Dr. Sina’s Blog
Welcome to my blog!
I share my thoughts on food, health, natural medicine, stress reduction, and disease reversal with a keen focus on providing practical solutions that everyone can incorporate into their daily lives.
Herbal First Aid Kit Part FIVE: PEOPLE’S PASTE
People’s Paste is a combination of herbs that were used by ancient cultures to stop bleeding, disinfect wounds, and heal cuts and punctures. In an emergency, it can take the place of stitches.
Herbal First Aid Kit Part FOUR: FRANKINCENSE
The “King of Essential Oils,” frankincense is one of the world’s most important and well-known natural remedies. Studies have confirmed that frankincense contains numerous healing properties, including:
· Anti-cancer
· Anti-diabetic
· Anti-arthritic
· Anti-inflammatory
· Stress Reducer
· Anti-depressant
· Anti-microbial
· Anti-fungal
· Neuroprotectant & Memory Enhancer
Herbal First Aid Kit Part THREE: PEPPERMINT
In ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, mint was used to treat indigestion and sooth the stomach. In fact, peppermint leaves have been found in Egyptian pyramids dating back to 1,000 B.C.
By the 18th century, in Western Europe, peppermint was used for nausea, morning sickness, vomiting, menstrual disorders and respiratory infections. Mint was listed in the London Pharmacopoeia in 1721 as a remedy for colds, headaches, sores, and venereal disease.
In South Africa, dried mint leaves were burned and the smoke inhaled as a treatment against mental illness. Recently, scientists have confirmed the effectiveness of these ancient practices through numerous studies demonstrating that mint can regulate the nervous system.
Herbal First Aid Kit Part Two: PLANTAIN
Plantain is used in nearly every part of the world. Its use in wound healing dates to at least the Greeks who prescribed the leaves for treatment of dog bites. The Vikings also used plantain to heal wounds. Due to its popularity in the 14th century, plantain was revered in Shakespeare’s play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ for its ability to heal a broken shin.
Science has confirmed that plantain is an anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antiviral, pain-blocker, antidiarrheal, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-tumor, and immune-modulator.
Herbal First Aid Kit Part ONE: TURMERIC
The number one remedy in my first aid kit is turmeric. I do not leave home without it. Turmeric has been safely used as both food and medicine for over 5,000 years.
Like our ancient ancestors, when I experience a headache, pain, swelling, or fever, instead of reaching for ibuprofen or acetaminophen (Tylenol®), I reach for turmeric.
