101 Holistic Health Remedies and Tips - Page5
(61) Consider hypnosis to lose weight or stop smoking
There are many programs available that offer assistance to people who want to lose weight or stop smoking, but who have been unable to remove psychological obstacles that are standing in their way. Generally, in only a few sessions, the patient will become receptive to the hypnosis and will begin to see results quickly. It is important to find a reputable program and hypnotherapist who can demonstrate proven results from their techniques.
(62) Try a homeopathic approach to ADD
ADD is becoming one of the most commonly issued diagnoses among young children and adolescents today. Unfortunately, the treatment options are limited and most include the use of strong medications with terrible side effects. A better approach might be to treat only the symptoms that are present, and to treat in order to prevent the appearance of new symptoms. Homeopathic treatment includes not only natural medicines, but psychological counseling as well. The goal is to treat the patient, and not the disease. There are many traditional physicians who will work with you to develop a homeopathic treatment plan, and many holistic physicians who specialize in this type of treatment.
(63) Drink more water for skin problems
If you are suffering from a skin problem such as acne, eczema or some other sort of condition, the answer may be as simple as drinking more water. Improperly hydrated bodies lead to skin that is not supple and nourished enough to stop these conditions and dehydration can definitely cause skin problems that might otherwise be avoided. Make sure to drink 8-10 glasses of water every day. Making the change will help your health to improve overall, and your skin will show the results.
(64) Get better night sleep
Do your best to avoid stress and exertion within an hour of your bedtime. Consider having a cup of chamomile tea before bed, or using lavender infused oil in order to help induce a sense of relaxation. Try to get at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, to maintain healthy sleep habits.
(65) Try poison ivy for a sprained ankle
Although it is not commonly thought of as a good thing, poison ivy extract is actually an excellent pain reliever for sprains and strains. Sometimes, the extract is given to patients with severe flu symptoms or even arthritis.
(66) Use your bedroom for sleeping only
In today’s busy world, there is a tendency to turn the bedroom into a home office and multipurpose room. This is not recommended, as the bedroom should be instilling a sense of relaxation and restfulness.
(67) You'll sleep better with a sesame oil scalp massage
Warm a small amount of sesame oil, and massage into the scalp before washing your hair in order to induce sleep. This can also be an effective technique to stop a headache. Scalp massage in general is a good treatment option, however when combined with sesame oil the effects are better felt.
(68) Become familiar with aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a simple way to change your daily life. Through the use of essential oils, it is possible to get access to wonderful therapeutic results. Aromatherapy has been a popular holistic health topic for thousands of years, and many people will tell you that the promised benefits are completely accurate. For example, consider placing a few drops of Rosemary oil on a cotton ball and dabbing it on your forehead during a headache. Or, consider placing a drop of lavender oil on the light bulbs in your bedroom for enhanced relaxation during sleep. Consult a pharmacist, holistic specialist or a book on essential oils to determine if one or more could help you to improve your well-being.
(69) Try adopting a raw food diet
This is where you eat only unprocessed and uncooked foods. Often, the damage done to the body by food occurs because of the additives and preservatives that are used in the preparation. While most people find that they cannot sustain this type of diet for an extended time period, some have transformed their life and health through raw food consumption.
(70) You can stop sneezing with Echinacea
This herb has been used for thousands of years to treat the symptoms of the common cold. It is thought to be an excellent immunity booster. There are many different forms of Echinacea currently on the market. Depending on whether you are taking it as a preventative supplement or to treat current symptoms, the dosage may differ.
(71) Cut your dwon on watching television
Believe it or not, television actually induces negative feelings in most viewers as a result of the commonplace violence and gossip. Television viewing is not nearly as relaxing as some people claim. Try giving up your television shows for a week, replacing them with other activities. You will most likely find that you are better rested, happier and less stressed at the end of that week.
(72) Become a nicer person
Be nice. Positive energy is contagious. If you do something nice for someone today, chances are that before the end of the day that person will do something nice for someone else. Holding the door for someone costs you nothing more than a few seconds out of your day, however if that person is having a bad day it might just be the little pick up needed to put them in a better mood. Little things mean a lot, and if you are doing nice things for people, you will begin to feel better about yourself.
(73) Learn from an Alexander technique instructor
The Alexander method is a way to retrain the body to remain correctly postured in order to prevent and eliminate the possibility of problems such as muscle strains, nerve damage, stiff necks and many more. The purpose of this technique is to eliminate unnecessary tension within the body and to teach the body to position itself correctly.
(74) Study Palmistry to remember your dreams
If you are experiencing personal conflicts, feeling stressed or would just like to gain a new level of access to your inner thoughts, consider learning to control your dreams to make them work for you. By concentrating on your hands several times throughout the day, asking yourself if you are dreaming, you will start to remember to look at your hands while dreaming. If you can control your hands in your dreams, you will already be able to change the course of your dreams and to play an interactive part. This can include bringing specific people into your dreams, or even asking specific people to leave them. Try this technique, and you will be amazed the first time that you are dreaming, and realize that you are actually able to do more than just watch what is happening.
(75) Consider color therapy
Try changing the colors in your wardrobe to better suit your emotional needs during any particular time in your life. For example, if you feel that you are in need of a personal change, or that you need to build your self-esteem, consider wearing more purple, as this color is known for its connection with self-healing. If you are stressed, try wearing light blue. Green is a great color to add when you feel like you have recently made a personal accomplishment, since it is a color known for renewing effects.

(17) Try hypnosis to find answers
Although there are many different schools of hypnotherapy over the years, they all center around the idea that in an altered states of consciousness you can find and resolve issues within yourself that you were not able to realize in your conscious state.

(18) Get lasting allergy relief
If you are an allergy suffer, you already know the frustration you get from medications that just don’t work. Sure, they may mask symptoms temporily, but they are not going to provide you any lasting relief. Homeopathic allergy treatment is different. Instead of treating the symptoms, the goal is to strengthen the body to a point where it can resist the allergens that are causing the symptoms. While there are treatments available for the symptoms, a patient can expect to be given medications to strengthen the immune system and create a natural defense.
(19) Perform the healing power of love
Love conquers all. Many holistic practitioners believe that there is no more powerful medicine than love and that simply giving or receiving affection such as a hug can raise the spirits and begin to heal the body. If you are suffering from grief of any sort, love may be all you need to start the healing.
(20) An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Try to eliminate the things that cause you health problems, instead of trying to treat the symptoms. For example, if you are suffering from indigestion it makes more sense to eliminate the foods that are causing the problem than it does to take antacids after the pain starts. Holistic healers are looking to heal the whole body, and therefore it is believed that your first first step is to eliminate the things that are causing you harm. Next, you replace those things with nutrients, etc. that are better for you. This can apply to the body, as well as the mind and the soul.
(21) Try using sulfur for acne relief
For many teens that suffer from acne, it might be worth trying a sulfur based cream especially formulated to work on skin lesions. Sulfur is a naturally occurring substance in the body, and therefore it is completely safe. There are a number of conditions that can be helped by sulfur, in addition to acne. These include liver damage, shortness of breath, pink eye and lactose intolerance.
(22) Treat your skin with Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil supplements are great for your skin and hair. This oil is known for rejuvenation of the skin as well as repairing hair and scalp problems. Consider using a shampoo or body wash that contains the oil in order to have healthier skin and hair.
(23) Listen to your dreams to resolve inner conflicts
Dreams can tell you a lot of information that you might not otherwise realize. Therapists believe that through our dreams, we become aware of personal struggles, fears and internal conflicts. Consider keeping a dream journal, where you record at least the major themes of what you are dreaming. Do this as soon as you can after waking, so that you make sure to get the essence of your dreams. Pay attention to patterns, serial dreams and symbols that seem to reappear often. Find out what these things represent to you by meditating on the symbol or theme, or look them up in a dream dictionary for the generally accepted explanation. While this may not represent the meaning for you, it will give you a place to start.
(24) Improve your diet for a healthier skin
Ask any Holistic specialist who deals with dermatological problems, and he will tell you that most skin problems are related to the foods you eat; and the quality and amount of nutrients that you take into your system. He will also point at food based toxins that seem to be keeping your skin from functioning effectively. Considering that the liver is responsible for filtering most toxins out of the body, one possible treatment that might be suggested is liver detoxification.
(25) Avoid foods with supplements
Holistic nutritionists do not recommend supplements for the sake of adding more nutrients. You should try to obtain the nutrients you need through the foods that naturally contain them. And, if you require supplements, you are far better off just taking supplements. One nutrient that seems to be added to everything these days is calcium. The amount of calcium being added to products like orange juice is so minimal that it really will not help you to overcome a deficiency.
(26) Increase your water intake
Most people will honestly tell you they don't drink nearly enough water. In fact, they have no idea of the amount of water they drink throughout the course of a day. You should be drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. And, this should not include beverages. In order for your body to function at its best, you need to make sure that you are drinking enough. Dehydration can occur when you are not getting enough water in your body, and there are many dangerous and bothersome side effects.
(27) Improve on what you eat
Many people believe that they are following a sound nutritional plan with the diet plans they are on. These same people often do not include fruits and vegetables with every meal. And they often eat meals on the go without giving it a second thought. If you want your body to perform at high-efficiency, you must provide it with high-efficiency foods. This means more whole, raw foods and as few preservatives as possible.
(28) Add more vitamin B to your diet
Foods rich in the B vitamins and B supplements are thought to be some of the most beneficial and are even used to treat respiratory problems including asthma. Foods like brown rice, baked potatoes and fish contain vitamin B. Try adding more to your diet today.
(29) Try using ginger for joint pains
If you experience joint pain or stiffness, you might benefit from ginger caplets, or simply more ginger in your diet. Ginger is an antioxidant that is known to assist the body in preserving cartilage. You can find ginger supplements in any health food store.
(30) Manage stress naturally
Anxiety disorder is one of the most commonly treated medical conditions in the world today. Thankfully, nature provides us with natural stress relievers like passion flower, lemon balm, lavender and valerian, to name a few. Also try essential oils, teas and other forms of extracts for their effectiveness for your anxiety and stress levels.
