MY HERBAL MEDICINE BASKET

-


http://slideplayer.com



I have become more interested in herbal
medicine and home remedies since I have
become a senior lady. Part of my longevity
includes taking care of my body. I try to
drink more water and eat healthy food.
I try to exercise at least 3 days per week.

I try to remember the Bible verses in
1 Corinthians 6 which tells me, my body is a
temple, I have been bought with a price,
(Christ died on the cross for my sins) and
glorify God with my body.
I am alarmed at the side effects mentioned in
the ads I see on TV.  I guess the side effects were
experienced by some people in their medical 
trials and studies. It is also alarming for me to see
ads asking if a loved one died or became disabled 
because they took a "bad drug."

 I often read info about herbal medicine and home 
remedies at these websites:
 The People's Pharmacy,  Pinterest, and Prevention 
Magazine

My friends and I also share what herbal medicine
helped us feel better. We realize that each one 
of us may react differently the herbal medicine. 
I know what works for one of my friends may not 
work for me.

I also have medical doctors that use herbal medicine
and prescription medicine. They realize that some of 
their patients' bodies can't tolereate prescription 
medication.

Here are some herbal medications that my body 
could not handle:

Black Cohosh ( can help menopausal symptoms)
Red Rice Yeast ( can help high cholesterol)
Lecithin ( prescription strength- for high cholesterol)

I have had success with the following herbal
medicines in the past:

Vitamin E ( helps menopausal symptoms)
Soy with isoflavones capsules (helps menopausal 
symptoms)
Phyto-estrogen tablets (helps menopausal symptoms)


My large straw basket currently contains the following
herbal medications:


Ginkgo Biloba tablets ( improve memory and sharpen 
thinking, improves blood flow to the brain, acts as an 
antioxidant) This medicine improved my husband's
cognitive thinking after his stroke.

Chromium Picolinate with Cinnamon (can regulate 
blood sugar levels)

Sea kelp tablets ( helped my hypothyroidism:
T4 levels improved)

Fenugreek ( helps my high cholesterol & blood sugar
regulation)


The following website has more details on uses and
side effects of the herbal medicines I mentioned:

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

SPANISH LLADRO ANGEL FIGURINES SENIOR MOMENT COLLECTIBLES (SMC) I began collecting angels after  I saw an article in the guide post  magazine. The lady had a picture of her angel collection on the first page. I thought this was a great  hobby. Now I have three curio cabinets full of angels. My husband realized I was  a serious about my angel collection. He began buying me beautiful angels for my Christmas present.  He even  bought me the curio cabinets to put them in.  I even had friends who collected  frogs, elephants, penguins, and sock monkeys. We helped each  other hunt for collectibles.Some of them bought me angels when  they traveled overseas. I have   beautiful angels from Africa and Hawaii because of my traveling friends. MY TIPS FOR COLLECTING: * Do research on the Internet for list of items people collect * Choose one item that interest you.  Some people do theme collecting like vintage toy

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
