If it's your first time using Holistic Natural Remedies, do so only under the guidance of your Naturopathic Practitioner. Herbs and Natural Remedies do not function the same as pharmaceuticals, and sometimes the healing effects are cumulative or gradual.

What is Holistic Natural Health?

In addressing any health concern, we should only use that which supports health and life.

Holistic Natural Health is a lifestyle that seeks to support the proper functioning of our mind, body & spirit by providing life-giving, life-sustaining nutrition, and the best materials that supply our basic needs - fresh air, pure clean water, exercise, rest, relaxation and more. 

To learn more about Holistic Natural Health, attend the first session of

You can also add these natural interventions to your healing regimen -

• Drink plenty of pure, clean water

• Eat at least 2 healthful meals/day - fresh fruits, vegetables, raw nuts, grains, legumes & roots
• Exercise regularly; at least 1-2 per week
• Drink healing respiratory herbal teas
• Be prayerful & meditate  on creating a positive outcome
• Keep your bowels regular by adequate intake of fiber & roughage in your daily diet
• Maintain regular urination with adequate intake of pure, clean water

This is a most wonderful healing remedy for respiratory ailments. The bark of the Slippery Elm tree made into a tea or concoction, is like having a broom for your lungs. It causes the mucus secretions to become less sticky, making it easier to expel mucus, along with any other foreign matter from the lungs. Have a tissue handy for coughing or sneezing as your body rids itself of the mucus.

Use 1 tsp. ground Slippery Elm Bark in 1 cup of boiling water. Steep for 15 minutes, then sip. 

You can also add 1 tsp. Ground Slippery Elm to 2 oz. applesauce and take. Be sure to drink a full glass of water after taking.

Asafaetida is the sap from the Hing Tree, and is also extremely useful in respiratory conditions. 

Use 1 tsp. of the powdered compound (found in Indian markets) in 2 oz of Applesauce. 

An old home recipe using Hing rocks is called "Asfizzidy", and is useful in many types of respiratory, cold & flu conditions. To make Asfizzidy:

1/2 oz. Asafaetida rocks

1 Pint of grain Alcohol (Whiskey)

2 tbsp. Castor Oil

1/2 Pint Raw Honey

3 cloves of Garlic

Juice & Pulp of 1 Lemon

Mix all ingredients in a glass jar. Shake everyday for 2 weeks or until the rocks have dissolved.

If you prefer not to use alcohol, use the Asafaetida compound instead. But be aware that the compound also contains guar gum and wheat flour. These are generally harmless and safe for human consumption provided you have no allergies to these ingredients.

Make a tea using these herbs or  use as otherwise directed:

• Horehound
• Mullein
• Wild Red Cherry Bark

Essential Oils for Respiratory Relief:

• Peppermint
• Tea Tree Oil
• Spearmint
• Eucalyptus

You can also add 1/2 tsp. of ground Slippery Elm Bark to your hot herbal tea for additional effectiveness.

If you have known allergies to these, or  have experienced adverse reactions to any of the ingredients listed here, please DO NOT USE!
