A bacterial infection of the throat, most commonly caused by streptococci may warrant the use of an antibiotic. Effective strep throat treatment should also aim to boost the immune system naturally to ensure the infection does not cause complications or return at a later date.

Symptoms of a streptococci throat infection can be;

• Redness and swelling in throat
• Pain in the throat
• A yellow discharge on the tonsils.
• Coated tongue
• Fever
• Swollen, tender lymph nodes in front of the neck
• Headaches and malaise
• Abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting - particularly in children
• Red rash with small spots under the arms or in the skin creases - often in children

As a general rule, if you have a prominent cough or nasal symptoms, you are more likely to have a viral throat infection, rather than strep. Only about 10-20% of sore throats are bacterial, so a swab is recommended before antibiotics are taken for strep throat treatment.

Conventional strep throat treatment

If strep is diagnosed your doctor will prescribe a 10 day course of antibiotics - usually penicillin or amoxicillin. Your symptoms should subside within 2-3 days of taking antibiotics. Even though you may feel better it is important that you finish the whole course of antibiotics as prescribed. Do not return to work or school until you have taken antibiotics for 24 hours and symptoms have subsided. During and after strep throat treatment with an antibiotic, acidophillus bacteria should be taken to replenish the healthy gastrointestinal flora of the body.

Natural strep throat treatment

Supporting your immune system with natural therapies will help to shorten the duration of the infection and avoid repeat antibiotic scripts.

Antibacterial herbs like olive leaf, thyme, sage, myrrh, garlic and wild indigo should be part of your treatment plan. Vitamins A and C are excellent to help boost your immune system in order to fight the bacteria. Zinc taken in a tablet or lozenge form which can be sucked or chewed on has been found to be particularly helpful in soothing the throat.

Some patients attest to the effectiveness of colloidal silver for treatment of strep. Taken 3 times a day it is a powerful anti-bacterial that can be used as a gargle and taken as a tonic.

The dietary strep throat treatment is based around the anti-inflammatory foods like ginger, garlic, turmeric, cayenne, pineapple and paw paw. Eat lightly - hot soups, broths and juices are preferred over solid foods.

You need to get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids and avoid using your voice too much during strep throat treatment. Gargling with warm, salty water and sucking on sugar-free lozenges can ease discomfort. Gently massaging your throat with a menthol-based balm like tiger balm or vapour rub can bring some relief. Some patients like to place a warmed heat bag around their neck to ease any pain.

If you need more information on strep throat treatment please refer to the e-book Nature's Amazing Sore Throat Cures by qualified naturopath Elizabeth Noble. Elizabeth's program includes the use of vitamins, minerals and herbs, an immune-boosting diet, cleansing the body, aromatherapy, massage, graded exercise and stress reduction.

How do you prevent a mark/scar on your face?

Basically, for the past month I'd been going overzealous on face products, trying to obtain perfect skin. I think my new cleanser, or something else, was irritating me and drying me out. I had a red itchy bump on my cheek and for some reason decided to put tiger balm on it... since it works for the rest of my body. The area started to burn immediately and left a red mark for a couple days. Now the patch is still dry and flaky, and I have a few slightly brown spots on it. Will this be permanent? Is there something I can do in the meantime? Thanks.

My cat scratched me awhile back and left a mark...Mederma or w/e helped alout :/

Odd I should find this wuestion today and you should ask it...

I just decided to try that as I have dark circles under my eyes that the doctors tell me is an inherited trait...

So far it does no harm... and I am hoping it will help a bit..

Everybody has experiences with eye problems at least once in their lives. Since this is common, especially in the warm seasons, the use of these simple remedies can be very helpful. Epilepsy may not be as common but it is a serious condition and is chronic. There are plenty of home remedies that are simple to make and easily available.

Eye Problems

There are a lot of conditions concerning the eye. One of the most common is sore eyes wherein the eyes turn red and itchy. An old traditional remedy for this is applying a poultice made of raw grated apples. Cucumber juice or witch hazel are also common treatments that are still used today at home and in beauty salons. Sore eyes are bathed in these for relief. Applied on the sore eyelids and also used as eyewash is an infusion of plantain. Also eyewash for inflamed eyes is an infusion of comfrey or a decoction of comfrey root. Rose water is also a good eyewash. Eyewash made from dock and from yarrow also soothes sore eyes.

The itching of the eyes is thought to be relieved by applying a liquid distilled from meadowsweet. The oil made from balm reduces inflammation of the eyes. Castor oil is also said to soothe the irritation of the eyes especially when it is caused by the presence of a foreign object.

Styes in the eyes are said to be relieved by applying a teaspoon of a poultice made from tea. An old relief for styes is bathing the eyes in water with warm milk frequently or with warm poppy water. Another old traditional remedy is taking a dose of Epsom salts with a small squeeze of lemon in it as a purgative to cure styes. Previously, eye styes were considered as a sign of generally poor health so iron tonics and quinine were often given.

Swelling of the eyes is thought to be relieved by applying a grated potato mixed with a little oil. The discoloration around the eye is alleviated by applying a mixture of scraps of the fresh root of Solomon's seal which is moistened with a little vinegar. Other herbs that are also thought to be effective are betony, borage, cowslip, feverfew, lilac, angelica, poppy, viper's bugloss and white horehound.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a serious medical condition wherein the patient suffers from random and sudden fits and should be discussed with a certified physician. However, it was once thought to be caused by witchcraft. Because of this, a lot of the traditional remedies circled around this and may be strange. A folk cure that reflecting this fact includes placing a quart bottle with pins in it in front of the fire until the pins were red hot. The logic behind this ritual was that the heart of the witch who sent the curse of the epilepsy would be pricked by the pins. The witch would be in so much pain that she would stop the curse and the epilepsy would go away.

Due to this supposed link with witchcraft and the dark arts, it is common to see charms used to ward off the disease. A popular charm used was a ring made of a piece of silver collected from an offering made in church by a congregation. Another old, peculiar treatment for epilepsy required the patient to crawl, headfirst, down three pairs of stairs three times a day for three days in a row.

Tiger Balm is a modern derivative of oils and remedies used by herbalists and doctors of ancient China thousands of years ago to relieve the pain of senior Chinese leaders. In 1870, a Chinese herbalist located in Burma, called Aw Chu Kin, observed after several rediscovered ancient remedies, a mixture of various active substances - such as camphor, clove and menthol - really relieved pain patients. We owe our knowledge of this balm through his two son Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par, which had the idea to commercialize this discovery.

The name of Tiger Balm, comes not because it contains the tiger as many may think, but just the name of first son Haw, which means tiger and the Far East, the animal is synonymous with strength and vitality. The home remedy created by their father and will become a best seller internationally known in the world with millions of cans sold each year.

Therapeutic Uses:

o Muscle pain: Tiger Balm is used to relieve muscular pain due to overexertion related to sport, work or leisure, the back pain, arthritis and muscular problems. By improving blood circulation which will increase your energy, Tiger Balm helps to relax muscles and reduce inflammation of joints and tendons. Thus, it relieves pain and helps the healing process.

o Migraines and headaches: This ointment is also used to relieve migraines and headaches, whether mild or moderate.

o Mosquito bites: It can be applied topically to relieve itching and speed the disappearance of the button and redness.

o Cough: His strong minty smell, gives a feeling of well being, and helps move nasal voice if they are obstructed, which will help your breathing and thus your oxygenation. To do this, just to massage the chest and back with the balm and let it work.

Tiger Balm can be found in two forms: Red or White.

Which tiger balm is better?

They are inexpensive treatments for stuffy nose, headaches, itchinessinsect bites, muscular aches, pains, sprains, and flatulence.

According to the Tiger Balm website, red tiger balm "helps breathe new life into aching muscles". White tiger balm "can also ease tension headaches". So in your case go for the red tiger balm. You could alternatively use tiger balm soft. It seems to be a mix of the two but in a softer format. But perhaps tiger balm red might be more effective since it is specifically for sore muscles.
