Cure the Average Illness with Natural Health
You’ve started noticing a slightly running a nose and that your throat is a little sore. Living in denial is certainly an option but it is likely that once you start to notice the symptoms it is probable that you’re already very sick. Instead of reaching for the medicine cabinet handle, look around your house-you probably have all sorts of natural health remedies in your possession already. There are more options out there than what you’ll find on your pharmacy shelves. If your doctor has given you specific instructions for curing your illness you will want to follow them, but why not try out a natural health method first?
Did you know that onions can help your health? One of the most famous cold and flu remedies is a syrupy substance made of onions and honey. Dredge some onion slices in a bowl filled with honey and let them sit. It is important that this syrup has time to settle so, after combining the ingredients, it needs to sit, untouched, at least overnight. Take a spoonful of the mixture every few hours for the next few days and you should see your cold clear up pretty quickly. It is easy to add onions to your food, something that would go a long way to helping you stay healthy. Don’t forget to keep your eyes healthy as well, making use of reading glasses to reduce ocular tension.
Garlic is a famous system detoxifier. Taking up to 1500 mgs of garlic a day (500 mgs three times a day) is one of the best ways to ensure that the garlic can really get into your system to work its magic. One clove of garlic has about 500mgs in it. This can be accomplished by either taking a tablet of garlic or by including a clove of garlic into your meals at least three times a day. Garlic is readily available; you can by clove flowers of garlic at the store for low prices or a bottle of the spice pretty inexpensively. Five days is the maximum amount that you should do the 500mgs 3 times a day routine. Your doctor should be called if you spend more than five days feeling very sick.
Ginseng is a very important natural health ingredient. Ginseng is pretty easy to come by too–you can buy ginseng tea (both hot and iced) and it is usually easy to find in the herbal supplements section of your store.
To save yourself time and effort, stock up on ginseng infused foods and drinks while you are well-that way you can boost your immune system a little bit every day and have ginseng already on hand if you start to feel sick. Hot ginseng tea is best when you are feeling under the weather. In addition to the aid for your immune system, the hot tea can soothe a tired and scratchy throat and even soothe your sinuses. Killing a cold and getting well is best done by using natural health remedies. Why would you take a bunch of chemicals and drugs to heal your body when natural methods work just as well? Rather than reaching for pills, reach for teas, hot water and herbs. Don’t forget to let yourself rest to give the natural health methods time to do their jobs
