Herbal Remedies
July 9, 2008
Herbal remedies are the buzz of natural alternative medicine today and is gaining popularity over the allopathic drugs. When the body suffers from any ailment, we have the habit to pop up a pill. But if you remember how our grandmothers cooked up natural herbal concoctions and our coughs and colds disappeared or the constipated adults got relieved. The origin is totally natural, i.e. from the extracts of the plant (be it root, stem, leaf, flower or seed as per the herb specification).
PRINCIPLE UNDERLYING HOME REMEDIES
The basic fundamental behind these home remedies is the wholesome healing of the body by the use of chemicals. These chemicals are inherently present in herbs and other spices and are instrumental in flushing out the toxins of the diseased body.
HERBAL REMEDIES FOR SOME COMMON AILMENTS
1. Perspiration :
The repelling body odor as a result of perspiration may be controlled by consuming nuts, sprouts, green vegetables and fresh fruits.
2. Cough and colds due to stress :
Chamomile tea is the best antidote.
3. Constipation
The best laxative is the bael fruit followed by banana. Jack fruit and guava with seeds are also effective. Grapes, oranges at bedtime, papaya and lime with hot water are other natural remedies.
4. Arthritis :
This can be treated by various juices like the juice of raw potato slices soaked in cold water by the night and then drunk in the morning before having tea. Green vegetable juice with sugar beet is also a good remedy for joints. Similarly, sesame seeds extract may be prepared and consumed like the raw potato juice.
5. Acne :
The natural remedies for acne include the applying of grinded orange peel with water paste. Lemon may be squeezed and the juice applied on the spot. Garlic is also effective by virtue of its consumption (2 to 3 raw seeds) due to which the blood purifies. The paste of fenugreek leaves and cucumber juice is also effective.
Thus the need of the hour is to a thorough research from the tested sources and use herbal remedies as healthy alternative to indiscriminate drug use so that the aim of holistic health is achieved. The aim of herbal remedies is to remove the concerned ailment totally and not just suppress it like with the drugs over the counter. In this age of stress, herbal remedies seem to be the only lighthouse in the dark waters.
