in the morning, for 20 days a month. If you do this for a minimum of 3 months,
you should see your numbers in calcium deficiency improve.
Corns
Corns on the feet can be quite uncomfortable. And, if your feet are uncomfortable,
your mobility will most likely suffer, leading to more serious issues. Yes, you can
have them taken care of at the doctor’s. However, that can be costly, and painful.
So, boil some hawthorn root in a pot of water, until the water turns brown. Let it
cool slightly, but while hot enough to stand it without burning your skin, soak your
feet until the water cools significantly. Repeat this daily for approximately 2 weeks.
You should start to see some improvement in just a couple days.
Hangovers
If you partake in the spirits, you might be interested in some natural remedies for
a good old-fashioned hangover. Hangovers have been around as long as the first
brew.
In China, they swear by green tea. Apparently, it’s more than just a tea for the
health-conscious and yoga crowd. Sipping on green tea when you start feeling the
effects of having a bit too much to drink, will help diminish the tell-tale symptoms
of a good party. Green tea is not a fad though. The Chinese have been drinking it
for medicinal purposes for thousands of years.
Another option comes from the United States. But to some, this option might seem
more brutal than the hangover itself. It’s often referred to as a “prairie oyster”. If
that hasn’t lost you yet, combine 1 raw egg yolk, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 2 teaspoons
of Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons ketchup, 1 teaspoon pepper sauce, and a little
bit of salt and pepper. Whisk all the ingredients and drink up!
