Natural cures
for everyday Health Issues takes many forms.
We call them Grandmas’ old remedies or natural cures, but they are cures
without using medications. Do you know
how to stop a baby’s hiccups? A little
bit of sugar on your finger will take them away after he’s done sucking off the
sugar. Another one for hiccups for
someone older is to try to scare them out of them, sipping water from a glass
upside down, and then there’s my personal favorite. Taking a big, deep breath and holding it
until you either turn blue, pass out or your body forces you to breath. And that’s what it does; you can’t
voluntarily hold your breath to turn blue.
Some other old
remedies I remember from living with my Grandma. Do you have a cold? Then the best thing is to do a sink full of
dirty dishes and make the water as hot as you can stand it. Personally, I would just rather go sit in the
shower. Have you ever had vapor rubbed
on your chest and covered with a piece of flannel? Been there, done that lots of times. Our cough syrup was honey and lemon
juice.
Headaches also
have many natural cures you can try.
Exercise is a good idea, a brisk walk will get your blood circulating,
release contracted muscles and generally just lets you relax. My personal favorite is a hot bath. The hot water also helps release bunched up
muscles and helps you to relax.
Did you know
that dehydration could cause headaches?
It’s been printed that you need to drink at least six to eight glasses
of water a day. I have heard the excuse
that you don’t like the taste of water, but now it comes in so many flavors and
without sugar that excuse is pretty well not usable anymore. In addition, other natural cures for
headaches include acupressure, acupuncture, and aromatherapy. You need to press or massage on the fleshy
area between thumb and forefinger, that’s one of the pressure points for
acupressure.
Other ways to
get rid of a nasty headache is to lie down in a dark room avoiding bright
lights. Alternate hot and cold
washcloths applied to the area where the pain is located. If you haven’t eaten in a while, have
something to eat that is nutritious.
Do slight neck rolls and shoulder lifts to relieve tense muscles in your
shoulder and neck area.
Here are some
interesting natural cures for symptoms of pregnancy I wish I’d had when I was
pregnant. To relieve symptoms of morning
sickness there are natural cures you can do to help the situation. One of the most obvious is to cut out spicy
and fatty foods. Another is to stay away
from strong odors such as onion, garlic, and coffee. You should eat several small meals a day
instead of three big ones. Try eating a
few soda crackers with a couple of sips of room temperature water before you
get up in the morning. Again,
acupressure is recommended by wearing sea bands three quarter of an inch down
your wrist in between tendons. Last, eat
what sounds good to you. My doctor gave
me that advice and it has been good for me throughout my life. Generally, if it sounds good, you can keep it
down better.
Heartburn can
also be helped by many of the same remedies of morning sickness. Some extra hints are avoiding trigger foods
that are acidic, spicy, and fatty. Avoid
tight fitting clothing after you’ve eaten which can worsen the symptoms. One other idea, add some slippery elm powder
to a cup of tea.
Natural cures
are available for arthritis sufferers as well. Ginger extract is a natural
anti-inflammatory substance. It takes
damaging oxidizing agents out of the body.
In other words, it’s an antioxidant.
Ginger extract is completely natural and can be taken and have no side
effects. Willow has also been used to ease pain. The Greeks used to mash the leaves of the
willow plant with a little wine and apply it to the sore area.
Lifestyle
changes can significantly impact pain levels of arthritis. Getting some exercise daily will help the
joints moving freely and strengthens the joints. Don’t overdo, but a little exercise will go a
long way to keep you moving freely. It
helps some sufferers if they cut back on certain foods. Some of those foods are red meat, dairy
products, and tomatoes. Eat a lot of
fruit and vegetables, include plenty of Vitamin C and you’ll find your joints
will feel better but you’re also eating healthier too.
