What are your favorite herbal remedies?
I don't use very many of them, but I think the ones that I do use are pretty good. Personally, I like green tea. It's good for stomach aches and stress. And, it can be caffeine free, too, so you can drink it if you have a migraine.
Cranberry juice is also good if you have infections sometimes.

i didn't know that about cranberry juice. I just drink it all the time cause I like the taste.

I like Chamomile Tea

This popular beverage herb can calm jangled nerves, relieve stomach distress, prevent ulcers, speed their healing, and help fight infection

I just have any herbal remedies as long as they taste good and make me feel better, most of the time its green tea, sometimes cranberry juice

camomile tea is not only good for every illness and sleeping at night, but it's also good for a face mask (if you add egg, and fresh mint, and honey)

I heard about the garlic has some good properties but I don't know if is true , I also know the Chamomile Tea can use as a digestive and the mentha piperita (yerbebuena in spanish) tea is good when you can sleep

I see this is an old post, but this is one of my favorite topics so I hope the moderators don't mind me dregging this one back up.

I take a lot of herbs and supplements. I really think they keep me going.
Some years ago I actually had a doctor (well, ok, a chriopractor) advise me to take raw adreanel gland supplents for my asmatha. I was having frequent attacks, 2 or 3 times a week. It made a huge difference, cutting me back to maybe once a week. I eventually discovered the cause and eliminated it and have had only minor problems since.

For pain from injuries, especially bumps and bruises, zinc helps.
Female problems some years ago were fixed right up with Black Cohosh.
While he hates popping pills, my better half has a lot less muscle cramps and spasms if I can get hime to take magniesum/calcium, not a herb of course, but a good supplement nonetheless, and I have to start somewhere with him!

I take vitimain E and D in the winter only for the most part, it helps greatly with my dry hide.
On a daily basis, I take echinacea, St. Johns wart, and gensing. I had a hard time finding the wart for a long time, and I swear my concentration just vainished and I felt like my brain was turning to mush. When I finally found some again I noticed some irritability after starting to take it again, so I just backed off and took less and skipped days between, until it leveled off. Now at least I can remember my name when I wake up in the morning.

As far as I am concerned, the jury is still out on glucosamine& chondroitin. Recently saw a news bit on it, they say it doesn't help, but doesn't hurt either. I really can't tell much difference with or without it. Lots of people swear by it. I still get pretty stiff and sore, but who knows, maybe if I wasn't taking it I couldn't move at all!

That's interesting about the glucosamine, sheepdog. When my dog had surgery on her knee, the doctor prescribed glucosamine tablets for her recovery and said it would help with her recovery and strengthen her joints. I noticed the supplements at Costco and decided to pick them up there since it was much cheaper than pet meds. I started taking it too since I had surgery on my elbow last year after a really bad accident. I noticed that there's less pain and stiffness in my arm. When we forget to give our dog her pills or only do it once a day, she does tend to limp and hobble around a bit. Not that it would stop her from running all over the yard.
On the news today, there was a segment about echinacea. Apparently, research has shown that people are less prone to developing a cold and usually recover from a cold at least a day faster than those who didn't take it. I thought that was pretty interesting because previous reports said that echinacea isn't effective.

i don't have a lot of herbs at home, my parents don't even want to plant some. but we have some other things in our garden that i usually use for treating some stuff. before we had aloe vera at home and i use it for my hair (when i still had length on my hair). i was advised to use the meat of the aloe (you get a portion, a leaf as i call it, then remove the green part or slice it in half and the clear, sticky part is the meat), crush it and rub it on your scalp. they say it helps grow more hair, but now i don't believe that anymore

we also use guava leaves to wash the wounds. actually guava leaves has been used by a lot of local people already in treating wounds. in the provinces and during the old days, they use guava leaves after getting circumcised (they don't have the technology in the provinces, nor doctors, more like quack doctors). basically to treat wounds, you have to get leaves of guava and boil it in water. the "tea" is then used as an antiseptic on the wound.

i wanted to buy sage (and probably plant it if possible) to make sage tea. i've read that it's good for those who perspire a lot. i perspire a lot and sometimes it gets distracting. i know perspiration is good for your system to get rid the body of toxins, but i think i perspire too much that i become dehydrated most of the time.
