The Mayo Clinic Book of Home Remedies: What to Do For The Most Common Health Problems

Many common health problems can be treated with simple remedies you can do at home. Even if the steps you take don’t cure the problem, they can relieve symptoms and allow you to go about your daily life, or at least help you until you’re able to see a doctor.

Some remedies, such as changing your diet to deal with heartburn or adapting your home environment to cope with chronic pain, may seem like common sense. You may have questions about when to apply heat or cold to injuries, what helps relieve the itch of an insect bite, or whether certain herbs, vitamins or minerals are really effective against the common cold or insomnia. You’ll find these answers and more in Mayo Clinic Book of Home Remedies.

In situations involving your health or the health of your family, the same questions typically arise: What actions can I take that are immediate, safe and effective? When should I contact my doctor? What symptoms signal an emergency? Mayo Clinic Book of Home Remedies clearly defines these questions
with regard to your health concerns and guides you to choose the appropriate and most effective response.

Answer by Ginger S
Arbonne is a great option for you I think. While it is not in hospital, there are many hospital employees that use and work Arbonne as well and it could help you get connected with opportunities. It can be worked along side of school, when you want and you can earn a significant income. I am looking for some serious business prospects who have a background in homeopathic medicine that want to change their lives. Before Arbonne I owned a web design firm for 10 years, but the quality of the products and the company has drawn my attention and I am working Arbonne full time. My goal is to help 3 people who want the financial and time freedom that I am now experiencing, launch their business. Arbonne is a health and wellness, internet based but also person to person company that strives to help people achieve their dreams while also developing professionally and personally. My life has changed so much because of Arbonne. You can live anywhere and do this business!! Maybe you should consider it? www.akarbonne.myarbonne.com I’d be happy to send more info as a decision like this is best made with all the information so that it is an educated one.

Alternative Health Care 101

Alternative health care options include approaches of healing that do not fall within the realm of conventional medicine.  But how do you know what your body will respond to best?   Some popular forms of this type of healing include, but are not limited to, homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic and herbal medicines.

The practices can be based on beliefs or ideas that do not go along with scientific methods.  They can integrate the following into the medicine:  spiritual, metaphysical or religious theories, pre-modern medical traditions and new ways of healing.  If the method is considered safe and effective, and can sometimes be moved to the conventional medicine category and will no longer be considered an alternative health care option.

Complementary is another group of medicine that is used in conjunction with conventional medicine and science, instead of in its place.  People tend to go to doctors for the diagnosis, but these other forms can be helpful to enhance the healing process.  These two forms of medicine also are often used together.

Alternative health care is gaining popularity, as more colleges are offering courses to learn about this practice, and more doctors are referring patients to get this type of healing treatment.  Scientists and others in the medical field have criticized these forms of medicine due to exaggerated claims and the fact that it goes against science, but people continue to take this route for the healing process.  With the skeptical people, there also are advocates who support this different way of having good health.

Question by Indi: How do people cope with the pollution in Nanjing, China? Doesn’t it pose a huge health risk?
I want to teach in Nanjing in the Spring, and I love what I have learned about the city so far. But I have severe chemical allergies due to a compromised immune system. This is a type II allergy known as multiple chemical sensitivity or environmental illness; my body just does not deal well with environmental toxins. I am already on a great protocol of detox vitamins and herbs; chiropractic; homeopathy; and good overall natural, holistic or integrative health care that helps me deal with the pollution here in New York City.

How do people cope with the pollution in Nanjing? How do they prevent illness? Are there alternative health care practitioners there?
Dear Extra_Mile:
Thanks for the information, but please do not assume that I am naive. Far from it, which is why I posted this question. Ironically, the health care system here in the U.S. is also not all it is cracked up to be, which is why I asked for information on naturalistic, alternative, or integrative health care practitioners. I have had this condition for ab. nine years. Trust me, I do not need to be told to take care of myself. Still, thank you for the info. and for your concern.

Best answer:

Answer by EXTRA MILE
Do not be naive. The health care systems in China are known to be unreliable and to some extent it is unsafe as some locals describe it.

You should make a trip to Nanjing to see how are you going to cope with the pollution problems there. The air and water are heavily polluted. Take care of yourself.

Bread and Butter Basics of Hair Health With Homeopathy

No one wants to lose their hair. Whether it’s a result of middle age for men, the aftermath of menopause for women or after a fever, the loss of hair can be a trying event. Hair loss can also be attributable to drug use, prescribed or not. Even hereditary hair loss can sometimes be halted with the correct natural care. This is where homeopathy and simple kitchen remedies can be employed.

Homeopathy is a medical discipline that has been shown to halt the loss of hair and put the sufferer in order. Because the word homeopathy includes the word home, many assume it means home remedies. Home remedies can indeed be useful in regaining and maintaining our health, but homeopathy is actually a form of medicine with a record that dates back to the late 1700’s and has been accepted throughout the world ever since. Unfortunately, this has not been the case in the United States since modern medicine was so enamored with antibiotics that it no longer considered homeopathy of value. This is changing and rapidly so. The premise of homeopathy is that he body has the ability to bring itself to health when given the correct stimulus. Well chosen homeopathic remedies offer that stimulus.

So how can homeopathy help with hair loss? If the loss is fairly recent and hair is still falling, then homeopathy can more than likely aid the situation. There are many remedies that can be considered, but before contacting a professional homeopath, it certainly would be prudent to give the following remedies a try.

The first remedy to consider is Calc phos 6x. This is particularly useful for hair loss due to a fever; however, it can also restore hair without that symptom. It should be given three times each day for several weeks. Stop when the job is complete. Silica 6x and Calc fluor 6x are also good choices for the loss of hair. These two remedies should be alternated so that one day three doses of Silica can be taken, while on the alternate day, Calc fluor 6x will replace Silica.

Although not considered homeopathic, diet can be a substantial contributor to either the loss of hair or the gaining of lustrous hair. A diet rich in animal and tropical fats is of the greatest value. That is, butter, lard, coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Making a habit of consuming these oils, rich in vitamins required for healthy hair and skin, can insure no further loss of hair and may re-institute the growth. In fact, it is likely that if these quality foods have been missing in the diet, that it might be the cause of the problem in the first place. Additionally, any of these natural oils applied to the scalp can invigorate health.

If these simple ideas find you without results, consider contacting a homeopathic consultant who can take the situation to a more personal level. The combination of homeopathy and natural diet change is natural and rational. It is not capricious like it’s modern medicine counterpart. Homeopathy and a high quality diet are true medicines for people who want to empower themselves with methods that don’t have an ulterior motive. Good bread and butter common sense for people who value intelligent action.

Effective Alternative Health Care You Can Use at Home

Alternative health is regaining the popularity it once had. And so it should. For the most part it is natural, with no side effects, easy to use and works in accordance with nature’s laws.

Some can even be used at home, with just a little knowledge.

For too long people have believed in the knowledge of specialists, rather than their own inner wisdom. This may be the route cause of all the world’s ills.

No-one else but you knows you as well as you do.

No-one else has been with you 24/7 from the time you were born. No-one else will be with you 24/7 until the day you die.

No-one else can know what is good for you. But you’ve forgotten how to listen. You’ve ignored that inner voice for so long, you’ve forgotten it’s there. So you let other people make choices for you.

It’s easier.

It causes less fuss.

But there’s a tiny inner bit of you rebelling.

Why can’t you be allowed to make your own choices in life? After all, it’s your life.

Well, there is one modality of alternative health that does allow you to do just that.

Whilst homeopathy is a wonderful and deeply curative modality, it is also a complex modality to use at this level. Definitely this part should be left to those who know it well.

But on a therapeutic level, a level for purely dealing with a pain or a malady, it can be very easy to use.

So easy to use, that anyone can learn how to use it quickly and with practice.

Home prescribing with homeopathy must be one of the most self empowering and satisfying things to do in life. Although highly beneficial, not all alternative health modalities can offer this.

Imagine being in the back-of-beyond, miles from anywhere, and you get bitten by a bee. If you have your homeopathic first aid kit to hand, the likelihood of it becoming a problem is small.

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night with a raging temperature. If you are able to read the kit instructions, or someone else can for you, it’s likely that you’ll find a remedy that will bring the fever down in double quick time.

Imagine you take a heavy tumble and are badly shaken and sore afterwards. With your trusty homeopathic first aid kit with you, you’ll probably be able to resolve the pain and shock within a very short period.

These are just some of the things you can resolve or help resolve if you want to practice a bit of homeopathic home prescribing.

The diversity which homeopathy has leaves all other forms of health care standing, including other forms of alternative health, wonderful though they may be.

It’s not uncommon for homeopaths to be able to completely resolve an issue which is only palliated by drugs, or even other forms of alternative health.
