My Alternative Therapies for Cold and Cough

October 14, 2010 By dorischua Leave a Comment

After nursing a sick boy for a few days, I was the next one to fall ill. I believe many moms experience this too. You have a child who is down with fever, flu and cough and you too caught the virus when your child is getting better. I put myself on many alternative therapies and took lots of manuka honey and propolis, drank lots of water and stayed in bed as much as I could.

I was thankful that after three days, the fever and cold left though I’m still working on stopping that irritated cough. Due to my illness, I haven’t been at work neither can I do my chores back home. I got lots of rest and sleep and I can feel that my body is deprived from all a real break. Nursing a sick child can be demanding and stressful and it’s easy to catch on an infection when you are emotionally tired. But I’m glad my son has recovered and he’s back in school. He has also recovered in time for our shopping day this weekend where we need to buy some gifts for friends and choose some Personalized Jewelry for his teachers.

As part of my alternative therapies, the propolis has been a fantastic natural antibiotic and I believe it has helped me in my recovery process. Active manuka honey is also a wonderful nature remedy for boosting the immune system and it contains antibacterial qualities too. If you are suffering from a cold, fever or cough, try out these natural remedies and you will be surprised that you will recover faster too. Do not hesitate to consult a doctor if your symptoms persists which indicates you need further medical assistance.

Alternative Therapies to Healthier Skin

October 6, 2010 By dorischua Leave a Comment

As the saying goes, “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. This saying is somehow true and that’s what we wake every morning to see how we look like in the mirror! As such, the pursuit for alternative therapies for healthier and more youthful skin is on the high since many of these skin treatments aren’t cheap to begin with.

Good skin is also perceived as one of the most obvious signs of physical beauty. Poor skin conditions can be caused by excessive use of antibiotics and alcohol who reduce good bacteria in the digestive tract. Taking care of the skin does not have to be expensive and complicated, simple adjustments in one’s lifestyle may spell the difference between healthy and impaired skin. One simple way of taking care of one’s skin is to keep it clean, especially the hands because the hands can spread germs and bacteria to the skin and other parts of the body. With many beauty products on the shelves these days, there are skincare for every sort of condition – face wrinkle cream, acne face serum, brightening lotion…etc. Individuals with dry and flaky skin can use moisturizing soap, lotion, cream, and other skin care products. It is always good to use gentle products that won’t strip the natural moisture of your skin.

Alternative therapies for the skin include regular skin care and good habits. A good and healthy diet with lots of fresh air, laughter and exercise is beneficial to the skin as well.

Alternative Therapies for Sinusitis

June 11, 2010 By dorischua Leave a Comment

Yesterday, I spent the entire morning in the eye hospital with my mom who has been complaining about her eye discomforts. After consulting with the doctor, he suspected that mom might be suffering from Sjogren Syndrome. After reading about the condition in the internet, I started to search for alternative therapies for her condition.

Like in many auto immune diseases, it wasn’t easy gathering information on this illness. I was also checking on alternative therapies for sinusitis as my nose sensitivities seem to have worsened this week. I found out that sinusitis may begin as a viral infection but within a few days it can develop into a bacterial infection. In many sinusitis patients, there may be one or more preexisting condition that adds to the problem. These include allergies, nasal polyps and nasal septum. These conditions cause the narrowing of the nasal passages and blockage the sinus openings. Sinusitis can also affect the quality of your sleep and in my case, I can sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to clear my nose. As a result of that, I was searching for eye cream for dark circles!

Some people have turned to the healing wonders of natural medicines and alternative therapies. Goldenseal and olive extracts are effective in fighting bacterial and fungal infections. Vitamin C is also well known for its ability to strengthen the immune system and lessen allergic reactions. Zinc also shortens the duration of a cold by killing the cold virus, thus, reducing the risk of sinusitis.
