No Comments »

poulticeWhen it comes to pain — headaches, back aches, joint pain, and so on — many people are fed up with using over the counter medications, and many are wary of relying on prescription pain killers. The latter can create a dependency and the former can fail to work well over time. Besides, there are healthier alternatives that will not cause potential damage to your stomach, your liver, and other vital organs.

There are, for example, a variety of poultice remedies that can be extremely helpful. A heat poultice is one. You can find many recipes for the paste used in this poultice on the internet; it is made of natural products with therapeutic properties. The paste goes into gauze, usually linen or muslin, and then you place it to the paining part of your body.

This can also be used to draw out boils or sores.

Cold tea bags can create a cold poultice. This can be helpful with sunburns. Many other things can be used for a cold poultice as well. Stay tuned and we will have some mixtures for you!

Depression is something that is very, very serious and can seriously mess you up emotionally and physically.  While there are many different medications that you can take for depression, I can promise you that natural remedies are going to be your best bet.  Not only are there a ton of different ones out there, but one could be sitting right on your tabletop.

Salt has been proven as a positive treatment for depression.  The reason is because salt actually triggers the mind to release a pleasant response, thus relieving any tension or depression that you might be having in your mind at that moment.

While most people say that too much salt is going to harm you, your body will actually crave salt if you do not eat it.
