Have You Considered a Natural Health Remedy?
May 4th, 2010 -- Posted in Natural Healing | 2 Comments »
If you are feeling a little under the weather your first thought may be to visit the doctor. This is especially true if your symptoms remain even though you have tried various over the counter products. This is exactly the right thing to do. You should always seek the assistance of your healthcare provider if your symptoms become chronic and will not go away.
In some cases the following scenario develops. You see the doctor and get a prescription based upon the diagnosis from your doctor. You return to the doctors office because the prescription did not help you. The doctor says well if that medicine did not work we can try this one. This can repeat itself several times and still you do not feel any better. Eventually you ask your doctor about natural health remedies and learn there really is no medical reason not to try an alternative medical approach. At this point you may be ready to try something new as you feel you have nothing to lose.
A natural remedy is really just that. It is something produced by nature rather than in a laboratory. Natural Healing remedies involve using healing substances and techniques that are not generally found in mainstream medicine. These include things like acupuncture, hypnosis, herbal medicines, biofeedback, massage therapy, and homeopathy. Alternative medicine does not involve traditional medicine approaches such as surgery and prescription medications.
Some practitioners such as massage therapists are licensed and have acquired specific skills and education to practice their craft. However herbal healers are not licensed. You need to develop a sense of their skills based upon personal recommendations and their years of experience. Of course the internet is another source of herbal remedies. The more reputable internet companies offer consultation services and provide detailed information on the usage of their products.
One difference with natural remedies is that when you choose this option you will need to take greater charge of your health care than you might have under a doctors care. Alternative Medicine may be the right choice for you if traditional medicine has not helped. You can purchase natural Herbal Remedies through skilled and reputable providers for far less than many prescription medicines. They often have few if any unpleasant side effects those traditional medications are prone to have. The Natural Health magazine is a good source for information on the safe and effective use of herbal remedies. Remember that herbal remedies are not tested by the FDA so you use them at your own risk.
You should not experiment on your own with natural health remedies. Herbs and homeopathic remedies are easily obtainable. That may not be a reliable indication of how safe they are. Do your homework and if you do not know for sure, assume a herb could be dangerous to you and proceed with caution.
There are many great resources. One resource book on how to safely use herbs is Natural Health magazine’s Complete Guide to Safe Herbs by Chris Meletis. Chris is a certified naturopath. This book is quite comprehensive and defines the natural properties of herbs. It clarifies their safety when combined with other herbs or prescription medicines. Chris also covers toxic herbs that should be avoided.
When used appropriately natural health remedies often provide relief from symptoms where traditional medicine has not helped a person. There are fads in natural remedies that should be avoided as well as scams and over hyped infomercial products. Do your homework and find a skilled, reputable practitioner that you can trust.

Rosacea – Causes, Symptoms and Natural Cures
May 4th, 2010 -- Posted in Natural Cures | Comments Off
Rosacea is a very common disorder. Many who suffer from it do not even know that they have it because it is easily mistaken for other skin disorders. There is no cure for rosacea, so the goal of treatment is to reduce or minimize the symptoms as much as possible. In many cases, patients try to cope with the symptoms by using a rosacea lotion or a combination of different rosacea skin care products.
Rosacea is a chronic (long-term) disease that affects the skin and sometimes the eyes. The disorder is characterised by redness, pimples, and, in advanced stages, thickened skin. Rosacea usually affects the face; other parts of the upper body are only rarely involved.
Causes
The exact cause of rosacea is unknown, various theories about the disorder’s origin have evolved over the years. Facial blood vessels dilate too easily, and the increased blood near the skin surface makes the skin appear red and flushed. Various things called trigger factors can increase this redness response. Acne-like bumps appear, often in the redder area of the central face. This may be due to factors related to blood flow, skin bacteria, microscopic skin mites (Demodex), irritation of follicles, sun damage of the connective tissue under the skin, an abnormal immune or inflammatory response, or psychological factors.
Signs and Symptoms
The primary symptoms of Rosacea are Flushing, redness that comes and goes it resembles the look of blushing. Persistent Redness, continued redness of the face that looks like you have constant sunburn. Bumps and Pimples, absent of blackheads but what looks like acne, solid red bumps or puss-filled pimples. Visible Blood Vessels, you may start to see blood vessels on your face. Secondary symptoms can include eye irritation, swelling of the face mainly around the nose, dry appearance, a change in skin thickness, and plaques.
Rosacea typically causes inflammation of the skin of the face, particularly the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. When rosacea first develops, it may appear, then disappear, and then reappear. However, in time the skin fails to return to its normal color and the enlarged blood vessels and pimples arrive. Rosacea rarely reverses itself. It lasts for years and, if untreated, it will worsen. Rosacea does not cause the blackheads and whiteheads that are in common acne.
Drink Alkaline Water
You should drink at least ten glasses of alkaline water per day to help neutralize the acids that cause your rosacea flushing. It is important to remember to drink water throughout the day even if you do not “feel” thirsty. You should drink considerably more water if you are working outside, playing a sport, or doing anything physically taxing. You should also drink more if you live in a dry climate or have a higher metabolism, anxiety, or stress. Water is needed for skin tissue repair as well as nearly every body process including efficient digestion, absorption, circulation and secretion. Water carries vital nutrients to the skin and all body cells and removes waste.
Be sure to use a gentle skin cleanser without harsh abrasives or other harsh chemicals/ingredients. Excessive alcohol and harsh chemicals abound in many cleansers, so be sure your cleanser is free of irritants. There are some great anti-redness masks, serums, and gentle cleansers out there for rosacea sufferers that will soothe and calm the skin, bringing back its normal color and balance.

10 Myths OF Homeopathy That Most People Do Not Know
May 4th, 2010 -- Posted in Homeopathic Medicine | Comments Off
Homeopathy is the second most popular medicine in the world. However, most people really do not know too much about Homeopathy. This article will help clear up some misconceptions associated with homeopathic medicine.
1) Homeopathic medicines are nothing more than sugar pill that contain no measurable substance.
Certain homeopathic medicines have no measurable substance. However, many remedies do have measurable substances. In medicine that is 24X or 12C has no measurable substance. However, some medicine potencies such as 6X, 6C, 12X will have a measurable substance.
2) Homeopathy has never been successful in large scale well designed trials. Trials have only worked when homeopaths were doing the trials or poorly designed trials with quite a bit of author’s bias.
Trials in Homeopathy is a very mixed bag. Sometimes people are looking at the wrong information source. Many skeptics will take successful trials and point out that when looking at larger trials in the study, homeopathy does not seem to work. Although, the conclusions of the authors were that homeopathy seems to works better than a placebo.
However, some trials that were successful were fairly large. Oscillococcinum trials were quite large and well designed but still yielded a positive result in shortening the flu duration. Similar studies with Osccillococcinum were replicated as well. The idea that homeopathic remedies have never been successful in a large scale well designed trial is not true.
3) Homeopathy should not be used to treat life threatening diseases.
Homeopathy can treat life threatening diseases with the help of a well trained homeopathic physician. Also, the general medical doctor and other specialists involved in treating the disease should be included on the treatment plan. Medical doctors should always be seen if you have a life threatening illness. Homeopathy can not cure all life threatening diseases.
Many people with life threatening diseases have faired well with Homeopathy. Homeopathy malaria trials show that in trials that homeopathic medicine worked as well as conventional medicine in treating people with malaria.
4) Homeopathy and modern medicine can not work together
Homeopathy can be quite complementary to modern medicine.Many patients under going chemotherapy have seen their side effects reduced when taking homeopathic remedies. Trials with reduction of cancer treatments provided encouraging results.
5) Homeopathy, Herbal, and Ayurvedic medicine are similar.
Homeopathy, Herbal and Ayurvedic are forms of Alternative Medicine but these forms of medicine are not similar in any other way. Homeopathy use diluted substances to treat patients. Every medicine has been diluted in water or alcohol.
Herbal medicine is medicine based on the use of plants. Ayurvedic is an ancient system of medicine started in India that operates with the theory that all materials of vegetable, animal, and mineral origin have some medicinal value.
Ayurvedic use these materials to treat patients. Ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines are used quite a bit in India so that creates some confusion in people thinking they are the same thing.
6) Homeopathy is slow to work
Acute conditions such as flu, colds, motion sickness and pain relief can be treated quickly using Homeopathic Medicines. Chronic conditions are slow to work because they are complicated to treat. Chronic conditions would be acne, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions will take longer to treat.
7) Homeopathy is only for human use.
Actually, petmeds is one of the fastest growing use of homeopathic products. Homeopathy offers a safe and inexpensive way to treat your pet of acute conditions such as allergies, anxiety and joint stress relief.
You can get a book on Homeopathy and treat yourself.
This may be the case in acute conditions such as cold and flu. However, more complicated and chronic cases will require you to see a homeopathic doctor. Chronic cases involve generally taking quite a few remedies in the course of a treatment. A book can not tell you which homeopathic remedies to take and how much to take when your condition starts to improve or worsen.
9) Homeopathic remedies are not widely available.
This may have been true a few years ago. However, many remedies can be found pretty much all over the US. Walmart, CVS Pharmacy, Target and larger retailers carry combination homeopathic remedies for acute conditions such as cold and flu and insomnia.
Single remedies which homeopaths claim to work the best are not as readily available. These remedies can be found in health food stores, natural pharmacies or on the Internet. They are more specialized and generally most people taking simgle remedies have some homeopathic knowledge or a doctor has prescribed that medicine.
10) All homeopathic remedies work the same on all people.
Homeopathy works different on different people. Classical homeopathy treats different individuals with different remedies according to their personality type. One person may use one remedy to treat a illness, while another person would use a different remedy to treat the same illness.
Homeopathy assumes everyone is different so using the same remedy to treat everyone will not work according to Classical Homeopathy principals. Modern medicine generally gives everyone the same medicine for general conditions.

Beauty in Your Kitchen – Home Remedies for Younger Skin
May 4th, 2010 -- Posted in Home Remedies | Comments Off
Have you ever wondered whether there was another way of retaining that youthful glow of your skin without spending a fortune on all the anti-aging beauty products that are being advertised today? Well, there is, and it’s in your kitchen. There are many effective, safe and inexpensive Home Remedies for younger-looking skin that can be made from the ingredients you normally have stocked in your kitchen. The following is just a small listing of the home remedies you can use for younger skin.
Honey and Almond Scrub. This gentle facial scrub is great for removing oils and dead skin cells. Mix a small amount of ground almonds with honey to make a paste. Massage the paste into your skin with a hot washcloth and then rinse with cool water.
Cornstarch. Cornstarch dries up oily patches. Mix 1-3 tablespoons of cornstarch with warm water to make a paste. Rub on your face, let dry, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Use it once a day for best results.
Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic). There are two ways to use apple cider vinegar for great skin. The first is using it externally to exfoliate your skin. Apply the vinegar to a cotton ball prior to bedtime and let dry for five to ten minutes. Then rinse with cool water. Be careful when first using apple cider vinegar on your skin as some people may have an allergic reaction to the acid on their skin. If using the vinegar straight is too strong for your skin, then dilute the vinegar with four parts of water.
The second way to use apple cider vinegar as a home remedy for younger skin is to drink 2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar in 16 ounces of water throughout the day. Again, be careful when using the vinegar as some people may have an unpleasant reaction to the acid in the vinegar.
Aloe Vera. Break open a leaf of an Aloe Vera plant (you do have one in your kitchen for burns, don’t you?), scrape the gel out and smooth onto your skin. Let dry then rinse off.
Vitamin E. Prick a capsule of Vitamin E or wheat germ oil and smooth directly onto your skin. Vitamin E is said to slow down the aging process and wheat germ oil promotes skin elasticity.
Cucumber. For tired eyes, place cucumber slices over your eyes. Cucumber juice is also effective in bleaching out age spots. Combine one tablespoon of cucumber juice with 2 tablespoons of water and apply to affected areas twice daily.
Lemon. To lighten age spots, rub lemon directly onto your skin.
Egg Whites. Beat one egg white until frothy and stiff. Apply with soft brush or cloth around inner and outer eye areas and along cheekbones. Leave on for 10 minutes. Remove the mask by spraying areas with water and using cold water on a cotton ball or washcloth to remove. This works for reducing crow’s feet as well.
Green or black tea. For puffy eyes, steep two bags of tea in hot water for 4-5 minutes. Let cool until the bags are comfortably warm. Lie down, close your eyes and put abag over each eye then cover with soft cloth.
Fruit Yogurt. Used as a wrinkle mask, add 1 tablespoon of honey and 1/2 a ripe banana to the yogurt for an even better mask.
Watermelon. This is a great natural cleanser when crushed and smeared onto the skin. You can use it just by itself or you can mix it into your favorite fruit yogurt as a mask.
The above is just a brief listing of quick, inexpensive and effective home remedies for younger skin that you can create from things that can be found in your kitchen. As with anything new, test everything you are going to put on your face (or take internally) to see if you will have any type of unpleasant reaction to the treatment.
