Some remedies work while other dont work. You just need to do the research to see what works

I always like to use the gentlest steps first with my health, and move up the ladder only if it doesn’t result in the desired result. Sometimes we’re too quick to write something off without researching why the relief didn’t turn out the way we thought it would. You’ve given some very thoughtful advice that we can all use, Thanks for sharing! (Stopping by from the Simply Natural Saturday Blog Hop)

Using cloves of garlic for yeast infections really works really well if you can get past the gross factor, lol! Thanks for sharing over at the Homesteader hop!

Thanks for your insight Carol, those are some great tips as well! That’s one of the things I love so much about natural medicine – it’s tailored to specifically fit the individual instead of just a pill for every ill mentality. I had to consult another natural health professional when my husband got very sick last month, even though I’m usually able to treat everything at home. Sometimes its best to get outside expertise like you said 🙂

Great ideas Jamie. All of them are SO true!
I can add a bit more, if you are interested. Forgive me if you feel that this is what you are saying! (LoL) <3
We need to take our herbal remedies for 2-4 days after the symptoms have subsided. IF we stop taking the remedy too soon, a complete healing can be interrupted and symptoms can re-occur or the 'imbalance' can take root somewhere else.

Sometimes, it's a matter of which form of which herb is appropriate for specific situations. For example, water extraction vs alcohol or even vinegar, can result in a different combination of healing qualities.

Herbal healing is much more than a POST online ~ I have trained many years under amazing teachers and practice as a professional for the last 15 or so years. EACH person and situation is so different and I take into account many variables before crating the medicine. I have lost count of the number of people who have come along to see me, with a chronic issue that was remedied quickly — even after months or years of self-care didn't do the trick. I fully support self-reliance and of course, I write weekly on my own blog with the idea of teaching people to look after themselves and families.. Our bodies, as we know, are intricate machines and, sometimes, a personalized formula, created by a knowledgeable herbalist is the best way to realize a great response.
