Alternative Medicines That Work
There's a lot of hype about alternative and natural medicines.
Some of them are certainly without much value. Of course there
is a lot of hype about regular medicines, many of which do as
much harm as good. The fact that natural remedies and treatments
rarely hurt people as much as prescription drugs is one reason
to at least try them. Here are a few that I can vouch for from
experience.
Tea Tree Oil
Years ago, I had a lump on the side of my nose, growing slowly,
bleeding at times. I had it for years, and the one time I asked
a doctor about it, he wasn't sure if it was actually cancerous.
I read somewhere that tee tree oil might work. I bought a bottle
at a health-food store for $6. I applied a drop to the lump each
day, and in less than six weeks, the lump was gone completely.
Is this a coincidence? After having the growth for years?
I don't think so. In fact I had another growth years later on
my neck, and for several years, I couldn't remember what I had
used the first time. When I found a clue in some old notes, I
used tea tree oil on that growth, which was even larger than
the first one. It was gone in about six weeks.
St. John's Wort
Once, when hiking in Canada, I cut my foot. The gash was deep.
I found St. John's Wort (Hypericum perfolatum), which has been
proven to have anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties.
I mashed up a few leaves and bandaged them to the cut, replacing
them occasionally. I have honestly never seen a cut heal faster.
St. John's Wort is one of the better known alternative medicines
now. It is used as an anti-depressant, with numerous studies
showing it's effectiveness. It is also used by some as a temporary
mood-elevator. This effect isn't proven yet, but whenever I've
had tea made from the plant, it tasted awful and left me happy
for two hours. Anecdotal and subjective evidence (I'm not even
entirely convinced), but interesting.
Valerian Root
When my wife has cramps and pain, nothing works better than
tea made from valerian root. You can get the tea in many stores
now. I wouldn't try driving after having valerian root. This
is a powerful relaxant.
Actually, valerian root is too strong for some people. A gentler
herb that will relax you is chamomile. You can find this as tea
too. It makes a great drink with honey, just before you are ready
to go to bed.
Other Alternatives
There are so many alternatives out there. I have stopped a
headache just by chewing on willow twigs. I have stopped diarrhea
with oak bark (careful - this can hard on the liver in large
doses). I have watched a friend's poison ivy rash disappear overnight
with the application of jewelweed juice.
I have tried just as many alternatives that didn't work, too,
but you know what? Put all the ineffective ones together and
the cost probably doesn't add up to the cost of one visit to
a doctor. As for the effective ones, well, no doctor yet has
introduced me to one of them.  You
just have to do your own research, and look to the alternative
press, to get information on alternative medicines.
