​Herbal remedies are plants that have a medicinal effect. Herbal remedies have been around for thousands of years. In fact, some evidence suggests that plants were used for medicinal purposes over 60,000 years ago. The earliest written evidence dates back to over 5,000 years ago from writings of Imhotep.
 
Such herbal remedies have been making a real comeback in recent years.
 
Herbal remedies contain powerful chemicals that many pharmaceutical companies and scientists are studying. Many of these plants are either available in the grocery store or can be grown quite easily in a garden. Using these plants in your diet can have a significant effect on your health and overall wellbeing.
 
These herbal remedies can often be just as effective as pharmaceuticals in the prevention and treatment of disease:

1. Ginseng. Ginseng is one of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine. The most popular varieties are American ginseng and Asian ginseng. American ginseng is considered to have a greater relaxing effect, while the Asian variety is more stimulating.

• Consider these benefits: Ginseng is an excellent antioxidant and reduces inflammation. Ginseng has shown promise for improving brain function and treating erectile dysfunction. It could also lower blood sugar, lower fatigue, and have benefits against cancer.
  
  

2. Garlic. Garlic is readily available and a powerful herbal remedy. Most people enjoy the taste of garlic, bad breath notwithstanding.

• Garlic has been shown to significantly reduce the duration and severity of cold symptoms. Hypertension responds positively to garlic consumption. In fact, garlic is at least as effective in treating hypertension as some medications.
• Garlic also lowers cholesterol levels, may help prevent Alzheimer’s, and could help with the process of removing heavy metals from the body.
  
  

3. Turmeric. Turmeric is used in Ayurvedic medicine and is also a popular spice in Indian food. Turmeric is also readily available in any grocery store. The primary active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin.

• Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory. It is as effective as aspirin and ibuprofen in treating inflammation. It is also believed to be beneficial in treating and preventing cancer. Depression, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s are also believed to be helped by the consumption of turmeric.
  
  

4. Ginger. Another very common grocery store item, ginger, is excellent for the treatment of nausea and morning sickness. Ginger can be used as a spice or made into tea. More benefits include:

• You can use it to help treat muscle pain and soreness.
• Ginger is another excellent anti-inflammatory.
• Indigestion, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol can all be reduced by ginger.

 
5. Valerian root. This might be a little harder to find. In fact, you’ll probably have to grow this one on your own, but it’s worth the effort. This flowering plant has many health benefits.

• Headaches, insomnia, digestive issues, muscle pain, fatigue, and anxiety can all be helped by valerian root.
  
  

6. Chamomile. This daisy-like flower is most commonly consumed in tea form. Chamomile is believed to treat insomnia, reduce cold symptoms, boost immunity, and lower stress levels. Chamomile tea is available at your grocery store.


Herbal remedies can’t replace all pharmaceutical drugs, but they are viable replacements in many situations. Of course, you should still include your doctor in your herbal remedy plans.
 
Herbal remedies can be very effective and inexpensive. $1 of garlic can easily last a week. If your budget is tight, herbal remedies can be a great way to boost your health without breaking the bank.
 
Even if you’re in 100% perfect health, herbal remedies can help to keep you healthy. You have nothing to lose. In fact, your food might taste even more delicious while you’re making your body healthier.

Himalayan lamps are more than just objects for home décor. Apart from their aesthetic appeal, these lamps also have a number of benefits for you and the environment, which makes them a must-have item for your apartment!  

They Cleanse & Purify the Air
Most people who use salt lamps are aware of their incredible ability to deodorize the air around them.  They can help remove the various types of contaminants present in the air such as dust, cigarette smoke, and pollen. But how does a piece of rock with a tiny bulb placed inside it cleanse the air?

Himalayan salt lamps absorb the water molecules present in the environment along with any other particles the air may contain, such as the contaminants. As the lamp heats up when lit, the water molecules that were absorbed by the salt crystals evaporate and are released back into the environment. However, the pollutants remain trapped in the crystal, thereby cleansing the air. This mechanism is known as hygroscopy.  

They Neutralize Electromagnetic Radiation
Our homes are stocked with electronics. Television, computers, and cell phones are amongst the things we use several times every day, among plenty of other appliances in our homes that are also frequently use. All of these electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation, which can have detrimental effects on our health in the long run.

By emitting negative ions, Himalayan salt lamps tend to neutralize the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the electronic devices.  Placing these lamps near the appliances can reduce the hazards of constantly being exposed to EM radiation, and can help lower stress levels, chronic fatigue, and boost the body’s immune system.

They Help You Sleep Better
Wondering why you haven’t been able to sleep well lately? It may be because of the exposure to the abundance of positive ions in the air. An excess of positively-charged particles in your surroundings can actually reduce the oxygen supply and blood flow to the brain, which can cause a disruption in sleeping habits.

Salt lamps can help undo this effect. As natural negative ion generators, they can balance out the ions present in the room, improving the quality of the air as they do. This can significantly help you maintain a regular sleeping pattern leading to undisturbed nights of sleep.

You don’t need to leave the lamp on the entire night if you prefer sleeping in the dark!  Just have it lit up for a few hours during the day so that it can regulate the negative and positive ions in the room for you to sleep comfortably later.
