Natural Home Health Remedies

Natural home health remedies also known as folk medicine are very much the same throughout the world. There are many simple homemade remedies that can be taken straight from the cupboard or garden that have superb healing properties.

In the United States alone approximate 80 % of ailments can and are treated with home remedies in the "folk" domain.

Obviously there are many serious illnesses that cannot be treated by homemade remedies, but for the less severe problems, some free home remedies and good old common sense may often offer the best approach.

Take ginger for example. By filling a small jar (about the size of an herb or spice jar) with freshly grated root ginger, covering it with vodka and leaving it to sit for two weeks before straining.

You have made yourself a great little tincture that will treat chills, nausea, travel sickness, spasmodic pains, and all those unpleasant aches and pains you get due to having a cold. This remedy keeps for up to two years if stored in a cool dark place, and all you need to do is add about 4 or 5 drops to any herbal tea.

One of the true pleasures when learning about natural free home remedies is rediscovering the forgotten art of making medicines for you and your family. You'll be surprised how easy and cost efficient it is to make your own creams, ointment, tinctures, teas, compresses and poultices.

You'll also discover that using more natural and gentle methods of healing can often resolve other ailments that may have been troubling you.

About 2 years ago a family friend was suffering with fairly bad digestion problems.

Peter (as we will name him) went to see his doctor and was told he was suffering with stress which in turn was giving him acid indigestion, Peter was prescribed drugs to relive the stress, unfortunately the drugs only irritated his stomach more and made the situation even worse.

 

 

Not getting much help from the doctor, Peter looked for home remedies that may treat him and found that eating live/bio yogurt each morning was enough to correct his stomach problems.

But here's the strange part, Peter had also suffered with hay fever every year for the last forty years until he started eating the yogurt.

Guess what? Peter hasn't had hay fever since!

I have told Peters true story many times to hay fever suffers and most have been pleasantly surprised to find that not only does the yogurt completely relive the symptoms of hay fever, but they have felt better than they have in years.

Now, it's probably better to go for low fat live yogurt to avoid weight gain, but do you think you could get a result like that from an over the counter antacid?

Let's explore home health remedies in more detail.
