Herbal Remedies For Poor Memory


If we don’t lead a healthy lifestyle than as we get older our brains can get weaker due to insufficient oxygen supply because of unhealthy blood vessels. Also our brain is like a muscle and needs exercise in order to stay strong.
Herbs that can help to improve memory mainly do so by improving blood flow to the brain. Other herbs help improve the brains abilities by providing nutrients that are essential for the cells of the nervous system.
Herbs that can help to improve memory include ginkgo, rosemary, gotu kola, and wild oats.
Herbal formula for poor memory
Simmer one teaspoon of ginseng root in four cups of water for twenty minutes. Add one teaspoon of each ginkgo, gotu kola, wild oats and nettle leaf and let steep for twenty minutes. Drink one cup of the tea three times a day.
If you prefer add one teaspoon of each tincture to one cup of water and drink one half cup twice a day.

Herbal Remedies For Morning Sickness


Morning sickness is usually only during the first three months of pregnancy but I have known women that have suffered bad morning sickness during their entire pregnancy.
In short, use ginger to help with the nausea of morning sickness.
There are allot of ginger capsules that are effective. The best thing is to use fresh ginger and make good strong tea.
There are those of the opinion that morning sickness is a way for the body to cleans itself in order to protect the fetus. This may be true because women who cleans before becoming pregnant report experiencing less morning sickness.
Besides for ginger other herbs that can help with nausea are lavender, peach leaf, wild yam root, and peppermint. Some herbalists don't recommend using mint during pregnancy but I think that drank as a tea even once a day is not a problem at all.

Herbal Remedies For Nausea


If you feel like you are about to throw up, you have nausea. Now this can be from a number of causes. Usually eating bad foods or eating too much are the culprit but also infection and various metabolic disorders can be the cause. If you are experiencing nausea for a extended period you should see a doctor.
Drinking teas from herbs such as ginger, mints, lavender, wild yam and cinnamon can be very helpful.
Herbal formula for nausea
Take one capsule of each cinnamon, ginger, cayenne and goldenseal. If you can buy Chinese medicine “Curing Pills” they are a prefect fix for nausea also.
If you suffer from nausea and weak digestion giving yourself a abdominal massage daily can be very helpful.

Herbal Remedies For Hangover


When you drink too much alcoholic beverages your body produces a lot of chemical by-products in addition to the alcohol which effect the entire body.
The most important thing to do when suffering through the aftermath of a long night out on the town is to make sure you drink lots of water.
Help your body cleanse from all that booze with detoxifying herbs like dandelion leaf and root, yellow dock root, chicory root and gentian root. If you are suffering from heart burn you can drink meadowsweet tea to help.
When drinking take milk thistle regularly.
Use ginseng root to regulate and balance your digestion and energy.
Herbal formula for hangover
Simmer one tablespoon of dandelion root and ginger root in three cups of water for twenty minutes and then add one tablespoon of dandelion leaf and meadowsweet herb and let steep for fifteen minutes. Let the tea cool and drink three cups a day.

Herbal Remedies For Migraines


Migraines are something that I know allot about. Fortunately I don't suffer from migraines but unfortunately my wife does.
From my experience with treating my wife's migraines there is allot that can be done using herbs and natural medicine to treat migraines.
But there is saying that comes from Chinese medicine that goes as follows.
“treating disease once you are sick is like digging for water once you are thirsty”
This is especially true when treating migraines. I can’t think of any herbal ore natural cure that can treat the symptoms of a debilitating migraine once it's in full throttle. Truth be told I don’t believe there is anything in conventional medicine that can do that.
What I would suggest is to take some valerian root and use warm compresses with peppermint oil on the head.
What can be done is to treat migraines before you are having one.
Herbs like feverfew, skullcap, ginkgo and ginger can help improve blood flow to the brain and ease or even prevent migraines.
Allot of the time with woman migraines are more frequent during times of hormonal imbalance Like menses and should in that case be treated together.
Herbal formula for migraines
Simmer one teaspoon of ginger in four cups of water for twenty. Then add one teaspoon of each feverfew, periwinkle, and skullcap and let steep for twenty minutes.
Drink one cup of the tea three times a day.
This needs to be done on a consistent bases for a few months before you start to see results. If the teas are hard for you to stick with buy feverfew capsules and take them as directed.
Also I have found that taking a multivitamin with a high concentration of B-complex vitamins can be helpful to reduce migraines.

Herbal Remedies For Motion Sickness


Now this is something that I have always suffered from. For some reason I am slightly embarrassed by the fact that I still get nausea in the car. The funny thing is that if I am driving then everything is fine. It's only when I am the passenger.
Years ago when I first started learning to use herbs I started to eat ginger candy to help when I had to take busses and it really helps.
Another great option is to get some real ginger ale from a health food store and drink or during the drive. Also you can take ginger capsules before and during the drive.

Healthy Habits For Busy People

​Healthy habits for busy people
Even the most busy of us can find some simple habits that can increase our over health and wellness.
By incorporating just a few new healthy habits into our daily routine we can greatly increase our energy, productivity and happiness.
Here are just a few of the best healthy habits that I believe anyone can and should start with.
Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
Drink more water
Get more exercise
Start taking a multivitamin or super food supplement
Take a herbal tonic 
Start doing deep breathing exercises every day
Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
This is so important that it is the number one healthy habit.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins and minerals.
Fresh fruits and vegetables have phytochemicals that help the body to fight off diseases and cancer, keep our cells safe from free radicals, and have numerous other health benefits.
Fresh fruits and vegetables contain high amounts of water in its purist and most absorbable form.
Drink more water
The recommended minimum amount of water that you should be drinking every day is eight cups of water.
The reason I mentioned the word water twice in this last sentence is to stress the point that when I say “water” I mean water and not any other form of drink.
Eight cups of water means 2,000 ml of water.
I have treated so many people that were suffering from nothing more than a case of mild chronic dehydration.
This is a very serious issue because it creates stress on the kidneys that can be very damaging.  
Water is needed for the body to carry out all the chemical reactions that contribute to the sustaining of life.
Get more exercise
Exercise is important in the maintenance of overall health in the entire body.
Exercise is important for mental health as well as the physical health of the body.
When we more our body and bring up our heart rate we help the whole system to more efficiently distribute all the nutrients to the furthest reaches of the body.    
Also when we increase the blood flow in the body we also speed up the disposal of waste materials that need to be transported through the blood.
Oh and of course it will help you look better when you are at the beach.
Start taking a multi vitamin or super food supplement
For anyone who is working hard and is under stress I recommend taking a multi vitamin with a high concentration of b-complex vitamins. Even if you eat a really healthy diet you can’t be too sure in today’s age when a lot of our produce is grown in mineral depleted soil and may not contain the amount of vitamins and minerals that it should.
Also because of high stress levels and exposure to high levels of toxic chemicals its important to have those extra anti-oxidants like vitamin C and E to help protect the cells of the body.
If you want to go the even more natural route and get a supper food supplement, such as wheat grass, kelp, barley grass or any other green drink that has h high amount of anti-oxidants and b-complex more power to you.
b-complex vitamins are so important because they are essential for the production of energy at the cellular level.
Take an herbal tonic
Herbal tonics are herbs that can be taken daily for many months at a time.
Tonic herbs support and nourish the body’s cells, organs and tissues.
One of my favorite herbal tonics is ginger root. Beside for tasting great it’s also strengthens digestion and circulation.
Deep breathing exercises
Deep breathing is a great way to oxidize your blood for added energy and help disperse toxins from the body. Also deep breathing exercises help to cleanse the lymphatic system.
No matter how busy you think you are you need to put the time and effort into maintaining your health because if you are not healthy and strong you can’t be productive at your full potential.
