    Hm, my ear still feels weird after peroxide. I would advise caution with that one!

    However, I've still had great success with topical castor oil, colloidal silver, grapefruit seed extract, eucalyptus and so on!

    Turmeric: Ease arthritis
    A heaping helping of curry could relieve your pain. That's because turmeric, a spice used in curry, contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory that works similarly to Cox-2 inhibitors, drugs that reduce the Cox-2 enzyme that causes the pain and swelling of arthritis, says Lee.

    I use tumeric, a caution is it can cause bleeding to those at risk but it works

    Can I put one on here for girly problems fixed? Some guys might appreciate it if their girl is suffering what I did.

    Besides that I use zinc, Vit C in high doses when feeling sick and Vit C in 1000mg per day when not sick. Not a natural one probably but Cold FX at beginning of a cold.
    Lemme see what else,,, turmeric, be ware if you bleed internally or are on Warfarin or anything like it. Slippery elm for sore throat and some stomach issues. A good fish oil if you are under treatment for cancer like radiation, will stop the burns,, or lessen them, they will tell you don't take anything tho because if you live they want the full credit.
    And here is one my mom heard recently and is trying. Eating regular mustard when a back pain starts up, sound fishy but there is supposed to be something in it with the right properties to help.
    K I have a lot more but will have to look at my book of "Things that helped" that I have been writing for myself over the years in hopes I don't forget what worked for different issues I suffered or someone close to me suffered.

    I've found that if I use lemon balm as a headache remedy, it tends to be slow acting. I make it into a tea and to me it tastes awful but it makes the headache go away

    I found something for headache at a natural health store, it's in a little green glass bottle with a tiny roller ball in it, smells like some kind of mint and other stuff. You roll it on your temples and it works fast, leaves a tingle where you put it so I rub it on my neck too and smells nice and relaxing.
    It's called Migrastick made with pure natural essential oils.

    Here are some things we use in our house:

    - raspberry leaf tea for increased breast milk supply

    - fennel tea for gas and constipation (also good for babies with said issues as it passes through the breast milk)

    - honey, lemon and ginger stewed in a glass jar makes a great homemade cough syrup

    - almonds for headache

    - melatonin for sleep (Superhero takes one every night)

    - lavender for relaxation and sleep (we put a few drops into our air purifier every evening and it knocks us out completely)

    - apple cider vinegar for heartburn (though I am unconvinced the pain of taking that evil stuff is any better than the heartburn)

    - apple cider vinegar for conditioner (oh my stars I have had the best results with it!)

    - baking soda for shampoo

    - coconut oil for damn near anything, namely: toothpaste, diaper rash, dry skin, scraped skin, etc.

    - aloe Vera gel as hair gel. Superhero uses this all the time and he looks so hot.

    - tea tree oil for dandruff (and cologne -- Superhero can attest to this)

    Japanese mint oil for foot pain, and a drop in the shoes keeps them smelling nice, my feet never stank when I worked on machines in steal toed work boots and sometimes got asked to do an over time shift or several hours or even a full shift. Tea tree oil in the shoes and on the feet of one who gets athletes foot often from pools and such.

    Oh yes, I give my little SoulBuddy a massage after his baths with yummy coconut oil. As if he didn't already look so delicious, now he smells like coconut too!

    I take both, my Ginseng is the actual root and I make a tea out of it. I try to take them for maintenance on a daily basis.

    If I don't have Ginger around I take those ginger pills made by the Gravol company.
