This is an update to my previous blog post about sore throat home remedies. I feel even more strongly about this one particular home remedy than the others I wrote about before because I've recently in the past few months tried this and it has been like a miracle cure to my sore throat or any mouth or throat problems!<br />
So what is the natural remedy that I speak of so highly? It's coconut oil. Coconut oil is an antimicrobial and it is an amazing oil that can be used to prevent and fight many different ailments.<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DS842HS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00DS842HS&linkCode=as2&tag=howtogetthepe-20&linkId=43E3DVKJOU7G65DP">Quality Coconut Oil</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=howtogetthepe-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00DS842HS" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> contains a high concentration of medium-chain saturated fatty acids like lauric acid. These fight inflammation, are easily digested, and put up a powerful fight against pathogens like bacteria, viruses and fungal infections. In general coconut oil is wonderful for the body, but all of that is for a future post.<br />
Now I want to stress the fact that I've used coconut oil three times for myself and a few times with my kids and it has given me miraculous results. Within one day and two days in my more severe case, my throat problem was completely gone!<br />

</div>
If you want to try this natural remedy you should put about 1 or 2 tablespoons in a small glass of hot water or a cup of warm tea and drink it. I use unrefined coconut oil but others swear that the more palatable refined coconut oil has the same fat make up(which is the good part) as unrefined and doesn't have the strong coconut taste to it.<br />
If you are new to coconut oil or have a sensitive system with a likely hood of allergic reactions to things you should start with a lesser amount and then if needed or tolerated well, slowly add more as desired.<br />
I'm telling you it works! Please leave comments if you've had an experience with coconut oil solving your sore throat problems.<br />
Thanks for reading :)Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11643256249499535584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9121789453034103767.post-8294409843969891382013-05-23T15:40:00.000-07:002013-05-23T15:40:23.125-07:00Sore Throat Home RemediesI know you are here reading to find out what are some remedies for a sore throat but another thing you need to think about is Sore throats are generally caused by viruses such as the common cold or flu, or bacteria such as strep. It could also be from an allergy causing sore throat. The same pollen's and molds that irritate the nose when they are inhaled
also may irritate the throat. Cat and dog dander's and house dust are
common causes of sore throats for people with allergies to them.<br />
<br />
Here are some great ways to treat a sore throat at home-<br />
<br />
*Gargle with turmeric and warm water<br />
*Gargle with a mixture of Listerine and hydrogen peroxide<br />
*Apple Cider Vinegar, you can gargle it, swallow it or spit it out but it's good all around.<br />
*Put dissolvable aspirin in warm water gargle for 30 seconds then swallow it.<br />
*Chew pieces of raw onion to relieve a bad cold or sore throat. Onions can destroy germs in the mouth within minutes.<br />
*A warm cup of herbal tea can offer immediate relief from a sore
throat. Tea contains antioxidants that are thought to
strengthen immunity and ward off infection. For extra benefit add a tsp or two of honey, this will help to coat the throat and offer relief.<br />
*Marshmallows, although there's no hard evidence that it works, sap from the
marshmallow plant has been used for hundreds of years, usually in tea
form, to treat coughs, colds, and sore throats. And while real
marshmallow bears little relation to the puffy campfire treats that took
its name, both may have sore throat-fighting properties.<br />
According to anecdotal reports, modern-day marshmallows can help ease
sore throat pain, possibly because the gelatin coats and soothe<br />
<br />
In about 10% of cases of sore throat in adults antibiotics are needed for the sore throat to go away. This is usually due to a bacterial infection. Of course along with all of these natural cures plenty of fluids and lots of rest is necessary for a full and fast recovery.<br />
If things don't clear up in 7 days see your doctor.<br />

Your nose plugs up and starts dripping, your eyes get watery and itchy, and your lungs burn and wheeze.<br /><br />Allergies come in a variety of forms but most fit into one of three different categories; contact, food, and inhalant allergies. The most common, inhalant allergies, we experience in response to material in the air we breathe. The biggest airborne problems include house dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold.<br /><br />There are things that you can do to help ease the symptoms of allergies. The following tips will put you on a path to easy breathing and dry eyes.<br /><br />Honey, honey, honey has a very good record of curing all types of allergies. Local honey, not store bought, is recommended and works best. One teaspoon a day, everyday will do the trick.<br /><br />Avoid dairy products, foods rich in sugar, and refined foods. <b><br /><br /></b>For sinus allergies, take cayenne pepper and garlic together.<b><br /><br /></b>Take the herbs comfrey and juniper in capsule form.<br /><br />Thyme tea is very good for sinus and cough problems. Dried thyme herbs can be added, in small quanity, to boiling water and add a few drops of honey, drink.<b><br /><br />Change your enviroment:<br /></b>Air-condition your house. Doing this can help with pollen, molds, and dust mites.<br /><br />Install an air cleaner. By this I don't mean the $14.95 air cleaners. I mean the industrial quality modelsthat bolts into the air intake or outlet of your central heating and cooling unit. Of course, I'm not discouraging any type of air cleaner. After all any thing is better than nothing.<b><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span></b>Buy a dehumidifier. Dust mites don't really do well at humidities below about 45%, the dryer the better, generally.<b><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></b>Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11643256249499535584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9121789453034103767.post-39596570187455936942009-07-09T20:21:00.000-07:002009-07-09T21:16:07.505-07:00Home Remedies For InsomniaInsomnia, also known as sleeplessness, is a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">sleep disorder </span>characterized by the inability to fall asleep, inability to remain asleep, waking up too early, and the inability of getting enough sleep. <br /><br />Sleep is a periodic state of rest for the body, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the body and mind. Sleep gives relief for tension and worry. Insomnia deprives a person of adequate rest and very often interferes with daily activities.<br /><br />Everyone has insomnia at some point in their lives but if it persists and does not go away that can mean their is a problem and should be treated by a physician. Women tend to suffer from insomnia more often than men. I sometimes believe this is because of a few things, one being our chemical make up and the way we always are thinking and worrying about things, the kids, the family, money etc. My husband for example can lay down and be asleep in less than 30 seconds. That is unfathimable for me.<br /><br />Here are some known<span style="font-weight: bold;"> remedies for insomnia</span>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stick to a sleeping schedule~ A good insomnia treatment</span> is to try sticking to a fixed sleep schedule. Going to sleep at the same time and waking up at the same time everyday can help with insomnia because your body gets into a routine. I have even noticed myself, that<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>if I get up every morning at the same time for a long time, like when I was in high school, even on the weekends I would wake up right around the same time. That is because our bodies get into a routine and our "natural alarm clock" is activated.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Relax with lavender</span>~ Certain smells have been proven to induce a state of relaxation, which can help some people get the sleep that they need.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Take a warm bath</span>~ An hour or two before bedtime take a warm bath. This helps <span style="font-weight: bold;">overcome the problem of insomnia</span> because of the warming sensation, but timing is crucial with this one. Don't take a bath right before bed because it could be too stimulating and actually keep you awake rather than helping you fall asleep.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Get your exercise</span>~ Exercise during the day and mild exercise at night can help insomnia because it stimulates the elimination of lactic acid from the body. I have even known women who would get up at eleven or twelve o'clock at night, because they couldn't sleep, and would go exercise. Some people find this very helpful in treating insomnia.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Get a heating blanket</span>~ Two factors that induce sleep are, relaxing the muscles and increasing brain temperature, which is exactly what a heating blanket will accomplish. Try to get one with a timer though, and set it to turn off shortly after you fall asleep.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have sex</span>~ Have sex to naturally treat insomnia.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Meditate</span>~ Meditation can do wonders for insomnia. Especially before bed, meditation helps to clear your mind and once again promote relaxation. Try taking a few deep breaths while closing your eyes and clearing your mind of all thoughts.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have a snack</span>~ Having a light snack before bed, with protein and sugar, increases brain neurotransmitters to help you sleep. Cereal and milk or a glass of milk and cookies is perfect. It is also said that a glass of milk helps to fall asleep.<br /><br />One more thing to remember while trying to naturally treat your insomnia, is to not push it, or pressure yourself. This can be the worst mistake of all. Often times we think that we need a certain amount of sleep or we think that we are not going to be able to fall asleep, far before it is even time to go to sleep.<br /><br />This apprehension can cause anxiety like feelings. I have experienced this for myself first hand. Having a young child to care for and knowing that I have to go to sleep the same time she does (at nap time) and be up when she gets up is terrible. Every time I put pressure on myself to fall asleep, even if I'm extremely tired, I can't ever fall asleep. So try not to think or worry about going to sleep. I know, I know, easier said than done, right? Just try! I hope that some of these home remedies will help treat your insomnia.Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11643256249499535584noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9121789453034103767.post-68134317634475233672009-07-07T18:52:00.001-07:002009-07-07T20:34:01.915-07:00Home Remedies For Carpal TunnelCarpal tunnel, which is also called CTS,is characterized by symptoms that may include numbness, tingling, burning, and aching in the thumb, index and middle fingers. In severe cases, pain may shoot from the wrist up the forearm and possibly into the shoulder, the numbness in the fingers and thumb may become constant, and the thumb muscles may waste away, causing a loss of grip strength and coordination. <br /><br /><br />To understand carpal tunnel it is best to understand how the wrist works. The carpal tunnel is actually a narrow passageway that runs through the wrist. It is only about the size of a quarter but it is packed with nerves, blood vessels, and nine different tendons that control finger movement. Certain repetitive motions and or medical conditions, such as pregnancy, can cause the tendons to swell, squishing the median nerve and decreasing blood flow.<br /><br />The main and most important remedy for carpal tunnel is actually prevention.Making changes before carpal tunnel becomes more serious of a problem. If you already experience minor tingling, burning or numbness, that could be carpal tunnel syndrom, you may be able to prevent more serious and unreversible damage and even promote healing by making a few changes in your lifestyle. However if you wait until it gets to a more serious stage you could loose all muscle function and need surgery, so it is best to treat symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrom as soon as it is suspected.<br /><br />On this page I have included some well known home remedies and home excersizes that can significantly help your carpal tunnel syndrom. However, if symptoms are severe or if they do not subside after two weeks of self care, or if they are accompanied by fever, swelling,rash, or any loss of function, contact your docter.<br /><br />Remedy #1 Keep your wrists flat at night while sleeping. Carpal tunnel symptoms may occur more and worse at night and even wake you from sleep. This can be because your sleeping with wrists curled or crunched up in akward positions. When you lay down at night, try to lay your wrists flat. You can even wear a wrist splint, prescribed by your docter.<br /><br />Remedy #2 Keep your wrists as comfortable as possible while working, straight, not bent or hunched over. Be constantly aware of your carpal tunnel syndrom, even if symptoms are not showing at the moment, what you do now will affect how bad your symptoms are later.<br /><br /><br />Remedy #3 Get the right grip on it. Most of us have a tendency to grip with only the thumb, index, and middle fingers, which can increase pressure on the wrist and cause irritation of the corresponding tendons. If you have to grip or twist something, such as the lid of a jar, use your palm or your whole hand to distribute the load.<br /><br /><br />Remedy #4 Alternate hands. Give your dominant hand a break whenever possible. Try using your other hand to do some tasks.<br /><br /><br />Remedy #5 Keep certain tools to a minimum. People who use vibrating tools, such as sanders, jackhammers, chisels, chain saws, grinders, riveters, and drills for extended periods appear to be at increased risk of developing wrist problems. If you are one of these folks, take frequent breaks and, when possible, operate the tool at the speed that causes the least vibration.<br /><br /><br />Remedy #6 Ice it. If you have CTS symptoms, reduce swelling and inflammation by placing an ice pack wrapped in a thin cloth on the wrist and forearm for 5 to 15 minutes two or three times a day. At the same time, however, be sure to take steps to eliminate the cause of the trauma to your wrist.<br /><br /><br />Remedy #7 Pitch flimsy splints. Some splints, from the pharmacy or local department store, can actually make symptoms worse. Opting for a specially prescribed splint from your doctor is the best option.<br /><br /><br />Remedy #8 Keep carpal tunnel syndrome in check with exercises. Excercizing the trouble area can loosen tendons,strengthen muscles, and promote healthy blood flow. If excersize makes your symptoms worse, you should stop that particular excersize and try a different one.<br /><br />Here is a list of doctor recomended excersizes to help your carpal tunnel syndrom.<br /><br />Wrist Circles: With your palms down and your hands out, rotate both wrists five times in each direction.<br /><br />Thumb Stretch: Hold out your right hand, and grasp your right thumb with your left hand. Pull the thumb out and back until you feel a gentle stretch. Hold for five to ten seconds, and release. Repeat three to five times on each thumb.<br /><br />Five-Finger Stretch: Spread the fingers of both hands far apart and hold for five to ten seconds. Repeat three to five times.<br /><br />Finger-Thumb Squeeze: Squeeze a small rubber ball tightly in one hand five to ten times. Afterward, stretch the fingers. Repeat with the other hand. (If you have high blood pressure, consult your doctor before regularly engaging in this exercise.)Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11643256249499535584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9121789453034103767.post-85503348549757366832009-07-03T20:47:00.000-07:002009-07-29T20:59:17.323-07:00Psoriasis Home Remedies<span class="articleBody" style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Psoriasis is a disease in which the skin cells run amok. Normally, skin renews itself in about 30 days—that's the time it takes for a new skin cell to work its way from the innermost layer of skin to the surface. In psoriasis, that cell reaches the top in just 3 days. The result is raised areas of skin called plaques, which are red and often itchy. After the cells reach the surface, they die like normal cells, but there are so many of them the raised patches turn white with dead cells flaking off.<br /><br />Psoriasis usually goes through cycles. Flare-ups most often occur during winter months. Psoriasis can disappear for months or even years, it can also improve or worsen with age. Pretty much, no one can say what will happen with your psoriasis, which is what makes it so frustrating.<br /><br />Without a cause, there is no cure. But there are many things you can do to help keep your psoriasis to a minimum. Keep in mind, however, that what works for someone else might not work for you. You have to experiment with psoriasis remedies and decide what works best for you. Here are some home remedies for psoriasis you can try.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">My #1 home remedy cure for psoriasis is turmeric</span>(stuff in curry spice). It is an anti-inflammatory. It is also known to work even better mixed with green tea.<br />Drinking curry spice is not fun, but it works miracles (for a whole host of inflammatory problems including cancer and Alzheimer's).<br /><br />If you really don't want to drink curry spice then you can also buy Turmeric from health food stores in a pill form or at your local grocery store in bags full (to save money) and take 3-6 pills 500mg daily. Or mix with tea or put in food.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sweat</span>-Eczema and psoriasis can be significantly reduced with exercise and diet. Work out in the sun and get a sweat going. The sweat will really help reduce the condition naturally and safely.<br /><br /></span></span></span><span class="articleBody" style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cut the sugar</span>-Eczema been linked to Candida fungus. When you eat sugars, it feeds the fungus which causes your body to 'overreact' or become inflamed. Your immune system attacks fungus around your entire body including skin.<br />Avoid sweets, gluten, dairy or foods with fungus to balance out your intestinal flora. Find out slowly how much sweets, etc you can safely eat without showing symptoms.</span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span class="articleBody"><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" ><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;" ><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Epsom salts- </span><span style="font-size:130%;">Add a handful of these to your bath to help keep the swelling down and heal your psoriasis.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />Mineral oil- </span><span style="font-size:130%;">This is another proven skin soother. Add some mineral oil to your bath and soak your aching skin.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Olive oil- </span><span style="font-size:130%;">Mix 2 teaspoons of olive oil with a large glass of milk and once again adding this to your bath water. Or if you have psoriasis on your scalp, massage warm olive oil on your scaly patches. It will help soften the dead skin and make it easier to remove.<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />Plastic wrap- </span><span style="font-size:130%;">After you cover your patches with moisturizer or prescribed medication, wrap them in plastic wrap to help hold the moisture in. Change the wrapping often.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Vegetable oil- </span><span style="font-size:130%;">Add a cupful of vegetable oil to your bath water to ease psoriasis.<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />Apply aloe- </span><span style="font-size:130%;">The gel from the aloe vera plant has been known for it's skin soothing properties and for helping the skin heal from wounds or burns. If you want to try aloe you can buy the plant in itself and break open the leaves, and smear the gel over your plaques. For larger areas or a more portable balm, you can purchase a bottle of pure aloe vera gel at many pharmacies or health food stores.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /><br /></span><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span></span>Jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11643256249499535584noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9121789453034103767.post-28021972934731577252009-07-02T20:18:00.000-07:002009-07-02T23:33:41.708-07:00Arthritis Home RemediesArthritis is a very agonizing and unfortunately, very common disease. It is said that one in seven people have arthritis and a new case is diagnosed every 33 seconds.<br /><br />Although there are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis, most fall into two general categories. Inflammatory arthritis(or rheumatoid arthritis) and noninflammatory arthritis (or osteoarthritis).<br /><br />Even though arthritis is potentially crippling, there are things you can do to help control it. Here are some recommendations-<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Eat your veggies</span></span>- Researchers discovered that people with rheumatoid arthritis who began a vegetarian diet saw dramatic improvement in their conditions within one month after cutting out meat,dairy products,sugar and foods with gluten, such as wheat and bread.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Eat your fish</span></span>- Salmon, sardines and herring. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are shown to have a minor effect on reducing the inflammatory effects of arthritis.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Use a dehumidifier</span></span>- If the humidity is kept constant in your house, it can help calm arthritis pain brought on by weather changes.When rain is on the way, the sudden increase in humidity and decrease in air pressure can effect blood flow to joints, which become increasingly stiff until the storm starts.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stay active</span></span>- One of the most important things you can do for osteoarthritis is excersize as much as possible. Often you'll realize the better your physical condition, the less arthritis pain you'll have.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Relaxation</span></span>- When your tensed up, you hurt more. Whatever relaxes you, music, breathing or stretching. The main thing is to excersize a regular relaxation period and use these methods when pain acts up.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Take a calcium supplement</span></span>-2000 mg a day of calcium supplements are said to alleviate the pain of arthritis.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gin soaked raisins</span></span>- You must use white raisins. You put the raisins in a shallow pan, cover with gin and let set until the gin is gone. Then you eat 9 raisins a day.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Potato water</span></span>- Soak sliced potatoes in water overnight and drink the juice.<br /><br />I hope that some of these home remedies help to reduce some of your arthritis symptoms.

There are over half a dozen types of acne, the most common being blackheads. The areas chiefly affected are the forehead, temples, cheeks, chin, chest and back. In rare cases, almost the entire body may be covered with acne accompanied by extensive scarring.</span><h3><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Having the wrong eating habits are often times the root cause of most acne.</span> </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Irregular hours of eating, excessive starch consumption, too much of sugar, fried and fatty foods are also common causes of acne. Chronic constipation is another <span style="font-weight: bold;">cause of acne</span>. If your bowels are not moving and your body is not eliminating waste properly, the blood stream becomes full of toxins which comes out your <span style="font-weight: bold;">skin</span>, resulting in acne.</span><br /></span></h3><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br />Here are a few effective home remedies for curing acne</span>:<br /><h3><br /></h3><h3>Acne Vitamin Treatment</h3> <p>Two vitamins, niacin and vitamin A have been used successfully to<span style="font-weight: bold;"> treat acne</span>. Vitamin therapy should comprise the intake of 100 mg niacin, three times daily, and 50,000 international units of vitamin A, three times daily. Vitamin E, 400 mg, should be taken once daily. Continue this therapy for a month.</p> <h3><br /></h3><h3>Zinc Treatment for Acne</h3> <p>Zinc is another effective remedy in the area of nutrition that seems to offer new promise of help for acne. It has shown dramatic results in some cases. Take zinc in therapeutic doses of 50 mg three times a day. Zinc is available in tablet and in capsule form.<br /></p> <h3><br /></h3><h3>Orange Peel Remedy for Acne</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Homemade Acne Treatment</span> with orange peel has been found very effective. Pound the orange peel with water on a piece stone and apply on acne affected areas.</p> <h3><br /></h3><h3>Lemon Cure for Acne</h3> <p>A simple<span style="font-weight: bold;"> acne remedy</span>: Apply lemon juice regularly to reduce pimples and acne.

Rub with raw garlic several times a day. Garlic is known to cure the toughest of <span style="font-weight: bold;">acne problems</span>. The external use of garlic helps to clear the skin of spots, pimples and boils. To cure acne further, eat three seeds of raw garlic once daily for a month. This purifies the blood stream and ensures basic cleansing of blood & keeps acne away.</p> <h3><br /></h3><h3>Coriander and Mint Juice Therapy for Acne</h3> <p>A teaspoon of coriander juice, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder, is another effective<span style="font-weight: bold;"> home remedy for pimples</span> and blackheads.

Mostly first time drinkers or occasional drinkers face<span style="font-weight: bold;"> hangover symptoms</span> more than others who drink more often. Drinking too much or too fast is the primary <span style="font-weight: bold;">cause of a hangover</span>.<br /><br />Everyone who has ever experienced a hangover from too much alcohol knows that they are no fun, to say the least. I have compiled some well known<span style="font-weight: bold;"> home remedies</span> to help <span style="font-weight: bold;">cure a hangover</span>. Most of these home remedies are also <span style="font-weight: bold;">natural cures</span>. I opt for the natural cure before any other method.<br /><br />So let's get right into it:<br /><br />One of the best natural cures for a hangover is to increase your water intake, both the night before and the next day when you have the <span style="font-weight: bold;">symptoms of a hangover</span>. Have you ever noticed that after you drink a lot of alcohol you are really thirsty? You might even wake during the night from being so thirsty and dehydrated. Alcohol dehydrates your body and our body is made up of mostly water this can cause some<span style="font-weight: bold;"> hangover symptoms</span>.Higher levels of water counter effects the alcohol levels in the body thus curing hangover.<br /><br /><br />Another really great cure for a hangover would be to increase the intake of Vitamin C. Consume fresh citrus fruit juice in large amounts in the morning to cure hangover.<br /><br />Lime juice is also beneficial in treating hangover.In 8 ounces of water, add 2 tsp of lime juice and 1 tsp of sugar. Drink this mixture slowly sip by sip. It will help to relieve a a person from a hangover.<br /><br />Another<span style="font-weight: bold;"> natural home remedy</span> would be to consume about 1 tablespoon of honey<br />because honey has high levels of fructose it would be valuable in curing a hangover.<br /><br />Something that would help to detoxify the body would be to take a hot bath. Try adding some <span style="font-weight: bold;">aromatherapy</span> bubble bath or candles around the bathtub to help with relaxation.<br /><br />My final suggestion would be to eat before, during and after drinking or at least two out of the three. Food will help absorb the alcohol.<br /><br />Always remember to drink safely and never drive or get in a car with someone after they or you have been drinking. I hope my suggestions help.

Drink every morning on an empty stomach, warm water mixed with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and half a lemon juice<br /><br />2. Blanch a teaspoon of thyme in a cup of warm water, add honey, and wait for 3 minutes then drink<br /><br />3. Saturate plums (or dates) with warm water before you go to bed; drink the water in the morning and eat the plums if you want to<br /><br />4. Take 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar every morning (on an empty stomach) with a glass of water.<br /><br />5. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of Epsom salt to 1/2 a glass of water and drink right away (bitter but amazing)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. Drink 2 cups of warm water first thing every morning on an empty stomach. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> 7.Mix dried figs with plum's concentration, add half a teaspoon of paraffin oil, 1 cup of borsch, honey and lemon and drink.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8.Swallow 2 tablespoons of olive oil on an empty stomach every morning.</span><br /><br /><br />Constipation has everything to do with your diet. In many cases you can cure your constipation completely just by changing your diet. Sometimes that's not always easy to do, but very effective. If you don't like vegetables very much try a juice that contains vegetables mixed with fruit so you don't taste it as much. Also, supplements can help if you don't have the best diet. I recommend powdered mixes that you drink rather than a pill.<br /><br />Fiber is excellent to releive constipation permanantly. Again, use the powdered mixes up to 4 times daily( read packaging details). This was what I personally used to relieve my problems. I currently drink atleast one cup of juice mixed with fiber every day. Specifically psyllium husk fiber worked the best for me.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);font-size:130%;" >Drink plenty of water everyday, 2 liters atleast</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >Other foods to eat are:</span><br /><br />Eat alot of dark green vegetables.<br />Plums and figs<br />Cooked red beets<br />Alot of bran and oatmeal<br />Honey everyday<br />1 banana everyday<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>Eat apples<br />Drink carrot juice<br />Eat 1/2 a cup of sunflower seeds every day<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>Eat potatoes daily to help with constipationJackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11643256249499535584noreply@blogger.com0
