Ok, so for fun I, thought we could share things that have worked for is. Natural remedies for various illness. Stuff you have personal experience with.
NO SZ CURES, PLZ
Ok, so things I know work for a few illnesses and injuries:
Apple cider vinegar for some food poisoning cases. I was sick, badly, and drinking apple cider vinegar stopped the symptoms within an hour.
Apple cider vinegar for osteoarthritis pain.
Black pepper, ground, stops bleeding.
Lion’s mane helped my anxiety AND my husbands neuropathy pain some.
St John’s wort improved my mood a little.
Peppermint oil on a cotton ball can help nausea. (Just used for my husband 2 days ago!)
Narrow leaf Plantain (a wild plant that grows everywhere) can help heal cuts and burns. I make a salve with it.
For example, when I remove my continuous glucose monitor (Dexcom CGM) from my abdomen, and put a new one on a different abdomen spot, the old spot gets black fuzz from shirts, all over the leftover stickiness. I gently rub a cotton round on my skin, with orange oil on it, and it removes the stickiness!!
I’ve also used orange oil to remove sticker residue on other surfaces. Like, if you get a new garbage can and it has a big sticker with the info and barcode… I rip it off and use orange oil to remove the stickiness left behind.
For insomnia, I’ve been suggested a glass of warm milk before bedtime.
For tinnitus, ask your primary care doc for an ear check-up, oftentimes it is wax buildup.
Have weight changes, fatigue, or swelling of the neck? Incorporate seaweed into your diet.
Constipated? Try wasabi peas for fast, effective relief.
There are a lot of good suggestions here. The one that sticks in my head, is using 5-HTP for depression. It is a natural substance, crosses the blood-brain barrier and it works like a charm for me
I take psyllium fiber, Metamucil brand, to reduce cholesterol and appetite. I read that soluble fiber reduces cholesterol. Also taking licorice extract to reduce libido.
Psyllium husk seeds are the number one treatment for irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and diarrhea. And if you suffer from flatulence (farting) it’s simply the best.
I suffer occasionally from irritable bowel and when i have an attack i eat psyllium for a couple of days and the pain ends. I stay on psyllium for a couple of weeks.
i take a pinch of cayenne pepper throughout the day as a blood circulation aid, i learned about it in my herbal medicine book, i’ve also heard taking cayenne daily can help alleviate pain, but i have no experience with that and don’t know if it’s true.
