Keep the freshly made tea in the dropper bottle, and then it can conveniently travel with you and your babe throughout the day. This is a good method for treating colic. Try a combination of equal parts chamomile, fennel and lemon balm for this.
Herbal baths are also very effective and quite safe. The baby will absorb the healing properties of the herbs through the skin and into the blood stream. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Short fruit fasts, with plenty of pure water and cleansing herbal teas, can be very helpful. Good herbs to include are sage, rosemary, cayenne, echinacea, goldenseal, red clover, astragalus, and burdock root. Beneficial bacteria, such as those found in non-dairy yogurt, or supplements of lactobacillus and acidophilus, support the digestive processes necessary for the maintenance of the immune system. Other nutrients that directly enhance the immune system include garlic, quercetin, zinc gluconate, buffered vitamin C, and beta carotene or vitamin A. |
Dian Dincin Buchman, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Drinking pure, room-temperature water and copious amounts of hot herbal teas will flush the system and help to restore normal functioning.
Gallstones: Drinking 8 to 12 glasses of water a day will greatly dilute the bile secretion and flush the liver.
Edema: When the tissues of the body—especially in the feet—are swollen, it is necessary to drink several quarts of pure water a day. But it is advisable to drink it only early in the morning and in the evening—not in the intervening hours. If additional water is necessary, drink it in ounce quantities only. | | Techniques: Chamomile enema, cold-water or hayflower-dipped shirt, hot compresses (depending on the problem), herbal teas, abdominal compress. Water therapy does not replace the need for immediate medical care in the case of convulsions.
To relieve thirst. Drinking copious amounts of water assuages the thirst and restores the alkalinity of the blood.
Techniques: Drinking pure (glass-botded) water, distilled water with lemon juice, water plus fruit juice.
For buoyancy. Bedridden patients will feel better and avoid bedsores when the body is buoyed by special "strip" water mattresses. | | Several days before the period is expected, drink hot herbal teas such as rosemary, sage, chamomile, lady's mantle, or lemon verbena to stimulate the onset of the period. Other kitchen herbs are helpful in overcoming a delayed period, such as basil leaves, melissa or lemon balm, thyme leaves, fennel plant, or dill leaves. | | Drink hot lemonade and honey, herbal teas, and clear broth throughout the day.
Every morning, wash your nose by sluicing both nostrils with a saline solution (salt water) and drying with a tissue. This is a key, and underemployed, way to cut off a cold.
Massage your big toe with ice.
To help the body detoxify and perspire, and shed the oncoming or active cold, take a hot bath with a hayflower bath extract (Biokosma), or a detoxifying Epsom salts bath. (Avoid this last one if you are pregnant or have heart or circulation problems.) Get right into bed and perspire away. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Popular herbal teas, such as German chamomile, are often taken as much for their refreshing taste as for their medicinal value and can be safely consumed in quantities of up to 5 or 6 cups a day. Some herbs, however, such as yarrow (Achillea millefolium, p. 54), are significantly stronger and must be taken in less frequent doses. Other herbs, such as feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium, p. 139), are so strong that they are not suitable for use in infusions. |
Jean Carper
See book keywords and concepts |  So-called herbal teas may also have medicinal qualities, but since they are made from a variety of plants with unknown concentrations of therapeutic chemicals, they must be evaluated one by one.
Green tea appears to pack a much greater protective punch than black tea, which is allowed to oxidize, destroying some of its polyphenols, especially tannins. Green tea leaves commonly have twice the concentration of powerful catechins as black tea leaves. Instant green tea has about three times more catechin than black instant tea. |

Peppermint also is used for headaches, vomiting, and insomnia, as a bath additive for general aches and pains, and as a salve for massage. Spearmint is used in folk medicine for "women's complaints."

Homeopathic remedies were used along with vaccines to stimulate antibody production.
Dr. Issels' cure statistics were not numerically impressive, but there was no lack of patients for treatment. Those who came to him were not in the early stages of the disease but were, for the most part, patients whom the medical establishment had been unable to help. For them, Dr. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Caffeine-free herbal teas make fine, caffeine-free alternatives to coffee, but they do have other hazards of which you should be aware. (See section 119.)
COMMENTS AND CAUTIONS Whether you drink coffee or tea, decaf or regular, don't drink it hot! Drinking hot beverages—above 157°F—may significantly raise your risk of esophageal cancer. (The International Journal of Cancer reported that people who drank more than 2 cups of hot beverages daily over the course of several years quadrupled their risk of this cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts | | This is also a fine way to make herbal teas since it seems to combine decoction and infusion all in one.
Other Herbal Remedies_
There are a number of other herbal remedies that are useful in relation to infertility, according to herbalist C.J. Puotinen. If the problem seems to stem from the circulatory system use gota kola and ginkgo. Also said to enhance fertility are stinging nettles and green oats. Although there have been no clinical studies on these substances, anecdotal evidence certainly supports their value.
The tonic and adaptogen herbs are also quite helpful. | | These herbal teas may be taken orally as well. Simple dietary changes have been made by now, such as the addition of water. This simple measure spells the difference between success and failure in alleviating many bowel conditions. I ask all my clients to double their intake of water.
"I love to see people's change in attitude from the time they come in to the time that they leave. Sometimes people are very irritable when their bowels are backed up. They're often depressed, and sometimes nasty. By the time they leave, you can see a smile and a bounce in their step. |
Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D., Lisa Y. Lefferts and Anne Witte Garland
See book keywords and concepts | | You could bypass the coffee controversies altogether by switching to herbal teas. Just make sure the teas don't contain coltsfoot, sassafras, or comfrey, which are suspected carcinogens. Sassafras was banned from food in 1960 because of cancer concerns.
If you drink lots of regular, nonherbal tea, one concern besides caffeine is tannin, a naturally occurring mixture of chemicals that may be cancer-causing. Your best bet is to drink your tea the British way—with milk, which binds the tannin and makes it insoluble. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Ideally, the liquids should be in the form of pure water, herbal teas, and fresh fruit and vegetable juices diluted with at least an equal amount of water. The patient should be encouraged to drink at least 2 litres of liquids from this group, with at least half of this amount being water. The patient should also be advised to avoid such liquids as soft drinks, concentrated fruit drinks, coffee, and alcoholic beverages. |

See book keywords and concepts | | I used herbal teas for sleeplessness and diarrhea, and acupressure, not antihistamines, for allergies. My treatments were by no means always successful, and rarely was relief as swift as from allopathic medicine. But I was learning from my illnesses—about myself as well as alternative therapies—and I knew I wasn't creating any new problems with my treatment.
I spent several months in England with Dr. Singha learning the fundamentals of acupuncture and osteopathy. In the U.S. |

See book keywords and concepts | | A combination of baths, herbal teas, and hardening exercises, the system had some vogue in the 1890's before flowering into naturopathy. Holbrook's journal also gave positive notices to osteopathy and "chiropathy" [chiropractic] commending them for not going to the "drugstore or ransack[ing] creation for remedies nor load[ing] the blood with poison." But though bathing and musculoskeletal manipulation were natural and nonpoisonous, Holbrook preferred to give the body complete responsibility for healing itself. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Bruce Halstead, was sentenced to eight years in prison for prescribing an unapproved drug when he recommended herbal teas that enhance the immune system to his cancer patients. In less industrialized, less wealthy nations, there tends to be a greater acceptance of medicinal herbs. In part, this is simply due to economics. In many countries, if you are poor, your health care will depend largely on medicinal herbs because industrial medicine is only for those who can afford it.
Recently, one of China's leading cancer researchers, Dr. |
Ronald L. Hoffman, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Make use of flavorful herbal teas for taste —warm in winter, iced in summer.
• Fresh vegetable juice, such as carrot or beet juice made with a juicer.
• Consider healthful green drinks. These are powder mixes of freeze-dried high-chlorophyll plants, like barley greens, spirulina, and blue-green algae. ProGreens, from Nutricology, is one such product. These are a good source of phyto-nutrients, concentrated plant nutrients for immune support and cancer prevention. |
J. E. Williams, O.M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  To avoid this possibility, add honey to the herbal teas to keep your blood sugar levels stable.
You will need to take natural antimicrobial medications, such as garlic and grapefruit seed extracts, to manage the infection. (These medications are explained in detail in step 7.) Cool baths or sponge baths can control mild fevers by keeping your overall body temperature lowered. | | Teas and herbs: all herbal teas (mints, chamomile, raspberry), chrysanthemum tea, green tea, and jasmine tea are allowed.
• Water.- distilled, filtered, or spring water.
Strategy #3. Increase redox with antioxidants: Increasing supplemental antioxidants is essential, and vitamin C is again the main building block. Take 500-1,000 mg of pure or buffered vitamin C powder frequently throughout the day, up to bowel tolerance. Take the recommended dosages given in step 2. | | While herbal teas, soups, juices, coffee, sodas, and the fluid contained in foods help to hydrate the tissues, they should not be considered as a replacement for pure water. Some beverages, like black tea and coffee, are diuretics and will cause your body to lose water.
If you have a viral illness, it is essential that you avoid tap water and use only purified water or spring water in glass or hard plastic bottles. | | Natural medicine views common gastroenteritis similarly as does conventional medicine, but it adds additional remedies like aci-
A number of common herbal teas and tinctures are helpful and include elder flowers, echinacea, yarrow, sage, fresh ginger, and bone-set. The therapeutic use of these herbs is explained in part 2.

Viral Gastroenteritis
Viral gastroenteritis, also called the stomach flu, the intestinal flu, or grippe, can be caused by adenoviruses, rotaviruses, cali-civiruses, or astroviruses. | | Drinking copious amounts of pure water, fresh juices, and herbal teas is an important feature of a cleansing program. However, it is important not to overcon-sume fluids on a regular basis, since they can cause excessive excretion of minerals.
The lungs are responsible for respiration. They are the site in your body where air from the outside atmosphere interacts with the internal environment. Through a process involving specialized lung tissue, an exchange of gases occurs in the lungs and eventually oxygen circulates in the blood. |
Susun S. Weed
See book keywords and concepts |  Notice that I prefer infused herbal oils (not essential oils) and powerful herbal infusions (not herbal teas).
• Different people can have different reactions to the same substance, whether drug, food, or herb. If you take lots of herbs mixed together and have distressing side effects, how can you know which one is the cause? For safety, I use one herb (sometimes two, and only rarely three) at a time. Limiting the number of herbs I use in xix one day helps me discern my response to the plant allies I've chosen. |
Dian Dincin Buchman, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Prepare hot lemonade or any of these hot herbal teas: peppermint, thyme, sage, red raspberry. Small amounts of yarrow may be added. Use Ys to v4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper tea added to 1 cup of boiling water to help control internal hemorrhaging.
Void the bladder.
Take a 15- to 30-minute hot bath or hot footbath. Apply a cold compress to the forehead.
Tuck the blanket (or if a sheet is also used, tuck the sheet and then the blanket) around the body. To increase perspiration, apply hot water bottles to the soles of the feet and the sides of the body. |
Ronald L. Hoffman, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Drink three to eight glasses of spring water, diluted vegetable broth or juice, miso broth, herbal teas, carrot juice, or watermelon juice throughout the day. If you find you are thirsty, drink more.
Work or light exercise is fine, but don't undertake strenuous activity.
Soak some dried fruit overnight in water or apple juice for your breakfast the next day. This is very easy food for the body to digest, and it contains pectin and vitamins. |
Dian Dincin Buchman, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Concoct a home mouthwash by combining 1 teaspoon of vodka per cup to any of the following steeped and strained herbal teas: bruised cloves, fennel seeds, aniseed, dill seeds, cardamom seeds, cinnamon, peppermint, rosemary, sage, or thyme. Store in the refrigerator.
General Therapy
Avoid eating smelly foods. One of the best old-fashioned remedies to cleanse the system and filter out smelly or gassy foods is an occasional tablet of activated charcoal. These activated charcoal tablets are available in pharmacies and health food stores. |
James S. Gordon, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  In between, I drank herbal teas: elder flowers—to help break up the mucus that made me so miserable; mullein, goldenseal, and borage to tone the membranes of the nose and sinuses and to reduce inflammation; and echinacea to repel possible viral and bacterial invaders. I brewed these plants in various combinations—boiling them in water—added honey and lemon, and on occasion black pepper (also good for dispersing mucus) to make the mixture—the decoction, the herbalists called it—more palatable. |
Bill Gottlieb
See book keywords and concepts |  Until a few years ago, herbal teas, those age-old remedies for everything from insomnia to morning sickness, were sold mainly in health food stores. Today, you'll find seemingly endless varieties stacked next to the Java and hot chocolate in your local supermarket. And a cosmetics company, Origins, uses aromatherapy oils in its Sensory Therapy line, which includes peppermint, wintergreen, cinnamon, licorice and patchouli among its ingredients.
Even mainstream doctors have begun to recommend natural, drugless therapies to treat both everyday complaints and serious illnesses. |
