Aloe Vera: Benefits, Gel for Skin and Internal Uses

Aloe Vera: Benefits, Gel for Skin and Internal Uses IMPORTANT: The clear gel inside the aloe vera leaf is generally safe for external use, but the yellow layer just beneath the rind (the latex, rich in aloin) is a strong laxative and can be irritating. For internal use, rely only on standardized, decolorized products (aloin-free) and do not exceed the recommended amounts. Taken internally, aloe vera is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in young children, and in cases of inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction, severe kidney disease, and acute hemorrhoids. The latex can interact with diuretics, heart medications (digoxin), and antidiabetic drugs. Before applying the gel to large areas of skin, do a patch test on a small spot. Aloe vera is not a substitute for medical treatment; for severe burns, deep wounds, or persistent digestive problems, consult a doctor. ...

Sea Buckthorn Oil: Benefits, Uses and How to Use It Correctly

Sea Buckthorn Oil: Benefits, Uses and How to Use It Correctly IMPORTANT: Sea buckthorn oil is generally well tolerated, but there are situations in which it should be used with caution. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before taking it internally.

When applying it to the skin, do a patch test first on a small area, especially if you have sensitive skin. Sea buckthorn oil does not replace prescribed medical treatment and should not be used as a substitute for medical care in serious conditions. ...

Natural remedies for tendinitis

Natural Remedies for Tendinitis

Natural Remedies for Tendinitis If you have ever felt a sharp pain in your heel with the first steps of the morning, or a nagging ache in your shoulder every time you lift your arm, you have probably dealt with tendinitis. It is a frustrating condition, especially because it limits the very activities you do every day: cooking, gardening, exercising, even typing. In Romanian villages, grandmothers used to say that “a knife’s edge dulls if you cut too much,” and that is essentially what happens to our tendons when we overwork them. ...

Licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra) with green pinnate leaves

Licorice Root: Benefits for Throat and Stomach, Uses and How to Prepare It

Licorice Root: Benefits for Throat and Stomach, Uses and How to Prepare It IMPORTANT: Licorice root is not a gentle herb you can drink daily, for months on end, without limits. It contains glycyrrhizin, a compound that, in large amounts or over long periods, can raise blood pressure, lower potassium levels in the blood, and cause water retention and swollen legs. It is contraindicated for people with high blood pressure, kidney disease, heart disease, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and anyone taking diuretics, corticosteroids, digoxin, or blood-pressure medication. If you follow a long-term treatment or have a chronic condition, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using licorice. Do not give it to young children without medical advice. Used short term and in reasonable doses, however, licorice root remains one of the most treasured remedies of folk tradition. ...
