Introduction

When we have health concerns we normally start with a trip to the doctor. This is always the best place to start as western medicine has come on in leaps and bounds over the years and many complaints can be resolved with modern drugs and medicines.
However if the health concern is not getting better then we tend to start looking in different areas for help. My first choice is always the internet as you can almost guarantee somebody else somewhere has experienced the same complaint and will have been down the same route of searching for a curative remedy.
I tend to work on the basis that if we go back to our inbuilt intuition and take responsibility for our health with diet, and exercise for mind, body and spirit, this will keep our immune systems healthy and keep us healthy.
Of course at times things go wrong and we end with a health concern that cannot be easily fixed, this is when some of the ideas on this page may be beneficial to you.
I do not give any guarantees with any of the ideas below, it’s your body and as such it's your responsibility to find and try the healing that's right for you, but keep an open mind and most of all be positive, intention is our best medicine!

Urine Therapy

The term urine therapy (also urotherapy , urinotherapy or uropathy ) refers to various applications of human urine for medicinal or cosmetic purposes, including drinking of one's own urine and massaging one's skin with one's own urine. A practitioner of urine therapy is sometimes called an uropath.
Promoters of urine therapy believe urine to have many preventative and curative powers. Some cultures have traditionally used urine as a medicine, especially India's, where it is prescribed by the Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi, which (among other uses and prescriptions) suggests massaging one's skin with aged, concentrated urine. In traditional Tibetan medicine, examination of the patient's urine is one of the main sources of information for a diagnosis.
Urine's main constituents are water and urea.
However, it contains small quantities of many hormones and metabolites, including corticosteroids.
Urea has been claimed by some doctors to have an anti-cancer effect.
In addition, the other chemicals in urine might have some effect if ingested.
In 1997, Joseph Eldor, of the Theoretical Medicine Institute in Jerusalem, published a paper suggesting that because cancer cells release antigens which appear in the urine, oral autourotherapy could spur the intestinal lymphatic system to produce antibodies against these antigens.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar, that wonderful old-timers home remedy, cures more ailments than any other folk remedy!
The reported cures from drinking Apple Cider Vinegar are numerous. They include cures for allergies, sinus infections, acne, high cholesterol, flu, chronic fatigue, Candia acid reflux, sore throats, contact dermatitis, arthritis, and gout.
Research worldwide supports and commends what Hippocrates (the father of medicine) found and treated his patients with apple in 400 B.C.
He discovered that natural, undistilled apple cider vinegar is a powerful cleansing and healing elixir "a naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs and bacteria" for a healthier, stronger, longer life!

Healing With Honey (Apitherapy)

For at least 2700 years, honey has been used by humans to treat a variety of ailments through topical application, but only recently have the antiseptic and antibacterial properties of honey been chemically explained.
Treatment with honey is called apitherapy, which includes replenishing energy, enhancing physical stamina and improving immune systems.

Wound Gels that contain antibacterial honey and have regulatory approval for wound care are now available to help conventional medicine in the battle against drug resistant strains of bacteria MRSA .

As an antimicrobial agent honey may have the potential for treating a variety of ailments. One New Zealand researcher says a particular type of honey may be useful in treating MRSA infections. Antibacterial properties of honey are the result of the low water activity causing osmosis, hydrogen peroxide effect, and high acidity. Next time you burn or cut yourself and are without a tube of antiseptic give honey a try.

Natural Sea Salt

Salt is a dietary mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride that is essential for animal life, but toxic to most land plants.
Human beings have used canning and artificial refrigeration for the preservation of food for approximately the last two hundred years, however, in the millennia before then, salt provided the best-known food preservative, especially for meat.
The harvest of salt from the surface of the salt lake Yuncheng in Shanxi, China dates back to at least 6000 BC, making it one of the oldest verifiable salt works.

Some advocates for sea salt assert that unrefined sea salt is healthier than refined salts. However, completely raw sea salt is bitter because of magnesium and calcium compounds, and thus is rarely eaten. The refined salt industry cites scientific studies saying that raw sea and rock salts do not contain enough iodine salts to prevent iodine deficiency diseases.

Unrefined sea salts are also commonly used as ingredients in bathing additives and cosmetic products. One example are bath salts, which uses sea salt as its main ingredient and combined with other ingredients used for its healing and therapeutic effects.

Sodium is one of the primary electrolytes in the body. All four cationic electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium) are available in unrefined salt, as are other vital minerals needed for optimal bodily function. Too much or too little salt in the diet can lead to muscle cramps , dizziness, or even an electrolyte disturbance , which can cause severe, even fatal, neurological problems. Drinking too much water, with insufficient salt intake, puts a person at risk of water intoxication ( hyponatremia ).
Salt is even sometimes used as a health aid, such as in treatment of dysautonomia .

Rock and sea salt is usually referred and sold as Natrum Muriaticum in homeopathy, and purported by followers to be a deep acting and powerful curative when taken over long periods of time.
