Eighty-one percent of U. adults take these remedies as a first line of defense against headaches , indigestion, aching joints, and other minor health complaints. In other parts of the world, people often rely on a different approach.

Homeopathic remedies are some of the best-selling over-the-counter medicines in France. And all over the globe, people have used food as medicine for centuries. While conventional drugstore pharmaceuticals can provide temporary relief, their benefits often pale in comparison to simpler treatments.

The drugs usually have side effects, too: Research has linked common painkillers, such as acetaminophen, to liver damage, and long-term use of antacids to B12 deficiency and bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.

Conversely, natural remedies are often easy to use, effective, and affordable — and they have few known side effects. You can probably find some of them in your kitchen cupboard right now. Meanwhile, knowing a few home remedies is a good way to take control of your health, Ashe says. For occasional minor health complaints, these simple remedies can provide quick relief, naturally.

At the first sign of a headache , many of us habitually reach for aspirin or ibuprofen. Yet research shows that long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs can lead to gastrointestinal GI distress, kidney damage, and elevated liver enzymes, a sign of inflamed liver cells.

NSAIDs can also worsen hypertension. Likewise, taking too much acetaminophen can harm the kidneys, intestines, heart, and liver. Magnesium glycinate, on the other hand, has none of these side effects and is remarkably effective for headaches. It also supports serotonin production, a neurotransmitter involved in the onset of migraines.

Thousands of years ago, Chinese sailors chewed gingerroot to relieve their seasickness; today, many air travelers swear by it for motion sickness.

Ginger naturally increases tone and motility in the GI tract, helping digestion — unlike the conventional bismuth-subsalicylate antacid, which mainly coats the stomach for temporary relief. Lipman, author of How to Be Well , regularly prescribes ginger , sometimes with peppermint, for stomach discomfort.

For those prone to motion sickness when traveling, ginger tablets can work wonders. You may need to address potential food allergies or high stress levels. Recent studies suggest it can help regulate blood sugar and build good gut bacteria. Lipman, meanwhile, recommends it as an effective solution for heartburn , along with another age-old remedy: digestive bitters.

His prescription: Mix a dropperful of digestive bitters and a tablespoon of raw, unfiltered apple-cider vinegar in a small glass of water and sip it with meals.

These tinctures are a short-term remedy, Lipman notes. This item will be shipped by appointment through our delivery partner. Format: Hardcover. ISBN: Select ISBN Ship to me Checking availability….
