Home Remedies

This unit was really fun and interesting because we learn a lot of home remedies for health problems and also we did a role play! Here is some of the remedies that I learned...I hope you use some of them!


Backache:
Lemon is another useful remedy for backache. The juice of one lemon should be mixed with common salt and taken by the patient twice daily. It will give relief.


Insomnia:
Honey is beneficial in the treatment of insomnia. It has a hypnotic action and induces a sound sleep. It should be taken with water, before going to bed, in doses of two teaspoons in a large cup of water. Babies generally fall asleep after taking honey.


Gastritis:
Coconut water is an excellent remedy for gastritis. It gives the stomach the necessary rest and provides vitamins and minerals. The stomach is greatly helped in returning to a normal condition if nothing but coconut water is given during the first twenty-four hours.


Leg Cramps:
Stretch the sore muscle, follow your instinct, your body will automatically guide you in the correct manner. Massage the cramped muscle gently in the natural direction of the muscle. This helps relax the contraction and ease the pain. A hot shower or warm bath is a good way to relax the muscle. Use cold packs on the affected muscle. This relaxes the tensed muscles.
