How can i remove pimples with natural home remedies?

Posted by admin on Jul 31, 2010 under Natural Remedies

I have seen people either get rid or decrease their pimples with natural remedies from home and I wondered what I could use. So are there any natural home remedies you use and if yes please put it down.

Natural Home Remedies :
Gram Flour, Termeric powder, Plain Yogurt or Curd, Milk or water…the measurements arent really needed….Make a paste out of it….Leave it on until it becomes dry…Its called Basin, it actually makes your skin fresh looking….be careful not to add too much termeric powder…just half a spoon…Also Lime Juice is good for your skin…but i am not sure if it would remove all pimples….
Here’s another way you could do it:
go to lovelyskin.com and you can find products there that can absolutely satisfy you, also if your buying anything, by the Obaig kit..dont buy it seprately…Also, if you can find one, get a Oil Control product (Netrogena Rapid Oil Control) Its usually in a orange and white tube…..it works great on me..I see less and less pimples… Next if you can find a body or face scrub, its good to make the pimples less noticiable…Also, one last tip, is that wash your face at least 3 times a day with products…Once in teh morning when you wake up, next after you go for an outing, or extra activities, etc and last, right when your about to sleep…Also dont forget to apply cream after each wash…not too much..but as neccessary..dont make it to oily or too dry..I recommend Ponds cream…it works great on my skin

Natural remedies to reduce swelling and get rid of bruising?

Posted by admin on Jun 21, 2010 under Natural Remedies

I pulled my quad playing softball and its really swollen and extremely bruised. Ive been to the doctor and everything .and so I have a prognosis. I just want the swelling to go down. Any natural home remedies to reduce swelling (other than the RICE method) and any remedies to getting rid of bruises quickly ??
Thanks!

this is probably too late for now but if you put it on right away arnica is an herb that can reduce bruising quite successfully I have read. Be sure it is the herb and not a homopathic one which many are]

One like herbpharm arnica oil would be recommended. You could get some now for the future and try it but I am not sure if it will help once the bruising sets in.

there are some suggestions here though that may well help

be sure you try to get organic herbs and if possible tinctures (these are liquid extracts with brown glass bottles with eye dropper tops) rather than capsuled herbs for best results

what are some natural remedies to treat really bad anxiety?

Posted by admin on Jun 18, 2010 under Natural Remedies

ive got really bad anxiety, and so far the onlt thing thats really helped it thats totally natural is marijuana, but i cant always get it cuz im 14 and i dont always have the money, so i was just wondering if anyone knew any cheap effective natural remedies, thanks!

Cutting caffeine and sugar will help, but doing some moderate exercise (walking, jogging, etc) can help quite a bit as well.
If you would like some added help, there are some natural products for stress and anxiety. Some of the most popular are GABA, L-Theanine, Rhodiola Rosea, 5-HTP, and L-Tryptophan.

What natural allergy remedies are there?

Posted by admin on May 21, 2010 under Natural Remedies

I am looking for some alternative natural remedies for allergies. Lorratadine works for me but I don’t want to keep taking tablets. I already do the washing hands, changing clothes and rinsing face things. Are there any foods or supplements that would help?

we and this "infernal " problem…
I know it gets on every body’s nerves… but unfortunately the only way to get ride off chemical drugs is to get ride of the causes of your kind of allergy itself!

some points to be cautioned of though are :

1-Try to expose your bedroom to sun and fresh air.keep your room dry.

2-do not get any pet with you at home.

3 - Wear dusts masks.

4- Do not leave your old books in your bed room.

5- Sponge pillow is better than cotton,and polestar is better than sponge..

6- Try breathing steam from hot water.and of courseot water.

ofcourse there are other alternitive remedies and herbal medicens…but they take long time to show thier action …+ they need complicated structure…adding one tea spoon of ginger and one spoon of honey into boiled water,could be usfull to reduce the sneezing and calm down the irritation in your nasal passeges.

-well at the end that seems as a list of punishment though !

Are there any natural remedies to get rid of tapeworms?

Posted by admin on May 4, 2010 under Natural Remedies

My five cats have tape worms, and the medicine every month is getting expensive. Are there any natural remedies to get rid of them? I heard garlic but it isn’t good for cats because it destroys red blood cells.

Tapeworms are tricky to kill. There are no safe natural remedies I am aware of. Sometimes you can get praziquantal (a tapeworm dewormer) at pet stores, but make sure the dewormer says it is for tapeworms.

However, if you’ve been treating them with medicine from your vet and they still have tapeworms, then I think it may be best for you to focus on why they keep getting tapeworms and concentrate on preventing the problem instead of treating it. Cats get tapeworms either from fleas or from eating rodents. With all five of your cats consistently getting tapeworms, I would suspect fleas first. If you can treat your cats for fleas, they’ll stop getting tapeworms.

Otherwise, you’ll have to keep them indoors to keep them from hunting rodents - or you might have a rodent problem inside your house that you need to address.

Since it’s a particular species of tapeworm that comes from fleas, your vet can help you figure out whether your cats are getting infected from fleas or rodents.

Which natural remedies work and which natural remedies don’t work?

Posted by admin on Mar 20, 2010 under Natural Remedies

It seems like everybody is going natural these days and using natural remedies instead of synthetic remedies to prevent and treat a variety of canine parasites and diseases. Have you tried any of these remedies? Which ones worked and which ones didn’t work?

Planting lavendar in your garden can deter fleas from your yard.
We had a bad infestation when we moved into our new place. We treated the house but couldn’t get them out of the yard.
Planted some lavendar bushes in each corner and now we are flea free (we still use monthly flea prevention too of coarse)

Could have been co-incidence but it worked for us!

Another one that worked for a friend of mine whos dog was having seizures was feeding green beans daily.
Sounds kooky but she weaned him off the meds he was on and fed the beans daily and he hasn’t had a seizure for years.
