Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Hi guys, Yep, I'm fighting off some sort of infection. Does anyone know of a home remedy or herb that could help me fight this off? I've been meaning to learn more about natural cures.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Oh, no. First medieval stuff and now herbs. I'm in heaven! (or, um, valhalla or reincarnation or avalon or spirit world ...wouldn't want to be sectarian!) There are some wonderful herbal remedies for immune boosting. The most often cited is echinacea, which for best results should be combined with zinc and good ole Vitamin C. It's easy to find in any grocery store or pharmacy. You might also want to try a simple infusion of nettles - which isn't necessarily for the immune system but is a wonderful medley of good stuff your body goes for. At any whole health store or natural foods store, you should be able to find dry nettles in bulk. Take a spaghetti sauce-sized jar and fill it w/ boiling water. Toss in two handfuls of dried nettles and let it sit for 8 hours/overnite. Strain and drink throughout the day. If the taste is too strong for you, try less herb or more water. Depending on what *kind* of infection you're fighting there might also be more specific remedies. If you're really interested, pick up a copy of " Healing Wise " by Susan Weed. A very quick read and a wonderful inspiration on the path to wholiness and wellness. Feel better! -K , " Laurie " <laitaina@h...> wrote: > Hi guys, > > Yep, I'm fighting off some sort of infection.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Jijilou gave some good ideas. I also wanted to add garlic... lots of garlic. Also a sufi once told me that using certain heat spice is wise during illness. Cayenne powder, cumin, etc. Hope you feel better soon! ~ PT ~ ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~> , " Laurie " <laitaina@h...> wrote: > Hi guys, > > Yep, I'm fighting off some sort of infection.
