I wanted to share some of very useful home remedies for diffrent problems with you all they are very effective and easiy to use.
Anemia
Avoid drinking tea (regular, not herbal varieties) and coffee immediately
after meals, as the tannin present in these interferes in the absorption of
iron from the food.
Drink a cup of herbal tea mixed with 1/4-cup blackstrap molasses each day.
This provides 80% of the iron needed in one day.
Foods high in iron: lean beef, lean pork, skinned poultry, shellfish, fish,liver, organ meats, egg yolks, pinto, kidney, lima, navy, chick peas, black-
eyed peas, lentils, split peas, green peas, spinach, kale, collards, beet
greens, chard, broccoli, raisins, prunes, figs, dates, dried peaches, dried
apricots, nuts, peanut butter, whole grain breads.
Your body absorbs iron from meats easier than fruits and vegetables. To
aid in the absorption of iron from fruits and vegetables, eat them with a
good source of vitamin C.
Cold and flu
Here is a delicious recipe for a cold and flu soup: Sauté 6 crushed cloves
of garlic in 1 tsp. vegetable oil until golden. Pour in a quart of beef or
chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and whisk in 2 egg whites.
Beat together 2 egg yolks and 2 Tbsp. distilled white vinegar; pour this
mixture into the soup. Season with salt and pepper and top with croutons
if desired.
DEPRESSION:
3/4 cup of cooked spinach a day is enough to give dramatic relief from
depression if you are deficient in B vitamins.
DIARRHEA:
Eat boiled sweet potatoes seasoned with salt and pepper before bedtime
to cure chronic diarrhea.
ENERGIZER:
Simmer 1-cup honey and 3-cup water together slowly. Allow 1 cup of the
water to evaporate. Strain off the top surface, and put the remaining liquid
into a stoneware crock or dark bottle. Put a towel over it so it can breathe,yet be free of dirt. Place in a cool place. You can add cinnamon, clove, or
the juice of 2 lemons, if you like.
FATIGUE:
Take a glass of grapefruit and lemon juice in equal parts to dispel fatigue
and general tiredness after a day's work.
HEADACHE:
Eat 10-12 almonds, the equivalent of two aspirins, for a migraine headache.
Almonds are far less likely to upset the stomach.
MORNING SICKNESS:
Mix 1 tsp. each fresh juice of mint and lime, and 1 Tbsp. honey. Take 3
times a day.
I hope it will be benefit for u all.
