Natural Remedies I Use and Love

 

As I have shared in several previous posts, I prefer to treat as much as possible naturally.  Long before "medicines" came to be, plants, minerals and other natural resources were used as medicine.  It's not alternative medicine; it's the original medicine!  Please learn and advocate for yourself and your family.

I am always researching and learning before I use something and would never share anything that would be harmful.  With that said, please do your own research, these are things I have learned about, researched and use, but is not medical advice of any kind.  Even though they are natural, there can be contraindications if you are taking a medication prescribed by your Dr (for example, some may have blood thinning effects (like curcumin) and if you are taking a blood thinner, you wouldn't want to take something natural that would intensify that effect, until you got off of the synthetic.)

Here are a few of my favorite go to natural options:

First is my supplements.  They are good quality, natural supplements (nothing synthetic), that changed my life in so many ways and have overall kept me incredibly healthy for 12 years now.

Oil of Oregano is a natural antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal.  NOTE:  This is NOT an essential oil and is safe to take internally, though it is very strong.  This is what we used (along with our other supplements) in 20/21 when the c0 vid hit our house (I had houseguests and continued to "host" and was over it in 3 days).  You can get it in capsule form as well.

     

Mullein is a "wild" plant that grows in many fields.  It is great for respiratory issues and can help clear the lungs.  This is consumed as a tincture, tea or even smoked.  This can be gathered in the wild (if you do, make sure not to gather on the roadside as it is contaminated with exhaust, weed sprays, road spray, etc.).  You can use the leaves and flowers (the leaves do have tiny hairs, so if you steep the leaves, strain before consuming as those hairs can irritate).

Soursop I have started recently for my cancer journey.  It is a tropical fruit that grows in Hawaii as well as other places (though I have never seen it).  Its leaves are made into a tea or there are tinctures as well.

Black Seed Oil (or Black Cumin Seed Oil) ~ I have heard it said this is good for everything except death.

Castor Oil ~ So many amazing uses and benefits. It is a detoxer (many may think of the old use as a laxative), but will break up "lumps, bumps and adhesions" according to Barbara O'Niell.  Start slow to avoid "herxing" which is detoxing.  Can use with a Castor Oil pack with or without heat, a few drops in your belly button, topically for skin health.  Many say it will help grow eyelashes and even help eye issues when rubbed on eyelids.  Make sure it is Hexane Free and in an amber glass bottle. *DO NOT use if you have active cancer as it will bring blood flow to area and can cause growth or spread*

DMSO Great for pain and more.  This is a new one to me that I am beginning to research.  Here are several articles you can read.  BUT ~ Whatever you use this with, will be driven deeper into your body (for instance, a lotion on your skin), it will also intensify any medications you are on.  This is talked about in the Colloidal Silver group I shared below, several links and articles there.

DMSO Book is loaded with info about its origin, safety, uses and even recipes.

Humic/Fulvic Acid ~ This is loaded with minerals and helps to detox your body.  It is a great electrolyte, loaded with over 70 minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, enzymes and more.  It is Antiviral / Antimicrobial / Heavy Metal Detox / 70+ Essential Minerals every organ needs / Restores the Mitochondria / Anti-Inflammatory / Essential Amino Acids / Immune Booster / Improves Cognitive Function / Powerful Electrolyte / Helps eliminate parasites / NanoTechnology Detoxifier and much more

Epsom Salt ~ I add this with Baking Soda to the bath to help detox and absorb magnesium which we are all deficient in.  I get this at the store (unscented is best).  Safe for the whole family.  Not a bather?  A foot soak is just as effective.

Saline Nasal Spray (or Sinus rinse) ~ I prefer the fine mist spray as I don't feel like I am drowning.  This is my go-to at the first sign of congestion or sinus issue.  This can be found at the link I shared, at any drug store or Costco has a large size 3 pack and is my usual place to grab it.  We also have been using Colloidal Silver alongside this to treat nasal things.

My newest favorite is Colloidal Silver.  This is a natural Antibiotic, Antiviral, Antifungal and more.  Literally good for everything.  Can be ingested, inhaled with a nebulizer or used topically.  I have shared with people and get told "I don't want to turn blue".  I think we all have heard the story of the blue man.  He turned blue because he was brewing his silver with salt (which caused a reaction) and ingesting huge quantities of it.  Used as a medicine it is totally safe for you, all of your family members and even your pets.  NOW I did learn after I started my journey you only need 10ppm (which is the safest).  I started using it in June 24 when I got what appeared to be a bad case (the worst I have ever experienced) of pink eye.  I used 2 drops in my eye for 3 days and it was totally clear.  I then really started doing some research and found this group, full of info and testimonies.  Use the search feature to learn about specific issues and see testimonies.  There are also several articles about silver, its safety and many uses.  I am making my own and have it available for sale because good for so many things!  Send me a message if you are interested in purchasing from me!

I received this book for Christmas "The Forgotten Home Apothecary" and have been really enjoying perusing it.  I have made the Elderberry syrup to help support and boost my immune system and have more to make on my list!

I also refer to this book, "The Prescription for Nutritional Healing"
