If you suffer with annoying, minor complaints, year after year, and your life miserable, then the following remedies may help you.
The Many Uses Of Tea Tree Oil
Or as it is sometimes known as "The Wonder From Down Under", which as you would imagine a native tree from Australia. Technical name Melaleuca Alternifolia, which would not lead you to assume the name of "Tea Tree"!
The tree grows in the swamplands and apparently there are more than thirty varieties of this tree, but only one that is the supplier of this marvellous healing oil.
The oil is actually extracted from the tree's leaves by a distillation process. An Australian scientist, one, Mr. A. Penfold, discovered the remedial properties of Tea Tree leaves, thus paving the way for the many and diverse uses of the oil.
Today the oil is used in creams, shampoos etc. For many people it is an ideal emergency standby.
Tea Tree Oil and Athletes Foot
With a complaint called Athlete's Foot, I have met people who are not seriously energetic, and certainly not athletes, but still have this complaint! In earlier days, it was often suggested that the prolonged use of canvass gym shoes used for sport that may have been one of the causes. Today it is often being blamed on the world-wide use of Trainers. Whatever the causes, it is actually a skin fungus.
The common and irritating (literally), itching associated with Athletes Foot can be alleviated by using the amazing and versatile Tea Tree Oil.
Tea Tree Oil has proved wonderfully successful, as an alternative remedy.
You just need to add 30 to 40 drops of the oil to a small amount of water, or Olive Oil, and soak the foot for about ten minutes.
Do this regularly and you'll soon see an improvement
Toe Nail Fungus
Again on the subject of feet, if you or anyone you know suffers from the distressing complaint of toe nail fungus then, Tea Tree Oil is a good alternative treatment for getting rid of the fungus.
Use cotton wool with a few drops of the oil and dab just under the rim of the nail, where the fungus is.
It is recommended that you do this three times a day where possible.
All of these treatments are natural, and therefore do not contain any drugs or chemicals, which makes it a safe way to treat these common ailments.
An Alternative Treatment for Boils.
There are many reasons for a boil to arrive, which can be anything from poor hygiene to a skin infection via stress. There are so many causes that you would be hard pressed to isolate the reason.
They can, however, be treated with a natural alternative. Yes, you've guessed it, our old and valuable friend, Tea Tree Oil.
The easiest way to use this is to wash the area of the location of the boil(s), then apply a Tea Oil cream, which has the Tea Tree Oil property of being an antiseptic. Apply the cream regularly using cotton wool or lint. If you have other symptoms, such as feeling feverish, it would, at times, be best to consult your Doctor.
As you can see, there are many uses that Tea Tree Oil can be put to as alternative remedy, other problems such as the common cold, sun burn, nits in the hair and so on, so if you have a problem, see whether you can use this "miracle" alternative remedy.
Magnetic Therapy
In the many years of our civilisation, natural magnets, known as Lodestones, were used in healing processes. Using historical facts with today's technology, we are able to access the very latest and suitable healing and relief properties of magnets. Even hospitals use Magnetic Therapy to ease patients aches and pains.
There are many, many magnetic products from body wraps, magnetic insoles for shoes, a magnetic underlay for your bed etc. However, the most popular and easy to use are the magnetic bracelets, worn either on the wrist or ankle. The British Health Journal published an article in December 2004, stating that they found encouraging results for osteoarthritis, using magnetic therapy, to help in reducing the severity of pain.
Hip and knee joints are particularly eased in many patients by the use of magnetic bracelets.
There are many companies that specialise in supplying magnetic products, but care must be taken in getting the correct power of the magnets concerned. The measure of the strength of a magnet is measured by the technical term of "Gauss", and it is recommended that you should have at least 800 "Gauss" strength to be effective. In fact the range of magnets can be as high as 3600 "Gauss". Remember, that if you have one bracelet at 800 "Gauss", then obviously two, say one for your wrist and one for your ankle, you will be receiving 160 "Gauss". Also bear in mind that you should not use magnets if you have a pacemaker, or are pregnant, and have had recent surgery.
