Herbal Remedies: Mixtures for a Healthy Body

People all around the world are plagued with aliments everyday. Even though they are minor problems they can be annoying and painful. Instead of turning to over the counter medicine and risking side effects and the rare possibility of ingesting too much I am going to give you some home remedies that you an make at a fraction of the cost.

Herbal Remedy for Indigestion:
You can try these types of herbs singly or in combination with each other to suit your taste. Drinking hot teas made of anise, caraway, coriander, dill seeds ,angelica, lemon balm, mint leaves, chamomile, or even linden flowers can take away this common problem. For instance you can chew dill, anise, or fennel seeds then drink some soothing tea with any of the above, listed ingredients.

*But, if your indigestion develops into any vomiting, or abdominal pains, seek your doctor.

Herbal Remedy for Insomnia:
Within an hour before bed, drink a tea made of lemon bam, passion flower, chamomile, elderflower, or even bergamot. Do not use this for long periods of time� For example do not use more than three weeks at an everyday rate. If you do use it for that long of a stretch stop it for one week before resuming.

Herbal Remedy for Menstrual Cramps:
Drink a tea made with raspberry leaves, angelica roots, or blackhawk bark.

Herbal Remedy for Muscular Aches and Pains:
Apply oils or ointment made form bay leaves, horse radish or wintergreen to your skin with a steady and gentle massage.

Herbal Remedy for Nausea:
A tea made of ginger root, basil, cinnamon, peppermint, lemon balm, or fennel seeds can take away this horrible feeling. If however nausea worsens after this home remedy check with your doctor for it may be a sign of something more serious.

Herbal Remedy for Sore Throats:
Make a warm, strong tea using sage, rosemary, and wintergreen.

Herbal Remedy for Headache:
For migraines try a tea with fresh feverfew leaves, and fresh bay leaves *** Pregnant women should not use these herbs in combination***
You can also rub oils made from lavender or peppermint on the temples of your head.

Mixtures for a Healthy Body: A Soothing Bath
If you just want to relax then I suggest a soothing bath with the following herbs: Put 1 cup of fresh or dried herbs into a 6-7 inch lace bag or you can put the herbs in the center of a washcloth and tie off with a rubber band. In the mixture it should include oatmeal, sage, rosemary, chamomile, and lavender. This should be soaking in your bath along with fresh rose petals sprinkled on the top of the water. The heat from the water will draw out all relaxing and medicinal properties of all of these herbs. For full effect shut off all electricity going to that bathroom and light some aromatherapy candles. Let your body fully relax and enjoy the scents of nature as they surround you.
