Remedies for life are made to share!

Achey legs or feet while in bed trying to sleep?  Restless Leg Syndrome challenges? Growing pains in legs?

This is my favorite remedy! 

Acquire Ivory Soap cakes/bars; find the original version rather than the recent scented versions.

Take the cake out of the wrapper and place it  at the foot of the mattress; I put them under the bedpad.  Position the cakes so that your feet can touch them while laying in bed.

It is best to change out the cakes every few months, and especially if they start to turn a rusty color (the discoloration that occurs is extracted toxins from your feet or whatever part of your body the inflammation or pain is draining from.)

If you can refrain your skepticism until you try it I know you will be surprised.  And...there are no side-effects or long-term damage risks! It really works!

Another great remedy for quick relief of muscle cramps is a teaspoon full of Mustard, the condiment.  Any brand of Mustard will do.  Swallow 1 tsp when muscle is cramping and it will relieve within 2 minutes.

The best natural remedy I know of to eliminate Bunions:

Castor Oil; medifcinal grade or food grade, it doesn't matter really.

Castor Oil is comprised of ingredients that address inflammation and congested tissues such as cysts and fibrocystic tissue and tumors as well as callous growth such as bunions and corns and ingrown cuticle around nails.

If you have fungus growth on the tissue over or around the bunion then treat the area, the entire foot if necessary, with Skin Cap first.  Apply the Skin Cap at least 2 x daily until the fungus is totally suffocated and the tissue is dry.  www.skincap.com   *I will describe Skin Cap below.

Once the fungus is dead (it could take many weeks to kill the fungus) then apply a generous amount of Castor Oil to the bunion and surrounding tissue. Rub the oil deeply into the tissue/bunion at least 2 x daily. This will take many months if you are consistent with daily application.  Be patient!

Thanks to Rosemary I also learned that if you apply the Castor Oil to the inside of a bandaid, on the gauze liner, you can treat the bunion continually throughout the day.  Be sure to secure the bandaid tightly over the bunion once the liner is saturated and replace it with a new bandaid every day.  Rosemay actually expidited the shrinkage of her bunion by using the bandaid all day in addition to rubbing the oil directly into the tissue.

It is worth a try!  What do you have to loose?  A bunion!! 

* This also works well on any type of callous like corns and such.

Salt as a remedy

Salt has received quite a bit of flack over the decades and so I would like you to know of its merits when caring for your biology.

Sea Salt is a terrific remedy for acid indigestion and nausea.  Why do you think pregnant women in their first trimester (providing they struggle with nausea then) crave salty foods?  

Salt breaks down acids and binds to Potassium as it travels through the blood chemistry in order to maintain balance.  Yes, salt can cause edema and even elevated heart rate and/or blood pressure in those who struggle with lymph-edema and hyptertension and yet salt can stabilize a low blood pressure episode in an instant.

Drinking 1/8 teaspoon of Sea Salt crystals in 1 quart of drinking water can rehydrate the biology very quickly and can flush the kidneys thoroughly.  I drink salinated water for a few days each quarter for a good flush.  It is actually refreshing once you finish your first cup!

Sucking on a Sea Salt crystal can mitigate nausea and sometimes stabilize light-headedness or dizziness. 

Epsom Salts, of course, are a wonderful remedy and primarily used externally in this century.  Epsom Salts are good for detoxifying and thus a good warm bath with these salts can clean you out through the largest filtration organ; your skin.  These salts also reduce inflammation, pain and fever.
