Alternative Medicine: Natural Remedies

-


I believe in all things natural in my life, including natural remedies for health issues. For hundreds of years, people have been using natural solutions to relieve ailments of the body with great success. I have listed below a few natural remedies I use to alleviate some common health conditions. If any of these interest you, give it a go!


Neem oil for skin inflammation

Neem oil is created from the seeds of the neem tree and contains anti-inflammatory properties, which thus help with a range of skin irritations. Although it doesn’t smell great, it has been found to be amazing for the prevention and treatment of skin issues. Adding a drop of neem oil to your usual moisturiser could work wonders!

Eyebright tea for eye irritation

Eyebright is a herb that has been used to treat minor eye issues, such as irritation, for centuries. The herb contains several plant compounds that have been found to prevent the release of histamine, thus helping prevent an eye allergy. As well as this, studies have found that the herb helps control cornea inflammation in the eye. To use, just create a pot of eyebright tea and use the liquid to gently wipe your eye.

Manuka honey for sore throat

When I am suffering from a sore throat, a spoon of manuka honey can really help! Unlike traditional honey, manuka honey is full of anti-bacterial properties which can help fight against an infection in the throat. As well as this, manuka has a soothing effect, which helps ease the pain of the sore throat. Manuka honey – effective and delicious!

I hope these remedies help you and let me know of any natural treatments you use!


Jamie.

I feel like this year has flown by, but after reminiscing, I’ve realised that I have done so much and have had many incredible experiences! So here is my 2022 in review! Enjoy! Trips Away I went to Caloundra and Mooloolaba earlier this year for trips away. I spent my days checking out beaches, relaxing, eating delicious food and watching sunsets with good company <3 Blue Hair I dyed my hair for the first time last New Year’s Eve! I’ve kept the tips of my hair blue all year round, just by refreshing the colour every couple of months. I’ve really loved having my hair blue! I think it represents me and my personality perfectly. Hikes and walks I’ve always loved nature and walks, and this year I have continued this passion by trying different trails! I’ve explored Karawatha Park Nature Reserve, Daisy Hill Conservation Park, and Enoggera Reserve, just to name a few! Days at Redcliffe Redcliffe has been such an amazing place to visit on days out! Walking along the pier, gettin...

The Power of Humour

  I believe that humour is a necessary part of my life that I use daily. I respond to humour with laughter, as many of us do. One of the reasons people enjoy humour so much is that it is a wonderful source of entertainment and brings happiness to your life. By using humour, I can be better prepared for when things go wrong. For example, if I am feeling down, I can laugh with my friends, I know that always cheers me up. I recently read an article titled “ Humour, laughter, learning and health! ”. For me, the most exciting part of the article was the interesting points made about trying out humour in the classroom. Research about the uses of humour: This research has led me to believe that humour can be used in many different ways. Without humour the world would be a sad place. One of the most powerful aspects of humour is the way in which it causes people to react. I think that the way we as humans respond to humour unites us. What I mean by this is that we all enjoy...

Relaxing with Reiki

  Relaxing with Reiki Background info Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that transfers energy through the hands of a practitioner to provide healing. It uses energy exchange during the process and promotes stress reduction as it encourages relaxation. In reiki the person receiving the treatment lays on a bed and the healer places their hands on the receiver to their affected areas. Research suggests that reiki treatments are linked with improvements in depression and anxiety. Research has also shown that Reiki can be helpful for improving mood and relieving stress through lowering heart rate and blood pressure, and increasing immune strength. Reiki reduces stress by incorporating music, drums, breathing and training the mind to bring awareness to the body’s wellness. This shifts the body from a fight or flight (stress) response into a more relaxed state. Reiki involves the use of vibrations through the music and drums. Given there is scientific evidence behind the use ...
