G'day/night all. I'd love to have a little place on here where we could discuss ways to relieve ourself of pain in a more natural and safe way other than just using prescription drugs and the such.
We can talk about different uses of various natural herbs that could be used instead of that normal Exedrin or antehistamene one uses for their headache or allergies. Or, even other ways we could further boost our immune system to prevent ourself from ever having to come down with any kind of flu during the Winter months.
Well, here's what I'd like to share that I already know of that could help one boost and prevent themself from becoming sick or ever having to come down with the pesky common cold:
Echinacea (?) - this beautiful daisy flower type herb is something that one could buy at nearly any store in the vitamin/health section that can be taken to boost one's immune system and taken to prevent catching the cold as well as not having to get get. This can also be found in the form of tea which can help one rid themself of a cold or flu more quickly if you happen to already have one.
Zinc - this is a vitamin that if taken 50 - 100 mg's of it a day, or one or two tablet(s), one normally could avoid catching the cold. This can work well if taken with echnasea and also can boost one's immune system. You can also buy them in the form of zinc losanges too.
Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) - this is great for the immune system as well. They can also be bought in liquid form and you only need to place one - two drops in a glass of water to drink it. Furthermore, according to a book called, the encyclopedia of Organic Gardening by the editors of Organic Gardening® Magazine, it states, "...its past use in treating mucous membranes," as well as, "When combined with bicarbonate of soda, it can be used to treat sore throats and inflammations of the mouth." Also, "Goldenseal is still a home remedy for upset stomachs and is used as a laxative." (pgs. 444-5)
(Ah yes, the famous) Vitamin-C - one can just further keep from catching the common cold, flu and so forth during the Winter time if they eat fruits and other foods that contain a lot of vitamin c in them. You also can go to nearly any health store and buy it in powder form, stir it up really good in a full glass of water and just drink it right down. This also can be found in tablet form that actually can taste pretty good where you can put them in your mouth and let them melt.
Well, those are only a few of the many examples of what herbs can do for us to build up the immune system to prevent having to deal with becomeing ill during the winter, more like, sick months. If anyone else would like to share anymore tips on herbs, please feel free to share them on here. ~
