Nature’s Herbal Remedies
Many people rely on herbal supplements to alleviate a wide variety of symptoms. Herbal remedies are generally considered safe, but as with many supplements, it’s best to consult a medical professional before taking them.
I did some research to see what supplements are recommended for common ailments. Here they are:
Acne – calendula, aloe, tea tree
Anxiety And Stress – kava, passion flower, valerian, chamomile, lavender
Arthritis – capsicum, ginger, turmeric, willow
Athlete’s Foot – topical tea tree oil
Bad Breath – parsley, echinacea, ginseng
Burns – aloe
Canker Sore – goldenseal
Colds – echinacea, ginseng, licorice root (sore throat) tea (nasal and chest congestion
Depression – St. John’s wort
Diverticulitis – peppermint
Dizziness – ginger, ginko
Earache – echinacea
Eczema – chamomile, evening primrose oil
Fatigue – cocoa (dark chocolate), coffee, rhodiola
Hey Fever – stinging nettle, butterbur
High Blood Pressure – garlic, beans, cocoa (dark chocolate), hawthorn
High Cholesterol – apple, cinnamon, evening primrose oil, flaxseed, soy foods, green tea
Hot Flashes – red clover, soy, black cohosh
Indigestion – chamomile, ginger, peppermint
Menstrual Cramps – kava, raspberry, chasteberry
Migraine – feverfew, butterbur
Nausea – ginger
Toothache – willow, clove oil
I can’t vouch for the effectiveness of any of these except coffee, and I can definitely vouch for that!
