NATURAL & HOME REMEDIES

 

 

What is a Home Remedy? A home remedy is a treatment to cure a disease or ailment that employs certain spices, vegetables, or other common items. Home remedies may or may not have medicinal properties that treat or cure the disease or ailment in question, as they are typically passed along by laypersons. A Home remedy is defined as a simply prepared medication or tonic often of unproven effectiveness administered without prescription or professional supervision. Home remedies may or may not have medicinal properties that treat or cure the disease or ailment in question. Please read the disclaimer at the bottom of this section.

 

 

Do Home & Natural Remedies Work? 

Today herbs are catching a lot of attention due to their very nature of cure: simple, no side effects, no chemicals, inexpensive, plus the ability to be able to cure yourself. This trend for resorting to home remedies is not new. In fact, they have their origin in ancient times. Traditionally, in India, plants with medicinal value were grown in home gardens. These plants were used effectively as self-help remedies for managing primary health care.

 

More and more today it seems modern science is only working to herd us into our local doctor's office and load us up with expensive prescriptions drugs.

 

Natural remedies can be used to effectively treat a range of ailments through correct and regular usage. Whether it is to boost your child's immune system, preventing avoiding hair loss, treating persistent acne or dandruff, treating aches, pains or cuts and burns.

 

The medicament present in many home remedies is in the form of alkaloids, essential oils, enzymes, trace elements and minerals. Once absorbed they are assimilated only in the quantity needed by the human body.

 

One of the more popular examples of a home remedy is the use of chicken soup to treat respiratory infections such as a cold or mild flu, and according to recent studies, this may actually be effective.

 

Did you know that 6 cherries have the same effect as 1 aspirin? Plus cherries are filled with antioxidants.

 

Other examples of medically successful home remedies include willow bark tea to cure headaches and fevers (willow bark contains a form of acetylsalicylic acid, also known as aspirin); duct tape to help with setting broken bones, and duct tape or super-glue to treat plantar warts, and Kogel Mogel to treat a sore throat.

 

There are many things which act as a medicinal remedy.

For herbal home remedies or natural home remedies, the kitchen is a great place to start. It has almost all the medicines you would probably need at least, to deal with common ailments. Find a traditional home remedy for everyday ailments in our articles below.

 

One of the most important facts about herbal remedies that consumers should be aware of is the fact that, unlike other treatments, they are not governed by any governmental agency. This means there is no quality assurance system in place to ensure that the herbal remedy product you purchase contains nothing that would harm you, or even works for that matter.

 

Just remember that these home remedies don't provide miracle cures and aren't meant to take the place of the advice and treatments prescribed by your health-care professional. In fact, quite a few herbal remedies have adverse effects when combined with other medications; particularly prescription meds.

 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration specifically prohibits the manufacturers and marketers of herbal remedies from claiming that their product is able to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any kind of disease or illness. This doesn't stop many companies from coming as close to that line as possible, or even going over it. A surprising number of herbal remedies, including St. John's wort, Ginko Biloba, and Ginseng have very dangerous side effects when mixed with antidepressants.
