1. Sonzy Says...

 

I am very excited with each issue going out. Response has been

quick and I would like you all to keep sending me comments and

suggestions on how to make this better. I have signed up as an

expert at allexperts.com in the Alternative medicine section

where I can offer more tips to users with health problems in

daily life. Send in all your questions and I'll do my best to

offer you a natural remedy for it. All answers will feature

here.

 

Somebody recently asked me about a way to stop bleeding

and wound problems so this week I feature a natural cure found

in homes , Cayenne Pepper. You can also get it easily from

health stores. Also for all those constipated sitting in the

loo for endless hours, squeeze out the juice of a green olive

every day, drink it and within 5 minutes, your bowels will cry

out a nature's call. Hope this issue makes for healthy reading.

2. Natural Health Tips

 

a) Brew Golden Seal to heal Canker Sores !

 

Canker sores can be a pesky problem especially when you are

fond of Mozzarella Cheese on Pizzas and Lemon Drops. These

mouth ulcers can be painful and many a times won't heal for

10 to 15 days. Make a strong tea of GoldenSeal root (available

at health food stores) and use it as a mouthwash. Or you can

make a paste of it and apply directly to the sore.Goldenseal

is antiseptic, astringent and very effective.

 

Alternatively, you can take 1/2 a cup of chilled milk and swish

it around the mouth 2 times a day. This will sooth the sore and

gives speedy healing. Eating plain Unflavoured Yoghurt (Curd) is

also soothing.

b) Pep Up your life with Cayenne Pep-per !

 

Cayenne of the Capsicum Species (other names : Capsicum annuum,

paprika) was introduced into traditional Indian Ayurvedic

medicine as well as traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean

medicines, respectively. Ancient Ayurveda suggests that a combi

-nation of cayenne, garlic, and liquid amber can be used exter

-nally and effectively in form of a paste as a rubefacient

(agent which reddens the skin) and local stimulant. It is also

combined with mustard seed in a paste form used as a counter

-irritant. Cayenne is a powerful healer for all wounds and

bleeding problems.

 

Cayenne is known to be good for painful muscle spasms in areas

of shoulder, arm, and spine of adults and children. Prepara

-tions are used to treat arthritis, rheumatism, neuralgia,

lumbago, and chilblains. It is also used as a deterrent for

thumb sucking or nail biting in children.You can get Cayenne

pepper in different varieties at vitamins.com

c) Flush out Gout. Drink lots of water !

 

Gout can seem excruciating especially when it is in the big toe.

Its is a type of arthritis that strikes often at night, turning

the skin red-hot and leaving the affected area swollen and

tender. It is caused by plebeian uric acid.

 

Large amounts of fluid especially water can help flush excess

uric acid from your system before it can do any harm. For best

results, have five or six glasses a day. Lots of water may

also help discourage the kidney stones that gout patients are

prone to. Another good way to take in sufficient liquid is with

herbal teas. They're free of caffeine and calories, so large

amounts won't make you jittery or pile on unwanted pounds. Brew

as usual and drink often.

 

I sincerely invite all your contributions (tips, recipes),

suggestions, question and answers which will be included in

forthcoming editions at naturecure-owner
