How to Use Urine to Cure Fungus

How to Use Urine to Cure Fungus



Using urine to cure athlete's foot fungus was nationally proclaimed by Madonna on the David Letterman show in the 1990s. Human urine is sterile. Fungus can be treated by sterilizing it. Although it is not widely used in America, human urine has been used in medicine for thousands of years. World War II prisoners of war used urine as a disinfectant.









1


Curing fungus requires a combination of treatment. Fungus thrives in stagnant, damp areas, so cleaning up the area where the fungus thrives will begin the eradication process. Washing the area with urine is an effective disinfecting agent.





2


Bathe an area, such as the feet, in urine. The urine bath allows a concentrated sterilizing effect. This is especially useful for athlete's foot fungus. The bathing of the infected area should be done in a tub or on a towel to avoid staining the treatment area.





3


Collecting urine should be done fresh daily. Use of the patient's own urine for urine therapy is recommended. The human body filters everything that passes through the urinary system. Traditional medicine's view of urine is that the body manufacturers this substance as a medicine and it should be used as such.





4


Use the treatment two or three times a day.





5


Find a urine therapy practitioner, although this can be difficult in America. The field of homeopathic medicine is the most likely place to find a medical professional who could offer advice and treatment.

How to Use the Healing Touch Pain Drain Technique

How to Use the Healing Touch Pain Drain Technique



The Pain Drain is an energy technique used in Healing Touch for pain management. This procedure can be used to relieve chronic or acute pain from any condition; relief usually occurs within 3 to 5 minutes. Learn to help someone by following the steps below.









1


Use a pain scale to assess your client's pain level before and after the treatment. A number scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain) will provide a subjective measure of progress.





2


Prepare for treatment by centering yourself and becoming in tune with your client. Stand behind your client and visualize energy being pulled up from the earth through your spine and spreading throughout your body. When you feel the calm flow of healing energy, proceed to the next step.





3


Begin the Pain Drain technique by scanning the problem area with the palms of your hands, moving them back and forth. Try to sense any unusual sensations (throbbing, pulsing, or tingling) in the area.





4


Place your left hand on the painful area with your right hand held downward and away from the body. This guides the congested energy or pain away up the left arm and down the right until it is released out and away from the body.





5


Speed up the process by squeezing and releasing your right hand repeatedly until you feel the energy flowing from the painful site and away from the body. Hold your position until you no longer feel the pull of energy, or your client feels relief.





6


Switch hands placing your right hand on the problem area while holding your left in the air. This guides healing energy from Source (God, Universe, Higher Power or whatever you believe) through you and into the void left by your Pain Drain.





7


Reassess your client's energy field by rescanning your client and checking for leaks. Their problem area should now feel like the rest of the energy field.





8


Complete the Pain Drain by evaluating your client's experience, noting any changes in pain, tension, breathing or skin color. Ask them for feedback.








Tips & Warnings










Know that any energy drained from you client is neutral and does not have a positive or negative quality. Therefore, it dissipates into the Universal Energy Field once it has left the body.








If you are uncertain about having negative energy flowing through you, try envisioning a long tube connecting your hands where the energy can flow through.








At the conclusion of the technique, clear yourself by visualizing any access energy being forced through your feet and into the earth.

How to Use Stinging Nettle as a Natural Allergy Medicine

How to Use Stinging Nettle as a Natural Allergy Medicine



Are you looking for a natural allergy medicine? Does taking prescription or over the counter allergy medication not work for you? That's where stinging nettle (Urtica Dioica) comes in. I use it for my own allergies and I consider it one of the best natural allergy remedies out there.

Stinging Nettles one of my favorite herbs to take daily because that's the best way to make sure that your allergies are under control. It's also rich in healthy nutrients.

The best way to take Stinging Nettle for a natural allergy medicine is in the form of a strong tea. This tea is brewed for longer than the normal time. Even though the tea is strong, the herb is pretty gentle. The following tips will help you in making a cup for yourself.

This article explains how to make a tea that you brew for a while. Some call them "nourishing herbal infusions". But, you don't need to take it this way to reap the benefits. I will also cover the other ways of taking nettle for allergies.







Things You'll Need:





1 cup Dried stinging nettle leaves




1 qt. Mason jar with lid




Boiling water







Other Was to Take Nettle for a Natural Allergy Medicine




1


Take Nettle Tincture for Allergies

You can purchase the tincture for allergies. Mix twenty drops with warm water and drink. Do this in the morning when you wake up and again at night. This is a convenient way to reap the benefits.





2


Brew a Cup of Nettle Tea

I explain how to make a strong tea in the next section. However, you can also just purchase the tea bag or loose tea and make it a cup at a time. Follow the instructions on the package but be sure to steep it for at least 10 minutes.





3


Taking Stinging Nettle Capsules

Another option is to take nettle capsules. This is the most convenient method out of all of them. Just follow the instructions on the package to determine how much to take and when to take it.



Instructions for Making Stinging Nettle Infusion




1


Boil water in a tea kettle or in a non-alluminum pan. Stainless steel is best.





2


Add the dried stinging nettle to the glass mason jar.





3


When water starts boiling, pour over the dried stinging nettle to the top. Secure the lid tightly.





4


Keep the mason jar on the countertop and let the stinging nettle steep fore 4 to 8 hours. I usually do it overnight. When the nettle is ready, it will be a dark green color.





5


Strain the infusion well before use--you don't want to consume the leaves.





6


There are several ways you can serve the stinging nettle infusion. You can pour it over ice and drink it cold, add it to fruit juice, or reheat it and sweeten with honey or drink unsweetened. There are no restrictions. My favorite ways are to pour it over ice or heat it up. I don't need to sweeten it because it is mild tasting.








Tips & Warnings










Make sure the lid is fastened tightly.








You can refrigerate the stinging nettle infusion for 24 hours or so.








Drink 2 to 4 cups a day until your symptoms are relived. After that you can drink a cup a day.








Do not use the root. Only use the leaves.








Do not take stinging nettle if you are taking medicine that prevents blood clots. Nettle leaves contain vitamin K.

How to Take Garlic for Health

How to Take Garlic for Health



Garlic (Allium sativum) is a member of the lily family. Although of Asiatic origin, its cultivation has spread throughout the world over the past 200 years and is popular as both a food and medicine. The following steps will help you decide whether or not to take this herbal supplement.









1


Read about the historical uses of garlic. The medical use of garlic is at least 3,000 years old, and Hippocrates recommended it for battle wounds. More recently, it was taken in France to protect gravediggers from plague in the 18th century and to prevent gangrene in World Wars I and II.





2


Look at the results from modern scientific testing of garlic. Many clinical studies have been conducted on garlic and some have shown that it helps prevent arteriosclerosis, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and improves the immune system. The results are not conclusive on this point and independent trials on garlic as a dietary supplement have not shown beneficial effects.





3


Realize that the Food and Drug Administration regards garlic taken as a dietary supplement to be generally safe with very low toxicity but has not approved it as effective in the treatment or prevention of any disease.





4


Study the side effects of garlic. These most commonly include bad breath, bloating, body odor and a stinging sensation on the skin if handled too much. More rarely, it can cause dizziness, headaches and fatigue.





5


Take no more than the recommended dosage of garlic. Typically, two tablets containing 200 mg of freeze-dried garlic each can be taken three times per day.
