Alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs are herbs and foods. Both heal. Herbs alternative medicine health can heal the body of disease. Let’s take a look at just five herbs and the uses for the human body. These herbs have proven themselves widely today as excellent healing treatments.
Colds and Flu
Winter season is almost upon us once again. With cold season coming soon we have to keep our immune system prepared so we won’t get sick.
A great way to have a healthy immune system is to eat right, get plenty of rest, drink pure water, and exercise daily.
But if you do happen to feel yourself coming down with a cold, here are the herbal remedies to apply. Take at the first sign of illness. Echinacea tea, elderflower, eucalyptus oil, and peppermint are all natural ways to fight cold symptoms.
Constipation
When we don’t eat enough fiber rich foods we become constipated. Other symptoms of constipation are irritable bowel syndrome. We may get headachy in the middle of the day, or upon waking up in the morning. Perhaps we become bloated and gaseous.
There is an herbal remedy for constipation. Herbs alternative medicine health recommends senna leaf, dandelion, and chaparral for constipation. All three have proven to overcome constipation and its symptoms.
HINT: If you find yourself feeling bloated, sluggish, tired, constipated and stressed out often, it means your body needs to detoxify. And then this remedy is only a temporary solution.
We must remember to always go to the “source” of our problems first and then the symptoms will usually take care of themselves.
Depression
Depression is a condition that worsens over time if not taken care of. The “source” of depression is too little serotonin in the brain. Remarkably there are foods high in serotonin like mushrooms and walnuts that can be eaten consistently to help with brain chemistry.
But will that alone give us the hormone balance we need to be happy? Probably not, we have to also exercise, eat right, and take care of our overall health. When one part of the body fails the rest soon follows if not taken care of.
It’s important to start taking care of your health today! Don’t wait for illness and disorders to get worse. Herbs alternative medicine health has shown that St John’s Wort is a wonderful herb to help people with mild to moderate forms of depression.
But as you supplement with this herb, take care of your health by eating right and getting enough daily exercise. Eliminate alcohol and refined sugar completely from the diet. Walking is an excellent form of non strenuous exercise.
Indigestion
The holidays are always wonderful times of the year to spend reminiscing with family and friends. But we don’t always eat right during the holidays and that dreaded indigestion and heartburn could flare up.
Herbs alternative medicine health recommends chamomile tea, ginger root tea, or skulk cap for helping with an irritable digestive tract.
Menstrual Problems and Menopause
Women can have many hormonal changes during ovulation, menstruation and the stages of transition. Herbs alternative medicine health highly suggests the use of black cohosh, cramp bark, catnip, or dong quai for the support of these issues.
Hormonal replacement therapy has side affects that can be harmful to your health. You don’t want to replace your hormones, you only want to regulate and balance the ones you have! These herbal alternatives give you that balance.
Did you know that most kitchens carry healing spices and foods and they don’t even know it? I highly recommend the natural remedies book listed below. It offers excellent advice, and foods and herbs to treat illness and disorders with.
