Home remedies, which interrupt or override the spasmodic nerve circuitry, are often effective.
Such remedies include:
Coughs due to bacterial or viral upper respiratory infections may be effectively treated with complementary therapies. The choice of remedy will vary and be specific to the type of cough the patient has. Lingering coughs or coughing up blood should be treated by a trained practitioner.
Onion is a major source of protein, calcium, potassium, sodium, sulphur and iron. 100 g of raw onion contains: 1.3 g of dietary fiber, 23 calories, 0.9 g of protein and 5.2 g of sugar. The white onions are the strongest followed by yellow. The red or purple onion variety are the mildest-flavored types. Onion is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, kills worms, eliminates bacteria causing TB and ulceration of the lungs, helps in dissolution of blood cholesterol and relieves congestion in airways. It can help in bronchial congestion, prevents heart attacks and aid in cancer resistance.
Several types of topical applications are usually recommended to speed healing and to reduce the pain associated with bruises.
Vitamin K cream can be applied directly to the site of injury.
Astringent herbs such as witch hazel, Hamamelis virginiana, can be used. This will tighten the tissues and therefore diminish the bruising.
The homeopathic remedy, Arnica montana, can be applied as a cream or gel to unbroken skin.
Meditation and mindfulness training can benefit patients with phobias and panic disorder. Hydrotherapy, massage therapy, and aromatherapy are useful to some anxious patients because they can promote general relaxation of the nervous system. Essential oils of lavender, chamomile, neroli, sweet marjoram, and ylang-ylang are commonly recommended by aromatherapists for stress relief and anxiety reduction.
