Most of us have tried some sort of home remedy to make us feel better.
Just making herbal tea for a cold is considered a home remedy.
But there are so many more to consider...
In today’s video, we’ll discuss the scientific reasons behind popular home remedies.
Why do chili peppers help with pain and soreness?
Why is ginger tea beneficial?
Wait, what can lavender do?
We’ll be discussing all this AND more.
Let’s begin...
Ginger for pain and nausea Do you like putting ginger in your food?
It goes with so many different recipes.
But not many people realize the health benefits it carries.
It’s a rule in many households to try ginger when someone has a cold, sore throat or morning
sickness.
It’s really easy to add ginger to your drinks and meals.
All you have to do is put it in your tea for a stronger effect.
Research suggests that ginger is fairly effective in alleviating nausea and vomiting.
What you may not realize is that ginger has anti-inflammatory effects.
Next time you feel dizzy or have a headache, try ginger.
It’s different from other painkillers that reduce inflammation.
It prevents the formation of certain types of inflammatory substances.
It also uses antioxidants that interact with acids to break down inflammation.Studies also
show that dried ginger can treat dementia.
This includes Alzheimer’s disease.

Turmeric for pain and inflammation This magical spice has been used as a part
of medicine for nearly 4,000 years.
When it comes to healing powers, turmeric may be the best way to treat pain, especially
when it comes to inflammation.
Several studies have shown that curcumin is the element that brings out the “wow”
factor in turmeric.
After taking 500 milligrams of curcumin, the pain levels in arthritis patients went down
more than it did after the consumption of 50 mg of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Other studies show that it relieves pain, and points out that turmeric extract is as
effective as ibuprofen for treating osteoarthritis.
Remember that turmeric must not be crushed for instant relief.
You will only end up with stains!
The curcumin content in turmeric doesn’t go over 3%, which means you should consider
taking curcumin supplements for immediate pain relief.
This doesn’t mean that turmeric lattes don’t work.
It’s estimated that a few grams of this spice can provide great benefits.
Don’t forget to add some black pepper to increase the absorption.

Eucalyptus oil for pain relief Are you familiar with eucalyptus?
Well you’re in for something special!
Studies show that eucalyptus oil can go to battle with pain, swelling and inflammation.
Eucalyptus oil has an element known as cineole [sin-ee-ole], which can relieve aches and
pains.
The element acts sort of like morphine.
If you’re a fan of essential oils, you’re in luck.
Eucalyptus oil can alleviate body pains even after just inhaling.
But it’s not for everyone.
This oil is dangerous to pets, and may trigger an asthma attack.
It’s also known to give human babies breathing problems.
If you’re not sensitive to these side effects, eucalyptus will benefit you after surgery.
Research proves that inhaling eucalyptus oil could decrease a patient's pain and blood
pressure following total knee replacement.

Now let’s get back to our discussion on amazing home remedies.
Mint for digestion and muscle aches It might look like a simple ingredient to
freshen your breath.
But mint does a lot more than that.
Depending on the type, mint can offer distinct benefits.
For pain, a combination of peppermint oil with wintergreen oil is recommended as it
includes compounds that blend with capsaicin.
Applying it may give you a cool “burning” sensation before the numbing takes place.
This impact assists with joint and muscle ache.
Mint is a particularly good source of vitamin A, which is important for your eye health
and night vision.
Peppermint is an ingredient used in many different cures.
It’s especially powerful when dealing with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Peppermint reduces spasms, diarrhea, or stomach pain related to IBS.
It works with the colon, which reduces aches in the digestive tract.
This battles IBS.
Peppermint oil tablets or tea can help headaches, colds, and different types of discomfort.
Another study found that just smelling the aroma of peppermint oil for five minutes can
significantly improve your memory.
Chili pepper for soreness and pain Are you into spice?
Well today’s your lucky day!
I’m not talking about the deadly spice you eat with your hot wings.
I’m talking about simple chili peppers.
They can do lots for your health.
Studies have shown that 10 grams of red chili pepper can significantly increase fat burning
in men and women.
The active ingredient in pepper has been used in traditional medicines for a long time,
and it’s only becoming more popular.
Capsaicin is now identified as an ingredient for pain relief.
It works by getting an area hot until the skin is completely numb.
If you’ve been feeling intense muscle soreness or body aches that just won’t go away, you
can get some relief if you have chili or hot peppers on hand.
It can be used to make a DIY capsaicin cream.
Most of us associate chili peppers with the burning feeling we get after we eat it.
What you don’t realize is that chili can actually cure burns as well.
A study found that when patients with heartburn took 2.5 grams of red pepper a day, the discomfort
increased at the beginning, but decreased over time.
Before you use them, just make sure you can handle the heat.
You don’t want to eat peppers as a remedy, and not be able to take the heat.
If you can handle a bit of spice in your food, enjoy your chilis...
Lavender for migraines and anxiety Traditionally, lavender has had quite a few
health benefits.
This ranges from relaxation to treating infections, burns, insect bites and spasms.
If you’ve been having a lot of migraine attacks, headaches, anxiety, and feelings
of distress, lavender can help solve your problem.
Studies have shown that lavender fights migraines, anxiety, and memory problems caused by stress
and sleepiness.
Studies have found that lavender improved symptoms of anxiety such as restlessness and
disturbed sleep.
It also boosted our general well-being and quality of life.
Having some lavender tea can reduce anxiety and relax your body and mind when stressed.
Research also shows that a combination of essential lavender, sage and rose oils can
help manage the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
While most of these home remedies have no serious side effects, they can be harmful
if you use too much.
Make sure you're being responsible with them.
Some people are more sensitive to certain dosages than others.
So if you’re taking medication, or suffer from a health condition affected by diet,
talk to your doctor before eating these foods regularly.
