Healthy Steps: Home Remedies

by Lady Jess

Since so many people are sick right now, here are some home remedies for getting better quick. We have found that it is better for our bodies to fight off illnesses as naturally as possible and many home remedies are made of ingredients you may already have in your kitchen cabinets.

For the flu, the cold, and bronchitis.

-1/2 tsp. Turmeric w/ 1/2 C warm milk 2-3 x's a day on an empty stomach.

-Bath soak in Epsom Salt 2-3 x's a week for 20 mins.

-Breathe steam infused with tea tree oil to clear sinuses and loosen phlegm
from lungs.

-Rub chest w/ olive oil & tea tree mixture or GOOT, you can also make a chest
rub with olive oil and pure eucalyptus or lavender oil.

-Fasting, it purifies the body of toxins.

-Chicken broth with fresh crushed garlic and a sprinkling of Cayenne pepper.

-1 tsp onion juice every morning to help coughing.

-You can use the GOOT oil in ear for ear infections. CAUTION: Pure tea tree
oil added directly to an ear infection will hurt. You must dilute it with olive oil and garlic oil (from fresh crushed garlic).

-Echinacea and Goldenseal complex which is available at most stores that have a pharmacy. This is a natural anti-biotic and is to be taken as directed on the package.

-Local honey: If you are suffering from allergies due to pollen you can get local honey from a Farmer's Market and eat a tablespoon a day. The local honey is made from local trees by local bees and when you digest this your body builds up an immunity to that pollen.

We have become so dependent on the government to fix us with chemical medicines. We need to get back to doing things the more natural way.

I hope that these will be of help to you. They have worked for us.
