Which means treating with an alternative medicine rather than a conventional one. Let’s take a look at some common health conditions that involve simple kitchen remedies.

Alternative Health Medicine Natural: Toothache

Take about five or six cloves and mix them in a blender with enough olive oil to make a paste. With clean fingers rub a liberal amount all around the gum and tooth area that hurts.

When I realized this worked for myself I bought some clove oil extract from the health food store, and it works in the same way. Of course, this is only a temporary solution to an infected tooth.

You will need to go to the dentist as soon as possible to find out why your tooth is infected. You may have a cavity. Clove is the active ingredient in teething gel for babies called Oregel. So it makes great sense that the natural clove would work so well.

Alternative Health Medicine Natural: Heartburn

So it is important to avoid acidic foods if you are prone to getting heartburn. When we suffer with heartburn, acid stomach or indigestion, it means we need to alkaline the body. How can we do that naturally?

There are two simple kitchen remedies that relieve heartburn symptoms - apple cider vinegar or ginger. Mix ¼ cup apple cider vinegar with ½ cup water and drink every three or four hours. Do not use regular white vinegar. It will make your heartburn worse.

Or you can try the ginger tea. Mix one heaping teaspoon of powdered ginger in a cup of hot water and drink. In ten minutes heartburn will be gone!

Understand that the reason why we get heartburn is we have an unbalanced body. This can happen from stress, too much fatty or sugary food, eating too fast, eating too many acidic foods, and from improper food combining.

Many people have said that once they begin to properly combine their food groups, (not mixing a protein with a carbohydrate) all signs of indigestion and heartburn disappear.

Alternative Health Medicine Natural: Poison Ivy / Oak

The poison that comes out from the rash also gets lodged in our fingernails. This is how the rash spreads to other parts of the body. So you have to be very careful with this kind of condition.

There is a wonderful kitchen remedy that relieves the itching and brings out the poison from the skin. Warm up 2 cups (not to boiling) of apple cider vinegar. Soak a clean cotton cloth in the vinegar, and wring some of the vinegar out.

Apply the cloth to the skin and leave it there for up to an hour, doing this several times in a day. This will sting when you first put it on the rash, but in a few minutes it will relieve the itching and it will also clean the rash.

This is what alternative natural medicine is all about – finding what is natural and using it as an alternative treatment rather than something that may harm you in the long run.

Anything we put on our skin will get absorbed into the blood stream. This means cortisone crèmes and other rash ointments are not the best options for putting on our skin.
