Whenever
you have pains or injuries, it is a common thought that the only cure is to go
to the pharmacy and take some drugs. However, there are a lot of treatments
available in our kitchens that work for many common health problems.
Here are
some effective and natural home remedies.
Cinnamon for Diabetes
If
you are suffering from diabetes, cinnamon should be available in your kitchen.
It has been confirmed from the studies that one can decrease blood sugar by
10-29% if he or she uses 1-3 grams of cinnamon every day. Further, it brings
other health benefits by lowering cholesterol, diminishing inflammation and
regulating blood pressure. Adding cinnamon into coffee or tea before brewing
will be better than eating directly, because active ingredients in this spice
can be broken down by saliva. For home remedies, it is suggested to use one
forth or half a teaspoon of cinnamon each time, and do it 2 – 3 times a day.
Vinegar Control Blood Sugar Levels
Vinegar
helps limit carbohydrates absorption, particularly when it is used with high-
glycemic meals. In order to keep blood sugar stable, use 2 tablespoons of
vinegar with little water and stevia or xylitol during or before the meal salad
dressings or other foods can be added also.
V8 for Hypertension
For
patients with hypertension, a great natural home remedy can come from high
intake of potassium taken from fruits and vegetables. But instead of taking at
least 5 servings per day, low-sodium V8 juice can be similarly beneficial.
8-ounce glass of V8 contains 840 mg of potassium and other nutrients and
magnesium to help lower blood pressure. So you just need to drink 6 – 8 ounces
in the morning and evening to get better health.
Reduce High Blood Pressure with
Hibiscus Tea
Containing
several protective polyphenols, hibiscus tea is really helpful in reducing
blood pressure with similar effect as antihypertensive drugs. In a recent
study, it has been found out that those with systolic blood pressure higher
than 129 mmHg who drank 3 cups of hibiscus tea a day in continuous 6 weeks had a
14 mmHg reduction in average in systolic blood pressure.
Ginger for Nausea
For
a natural nausea treatment, ginger is a good try. This spice eases queasiness produced
by everything from stomach flu and seasickness to morning sickness and
chemotherapy. To make ginger tea, you just need to slice a 2-inch piece of
fresh ginger, add to 4 cups of water, boil all and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
Treat Gas by Fennel Seeds
Chewing
fennel seeds after the meal is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment for gas and
indigestion that works out. Or this can be used to make tea by adding and steeping
1–2 teaspoons of these seeds into boiling water for one cup. You can find these seeds in the spice shop or
grocery stores.
