Painkillers? No, willow decoction!

Do you have head, tooth or stomach ache? Before resorting to painkillers, try to solve the problem with plants. Plants are not toxic, but are equally effective.

Willow is a good analgesic

In Chinese medicine, the willow tree is called the ‘painkiller tree’. Willow bark contains salicin, which is nothing other than aspirin! It relieves pain, reduces fever, it is a blood thinner, and it does not have Aspirin’s side effects (such as allergic reactions, or gastrointestinal disorders).

To relieve pain, prepare a tea from 30 g rams of shredded willow bark per liter of water; boil it ten minutes and filter it. Place tea compresses onto the painful area. For internal use, take a teaspoon of willow powder, prepared from dried willow bark grinded.

Relieve toothache with wolf's claw

Wolf's claw is effective in treating pain and kidney stones crises. Place a handful of dried herb in a cloth bag, keep 5 minutes in boiling water, squeeze a little and apply on the painful spot. To relieve back pain, muscle spasms, or rheumatic pain, you can make a "pillow" filled with dry wolf's claw, and place it on the painful spot.

Blueberries reduce stomach ache

Do you have indigestion? Does your stomach hurt? Do you have diarrhea? A decoction of dried blueberries solves problems. Fresh blueberries restore intestinal mucosa in case of diarrhea, but also deal with chronic constipation. Milfoil tea reduces menstrual pain. Prepare a tea from a teaspoon of dried herb in 200 ml of boiling water, strain and sweeten with honey. Drink 3-4 cups a day for a week before the menstrual cycle.
