Mother Nature's Medicines

Do you use natural products (herbs, plants, juices....) to improve your health?

Besides being "adorably delicious" I swear the cinnamon in my morning coffee helps me to keep my sugar within the normal levels.

 

I have heard and read over and over about the benefits of cinnamon but have only used cinnamon on
occasional morning toast. I think I’ll add more regular usage and see if it helps keep my blood sugar
in check.

 

Two of my friends also user cinnamon in their coffee and they are very pleased with the results. Another thing also good "against high sugar" is the chayote......a plant.

 

Silvia, I am so glad you brought up herbal medicines. My brother and my handyman call me a witch doctor. I have been studying natural healing for years. Burdock root has the most bioavailable magnesium you could want. My youngest used it when she had heart palpitations and is never without it now. Also for her cramps.
Although some need magnesium oxide for intestinal issues not for absorption. Most are deficient in the magnesium burdock root provides.
Just about the best remedy for coughs from allergies, asthma... is elcampagne or elcampane. It is a relative of the sunflower and I need it almost every day. Also good for heavey horses. ; )
I used first year teasel root tincture and finally just the root for a case of lymes disease that did not respond to a double course of doxicyclene . My last visit to a doctor.
The more I study the more I appreciate natural remedies.
For this flu I take vitamin d3 or spend time out in the sun. Also zinc with copper.

 

Mary , thank you for the info. a friend of mine will benefit from your research.

Do you use turmeric to shred away all those extra cells psoriasis "places" on our elbows?

 

i take calendula...marigold seed oil

 

Which ones are their benefits?

BTW, for the las 10+ years I use stevia as sweetener.

 

I have not but might try it on hubby. He has always had a bit of psoriasis that seem to bother and embarrass him. Thank you.

 

Do you ingest it for a specific condition?

 

You were ahead of the curve. 10 years ago only artificial sweeteners were in vogue. Right?

 

it regulates my pancreas ...helps in insulin secretion

 

helps my body in insulin production

 

Thanks a lot. Were both recommended by your doc?

 

I believe so......but when living in Argentina (41 years ago) I always used stevia; it grows naturally in the northern region of the country.

 

Turmeric powder is magic about mild psoriasis...and the person needs to keep the "wet bandage" on only few days.
