Remedies & Supplements

Remedies, essential oils & Supplements

Disclaimer;

For information only, Lynn does not take any responsibility for any treatment, action, preparation or application of remedy as a result of reading this list.

As always consult your GP for diagnosis and before trying anything new.

Alternative Remedies and Supplements can be a matter of personal preference, what works wonderfully for one person may be deemed ineffective by another.

Some supplements take 3 months to establish themselves, others may take just a few days, but usually an improvement is felt within a couple of weeks.

Many people consider taking foods as medication a natural way of dealing with discomforts, as the list shows, many remedies have cautions or limitations of use, perhaps there may be a lower risk of side effects when compared with chemically extracted medications, but they both need to be treated with the same healthy respect.

Where many vitamins and minerals are generally washed out of the body, there are a few exceptions where it is possible to overdose, these are usually stored in the body, please keep in mind what you eat, as well as what you supplement.

Often we are drawn to the foods and suppliments that we need and are disinterested in those that do not enhance our well being.

An exception to this personal intuition is a sugar craving which indicates the presence of yeasts and parasite infestations.

Most of these Herbs & supplements can be bought in a local Health store or ordered over the internet.

Those Herbs with a green background can also be made into teas for greater versatility and used in the traditional way.

Aromatherapy, essential oils have a golden coloured background.

They are not for consumption and should never be used neat,[except where noted] always dilute with a base oil, like Almond oil. Neat oil burns the skin.

Generally speaking 10 drops of essence to 100ml of base oil.

Oils can be put into bath water [approx 5 drops unblended]

As an inhalant generally 10 drops to 2 pints of water

As a compress, 1 to 2 drops of oil on a water, dip compress on water to absorb.

Use blended oils for scalp rubs

As a fragrance, up to 5 drops in water, in essential oil burner.

I prefer not to use oils on young children under 5 years of age, but as an oil burner and inhalant they are safer, mainly because children can rub their eyes after touching the blend and some of the blends are to strong for their young skin, causing irritation.

This list is constantly being updated; please write in with any new findings you would like to share.
