2. Natural Health Tips

 

a) Turmeric takes care of your heart and body...

 

Turmeric or " Haldi " (as in Hindi) is a medicinal plant used in

India for thousands of years. Lot of scientific study had been

done about the medicinal property of turmeric. It acts as an

antiseptic and can be used to treat arthritis due to its anti

-inflammatory property. It also relieves digestive problems

like ulcers, dysentry. Lowers Serum Cholestrol and prevents

formation of internal blood clots. Improves Blood Circulation

and prevents heart disease or stroke. Though turmeric is added

to dishes in daily cooking, but a nice way of taking it daily

is to use one teaspoon of turmeric powder in a cup of warm milk

every day. For treating wounds, make a paste and apply twice a

day. Fresh or Dry Turmeric is also used in saline gargles for

relief from a sore throat.

b) Boswellia : Herb of the Fortnight...

 

Boswellia Caterii (Common Name : Salai Guggul) is the Indian

tree from which frankincense is distilled. It has long held a

place as both a symbol of spirituality and an effective

medicinal. It appears to act as both an anti-inflammatory and

an analgesic. Boswellia appears to be beneficial in the

treatment of pain, stiffness, and joint mobility related to

rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Boswellia, when taken

in a dose of 550 mg three times daily, appears to help people

with ulcerative colitis. In the ancient Ayurvedic medical texts

of India, the gummy exudate from boswellia is grouped with

other gum resins and referred to collectively as guggals.

Historically, the guggals were recommended for a variety of

conditions including arthritis, diarrhea, dysentery,

pulmonary disease, and ringworm.

 

Boswellia Capsules are available in health stores. If you are

still unable to source them , write to us at herbs

and we can tell you how to order from us.

c) Home Remedies for Sore Throat and a Stuffy Nose : Part I

 

1. Lemon juice is a good source of vitamin C. Take 1/2 lime and

1 tsp of honey in hot water. Honey helps to soothe the sore

throat thus relieve irritant cough.

2. Take 1 tbsp of fresh gooseberry juice with 1/2 tsp ginger

juice added to it is also found to be very effective. This can

be taken regularly to prevent recurrence of cold. Gooseberry has

got the highest vitamin C.

3. Steam inhalation with few eucalyptus oil drops will help to

relieve a stuffed nose. This can be done two to three times a

day.

4. Garlic and onion soup is an excellent remedy for cold. Garlic

have anti viral and anti bacterial properties.

5. A tablespoon of ajwain (Asafoetida) crushed in the palms and

tied up in a thin kerchief and can be used for inhalation to

relieve nasal block. This can be used for small children also.

This tied bundle can be kept on the pillow while sleeping and is

found very effective.

6. Ginger is other excellent remedy for cold and cough. Ginger

tea is good for fever, cough and cold. Dried ginger powder 1/2

tsp, 2-3 black pepper cones, 2-3 cloves, 2-3 cardamom, 1/2 tsp

Cummins seeds should be boiled and add little tea leaves and

sugar or honey and can be had hot. It gives good relief of the

throat pain, cold and cough. It can be taken two to three times

in a day.

4. Ask Sonzy : Ques-Ans Section

 

Asked by : Ahmed

Ques : I have a Quesion about how Natural Herbs can let you

GAIN weight... actually I'm Diabetic and I'm under weight,

57 kg and 175 cm tall ... my BG levels are somehow OK and

I don't know what to do. Maybe you have an answer

 

Answer: There are indeed many herbs which can make help you

regain body weight and composure. First of all, I would

recommend some sort of a light workout plan which you should

develop and start exercising and workout every day. Drink lots

of water. Since you are a diabetic, I cannot suggest you a

carb-rich diet. Otherwise that can help too.

 

Herbs that are considered helpful for gaining weight include:

Ginseng, Jujube, and Slippery Elm. Jujubes, which are used in

Chinese Herbology, often with Ginseng, are large tasty red

dates which help people struggling with low energy, nervous

exhaustion and poor appetite.Ginseng, is a herb that is

universally respected for its ability to restabilize a body's

energy and increase appetite. And Slippery Elm bark, which

is highly nutritious and is often tolerated by people with

weakened or nauseated conditions when no other food will stay

down, has been used successfully to help with weight gain.

It is often prepared with Ginseng. Other herbs which can make

you regain body weight and become normal are :

 

1. Alfalfa (conc.) - Improves the appetite. It is composed of

almost all vitamin and minerals.

2. Saw Palmetto - Contains an enzyme (lipase) that helps to

increase or normalize weight.

3. One herbal formula which helps to regain vitality and combat

a lot of diseases as well are Shilajit Capsules. Shilajit is a

dark sticky substance rice with medicinal powers extracted

from grass , moss and wildflowers. This substance was

discovered by the Ayurvedic therapists long ago. Ayurvedic

physicians used Shilajit to treat, among other things,

chronic bronchitis, digestive trouble, renal and bladder

problems, nervous diseases, diabetes, anaemia and fractured

bones. It regains lost vital force of body cells and regulates

the entire body. So all in all, it is a complete Body Vitaliser

and Health Tonic. You can take 2 capsules every day for weight

gain.
