Goodbye Paracetamol: 5 Most Common Ailments With Natural Cures

Paracetamols, when taken, have side effects such as increasing risks of a heart attack. Yet, some people still continue using it due to lack of knowledge on pain killer substitutes.

Luckily, Dr. Sarah Brewer of Healthspan mentioned on Daily Mail some of the ailments that people experience could actually be cured naturally.

The first common ailments cold, sinusitis and bronchitis are mentioned by Brewer to actually be cured through Pelargonium. She then swears that the effectiveness would be seen in just 12 hours. It was advised to take Pelargonium three days until the symptoms stop.

Pain is described to be the second most common as it is experienced in various parts of our bodies. The doctor then advised to take herbal medicines rather than paracetamols and ibuprofens because of its side effects that include liver and heart damages. The Devil’s Claw is advised for joint and muscle pain and the traditional turmeric known for its anti-inflammatory effects which promote joint health. Feverfew is also advised for migraine pain.

Indigestion would be the third common event experiences by a person. Milk thistle is then advised by Brewer as the first aid for upset stomachs since it has antioxidant protection. Silicolgel is also mentioned as well for a soothing gas relief.

For people who experience anxiety and mood swings, it is identified by Brewer that herbal medicine, St John's Wort or an amino acid called 5-HTP could help lift the mood. Yet, she strongly advises that a person’s prescribed antidepressants should not be taken along with natural antidepressants.

Lastly, she advised that people who experience insomnia could treat it by Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT.) She also advised that the most effective way is herbal medicine, Valerian since it reduces stress and calms the brain for sleep to come peacefully.
