Drugs and medication comes from simple things inside and around our house. All we have to do is know its uses and know when to use it.
AVV312
We forgot that drug companies use the basic formulation from the basic things we have in our kitchen, in our gardens, the leaves and fruits from the nearby forest and most especially, the roots from ordinary and/or rare plants.
Now we go to the ordinary things that we see in our day to day life. So that the moment we have a headache, we don’t have to run to the nearest doctor or drugstore but to our kitchen or drawer.
MALUNGGAY LEAVES FOR LOW HEMOGLOBIN:
Malunggay leaves or moringa leaves extract makes one red blood cell better. By extracting the natural juices of the leaves and taking two teaspoon of it twice a day for a week or two, there will be no need for a blood transfusion. The leaves residue is best as an antiseptic on skin rashes and bruises if applied and in two days, the wound will dry up and scars will be lesser compared to those who did not undergo such process.
GARLIC FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
In an emergency, a garlic bulb under the tongue will save one’s life. The garlic will help the victim to make the trip from home to hospital. It will make a difference between a fatal attack and not. For ordinary high blood pressure, use of garlic in every meal will help. Always have garlic in every meal and it will lower the blood pressure.
ONION FOR COUGH AND COLD
Boiling two medium size onions for three minutes and drinking it lukewarm will help cough and cold heal faster. If some heal after several weeks and months, this remedy is a sure hit among users and those who have tried.
GUAVA LEAVES AND YOGURT FOR BAD BREATH
There are two reasons for bad breath: first is tooth and gum disorder and the other is intestinal or stomach problem. For mouth problems, boil guava leaves for 10 minutes and gargle it for 5 minutes twice a day to kill germs and bacteria in the mouth. Do this until all the bacteria causing foul odor are gone.
Yogurt on the other hand neutralizes acid that emits foul odor that went up to the esophagus and throat which causes bad breath especially when a person hasn’t had any meal for a long time.
SALT FOR SORE THROAT
Mothers know best. Mother always let us gargle warm water with salt in it when we have a sore throat. Actually, the salt draws out excess fluid in the throat to reduce swelling and pain. But remember, it is just temporary relief and not a medication. Find the reason of the inflammation and have a true medication. Do this temporary procedure every morning when one has an inflamed throat.
BITING A PENCIL TO CURE HEADACHE
When we are in stress, we clench or grind our teeth whether we are awake or asleep. It is a natural body or facial response to stress-related issues consciously or unconsciously. Thus, we strain our muscle that connects the jaw to the temples which trigger the headache brought about by the tension of the bone and muscle.
By placing a pencil between our lower teeth and upper teeth, we relax our jaw muscle which eradicates tension and reduce the pain. But always remember that this procedure is only for tension related pain and not applicable to other cases.
DUCT TAPE TO REMOVE WARTS
Wear duct tape on a daily basis on affected area and by using pumice stone every day for a week will help exfoliate warts or dead skin. This process is so effective without going to a dermatology clinic. It saves money and time. Just cover the affected area and the suffocation of the skin or the warts makes the immune system stimulate on the taped area and eventually attack the virus.
SUGAR FOR FOOD POISONING
Sugar and water is the immediate remedy at hand for any food poisoning whether it is from any spoiled food or chemical. Always remember that nowadays there are several drinks that pretend to be wine and alcoholic beverage but some are chemically formulated and flavored as wine to have an intoxicating effect but to some, the effect are more than intoxication; they suffer from chemical poisoning if taken more than they can absorb. A spoonful of sugar followed by a glass of water will help a poison victim. Then, rush the victim to the nearest hospital for proper medical attention.
These remedy suggestions are best for not so worse scenario. A true medical procedure in a hospital will help the patient to overcome the problem. But in worst scenarios, if there are no immediate ways to visit a hospital, then it’s better to have this than nothing at all.
