INSOMNIA NATURES REMEDIES

Insomnia Remedies
Note: do not use citrus fruit, or juice before bed time. It will keep you away.
It can be frustrating to wake up at three in the morning and not be able to go back to sleep or lay awake until you finally fall asleep. This is often debilitating, and an increasingly common condition:Insomnia affects about 15 to 20 percent of the population at any one time. The causes are many, and range from temporary stress, anxiety, ongoing chronic problems, or, a bad mattress, uncomfortable bedroom, bad mate and difficulties,life changes or lifestyles.
Insomnia can manifest itself in three ways: difficulty falling asleep, inability to stay asleep, and waking too early. I have added on other post many more herbs that could make this post longer but to keep it short will refrain from doing so. (Catnip: for small children, see: Lobelia tincture i.e.)

Chamomile: is a traditional herb used to treat insomnia.Herbal remedies are ideal for many, because few of them interfere with medications. The following supplements have been known to assist in relaxation and the ability to sleep soundly. They should be taken about 45 minutes before bedtime no earlier.

Valerian: Valerian is used as an effective and gentle sleep aid for the relief of occasional sleeplessness. Its said to take 900 mg of the dried herb prior to bedtime. Start with a low dosage and build up over a couple of weeks. Check the label
Chamomile: Chamomile has traditionally been used in herbal medicine as a calmative and/or sleep aid. Take two teaspoons of the dried herb in tea, one to three times daily. Take the herbs together for an increased effect of relaxation.

Skullcap: Skullcap is a traditional nervine, or an herb that has a relaxing effect on the central nervous system. Skullcap is also a complementary herb that works very well with other herbs. Take 1200 mg 45 minutes before bedtime.

Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha is a traditional Ayurvedic (Indian) herb used for calming the mind and promoting regular sleep patterns. Some take 1200 mg daily before bedtime. Take with milk for MAY improved absorption.

Watch these three: A lack of nutrients can sometimes cause insomnia. Nutrients often needed are calcium, magnesium and vitamin B6 and vitamin B1 (niacin).
Calcium: Take 500 mg with food before going to bed.
Magnesium: Take 250 mg with food before going to bed. Take the calcium and magnesium together; they are sometimes sold as a single supplement.
Vitamins B6 and B1: Take 50 mg B6 and 500 mg niacin taken together before going to bed.

• Stick to a regular sleep schedule. Go to bed and get up at the same time, regardless of the day of the week or whether you've slept.
• Avoid alcohol, caffeine and tobacco.• Have a leisurely bath with several drops of lavender oil before going to bed.
• Put a few drops of lavender oil on your pillow.
• Have a bedtime drink of hot milk and honey.• Do not take commercial sleeping remedies at the same time as herbal remedies.
• Exercise regularly—try forty minutes walking four times a week.
Insomnia can be a temporary but troubling problem; but remember that it can also be a symptom of a medical condition requiring treatment. If insomnia persists for more than a few weeks, be sure to consult your health care provider.
Lastly, check your herbs and or medications for side-effect that maybe interfering with sleep.
With the help of Valerian, Chamomile, Astragulas, Ashwagandha, Mata tea or Skullcap and a relaxing bedtime ritual, sleep should come more easily. When it does, a rested, replenished, restored sense of being can return. Their are herbs that are not organic and will not work as well. Get PLANTS AND SEEDS from a reliable source.

PASSION FLOWER
Sleep Disorders:***With over 20 years of experience in the field of sleep medicine, Dr. Robert Rosenberg , discussed the science of sleep, and the various causes of insomnia. He also addressed some of the bizarre disorders people experience while they are sound asleep-- not only sleepwalking but eating, having sex, and even driving. Medications like Ambien can cause amnesia, he said, and in some cases people's "central pattern generators" are activated in the brain stem, so that they're able to perform complex motor functions such as driving a car, "even though on electroencephalograms they're in slow wave sleep."

People who suffer from depression or anxiety often have insomnia, he reported. Other contributing factors to insomnia include overuse of electronic devices (sometimes associated with work) in the bedroom, excessive ruminations and worrying, and lack of regular exercise, he detailed. Sleep serves a variety of important functions including the production of growth hormone, and the brain cleaning itself of toxins. It's been found that taking a power nap (20-30 minutes) can provide a person with 2 hours of alertness, Dr. Rosenberg reported. Melatonin supplements can be effective in helping a person get to sleep, as well as various types of audio (white noise, binaural beats), and aromatherapy (lavender), USE UNDER PILLOW?

HEALING POWERS OF PAPAYA (papaw)

Much more than a Stomach and Bowel Remedy;
Try using Papaya (Papaw) if you have digestive problem (Stomach-bowels) Fruit as medicine! Papaya contains papain, a remarkable, protein-dissolving enzyme that eases many stomach ailments and is an exceptional aid to digestion. A rich source of minerals and vitamins A, C and E, papain also breaks down wheat gluten, which may be of great help those with Celiac disease. Papaya now falls under the non-organic fruits. To be affective it must be organic to heal..

The fruits, leaves, seeds and latex are all used medicinally. Papaya Fruit is eaten as a melon, included in salads and when unripe, it is cooked as a vegetable. The seeds are said to have a similar flavor as capers. The green fruit stems and leaves are a rich source of gummy, milky, white latex that contains the powerful enzyme, papain (in latex and exudates).
This protein-dissolving substance has not only been widely used for stomach and digestive disorders, but it is also included in commercial preparations as a meat tenderizer, chewing gum and as a stabilizing agent that is used to clarify beer. Some of the constituents included in Papaya Fruit are the fermenting agent myrosin, another important enzyme (chymopapain), butanoic acid, methyl butanoate, benzylglucosinolate, linalool, cis- and trans-linalool oxide,
alpha-linolenic acid, alpha-phellandrene, gamma-terpinene, 4-terpineol, terpinolene, methyl-thiocyanate and benzyl-isothiocyanate, rutin, resin, lycopene, malic acid, methyl salicylate, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, beta-carotene, B-vitamins and vitamins A, C and E.

Papaya
As an excellent treatment for digestive disorders and extremely useful for any disturbances of the gastrointestinal tract. Papain, the powerful enzyme in Papaya, helps to dissolve and digest protein, thus easing stomach ailments and indigestion. (Because papain breaks down tough meat fibers, it is often used in rstaurants and is the major ingredient in commercial meat tenderizers!) Papaya has been effective in easing heartburn and is given to treat dyspepsia and gastric catarrh. Papaya also stimulates the appetite.
Papaya's enzyme, papain, not only digests protein, but it extends its activity to digesting carbohydrate. Papain also breaks down wheat gluten, which may be helpful for those
suffering from Celiac disease. Those who have difficulty digesting starchy foods, such as breads, cereals and potatoes,might find great relief in including Papaya in their diets.
Papaya helps to settle a nervous and upset stomach and the queasy feelings often associated with travel and motion sickness. It has also been helpful in relieving morning
sickness.
The papain in Papaya is thought to relieve acute prostate Inflammation and may be very helpful in cases of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Clinical studies in Russia found
that papain treatment reversed rectal lesions induced by extreme prostate enlargement in over 97 percent of the men reated.
Papaya is said to stimulate the bowels in times of constipation and is also believed to be useful in treating Inflammatory bowel disorders.
The SEEDS and the  papain in unripe Papaya's gummy milk sap has been known to kill parasites by digesting them and has been used in herbal medicine to kill and expel worms. (Papaya has even been used or termite control.) Papaya's latex also works as a de-wormer
by its purgative actions, increasing the movement of intestinal contents.
(Use with honey and papapa seedsy for children) Remember all organically grown seeds kill parasites.
The investigate of papain in Papaya is currently undergoing studies. Its efficacy in treating the herpes simplex virus and herpes zoster (shingles).
Another papayan enzyme, chymopapain, has been used in the treatment of slipped spinal disc and pinched nerves.
Extracts of the pulp of Papaya Fruit have showed bacteriostatic properties when tested against Staphylococcus aureua, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Bacillus subtilis
and other bacteria in vitro.
Since many stomach problems are the direct result of indigestion, use of Papaya appears to help prevent many ailments. It stimuPlates digestive acids and the production of bile, which may also lead to a healthier liver and pancreas.
Papaya is said to have compounds that act as the female hormone, estrogen and has been used in folk medicine to promote milk production, facilitate childbirth and increase the female libido. In some parts of the world, it is used to induce menstruation and is considered a uterine stimulant.




In other cultures, Papaya has many medicinal applications. Such as, treatment of poisonous snakebites, Papaya helps to degrade the venom protein in the blood, thus losing its deadly strength. It is used topically to rid the pain of insect stings, and it is said that when applied to heal wounds It can digest dead tissue without affecting the surrounding live tissue. In Jamaica, the gummy latex of the unripe papaya fruit is slowly dripped onto warts and corns, shriveling them, and they fall off. The juice has been used as a facial wash to remove freckles. THE NEW DIET FAD... is organic papaya leave for weight. (Europe)

STOMACH ULCERS REMEDY (H-pylori bacteria)

This might make you think twice about passing up broccoli sprouts. They say that these tasty sprouts could rid the stomach of the toughest strain called Hpylori bacteria that’s known cause ulcers.


Broccoli sprouts powerful disease fighter sulforaphane that is sulfur in and out of the cells that cures the infection.
Test tube studies show this natural compound wipes out the toughest H.P.B. even those resistant to regular antibiotics. This natural sulfur compound acts as a natural antibiotic.


It may also boost production of anti-cancer enzymes.
A test was done showing 7 out of 9 participants had no signs of H. pylori after seven days. Afterwards tested them again for the bacteria on the 35-day and 7 out of 9 were still negative. More test need to be done but who’s going to pay for it? And why would they pay for it?


Broccoli sprouts is a good source of fiber, C and calcium. It's a cruciferous belonging to the brassica plant family. (Contains “glucosinolates” that’s 20-50 times more than regular broccoli)
I wrote this for my daughter Katherine, she likes to pop pain pills and now her stomach is in a very sensitive shape. I hope it helped her as well as others.


Caution: NSAIDS and Acetaminophen shut down enzymes that guard your stomach lining and increases your odds of getting ulcers.
•Never too hot or cold drinks
•Do probiotic therapy with good bicillious’s
•Avoid drugs and pain relievers (especially on an empty stomach) Remember the stomach is the hub of your wheel or system. (see Iridology pges)
•Lemon water in the mornings , turn the body to the correct pH
•Fibrous whole fresh organic foods such as in the “mild food” category
•No harsh beverages: alcohol or ACID soda pops i.e. Scriptures or history of the Jews said that Samson's mother was told not to drink strong drink etc. before she was to deliver this mighty son - man. Soda's and red meat makes for Acid Reflex, try chewing gum. A life style change is needed.
• Foods: Okra tablet, Slippery Elm Bark, Marshmallow Rt. or, fresh Comfrey 20 minutes before meals
•Be fussy with anything that goes into your stomach. It is not garbage disposable.
•Eating more broccoli and its broccoli sprouts with this phytochemical may knock out your ulcer once and for all.

HOW TO REMOVE PESTICIDES FROM PRODUCE

How to remove pesticides/chemicals (Five worst offenders) Pesticides were made for war to kill our enemy. Then these were deluded down to kill bugs...but too many pesticides chemicals can kill us eventually or harm you defense mechanism in your body and cause diseases.
First: Soak fruit about 2 minutes in vinegar and water or make this formula up to keep on the counter.
1 cup water and 1 cup vinegar, add in baking soda and ½ lemon. Pour it in a spray bottle for the removal of chemicals from fruit and vegetables.
The worst offenders of pesticides are the following.
Straw berries (50 pesticides)
Apples (40 different pesticides,) plus wax that keep them on the peel.) If you can't smell the apple that's you sign it's waxed too much. Wax is a carcinogens chemical and was removed from milk carton.
Spinach, says USDA, has about 40 pesticides. Buy blanched frozen spinach that actually has less pesticides than fresh.
Peaches, 60 pesticides _The biggest offender of pesticides residues because of the soft fuzzy skins, better to buy organic when possible. Scrub with brush and spray with the above spray.
Some skins fruit and vegetables are a better buy, however, remember if the farmer does any spraying, followed by rain or watering, the water will seep up into the inside of the produce.
If you put peaches in boiling water till the skin is hot it will be easier to peel the problem off. Don't for get to have cold, or ice water to keep the fresh flavor. (about 2 min.)
Onion
Kiwi
Corn
Now do you understand why we all should have some sort of organic garden and vote by buying power of good produce in your area. Our food in America and in other countries are being poisoned by government and their pimps that keep them in.
In our grandmothers time when life was more simple and clear cut we were told to eat the peel, keep it on the fruit or potato, but today it may be a good idea to peel it. Especially if cucumbers or apples have wax on them in which its impossible to get off except to peel it off. And who wants to eat wax that hold the pesticides on the plants fruit.

Where's the Seeds? (Grape)

Organically Grown Grape Seeds: If the seeds are from the red grapes it’s the best. The seeds are good for the diabetic glucose levels rather than adding drugs causing heart problems. Grape seeds renewals cells, cancer, kills yeast and has antibiotic properties all because it’s an ant fungal. (Grapes are mention 260 in the bible…and the seeds thereof…Bible as a History) The Harvard University refers to it as the “Thinnest Gene” and it’s supposes to prolong life.
*Also, here is, and too numerous place to refer to, scriptures such as; 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plants on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' No man created GMO Foods, not God! Use organically grown plants, fruit and vegetables etc. Eat more vegetables than meat. Eat meat only if have too, or rarely if at all.
Grapes and seeds have antioxidant compounds, a class of polyphenols, are found in ripened fruits and vegetables, particularly red grapes, which need this natural protection at the time they are most ripe, from the onset of factors that will eventually lead to their decomposition. As an every day vitamin, take one to two capsules/day. take up to six capsules/day. Best if taken one half hour before meals.
Proanthocyanidins and called his product Pycnogenol method of extraction from the pine tree was patented in the early 1951, and further research showed the substance present in many plants such as, lemon tree bark, peanuts, hazel nuts, cranberries, blue berries, cherries, citrus peel, purple, red and white grape skins and seed purple grape seeds being the most concentrated source.
Other grape product other than wine, oils, (and jelly and juice, etc.) that comes to mind is “cream of tartar.” Cream of tartar, which is a potassium acid salt of tartaric acid, is obtained by scraping the whitish, powdery substance from the inside of used wine barrels. OK, agreed, not thought of but a good grape by-product nonetheless. Cream of tartar is essential in the production of baking powder, in baking to stabilize egg whites when heat is applied, and is extensively used in the preparation of frozen vegetables to prevent discoloration. Plan to use it more.
In Biblical history the grape skin was use to make natural yeast to make wines, the ones that were good for medicinal. In tomb they’ve found in old pottery wine jugs with herbs and/or grains, used as tinctures for medicine purposes TO KEEP WELL.
The uses of grape seeds and skins are numerous and not thoroughly gone into here, not wanting to go into a dictionary angle of reporting of any herbal researches i.e. which is done very well and plentiful on the Internet. Please go there for more details.
My angle here is to preserve the organically grown whole grape. One of my angles is to educate consumers to protest and not buy grapes or other fruits like watermelon etc., without their seeds. Buy from farmers who grow organically grown produce. The GMO movement are greedy men and women who robbing us of the original food quality we’ve paid for and in turn are cheated us of many natural anti fungal qualities to treat for parasites for maximum health and selling its original seed to Health Food Stores (etc.) for higher prices to consumers.
Its core of the healing is not in fruit anymore. Robbers are controlling the food and drug market and all our health is going down in this country and spreading it abroad.
We now have to buy from private growers those that produce the grape seed etc. Most are marketed to rip us off financially way over priced with too big of a fair mark up for the poor and middle class to purchase.
Instead of eating and enjoying the seed of the whole grape ourselves. Its marketers control us through the food we eat, being double raped (produce and financially).
We never heard of white and yellow corn, so what happened to all yellow sweet corn? Today the vegetables are being effected too, the corn has become chalky with no flavor. Buy from local farmers in your area for better tasting vegetables that may not have been sprayed with chemicals??? Go Mexico...no thank you!
Rip up those lawns and plant a organic garden. The worlds changing... and family's are getting poorer, even in America with too many uninsured.

Alternative Beverage to Pop_Cleanses Blood

Alternative Beverage to the Pepsi Generation to more natural cures to health.

A fresh lemon aide and drink it every morning. It cleans out over night toxins, provides normal PH to the body, and imparts lots of energy. If theirs too many toxins you'll feel down and badly. This is much better than coffee in the mornings.

It’s great on any weight loss program. Especially rather than diet, soda that creates weight gains. So does corn syrup (7 processes to make corn syrup more sweet so less costly for marketeers and goes by many other names even glucose.) High Fructose is just too much sugar for diabetic i.e.
Not only does it make the body alkaline even though a lemon seems to be acid forming, which can be very deceiving. Meat on the other hand is alkaline but turn acid in the body. (There are other such fruits.
I’m going back to the more nature sugars if I have to buy from stores. Winder Dairy has a good product of lemon-aide not from a mix that taste awful and or concentrates…ugh! It’s fresh.
At first, it was too, sweet and too expensive so to solve the problem of both I get another ½-gallon jug and pour ½ out into it. Then top each jug with distilled water. This seems just right sweetness and effect. Its cost effective because it doesn’t take very much lemons to make lemon aide. Limes will work too and both are great to macerates meats as well as vinegar that rid it of parasites. http://www.acne.org/lemon-juice-as-a-drink-reviews/76/page1. (Good to clear out liver and that will clear toxin's of the live to ward off and clean out disease.)
Lemon pies, zest of lemon (oil), hot cup of lemon for colds (ascorbic acid), and its curative, and preservative powers with its flavor makes this fruit very popular.
*Good News: Smaller Dairy's are moving toward Organic to keep afloat.

"Red" Bush Teas know as Rooibos (Africa) are great rich teas with no caffeine. They are the best on the market today. www.africanredtea.com

Making Elderberry Syrup etc.

This making Elderberry Syrups and the other video can give you ideas on making home remedies for you and your family. Their is no healthy cough syrup sold on today's market. They are all made with corn syrups, man-made sugars or fake sugars. To keep our children healthy this will not do. I buy from this Co. because am an Oregonian too. There very "Green" conscience. We all want more healthy product and our buying power is showing it. They now advertise No, corn syrups, MSG, or and aspartame, i.e and slowly becoming HISTORY!
Mean while we'll make healthy products ourselves. This recipe can be adapted, use your imagination. Visit their site for other recipes on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOYzWyFGkqM
