natural remedies for illnesses

[MrsH]

Do you have any natural remedies you use when you get sick?

I have one I use when I get a sore throat and a cough

In a cup or mug:

Juice of 1/2 lemon
2-3 spoons of sugar

fill up with boiling water.

Drink while hot. It should taste sour, but not so sour that you can not drink it. Add more sugar if needed. Apart from help your throat because it is a hot drink, the lemon sort of 'coat' your throat and it feels much better.

I take a cup of milk boil it with a pinch of pepper & once it is perfectly boiled, just filter it and have it when hot. It helps the ones suffering from cold & throat infections or cough. This is my grandma tip whenever I fell sick with cold.

When I am sick I normally drink room temp. ginger ale. Just makes me feel a bit better. That or hot tea with honey.

There are tons of combinations that ease the symptoms of common, relatively mild viral attacks. Even with symptoms treated it is important to remember to stop and get rest. Of all the "natural" remedies, rest is the one that is often ignored.

I have always been told that gargling with warm salt water will help a sore throat heal faster. My mom passed that one on to me.

I have heard about the lemon juice bit, not with sugar, but with honey. What I have never heard of is the milk recipee, I may try sometime, I almost always have a sore throat or cough.

Has anyone tried the new things out now with zinc in them? I guess they are supposed to shorten the duration of a cold. I have never tried them though.

My favorite GP (the one I had while I was in Uni) actually told me to do this too. I had the most awful cough and sore throat. I was given a prescription for cough mixture and told to gurgle warm salt water. It taste yuk, but it sure worked.

This is the one I remember from childhood, and in fact I just got over a cold with a sore throat - and guess what I used for the sore throat: gargling warm salt water

As far as I can tell, zinc doesn't change the duration of a cold. The virus has to run its course.

[tater03]

Thanks, I had never tried them. I guess I won't waste my money. I hate viral codes. They seem to be the worst ones to get rid of in that they take so long to work there way through.

yeah I am sure you are right, but it gives some relief so it feels like it clears up faster.

For stomache aches and indigestion, I boil ginger root in hot water, lightly sweeten it with Stevia Leaf or you can use regular sugar if you prefer. I will drink that elixir a few times a day. I also drink it when I do not have a stomach ache so that I will not have any problems in the future.

Another way is drinking ginger ale to help out the problem, however I have found that I have problems with the carbonation so I stick with the tea.

I do this too but add whisky to mine!!(also called a hot toddy) cetainly takes the edge off if I'm feeling a bit under the weather!!

[tater03]

I could have used this yesterday. I had the stomach flu and would have loved to try something that might have helped. I will have to remember this one for the next time.

[fiona]

These are great natural remedies and I would love to hear about any more that any of you have.

For natural remedies the kitchen is a good place to start. It has almost all the medicines you need at least possible to treat common diseases. All without cost or negligible, purity, without side effects and dollops of TLC . Too good to be true? Well, it just a little awareness and understanding you need to make the most of it. Read a little about the natural resources to equip yourself to face a strange infant with colic and diarrhea.

Strep throat: Sage and chamomile tea are best natural remedies for strep throat. While the analgesic properties of chamomile tea provide rapid relief to the throat pain and headaches as well as reduce fever and prevent dehydration, sage has the ability to reduce inflammation and protect soft tissues of the throat and the respiratory system. These are very strong and natural remedies.
