(Not medical advice): We just discovered a great article about food cures you can grow at home… reminding you that you can sometimes be self reliant – always a good feeling. These are some of the most popular, best herbs that have been used in home remedies since ancient times.
I am reminded of the “meme” that has been seen flying around the internet lately: “Medicine is not healthcare. Medicine is sickcare. Food is healthcare.”
These herbs not only have culinary uses but have numerous medicinal uses. To make life easier for you I have listed the nine herbs. (We also have fully-detailed pages on a number of these – so if you really want to go deep, follow those links too!) Be aware however that the original source also contains growing tips for some of the herbs, and some quick application tips.
Aloe Vera – burns, sunburn, healing the digestive tract. Not really a culinary herb per se, but the soft gel could be added to smoothies.
Basil – headaches, pain relief.
Lavender – skin conditions, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory.
Lemon Balm – cold sores, insect bites, natural insect repellent.
Peppermint – make tea with fresh peppermint leaves to ease nausea and minor digestive complaints.
Parsley – immune booster, also chew for fresh breath.
Rosemary – mood lifting, cold soothing with cinnamon.
Sage – infuse some sage leaves with boiling water, and when cooled, gargle for sore throat.
Thyme – antioxidant and antiseptic. Do not use if pregnant.
Ok here is the link to the original list (via web archive):

😳 Tinnitus And Brain Health?
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

By Mike Westerdal CPT
Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?
This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)
Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.
If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
Is it...
a) Abs
b) Chest
c) Glutes
d) Hip Flexors

i want more remedies for health, skin, and household
Aloe vera is an amazing miracle working plant. I hurt my leg and it got infected so I went to an infectious disease doctor. He gave me a new product that had just come out. When I got home and read the ingredients, it was aloe vera. Nothing else, just aloe vera. My friends Jack Russell Terrier got attacked by a German Shephard. This resulted in a very large and deep wound. We all though she would loose her leg. We packed it with aloe vera gel and poured wheat grass on it. In ten days it was well.
I read once of Aloe Vera being used as a remedy for cold sores. A workmate used to suffer terribly. She found that if she rubbed aloe vera jel ( from a leaf) on the area as soon as she felt a tingle the cold sore did not eventuate.
Aloe Vera…very good to get rid of sun spots. Just a drop or two daily & within 2-3 weeks, all gone.
My Dad used aloe vera 40yr ago to dissolve warts. He would break a small piece of the leaf & rub it on the wart…probly only 2-3 times/week.
I like it do more reseach, especially in kenya
i would like to recieve more info please
