I know you would laugh...
But here is my take. I have used fenu greek seeds quite often to reduce the feeling of bloating I sometimes felt.
One teaspoon full, downed with water has helped me. EVERYTIME. Not Gelusil (I have vomited with gelusil) and other allopathic medications.
And Rhustox has helped me recover from fever. It contains no artificial component.
It did not leave my mouth with bitter taste or tastelessness as some of the drugs can.
I felt like eating after fever and during fever too, which helped me to recover faster.
I am not saying they will be as effective on you all too. I am merely saying they worked for me.
Have you all ever tried alternative medications, and have they managed to provide you required relief?

No I would not laugh, in fact I'm also a follower of alternative medicine and seldom or at times never take synthetic medicine except for vitamins and food supplements

i prefer the natural schtuff myself, havin' lil faith'n what those pharmaceutical companies make'n peddle to unwary folks. one does to use caution though, particularly those'n other medications - to make certain there'll be no bad interactions 'fore usin' an herbal.

@vandana7 There is nothing to laugh at.We either do it or leave it.While I have not had any benefits from Homeopathy,some Ayurveda natural remedies are good.The main plus for Ayurveda is there there are no side effects.

That is wonderful that this worked for you. I would be willing to give it a try. I am open to alternative treatments.

My wife swears by boiling Saffron root in milk. I find it particularly distasteful but she is happy with it! What can work for one person may not for another. Glad you found something that works for you!

@vandana7 Both saffron and turmeric are good antiseptics, though I recall only a small amount must be used.
As for taste, it depends on your mood and willingness to accept the remedy!

@vandana7 I am clueless about this thing. Only Poison Ivy I can recall right now is Uma Thurman....

I'm sort of doing that with the heat patches I began using this week. I'm open to alternative methods, although I'm not familiar with these that you're talking about. I've also used some essential oils to relieve joint pain and for headaches.

I believe in these alternative meds and my wife uses a number of things like that and herbal teas.

Some home remedies do work on me but mostly I have to resort to non-ayurvedic medicines. I don't seem to handle ayurvedic medicines well. You already know about the kidney incident that happened. The medicine didn't suit me at all. Ever since I have been wary of them.
