Natural Herbal Remedies and Their Uses
By Tess Thompson
Considering the increased interest in herbs and herbal remedies http://www.nativeremedies.com/, it is obvious that there is a curiosity to understand the various natural herbs that can be beneficial for specific ailments. Some of the common herbs that can be used for specific mild conditions are mentioned below. The following list, by no means comprehensive, helps in starting the process of understanding how you can use some common herbs for your benefit.
Goldenseal is mainly known for its antibiotic properties. Steep half to one teaspoon of root goldenseal for each cup and leave for ten minutes to gain best effects.
Chamomile can be used for relieving stress, combating infection, quickening the healing processes and stomach problems.
Garlic is a strong antibiotic and antiviral that is good for cardiovascular problems too. It can be eaten raw if you do not mind the taste and smell or as an additive to food. It must be cut or chewed before ingestion to release the effective ingredient known as allicin.
Ginseng improves stamina, stimulates the immune system and protects the liver from toxins. Ginseng is available singly or as a main ingredient in many herbal supplements http://www.nativeremedies.com/.
Ginger prevents internal blood clotting and can also reduce the risk of a heart attack. Two to 3 milligrams of ginger before travel can prevent motion sickness. It can be used as a culinary additive or as tea available in tea bags.
Licorice can be used for relief from ulcers. It also helps in soothing sore throats.
Spearmint and peppermint are good for treating indigestion.

What are muscle cramps?
A muscle cramp is an involuntarily and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax. When we use the muscles that can be controlled voluntarily, such as those of our arms and legs, they alternately contract and relax as we move our limbs. Muscles that support our head, neck, and trunk contract similarly in a synchronized fashion to maintain our posture. A muscle (or even a few fibers of a muscle) that involuntarily (without consciously willing it) contracts is in a “spasm.” If the spasm is forceful and sustained, it becomes a cramp. Muscle cramps often cause a visible or palpable hardening of the involved muscle.

GalleryFibromyalgia and Over the Counter Solutions
Can the OTC medications solve some problems of fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia and Over the Counter Solutions are compatibles, yes…
There are many different medications used to treat fibromyalgia symptoms, including pain medicines, sleeping pills, and antidepressants. Some fibromyalgia medicines help ease pain. Others boost mood and improve sleep. Working with your doctor will help you find the right fibromyalgia medication to add to your treatment regimen. That way, you can manage your symptoms effectively.
Some important questions to consider:
The widespread pain and lack of response to opioids in patients with fibromyalgia (FM) might be partly a result of mistakes in brain signals, according to an article published online November 5 in Arthritis & Rheumatism by Marco L. Loggia, PhD, and colleagues.
“While the neural responses to pain in [FM] have been the object of several investigations, potential dysregulation of the neural mechanisms underlying anticipation of pain and anticipation of pain relief in this chronic pain population has received little attention.”
Dr. Loggia told Medscape Medical News.
“We show that FM patients exhibit reduced brain activity in response to visual cues informing them of impending pain onset (pain anticipation) and pain offset (relief anticipation). This reduced responsiveness was seen in various regions, including regions involved in the processing of rewards/punishment. This is an interesting observation, given that several studies are suggesting a relationship between chronic pain and alterations in reward neurocircuitry.”
Dr. Loggia is instructor in radiology at Harvard Medical School and assistant in neuroscience at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
How do tricyclic antidepressants treat fibromyalgia symptoms?
The tricyclic antidepressants, including Elavil (amitriptyline) and Pamelor (nortriptyline), work by raising the levels of chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.
Tricyclic antidepressants increase levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. People with chronic pain often have decreased levels of […]

Cardiac Diet for Healthy Cholesterol and Weight Loss
Cholesterol, a lipid found in cell membranes of tissues, can be a cause of concern for health conscious people since high levels can cause major health issues. Cholesterol is insoluble in blood and is carried in the circulatory system by lipoproteins. Low density lipoproteins or LDL builds up cholesterol in the arteries. High density lipoproteins or HDL takes cholesterol out of the blood. Abnormally higher levels of LDL and lower levels of functional HDL are strongly associated with cardiovascular disease, the harbinger of myocardial infarction, stroke and peripheral vascular disease.
Most of the cholesterol is synthesized by the liver itself. This proportion of the cholesterol in the body is not affected by the type of food that we eat. However, a substantial quantity of cholesterol is also derived from the food we eat and therefore can be managed with proper diet.
Even though healthy diet choices can keep the arteries free of cholesterol, we pay minimal attention to what eat when we are young. The reality check on cholesterol generally occurs after the age of forty when the harm has already been done. By this age, we are so accustomed to a particular diet that it becomes difficult, if not impossible to change over to a diet that is heart-friendly.
Unlike the so-called healthy weight loss plans, that are inclined towards slimness with no regard to nutritional needs, the cardiac diet is based on sound medical principles. The diet proposes gradual and natural weight loss, with focus on reducing the risk of heart disease or stroke by promoting weight loss. It aims at managing cholesterol levels through dietary modifications and a move towards a more active lifestyle. Though the diet is primarily meant for those who have, unfortunately, experienced cardiac […]
Homeopathic medicines boost the immune system
Homeopathic medicines and Lifestyles.
Changed lifestyles have been instrumental in affecting the immune system in a highly negative way. The immune system is a complex arrangement that involves the liver, spleen, thymus, the lymphatic system and bone marrow, which work in tandem to maintain resistance to disease.
This immunity is partly inherited. It also depends upon the lifestyle that individuals choose to adopt. The hurry with which we want to treat minor ailments is probably the main reason behind frequent attacks of common cold and fu or an increased susceptibility to disease.
Instead of waiting for the body to heal itself or looking for an antibiotic alternative like an herbal antibiotic , the tendency is to rush to conventional antibiotics for quick relief. In most of the cases, immune system health is compromised due to an excessive use of antibiotics.
Moreover, an antibiotic ceases to be effective if it is taken without a proper diagnosis or prescribed without determining the specific bacteria that has caused the disease. Ginger and other dried herbs for immune system steeped in boiling water, for example, will relieve symptoms of a sore throat, common cold while boosting the immune system health.
Homeopathy provides another natural alternative to avoid indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Homeopathy believes that the same substance that causes a disease will cure it in its diluted form. For example, coffee leads to sleeplessness but an extremely diluted remedy prepared from coffee itself will ultimately cure it. Some of the basic principles of homoeopathy include:
* The foremost priority should be to boost the immune system so that the body can heal by itself.
* Symptoms are manifestations of the body’s attempt to treat itself.
* Only natural substances and herbs should be used to prepare a […]

Are there alternatives to traditional muscle relaxants?
Yeah, sure there are.
There are many alternatives, and some natural calls, show better results than traditional pills.
Also are developing some alternative muscle relaxants with new technologies.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently issued a patent to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services involving resiniferatoxin, or RTX, an experimental compound that represents a potential new class of drugs to alleviate the intractable pain that can occur in people with advanced cancer, severe arthritis, and other extremely chronic conditions.
“While RTX remains an investigational drug, the patent licensed to our commercial partner provides further incentive to move the drug through clinical development,” said Mark L. Rohrbaugh, Ph.D., J.D., director of NIH’s Office of Technology Transfer (OTT), which manages patents and licenses to inventions made by NIH and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists. “The patent increases the likelihood that RTX will not end up on a laboratory shelf as a stalled or lost opportunity, but instead will have the potential to improve the lives of people with intractable pain.”
The method patent specifically covers intrathecal administration of RTX, meaning its injection into the spine’s thecal sac. The thecal sac is formed from layers of connective tissue and surrounds the spinal cord. Bundles of peripheral nerve roots feed into the fluid-filled sac, where their incoming sensory signals are routed onward along the spine and to the brain.

How to Manage Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Pain?
First we must know what is fibromyalgia.
What Is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes pain, stiffness, and tenderness of muscles, tendons, and joints. It is also characterized by restless sleep, awakening feeling tired, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, and disturbances in bowel function. The condition is non-life-threatening and does not cause body damage, deformity, or injury to internal body organs. Fibromyalgia is sometimes referred to as fibromyalgia syndrome and abbreviated FMS. Fibromyalgia was formerly called fibrositis.
What Does the Name Fibromyalgia Mean?
The word fibromyalgia comes from the Latin term for fibrous tissue (“fibro”) and the Greek terms for muscle (“myo”) and pain (“algia”).
Is Fibromyalgia a Form of Arthritis?
Fibromyalgia is considered an arthritis-related condition. However, it is not a form of arthritis (a disease of the joints) since it does not cause inflammation in the joints, muscles, or other tissues or damage thembut rather a muscle disorder. But fibromyalgia can (like arthritis) cause significant pain and fatigue, and it can similarly interfere with a person’s ability to carry on daily activities.
Whom Does Fibromyalgia Affect?
Fibromyalgia affects predominantly women (over 80% of those affected are women) between the ages of 35 and 55. Less commonly, fibromyalgia can also affect men, children, and the elderly. It can occur independently or can be associated with another disease, such as systemic lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. The prevalence of fibromyalgia varies in different countries. In Sweden and Britain, 1% of the population is affected by fibromyalgia. In the United States, approximately 4% of the population has fibromyalgia.
What Causes Fibromyalgia?
The cause of fibromyalgia is not known. Those affected experience pain in response to stimuli that are normally […]
