Construction of a herbal medicine cabinet for the cold and pig rib season

In den Schlagzeilen steht „Schweinegrippe“. Wir hören die Horrorgeschichten über die Risikogruppen, viele Menschen wollen keine Grippeimpfung bekommen oder sie ihren Kindern geben. Was sind unsere Entscheidungen? Niemand hat in dieser hitzigen Debatte viel über Alternativen der Naturmedizin gesprochen. Mein Sohn hat gerade die Schweinegrippe überwunden und ich kann Ihnen sagen, dass es keine einfache Erfahrung war. War er sehr krank? Hatte er Angst und fragte mich, ob er „sterben würde“? Ja. Er hatte leichtes Fieber, das eines Tages anstieg, und er hatte eine leichte Überlastung. Ansonsten schlief er jede Nacht tief und fest und erholte sich innerhalb einer Woche. …

Construction of a herbal medicine cabinet for the cold and pig rib season

In the headlines, "pig rib" is located. We hear the horror stories about the risk groups, many people do not want to get flu shot or give them their children. What are our decisions? In this heated debate, nobody spoke a lot about alternatives from natural medicine. My son has just overcome the swine flu and I can tell you that it was not an easy experience. Was he very sick? Was he afraid and asked me if he "died"? Yes. He had an easy fever that climbed one day, and he had a slight overload. Otherwise he slept deep and firm every night and recovered within a week. While he was sick, Tamiflu was prescribed (the whole family took it). I also treated him before his illness because I knew it would come and I continued to treat him with vegetable remedies during his illness to advance the healing process.

Like many other Americans, I have a chronic state of health (migraines), but I am hypersensitive to medication. Therefore, I do not take prescription medication unless I really need them. In the past 25 years I have created a library about herbs and natural medicine out of necessity. What I have now is a herbal medicine cabinet that I often use to strengthen my immune system. I am not a doctor, but a layperson who has found vegetable remedies that work for me and my family. Here is what I have learned and which products I use for the cold and flu season.

European and German Commission E.
The Europeans are far ahead of herbal treatments in which it is common to use herbs and traditional medicine in an integrated approach to treating diseases. Germany had a vegetable equivalent of the FDA called German Commission E, which prescribed the review of all conventional medicines, medicinal plants and phytomedicine (medicinal products from plants) by scientific committees. Over the course of two decades, scientists, doctors and specialists from their pharmacologic industry have written 1,000 scientific publications. By 1997, the German Commission E had listed over 800 substances (mainly herbs) that recommend the use and dosage for every substance. You can find a large part of the results of Commission E in a book written by an American botanist named James A. Duke, Ph.D., with the title The Green Pharmacy. Duke worked most of his career for the US Department of Agriculture and "Mapped" herbs. He is considered "the world's leading authority for the healing of herbs".

brand quality is important
I have learned from The Green Pharmacy and the many other resources that I have used over the years, including advice from traditional and alternative medical professionals, extensive reading and research on the Internet. First and foremost, brand quality when buying herbs is important. One of the best herbal brands on the market is enzymatic therapy. Most products that produce enzymatic therapy are combined herbal formulas (which combine two or more herbs) for certain foods. My favorite product of enzymatic therapy is called Air Power, an expectorant that contains Guaifenesin and Bockshorn clover. Bockshorn clover is the main component because it reinforces the effect of the Guaifenesin. This product dilutes and loosens the mucus and cleans the airways. It is undoubtedly the best product that I have ever found against bronchitis and to eliminate any kind of breast deflection.

The other brand that I use most frequently is solaray because it is a great, high -quality brand that is inexpensive and yet works very well. I use the Solaray brand for most of my other herbs, including Golden Seal, which is the next staple for every medicine cabinet.

The root of the golden seal is a herb that has been used centuries before the discovery of antibiotics. Many years of clinical studies in Germany have shown that Golden Seal activates special white blood cells (macrophages), which are responsible for the destruction of bacteria, viruses, fungi and tumor cells. With this herb you get a double victory because it combats bacterial infections and at the same time builds up the immune system. If you combine Air Power and Golden Seal Root with Airborne, yes, the same airborne developed by a teacher to strengthen your immunity, you have an arsenal that can help combat respiratory diseases.

antivirus average
I was always told when they have a virus that runs it because they cannot do much. Not true. I found that there are many antiviral herbs that help your body fight viruses by strengthening their immunity. The best non -prescription antivirus that I found is called blockade. It contains Virblock (elderberry), which prevents the penetration of viruses into human cells and prevents the increase of viruses. It starts to work as soon as it hits your tongue in a diamond shape. I healed my older mother last winter from an oncoming train accident of an illness after she refused to leave her cold apartment for three days after an ice storm!

calm a cough
a study -cited research in a few years ago that show that over -the -counter coughing does not cause anything to cough a child. Okay, tell us (mothers) something that we didn't know yet. How many nights did you sit with your sick child while it coughed until it got sick? Here is the solution- frankincense & myrrh cold and flu protection oil. Remember how your mother Vick’s Vapor Rub rubbed on her chest and how miserable you were all night. This product is a friction oil that massage you into your child's feet (you can also use it). It strengthens immunity; It is antibacterial and antiviral and keeps this cough in check all night. Miracles happen.

flu
I have had no flu since 1986. I order a homeopathic flu every year. You can buy them in different shapes, but those I get contains four folded bottles, and they take a one-way piercing bottle every week for four weeks and they are ready. These kits are only available in mid -October because the companies produce the formulas similar to flu vaccine - with tiny traces of viruses so that their body can build up immunity against the virus and ward off it. You can find them under http://www.elixirs.com I am now waiting for mine while I look and quietly watch the whole hysteria around me.

doses
The dosage is particularly important for herbs and here you as a consumer you have to do your homework. Remember, herbs are extremely mild compared to over -the -counter (OTC) or prescription medication. Through many years of research, I found the dosage that works for me - three capsules are three times a day instead of the one to three tablets per day specified on most labels. If you don't take enough, the herb does not work. Ask a doctor and research. For each other means with mixed formulas such as the Air Power, I follow the instructions for labeling, since mixed formulas have a higher effectiveness than individual herbs. The most poisonous herbs are not on the market and have never been to Europe either. If you take several prescription drugs, you have to ask your doctor about possible interactions between herbs and medication.

Are herbs safe?
I am often asked whether herbs are safe. I will be the expert, Dr. James Duke, Ph.D. Talk to this with a direct quote from his book: "In order to benefit from the use of herbs, you need some basic background information ... This does not differ from conventional medicine ... Unless you are absolutely sure of the identity of a herb, do not take it mainly to people who pick herbs in the wild." Prescribed by her doctors are undoubtedly better than vegetable medicines.

Why I use herbs
People often ask me: "How do you know all of this?" I have two answers; The first is that I was always curious and the second is that I have a chronic illness (as I mentioned). I am like a dog with a bone. For years I looked for a solution and learned a lot about everything that has to do with natural medicine. I still have migraines occasionally, but I was able to live a much healthier life with herbs.

and in the event that they did not know, the Americans spent a whopping $ 15 billion for herbs and nutritional supplements in 2007 (the latest statistics). However, this only includes products that are tracked in health food stores if they do not add traditional ways such as grocery stores and drugs, it is estimated that the herb market is growing by a whopping 79.5 percent a year! In this sense, another advice is essential - never buy your herbal product in a grocery or a drugstore - the brand quality is terrible and you will waste your money.
