Plants as Medicine<br />
7 NATURAL REMEDIES<br />
by TARA MENDANHA<br />
Plants have been used in traditional medicinal practices since time<br />
immemorial. Ancient Egypt, China, and India are all known to have chronicled<br />
the use of medicinal herbs. Without this ancient research and wisdom,<br />
modern medicine as we know it wouldn’t exist. Take a trip back to your<br />
“roots” and discover some of the most used and loved medicinal plants today.<br />
1<br />
ALOE VERA<br />
As you probably know, aloe vera is great for<br />
sunburns, cuts, and scrapes. But this is just the<br />
topical use. Internally, aloe vera has the same<br />
cooling properties, making it a great remedy<br />
for heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. It’s<br />
also a mild laxative. If you have access to the<br />
plant, simply open it and scoop out the gel<br />
(for topical use); or opt for a powdered capsule<br />
found in most health food stores.<br />
2 TRIPHALA<br />
A classical blend of fruit extracts (amalaki, bibhitaki,<br />
and haritaki), triphala helps to cleanse the colon,<br />
flush toxins, and keep the liver functioning in a<br />
proper manner; what’s more, it can help reduce the<br />
level of cholesterol in the body and support efficient<br />
functioning of the digestive system, muscles, immune<br />
system, urinary tract, and lungs. Taking two capsules<br />
before bed can help regulate your digestion and<br />
reduce bloating.<br />
