Natural remedies

[luvbunnies42]

Do you use natural health care remedies and what are some you use? I am always looking for more natural health care choices and would love to try other natural methods in the future.

I currently use ear candles.I know some people are dead set again them and think they don't work.No, they may not work for everyone but it does work for me. I prefer the herbal wrapped ones for sinuses.

I use salt water solutions for my sinuses and when I get a canker sore. I plan on buying a neti cup but haven't ordered it yet.

I use alot of fresh herbs when I cook and try to enjoy the health benefits when I'm eating them. I use alot of fresh garlic as well as other herbs.

Those are a few things I do. What are some things you do?

I use liquid silver instead of antibiotics. You have to be careful, because it will kill EVERYTHING in your system, so you have to make sure you eat yogurt when you're done taking it. I also didn't use it while I was pregnant b/c I wasn't sure if it would have any negative effects.

However, after I used it about three times for ear aches, they just went away. When I took antibiotics they would come back once or twice a year!

That scares me. Isn't that the stuff that turned that man's skin blue/light purple?

Possibly, but only if he was taking it every day!
I only take it when I'm sick.

Oh.From what I remember it was in his medicine that he was taken.They weren't sure what it was intil he turned that blue color. It was odd because he reminded me of a smurf.That still scares me.Probally because I don't know enough about it.

I haven't heard about that particular story, but I have heard of other people turning blue/gray after taking it every day. As with anything, you should always research it before you start using it!

Like I said, it was the only thing to get rid of my earaches for good. That's a little different, though, because you drip it down into your ear - you aren't ingesting it!

I drink ginger root tea when I have a sore-throat or cold. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables. I take a liquid supplement, with mangosteen, aloe vera and green tea. I use shea butter to moisturize my skin and products that don't have the harsh chemicals in them. I also take a colon cleanse.

I use liquid silver if I have a sore throat, and it works great for me. When I feel like I'm catching a cold, I take a few drops of oreganol oil. I swear by this stuff

I have noticed that my sinus issues subside when I cut back on the suggary things.

i usually go to the alternative, more natural remedies for common illnesses. they do the job with the same efficiency as you would get from other form of medication. although certain conditions require a particular medication, most of these medications have alternative counterparts anyways. I do get some therapeutic bath salts bath every once in a while.

For small colds I take echinacea, Vitamin C and Zinc. It helps me feel better much quicker and sometimes I can avoid it all together if I start taking these right when I start to feel a little sick. For more serious things I think it is important to see a doctor and I'll log on to Healia Communities to learn more about whatever health topic is on my mind. If I have a question I can ask a real medical professional and typically get an answer back within 48-hours.

I take natural vitamins and supplements. When I am sick, I take a vitamin C supplement, but on a daily base I take a multivitamin, a fruits and vegetables supplement, coenzyme 10 and an Omega supplement.
