Depend On All Natural Healing Remedies

By Edward Robinson


More people than you may realize do not turn to medical professionals when they are feeling out of sorts. Choosing to depend on all natural healing remedies rather than pharmaceutical drugs, they dose themselves at home. This is not as risky as it may sound, because people on the whole are well able to think for themselves, and because nature's cures are generally safe, well-documented, and effective.

You know yourself best, so you are the best judge of what is working and what is not. If you have low or high blood sugar levels, you can eat a more balanced diet of whole foods. If you feel tired, you can try natural hormone-balancing herbs. For insomnia, try herbal teas, mineral supplements, or certain vitamins. A holistic program can have many benefits with no side effects that can cause more problems. If one thing doesn't work, or work completely, try others.

Millions of people can't get the minimum of eight hours sleep that experts recommend. To fall asleep, take a cup of chamomile tea before bed. Magnesium capsules taken at night help promote sleep, as do valerian, hops, and passionflower (traditional relaxing herbs). Herbs can be used in combination or singly, and they can be taken as teas or in capsules or tablets. Minerals and herbs can also be taken together, to boost the effects of each.

People who have tried anti-depressants, or those who don't want to, can find help with alternative means. Amino acids - such as GABA or L-theanine - can help with anxiety and troublesome thoughts. Homeopathic flower remedies are life-changing for many, helping them deal with fear, grief, self-doubt, and procrastination. Herbs like St. John's Wort or Holy Basil have been used for centuries.

Minerals are important for total well-being, and they are often lacking in food grown in depleted soils or with chemical fertilizers. Magnesium is water-soluble, so you can't overdose without getting diarrhea. That means you can assess your own need for this nutrient, as well as the dose that works best for you. If you have leg cramps, sleep problems, constipation, or anxiety, you may need to supplement this common mineral.

'Holistic' means 'whole body'. By assessing your total health profile, you can narrow down which herbs, vitamins, minerals, or supplements can help. If something is going to help, it may address several health concerns. Rhodiola, an herb, can help make you feel more like exercising, which can improve your mental health and help with weight control, as well as stimulating proper digestion and elimination.

Apple cider vinegar can help you digest food, lose weight and body fat, suffer less from arthritis, and maintain a balanced pH in your body. Silica can clear up your skin, make your nails strong, make your hair shiny, and improve bone density. Castor oil can help with dry eyes, make your eyelashes grow, moisturize your skin, and help wounds heal faster.

The old remedies are true wonder drugs. People use natural means to deal with migraines, arthritis, indigestion and acid reflux, insomnia, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, and more.
