HOME REMEDIES
Bee stings—After removing stinger fresh onion juice
is great to relieve the pain, cut a piece of onion and rub onto sting. Or you
can mix a little baking soda and water and rub on sting, this relieves the pain
and cleans out any poison quickly as well.
Bed Wetting—If a child has a constant problem of
wetting it could be an indication that the child has a toxic build up in the
kidneys or bladder. A good way to
cleanse the kidneys and also strengthen the body is barley water. To make barley water you use ¾ cup barley and
6 cups water, boil on the stove for up to 20 minutes. Drain and discard barley grains, then add the
juice from two lemons and sweeten with a little sugar. Barley water is also good for clearing
urinary tract infections.
Cough—Make a homemade cough syrup with honey and
onion. Chop up onions and place in pan,
cover with honey and cook on low (130 degrees or less) until onions are
clear.
Diarrhea--
Raspberry leaf herbal tea is a good thing to keep on hand and can be
very effective in treating diarrhea.
Peach leaf tea and sunflower leaf tea work, although the sunflower leaf
is very potent and should only be used in small amounts.
Common household spices that are
good for diarrhea are cayenne, cinnamon, cloves, rosemary sage, thyme, and
nutmeg.
Earache – Lightly bake a large onion, cut in half and
place half on each ear holding them in place with a hat. And leave on overnight.
You can
use colloidal silver, which is somewhat costly yet much cheaper than a doctors
visit. You should only need 1 drop in
the ear. My son had complained about an
earache a few months ago, and I put in only 1 drop and his ear drained a puss
like mucous for five days. Colloidal
silver is extremely effective but shouldn’t be used much because constant
regular use can permanently change the skin to a gray blue color.
Garlic
oil in the ear can also help to get rid of ear infections.
A drop
of Basil essential oil on a cotton ball and put in the ear over night will also
clear an ear infection
Flu—Be sure and keep a good diet and get plenty of
rest, but you can also take a hot bath with ginger in it. You may need a lot of ginger or you can use a
couple of drops of essential oil.
Oil of Oregano
is also taken by many people for colds and flu.
This stuff is pretty strong so put just a few drops in milk or juice, or
you can mix it in a little olive oil and rub on the bottom of your feet.
Cayenne
pepper taken the day you begin to feel symptoms can help to stop it before it
starts. If you can’t handle having some
mixed in warm water you can but a bottle of the capsules for cheap and just
take one with each meal to get over your sickness.
Nausea—Ginger is great for nausea whether from
morning sickness or motion sickness. It can be made into an herbal tea, or
there hard ginger candies that are good to suck on. You can also mix a little ginger and baking
soda in water and drink it to settle the stomach
Chew on
some hard cloves. Or have raspberry leaf
herbal tea, or peppermint herbal tea.
Urinary Tract Infection- Often these are caused by an poor pH
balance. A good way to clear one up fast
is to mix a teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of water and drink it. Usually one or two cups of this within a few
hours will clear it up completely.
Yeast Infection—A yeast infection can sometimes be
cleared by drinking water with baking soda in it like UTI’s . If that doesn’t work take fresh crushed
garlic, if you can’t tolerate eating the raw garlic plain, try taking a garlic
supplement. My daughter had a yeast
infection for weeks a couple of years ago.
After going through 3 tubes of prescription cream I finally cut open a
garlic tablet and mixed it in a spoonful of yogurt and fed it to her. We did this a couple of times a day for a few
days, and the stubborn yeast infection went away. I’ve since used garlic more commonly in meals
to prevent the occurrence of future yeast infection.
