Using All Natural Healing Remedies

By Edward Robinson


Millions of people do what generations before them did; they depend on all natural healing remedies to maintain or regain health. Rather than going to a doctor and taking prescription drugs, they use herbs, foods, or supplements at home. They can confidently do so, because if used in traditional, common-sense ways the old cures are both safe and effective.

After all, you know yourself best. You know what works for you in many areas, like balancing your blood sugar for sustained energy, or keeping yourself 'regular', or getting a good night's sleep. At least, by trying a natural remedy, you may find a holistic therapy that has no harmful side effects and works like a charm. There are many things to try, too, so if one doesn't work, try another.

Insomnia is an annoying condition that affects more and more people as the population ages; it also can compromise health if it persists. If you can't fall asleep easily, try a cup of chamomile tea before bed. Magnesium can also help with relaxation, as can herbs: passionflower, valerian, hops, and kava kava. Methacobalin, a form of vitamin B-12, and melatonin, a hormone, are two supplements that millions use for a good night's sleep.

Another problem that affects many is anxiety and/or depression. Rather than immediately trying an anti-depressant drug, which may be dangerous if it's not right for you or addictive, you have many options. The flower remedies, a branch of homeopathy that is so safe you can even take them with medication, work wonderfully for many. Amino acids like GABA or L-theanine help others. Herbs that can work include St. John's Wort and Holy Basil.

Minerals can also be calming, and there lack can cause anxiety as well as other problems. Magnesium is a very important one, used by the body in hundreds of metabolic processes, and it is safe, since it's water-soluble. If you take too much, you get diarrhea, so it's easy to set your own dose. Sleeplessness, anxiety, leg cramps, and constipation are all signs of low magnesium.

In fact, assessing your health profile is one way to choose which supplements or foods will help your total well-being. Any natural substance that you need may help several health conditions you have. If you want to lose weight, for instance, you may want to try rhodiola, an herb that helps with motivation to exercise. Exercise improves muscle tone, circulation, digestion, and elimination; in fact, it is good for you all over.

Other nutrients work in this way, too. Apple cider vinegar, a common food, will balance blood pH, help burn stubborn belly fat, ease arthritic aches, and improve digestion. Silica, a mineral that you can take in pill, liquid, or herbal-source form, makes your fingernails strong, your hair shiny, your bones dense, and your skin clearer. Castor oil heals wounds, moisturizes skin, helps with dry eyes, and restores luxuriant eyelashes.

Talk about wonder drugs! Natural substances can help you deal with everything from hormone imbalances to migraine headaches, from bad breath to gun disease, from fatigue to insomnia. Begin to educate yourself on nature's curatives and feel good again.
