Do you feel irritation on your skin or do you have a sore throat? Nature offers foolproof remedies for these two symptoms.
Nowadays we are used to resorting to classic medicine purchased at a pharmacy to relieve any physical discomfort. Yet, once upon a time man did not have such advanced technologies available, so he could rely solely and exclusively on nature.
Precisely in relation to this, in the next paragraph we will list the names of some plant particular – perfect for fighting certain ailments such as dry skin, cough, but also sore throat and gingivitis. Let’s see all the details together.
Irritated skin, cough and sore throat: the natural remedies you do not imagine
In nature there are some plants considered real natural medicines and analgesics. Inside them, it is possible to find certain substances incredibly beneficial for the body, able to relieve flu symptoms, headaches, toothaches, but also coughs and joint pains.
First of all, we cannot fail to mention the cloves, whose properties are still exploited to treat gingivitis and headaches. The same goes for the onions: in fact, they are real painkillers and natural anti-inflammatories, perfect for counteracting the symptoms of sore throat, earache and insect bites.
Furthermore, history also provides (almost) scientific proof of the potency of another particular plant: we are talking about the rosemary. In the Middle Ages the derived oil was used as a pain reliever because of the plant’s ability to stimulate blood flow. It was therefore perfect for muscle aches, but also for back pain and to dissolve various tensions.
We then move on to mint, in particular the peppermint, perfect for relieving the symptoms of cervical headache and neck muscles. In relation to this, it is possible to apply the oil on the contracted area to be able to enjoy the immediate benefits, but it is also excellent if rubbed on the temples. In addition to acting as an analgesic, the treatment will be particularly pleasant thanks to the delicate and enveloping scent.
Finally, we conclude with the garlic, which has always been considered a real natural antibiotic. Think that this very common ingredient was used in ancient Egypt to treat tumors, snake bites and heart problems. In addition, the EMA (European Medicines Agency) has decided to study garlic bulbs to discover their beneficial effects on the human body. In short, nature offers a series of valid alternatives to classic pharmacy medicines, which – in any case – should not be used too frequently.
