Big Foot

Do you have swollen feet? It is not only uncomfortable; it can also be a threat to your health.

If you don’t think it is serious enough yet to consult a doctor, I can give you a natural remedy with no side effects but very effective in relieving the swelling.

*Switch from store-bought salt to sea salt for your family.

*Stop eating salty foods, which would include chips, fries, popcorn, etc.

*Stop adding any extra salt on your food.

*Every day, eat raw vegetables such as celery, parsley, cabbage, etc.

*Start adding a little sesame seed oil to your daily diet.

*Learn to snack on unsalted seeds and nuts.

To make it easy to maintain this with your regular diet, keep a pitcher of herbal Swelling Relief Tea in the refrigerator. Every morning, put a cup of the herbal liquid in the blender and add a stalk of celery, a teaspoon of sesame seeds, a teaspoon of sesame oil, and a spoonful of green drink powder. Blend, and drink your swelling away. Be careful, your ring might fall off!

Swelling Relief Tea includes corn silk, which is a diuretic and an antiseptic. It is also good for kidney function. Stinging Nettle is high in potassium and chlorophyll and is an excellent diuretic. Citrus peel helps reduce muscle spasms and can help correct varicose veins. Cinnamon is helpful in maintaining proper blood sugar levels and is an antiseptic.

Sea salt, sesame seed, and sesame oil can be bought in most health food grocery stores. Green drinks are also readily available from many sources. I use Barley Life Xtra because it is good for me, and it tastes so good! (www.4abundanthealth.com)

I am a Registered Nurse, and have always believed that there was a better way to treat my children. My husband and I have always been very leery of antibiotics because I have seen and knew the overuse of them. You have given me a wonderful way to treat my family and to show them I love them. I am just now getting started and the first thing I did was to treat my 5yr old's sore throat with garlic "tea". She only drank a little (because she said it tasted bad) before bed. When she woke up the next morning, her sore throat was GONE!!!!! Again, thank you so much!! God Bless You.

Did You Know?

The daily sprinkling of a little Cayenne powder on the toothpaste on your toothbrush can work miracles in fighting/preventing gums disease. That's right. It will also help deal with other oral ailments that plague many folks these days. After reading about this, we just had to try it. There is a warm sensation in your mouth as you brush your teeth, but it soon disappears after rinsing. As usual, whenever using Cayenne powder, one should start with very small amounts to allow the body some time to build up a tolerance. The first few times we used it, we sprinkled so little of the powder on the toothpaste that we didn't feel anything. As the days progressed, we increased the amounts slightly until we felt it was warm enough. After using it for a little while, the nice feeling in your mouth is very satisfying. Be warned, however, you do not want to over do this one, so start small.
