Natural remedies for overactive bladder IMPORTANT: Overactive bladder can have treatable causes that need diagnosis: urinary infections, bladder stones, tumors, neurological problems (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, stroke), diabetes, side effects of medications. If you have frequent, urgent urinations with or without involuntary leaks, see a urologist for urinalysis, urine culture, ultrasound and possibly cystoscopy. The natural remedies below support treatment but do not replace it. ...

Natural Remedies for Laryngitis IMPORTANT: Acute laryngitis usually heals in 5-7 days with vocal rest and simple remedies. However, if hoarseness persists beyond 3 weeks, if you develop difficulty breathing, severe painful swallowing, high fever or stridor (wheezing noise on inhalation), see a doctor urgently. In small children, laryngitis can rapidly progress to croup (laryngotracheitis) which requires immediate medical attention. Do you remember that morning feeling, when you try to say “hello” and out comes a broken croak, or nothing at all? Laryngitis is one of those conditions that does not necessarily put you in bed, but leaves you without your most important communication tool: your voice. It appears suddenly, often after a cold or after an evening when you spoke too loud (a party, a football match, a heated argument), and it ruins your plans for several days. ...

Natural Remedies for Stretch Marks IMPORTANT: Stretch marks are skin scars formed by tearing of collagen and elastin fibres in the deep dermis. Once formed, they cannot be completely removed with any natural or cosmetic remedy, but they can be visibly softened, especially if they are still red or purple (recent stretch marks). White, mature stretch marks are much harder to treat. For significant results in severe cases, a dermatologist may recommend laser treatments, microneedling or chemical peeling. ...

Natural Remedies for Migraines IMPORTANT: Severe, frequent migraines or those with unusual neurological symptoms (atypical aura, weakness, speech problems, loss of vision) must be investigated by a neurologist.

If “the worst headache of your life” appears suddenly, call emergency services immediately, it could be a brain hemorrhage. ...

Natural remedies for tennis elbow IMPORTANT: Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) generally heals within 6-12 months with conservative treatment. If pain is severe, if you cannot grip objects at all, or if you notice progressive weakness in your hand, consult an orthopedic doctor to rule out tendon tears or other conditions. You don’t need to play tennis to get “tennis elbow.” In fact, most people with this condition have never touched a racket. Painting walls, chopping wood, working intensively with a mouse, repeatedly gripping tools, even wringing out laundry can cause lateral epicondylitis. Any activity that repeatedly stresses the forearm extensors (the muscles that lift the wrist and fingers) can lead to this annoying problem. ...

Hypotension can sometimes be a sign of cardiac, endocrine, or neurological conditions that require treatment. ...
