Natural Remedies - How to Make Them Work Better, Faster
By Matthew Scott Many people complain natural remedies work too slowly or not very well. While remedies such as herbal remedies and certain home remedies do work well if properly made and taken, a key factor often not considered or known by people taking such remedies is their diet. The typical Western diet consists of far too many processed, packaged, nutritionally-dead foods and drinks which impede digestion, clog up your colon and greatly increase your likelihood of developing the particular problem for which you need a remedy. For natural cures to work quickly and well you must eat plain, healthy, natural foods. Taking a herbal remedy for the common cold, for instance, while continuing to eat junk foods and/or smoke and drink alcohol is pointless. It’s not rocket science - when you’re sick your body needs to re-balance itself. Consuming fresh, natural foods and drinks helps this process. Not only do people who live on a simple, natural diet enjoy better overall health, when they do take natural remedies they respond much faster than people whose systems are blocked up with junk food. Natural remedies work better and faster when you: 1. Stop consuming junk foods, soft drinks and commercialized dairy products. 2. Eat simple, fresh foods in as close to their natural state as possible. 3. Don’t take drugs, smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. 4. Drink pure water and pure, fresh fruit and vegetable juices. 5. Dry-brush your skin daily and twice daily when ill. 6. Get ample, good quality sleep every night. 7. Don’t overwork. 8. Eliminate emotional stress. 9. Exercise regularly, according to your body’s needs. Remember, natural remedies and herbal remedies, etc, are usually slower acting than Western medicines, but they are usually more gentle. Don’t expect them to work well or at all though until you adjust your diet and lifestyle in line with the above general advice.
