Home Remedies for you and your family

Some Effective Home Remedies

Ever try home remedies? Maybe you think that only things your doctor prescribes can help take care of your problems. Actually there are many diseases that can be cured by home remedies more effectively and safely than using modern medicines. Perhaps your grandmother really was right when she gave you some of those crazy treatments as a kid. We are learning more remedies every day that were once considered brilliant, then foolish, and now the doctors once again marvel at the brilliance of these treatments.
One example of a home remedy that is more effective than medications is a treatment for allergies. Many people will add five drop of castor oil in a little juice or water in the mornings on an empty stomach. This remedy helps allergies in the intestinal tract, skin, and nasal passages.

Another great example is chicken pox. There are dozens of very effective home remedies for chicken pox. For instance, an oatmeal bath is a popular remedy to help relieve the itching caused by chicken pox. All you have to do is cook two cups of oatmeal in two liters of water. You cook this for fifteen minutes before putting it in a thin cotton bag and dropping it into warm bath water. Swish it around until the water becomes smoky. Leave in the bag, making sure there are no holes in it, and then let your child play. The itching will be relieved for a time.

Our final wonderful example of home remedies at work is using cinnamon to treat your sore throat. Most of us probably have a sore throat every winter, but you can relieve the pain by adding one teaspoon of coarsely powdered cinnamon and a pinch of pepper powder to a glass of water; then, boil the water and drink up.
You can also use two teaspoons of honey or add two or three drops of cinnamon oil to the honey.
But remember that with all self-treatments you should know their limits! Be sure to consult your doctor if symptoms persist.

There are also many great home treatments for Candida. Garlic capsules are one of the most popular treatments for Candida sufferers. Garlic has antibacterial and antifungal properties, and can help to prevent yeast overgrowth. You can take garlic pills by mouth and they will help.

Yeast infections also have many effective home remedies including using garlic cloves. If you insert a peeled garlic clove into the vagina it can help kill off the bacteria. However, be sure you don?t insert it too far as it may take all day to work out. You can also put plain yogurt without any added sugar onto a tampon and insert it into the vagina. You may also want to wear panty liners all the time in order to keep moisture away from your body.
These remedies may sound unusual or disturbing, but they actually work better than most popular medications. Most of the medicines on the market have negative side effects that can affect your health on other levels. Try these home remedies and decide which work best for your specific needs.

Take warm sitz baths or wash the area with warm water 3 or 4 times a day.
In between sitz baths, keep the sores clean and dry.
Using a hair dryer to dry off the sores may be more comfortable than using a towel.
Wear cotton underpants, which absorb moisture better than those made from synthetic material.
Take paracetamol for pain and reduce any fever you may have.
You can apply ice on the sores every ten minutes to the areas affected to restrict the movements of the virus from the nerve cells to the skin.

Natural Antibiotics - Probiotics - Home Remedies Yeast Infection

Home Remedies Yeast Infection

Natural Antibiotics & Probiotics

Using natural antibiotics and probiotics you can avoid the dangers of excessive antibiotic prescriptions that has become so common in the U.S.
Excessive use of antibiotic has resulted in the breeding of powerful antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains that are nearly imposible to treat. Read more to learn about the problem and what you can do to protect yourself and your family.

When you bring your child to the doctor for a cold, sore throat, or flu, do you automatically expect a prescription for antibiotics? Many of us do. And we?re often surprised, maybe even upset, if we leave the doctor's office empty-handed. But your child's doctor is probably doing you and your child a favor by not quickly prescribing antibiotics.

Taking antibiotics for colds and other viral illnesses not only does not really help, but it also has a dangerous effect: over time. This can actually help create stronger strains of germs that are much more difficult to treat. This is known as bacterial resistance. When a child takes antibiotics too often the "good" bacteria that normally live in (and helps) the body are unintentionally destroyed along with the "bad." The resistant bacteria may survive and grow rapidly. This means that the same antibiotics may not work the next time the child is actually sick with a bacterial infection.

This has become a serious problem, especially in the U.S. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls it "one of the world's most pressing public health problems." Bacteria that were once treatable using antibiotics have become more and more resistant. Among bacteria that are becoming more difficult to treat are those that cause pneumonia, urinary infections, ear infections, skin infections, and meningitis.
First, stop the overuse problem. When you visit your doctor mention that you?re concerned about antibiotic overuse. If your doctor wants to prescribe an antibiotic for you or your child ask them how necessary it is. Ask if your condition one that will clear up on its own without the use of antibiotics.

Second, find natural alternatives to antibiotics, especially for minor infections. If your condition is serious your doctor will let you know. But if not, try with one of the alternative listed below.

Third, if you must take an antibiotic, take a probiotic supplement for 2-4 weeks afterwards. Available at your natural food store or on-line, probiotic products are effective in replenishing your system with ?friendly? bacteria that may have been destroyed as a side of taking antibiotics.

Garlic has been shown to contain elements that destroy both bacteria and yeast. It is available in many forms.

Grapefruit seed extract is a powerful all-around antimicrobial product and is an excellent disinfectant. Grapefruit seed extract has a variety of uses and comes in a liquid, capsules and tablets.

Tea tree oil is a natural antibiotic. Derived from the leaves of the native Australian Melaleuca alternifolia tree, this oil contains antiseptic elements that act as a skin disinfectant.. It can be beneficial in treating yeast infections, acne, athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, fungal infections of the toenail or fingernails, and more.

Colloidal silver has been successfully used for over a century as a powerful antibiotic and is known to kill many disease organisms.
Researchers at New Zealand?s Waikato University have discovered the remarkable ability of natural honey as an antibacterial agent. Honey may be applied full strength or diluted and will completely stop the growth of all the major infectious species of bacteria. They also found that honey was, in some cases, superior to antibiotics in treating drug-resistant strains of bacteria. Use it for bites, stings, cuts or any topical infection.

Olive leaf extract has an active ingredient called elenolic acid. This acid has strong anti-bacterial and anti-viral effects. It has proven to be useful in cases of yeast and fungal infections, herpes, chronic fatigue, allergies and psoriasis.

Love Those Good Old Home Remedies

Proven Old Home Remedies

Remember your grandmother?s old home remedies? Remember thinking that she was crazy for using them? Remember thinking ?Wow! Modern technology is so great with all this new medication?? Yeah, me too. But when you have Candida, Grandma?s approach may be your best bet. Safe, inexpensive, and extremely effective ? using home remedies may be ?just what the doctor ordered? ? so to speak.
And those great old home remedies can be a big help in fighting Candida. Despite the fact that we have numerous types of ?new? medicines that are supposed to be more effective at treating disease, many of the old remedies are actually as effective or even more effective than expensive drugs.

One example of this truth is the treatment of vaginal yeast infections. If you have Candidiasis, new medications probably don?t help that much if at all. You may experience relief for a few hours or days, but permanent relief evades you. These drugs may even increase the problem. However, home remedies such as using plain yogurt on a tampon or inserting one clove of garlic into the vagina may have better long-lasting effects that will not make the problem worse. Additionally, you won?t have to spend a fortune buying costly medications with the risk of potential side effects.
If you try old home remedies you may find that your problems clear up much more quickly than expected. Additionally these remedies will not have the side effects that modern medicines may cause. You can be safe and healthy while not have to pay a fortune for medication. Yeast infections have the most helpful home remedies, and you can learn more about those on our main yeast infection home remedies page with extensive how-to information.

The easiest way to treat and prevent thrush is to eat a yoghurt every day. They must have the live bacteria in them as this is what goes to work to combat thrush. Especially for pregnant mommies, as this is far safer then any medication and is very good for baby also.

For babies tongue thrush, apply pure glycerine

You will need to treat your nipples also

Bacterial Vaginosis Remedies Revealed

In some people, bacterial vaginosis often goes away without any type of treatment, but for those who are concerned about their health, having some bacterial vaginosis remedies shouldn’t be much of a hassle.


Some women may be more concerned about their personal hygiene when they experience bacterial vaginosis, but a majority of them does not show any type of symptoms such as odor and vaginal discharge. This condition becomes a little complicated when it hits pregnant women. When left untreated, bacterial vaginosis could result in certain complications like premature birth, premature labor, the amniotic fluid becoming infected, and infection of uterus after delivery.


Bacterial vaginosis is not necessarily transmitted through sex, and while the condition shares some similarities to yeast infections, they shouldn’t be mistaken with one another, as yeast infections are not caused by bacteria.


Most women may have one or a few bacterial vaginosis that they know of. This shouldn’t be surprising, since these remedies could often be found readily available in your home. One of the common remedies for bacterial vaginosis includes plain yogurt that contains live lactobacillus. This is inserted directly to thevagina using a plastic applicator. This treatment is believed to help in rebalancing good and bad bacteria that caused bacterial vaginosis.


Another bacterial vaginosis remedy is acidophilus capsules or suppositories, which are put directly to the vagina or diluted first with water. This is also said to work in the same way as live lactobacillus.


Tee tree oil in the form of douches or suppositories could also help treat bacterial vaginosis. This bacterial vaginosis remedy is diluted and inserted to the vagina. Tee tree oil is known to have antifungal properties that could fight bad bacteria and eventually get rid of the condition.


Hydrogen peroxide is also considered to help in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. This should first be diluted in water, with 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 8 parts water. This is said to rebalance the normal ph of the vagina and restore the normal bacterial flora.


Antibiotics may also serve as bacterial vaginosis remedies. Metronidazole may either be taken orally or directly applied to the affected area in its gel form. This is known to be one of the most effective treatments for bacterial vaginosis, although it may bring mild but unpleasant adverse effects. The gel form does not produce side effects like the orally taken pills, but it may lead to yeast vaginitis in some cases.


Although bacterial vaginosis is not necessarily acquired through sex, limiting your partners could lessen the occurrence of this condition. Practicing safe sex maybe one of the best way to prevent having bacterial vaginosis.

Home Remedies to Get Rid of A Yeast Infection

Home Remedies  On How to Get Rid of A Yeast Infection

Vinegar Vinegar can also be used to treat this disease. Mix one to three tablespoons of vinegar with a quart of water. Douche with this solution at least once a day to relieve the symptoms of the disease. Discontinue this treatment if the infection does not go away after one week.
Garlic Garlic has a natural anti-fungal agent that can help fight the candida fungus and prevent the symptoms from getting worse. Use a clove of garlic as a suppository to treat yeast infections at home. Peel a clove of garlic and wrap it in gauze. Insert the wrapped clove into your vagina to treat your infection.
Herbal Douche An herbal douche is also an effective home remedy for yeast. Combine equal amounts of comfrey, raspberry, and sage with about 1/4 part goldenseal. You can also use cider vinegar if you do not have any goldenseal at home. Mix the solution well and then douche with it once a day.
If the natural home remedies above did not work, you can try over-the-counter remedies for treating fungal infections instead. Over-the-counter remedies are more expensive than the home remedies listed above, but they are generally more effective and help you get rid of the candida fungus faster. You can buy over-the-counter antifungal remedies at almost any drug store.

If you plan to use antifungal medications or other over-the-counter remedies, it is best that you consult your doctor first. Your doctor can recommend the best over-the-counter medications for your condition so that you will be able to get the most effective medication for your infection. A serious yeast infection may require prescription-only medications. If you think your disease is serious, visit your doctor as soon as possible and ask him about prescription-only medications for your disease.

Any suggestions as how to get rid of the nail fugus imbedded inside the nail? Thank you.

  • i hada fungus starting in two toenails about 5 yrs ago. The fungus is very deep rooted, so the only real way to get rid of it is to take medication for about 3 months. I have been clear eversince.

    Homeremedies really dont work because you can only put them on the surface.

  • My husband has a big toe nail exactly the same. We have recently bought Curanail to treat it. You get 3 months supply of stuff and, once a week, you file the nail and paint this stuff on it. It does state that, because nails grow so slowly, it does take a while. Finger nails up to 6 months and toe nails 9 - 12 months so it is not a quick fix.
    Boots the chemist were wanting over £20 for Curanail but I searched online and got it for £13.98.

    Vicks vapour rub is supposed to be good for fungal toenails. It needs to be applied once or twice a day for months on end though. I started treating mine with this but couldn't keep it up and am now going to get a prescription instead.
