Herbs have been used by our forefathers hundreds of year ago to treat various diseases. Nowadays we can make use of the knowledge of our ancestors to keep our bodies and minds healthy. Here we would like to discuss some of the common herbs you can find in your closes pharmacy or supermarket.

Let us start with dandelion, a great healer. If you start drinking one cup of dandelion tea thrice a day it will help you with hypertension. The recipe is 1 tsp of dried leaves is covered with 200 ml of boiled water. In 10 minutes your tea is ready.

Another great bulb that helps fighting such problems as LDL cholesterol, flu, including H1N1 influenza, ascarides and many more is garlic. About 5 cloves of garlic a day are extremely helpful. The only problem with garlic is its smell.

Ripe hawthorn berries are a great option for your stamina. 2 tsp of berries should be steeped in 1 cup of boiled water for about 20 minutes. Drink this tea three times a day and enjoy the healthier feel and look.

To regulate high or low blood pressure, add to your salads pigweed. Your salad will taste better and you will get better.

Attars have always been used in Oriental practices for healing purposes. For instance, adding lavender, orange or lemon oil to your body lotion will help you to relax and will stimulate the regenerating processes in the cells of your skin. Almond oil, grape seed oil or jojoba oil are great moisturizers. Indian ginseng stops the release of stress hormones and helps you to relax, simultaneously curing high blood pressure, insomnia, etc. If you suffer from PMS, headaches, or back pain, use noni plant. In case it is hard to find one, use aloe vera instead.

There are a few things that you should remember when or if you decided to start herbal therapy. First of all, to achieve some result you have to give up smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. Also avoid eating salty and hot dishes, as they cause cell swelling and increase blood pressure. Also, coffee should be prohibited from your daily ration.

In addition, take some time a day to spend on a fresh air, relaxing and meditating. Gardening, reading, and other things that are calm and bring positive feelings are a must. Yoga or reflexology are also highly recommended. Try to keep your thoughts and emotions tuned to positive feelings. Relax whenever you feel like relaxing but do not try to turn it into a laziness. Swimming is also a thing you should consider. Water is considered to take away the daily pains and stress. If you can’t swim try, a warm relaxing bath or Jacuzzi. Also, eat as much vegetables and fruit as possible, or at least drink freshly squeezed juices. Start you day with a glass of plain boiled water half an hour before the meal. It will clear your stomach mucus and food remnants. Enjoy every minute of your life and be happy.

Wanting a healthy cup of coffee, drink one of these with the ganoderma mushroom also know for its healing qualities and given to us by the Chinese for centuries.
