Don’t Underestimate the Power of Natural Remedies

NATURAL-WAYS-TO-CURE-ERECTILE-DYSFUNCTION

I’ve always been a proponent of using a common-sense approach to treating ailments and illnesses.  Some medications work very well, whereas others can end up creating more problems than they treat.  On the other hand, there are also many natural remedies that can end up doing the same thing.  However, when there is a choice available, I tend to go the natural route simply because I know that they have been used for ages, and generally-speaking, produce minimal risk.

Sleep Aid

An all-natural sleep aid product that I tried out a couple of years ago was what really turned my attention to natural remedies.  It contained ingredients that were all herbal, plus a good deal of L-tryptophan, or the compound found in turkeys that makes us sleepy.  Combined, this product knocked me out within minutes, and I didn’t wake up with that groggy-feeling that I get from other sleep-aids, and these are non-habit forming.

Consequently, I started to look at other natural remedies as ways to help alleviate the symptoms of a wide-range of ailments.  There are thousands of “cures” and recipes out there, and it took a bit of trial-and-error and experimentation before I was able to find ones that really work.  That’s an important lesson to take away from natural remedies:  Some work better than others, some are safer than others and some are not worth the hassle to prepare, particularly when a suitable pharmaceutical is available that has minimal side-effects.

Survival Medicine Cabinet

One of the benefits of this quest that I’ve been on is that I can prepare remedies ahead of time and store them for use under normal circumstances as well as during a crisis.  While It’s true that you can stock up on medicines from the store, these natural remedies are more sustainable.  This partly because many of the ingredients can be grown at home, and the ones that need to be ordered can be prepared and stored over the long-term in many cases. 

Consequently, my survival medicine cabinet has a blend of natural as well as over-the-counter remedies.  I also have some recipes that I can whip up together from ingredients that I have laying around in order to make remedies on the spot as well.  At the end of the day, I feel better-equipped and prepared if a SHTF situation comes my way, and access to medication and remedies may be a challenge.

Plan Ahead

The trick with herbal remedies is that it takes some practice, planning and experimentation in order to whittle down the list to ones that really work.  Consequently, if you’re interested in delving into the more natural side of things when it comes to treating ailments, now is the time to get started.  There’s a lot to learn, a lot of ways to adapt, and unfortunately, you don’t get to know the effectiveness of some of these remedies until they are used when someone isn’t feeling well.

I guess the point that I’m making is that there’s no time like the present in terms of learning, testing and finally using remedies that can really work.  Try to choose ones that can be made from resources that you’ll have on hand during a period of prolonged self-sufficiency, and look for recipes that can be stored over the long-term as well. 

At the end of the day, natural remedies generally not only alleviate symptoms, but they can produce benefits for the body as well.  Pharmaceuticals, on the other hand, are generally designed to treat symptoms but not provide any real health benefits.  Consequently, going natural is a better option all around as long as it’s safe and practical to do so.  However, there’s nothing wrong with having some commercial products on hand when all you need is a quick solution for a minor problem as well.  The key is to be practical and find the right blend of medicines and remedies that work best for you and your family.

What are some of your favorite remedies?  Feel free to share some ideas that can help us all to find remedies that can be healthier and just as effective as pharmaceutical products.
