Herbal Cures For Common Illnesses – my tips
These herbs are listed for informational purposes only. Do not try to treat yourself without dosage information from someone who knows what they are doing. Some of the herbs can be deadly if used improperly. Just saying, ok?
Here we go:
Bladder Infection – Goldenseal and echinacea in combination are very effective. One or the other alone will be
functional as well. Include large amount of water in your diet until recovery. Cranberry juice is also helpful, but make sure it is an unsweetened variety (sweetened with apply juice is acceptable).
Bronchitis – Try combinations of Fenugreek, slippery elm, echinacea, ginger, or eucalyptus.
Burns – First Degree – Apply liniments of burdock, comfrey or sage. Aloe vera gel can be used to decrease
inflammation. Second degree – Same as first, but apply Vitamin E oil on burn. Third degree – if it is in a small area, treat as second degree, otherwise go to a doctor.
Colds – At onset, sleep, with the follow teas singly or mixed, lemon balm, yarrow, mint and elder flowers. Other things that can be used are cayenne or giner in a tea or as a powder. Farther into a cold, echinacea is recommended, provided there are no allergies.
Constipation – The following are useful for relieving this situation: aloe vera, psyllium husk, senna leaf.
Cough – Inhale eucalyptus from an ointment, or from a humidifier. Drink thyme tea.
Diarrhea – A chamomile and raspberry tea will help this, as will ginger.
Gas – Correcting the diet is essential. Isolate foods that cause gas, and remove them from your diet. A parsley tea after meals will remove the discomfort. Certain spices, such as garlic or ginger will help eliminate gas if cooked into meals.
Goose bumps – A warm cinnamon tea will relieve this condition.
Headache – Chronic headache sufferers should try adding spinach to their diet. Chronic migraine sufferers should try fever-few on a daily basis. White willow bark, ‘natures aspirin’ is recommended over acetaminophen, aspirin or ibuprofen.
Hoarseness and Laryngitis – Don’t talk. If you smoke, stop. Gargle a strong chamomile tea, humidify the air around you with a water and eucalyptus or water and menthol combination.
Throat Inflammation – Take sage tea every two hours along with echinacea in tablet or tincture form.
Tooth ache – Rub painful area with a tincture of cayenne.
