NATURAL SOLUTIONS FOR COMMON PROBLEMS
H ERBS AND minerals often
heal and cure common health problems without side effects. However, the cure
will not be complete unless you avoid the offenders that caused the problems in
the first place. Here are a few herbal solutions for common ailments:
The best remedies can
come from nature itself. Use these herbs to take care of minor ailments
OILY, ACNE-RIDDEN SKIN
Apply aloe vera juice
which serves as a soothing and calming gel. Tea tree oil is an excellent
antibacterial cleanser. Mix a few drops of tree tea oil in traditional ubtan
for a natural skin treatment.
MILD SKIN BURNS
If you get burnt with
a few drops of hot water or oil, use aloe vera jelly. Even allopathy recommends
aloe vera-based antibiotics and creams.
STUFFY NOSE, FEVERISH FEELING AND MILD ALLERGY AND
COUGH
The herb echinicea has
been used for ages to fight colds, flu-like symptoms, tonsil infections and
allergy-induced headaches. It reduces inflammation in the tracts and assists the
immune system.
RESTLESSNESS, SLEEP PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY CONNECTED
TO MENOPAUSE
Many women find the
menopausal period difficult due to sudden and excessive sweating and
restlessness. Take evening primrose oil in capsule form once a day for a few
weeks. Valerian root reduces anxiety, decreases the intensity of headaches and
is a mild sedative. Combine it with flowers of the Hop plant to induce sleep.
MOUTH ULCERS
Apply aloe vera oral
gel directly to the ulcers before sleeping. A small quantity of liquorice is an
effective natural balm.]
BAD BREATH
Bad breath can be
caused by sinusitis, post-nasal drip in the mouth, gum infections, poor dental
hygiene, fasting without water, indigestion or fever. Use a mouthwash made with
mint leaves, and chew cardamom or cinnamon after meals. Cut down on sugary
drinks. Use few drips of clove oil and a pinch of salt on teeth that have
dental caries. Maintain basic dental health routine: brushing, rinsing and
regular flossing.
