A couple of questions.....

[Guest guest]

Hello!

 

I don't think I've yet introduced myself, even though I have been posting. My

name is

Kerri, I'm 24, and just starting to be serious about alternative methods to

achieving health.

I believe that there are healthy, natural ways to approach life, and that's why

I'm here!

 

I have a few questions already!

 

1. Does anyone have a natural recipe for getting the itch out of bug bites? I

am currently

using some burts bees outdoor bug bite relief, but with the amount of bites Ive

been

getting (b/c I am not thinking before I go outside......) I'm going through it

pretty quickly,

and it's 5 dollars a pop! I'd love to be able to make something at home!

 

2. My husband has some strange nerve pains that send shooting pains down his

legs/

groin area/lower abdomen. We believe it is caused by a pinched nerve in his

tailbone area

(from an incorrectly healed fracture, perhaps). The doctors do not want to give

him pain

medication (b/c they can't SEE what's causing it....) but they do have him on

cymbalta,

which has helped. He does see a chiropractor, but not frequently as our money

is a little

tight right now. Any ideas?

 

3. I am trying to lose some weight, and getting very discouraged. I gained

weight b/c of

medication for an anxiety disorder. So my questions are: any natural remedies

for

anxiety? and any thing other than diet and exercise that has helped with losing

excess

weight?

 

 

Alright- looking forward to the replies, and of course, NICE TO MEET YOU!!!

 

peace,

 

Kerri

Hey,hey twinkles,

Great name.

Welcome.

1)Bug bites: You did not say what kind of bugs!!!Use Km, Sweedish

bitters,H12, Make sure stinger is out

from bees, rub onion on it, Miracle II neutralizer, Rub around area

lightly to lymphasize and lymph will take away the toxins.

Best to avoid bugs with natural products on self and yard. See

info for mosquitos in past few days. Wear high frequency device,

size of a lighter, Big Lots used to have them, or something with

citron on it or lemon dish soap on a patch.

 

2)Try Ca. to calm the nerves or Ca/Mg. Or try salt and soda

baths. Or bath with Miracle II soap or neutralizer.

 

 

3)Try EFT: see emofree.com for anxiety or CD from drbate.com .

There are many good methods of wt. loss. See books by Dr. Dean Ornish

and possibly by Kevin Trudeau. Or try some vegetable juicing. If you

do not have a juicer, get one at Goodwill for $7. to 12.

Dear Kerri.....Homeopathically speaking, itching, burning, stinging, swelling,

redness due

to bug bites: Apis 6c and/or Histaminum 6c.

 

There are also a few possibilities for shooting nerve pain for your husband

(other than

chiropractic or acupuncture). Again, with homeopathy, you can use both

Hypericum 30c

for the nerve pain and Silicea 30c for the tailbone injury. Gnaphalium 30c is

also quite

effective for intense pain along the sciatic nerve when numbness alternates with

pain.

 

An anxiety disorder is viewed as a constitutional concern, so a complete

homeopathic

intake would serve you best in this regard. In the short run, Amazon Herb Co.

has an

herbal product, Kavazon, which is really terrific for anxious states; their

Calmazon is great

for bedtime calming. In homeopathy there's also Ignatia amara 30c which can

help with a

sense of hysteria.

 

I'm certain that you will receive many other ideas from this wonderful

community.

 

I hope some of the above has helped you.

the mention of the tail bone pain caught my eye.. I have started having pain

in that area for the last 4 months.. seems if I sit too long it bothers me

more..so I've tried to be moving around more.. and changing postions when I do

have to sit.. I didn't know others were having this..and if so.. do you know

what causes it? and how to get rid of it? thanks in advance for any help.

I know what causes it.. I had turned funny once and slipped a couple discs in my

back. But My tailbone started hurting after I fell from the discs. I had an MRI

and it showed that I tore the ligament in my sacroiliac joint. it was a tendon

that attached my tail bone to my hip. dunno what to tell you homeopathically, I

had 6 months of physical therapy and two injections of steroids directly into

the joint to no avail. Finally I had a blessing at church and lo and behold a

lil faith in the big guy and I can sit and stand and do dishes again.. Hope it

helps

Thank you for responding.. unfortunetly..I can stand and do dishes stil! LOL

I think most of it was from sitting.. but when I saw that someone else had it..

I was curious as to how they got it..and how they fixed it.. Again..thanks for

the response.. I do appreciate it!

Peace, Peggy
