Default Food Cures - Nature's Medicine

As I approached the age of fifty I've become interested in the things I eat and what I could benefit healthwise from eating certain food.

Thought it would make a great thread, and we could all learn together and share our facts here.

Remember when your mom gave you ginger ale when you had an upset stomach?

Well, Mom's know best

It wasn't the ginger ale that is good for you, it is
the ginger it's made from.

Ginger protects the lungs and colon, oil of ginger stimulates circulation and is useful for arthritic and rheumatic disorders, urinary difficulties, morning sickness and motion sickness.

Who Knew? Eat More Ginger!

Ginger is good for a crapload of stuff!

Unfortunately, I vomit if I take ginger supplements.

When you feel like a snack, nuts are a healthy choice, especially walnuts.

Walnuts are the only nuts that offer a significant amount of the omega-3 fat alpha-linolenic acid, ALA’s anti-inflammatory properties halt plaque buildup in the arteries that results when "bad" LDL cholesterol is oxidized.

No salt pistachio nuts are a healthy second choice, which help lower blood pressure.

I keep a jar of pickled ginger in my fridge, like the kind used with sushi
When I have an upset stomach, I eat a few slices of it
Seems to help my stomach cope better

You left out one very important nut...Almonds, almonds, good for your heart, the more you eat the more you … lower your LDL cholesterol, improve your complexion and digestion, and reduce your risk of cancer.

Garlic oil in ears isn't good for severe infection. Can cause burns and repturing of ear drums.
Sweet oil however works.

Mint for sore throats.
Tepid tea for burns.

Not sure about the furchildren. It is a form of olive oil used for medicinal purposes it is not purified. You can purchase at most groceries, walmarts targets or natural food shops. It also is great to use like neosporin.

I read on a healthy eating website that eating 1 banana a day will reduce your risk of colon cancer by 40%. It's also excellent for prevention of muscle cramps in your legs and keeping you from getting dehydrated. Who knew!

Also taking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar a day has quite a few health benefits. It helps with stiff joints, muscle cramps, if your diabetic taking a tablespoon 30 minutes before you eat will keep your sugar from spiking after you eat.

Default Honey

For relief of coughing and wheezing associated with bronchitis , or other respiratory ailments,
mix 1 tsp thyme in a little honey take orally as needed to soothe airways .
this really really works!!!
Something else to add honey is great for dressing minor wounds.
honey contains a germ killing substance called inhidine.

Had to return to my bottle of Braggs yesterday...will be interested to see if there is any noticable difference beyond taste.

Cinnamon is an amazing spice. Great for cleaning out the liver and regulating your blood sugar levels.

Cayenne pepper allows smooth blood flow by preventing platelets from clumping together and accumulating in the blood.

Add a dash to a salad or in salt-free soups.
