Whenever you are sick, you visit the doctor and you come out with many prescriptions.  Each one is for a different reason.

Not only do they cost quite a bit, even if you do have insurance, but they also have serious side effects.  If you take a medication for an infection it may cause you liver damage.

Some medications can cause you to be so drowsy that you can’t even function. This probably has you very worried.

Well, you are not the only one feeling this way; millions are trying to find alternative ways to heal without using prescriptions or undergoing surgery.  Many have found less expensive ways, doctor approved cures that work without all the harmful and bothersome side effects.

Bladder Pain

UTI’s are very painful.  At times, they can be reoccurring.  However, there are about 8 million American women are diagnosed with IC, interstitial cystitis.  Many women who have this chronic condition believe it’s a recurrent UTI.  The prescription for this causes baldness and it’s not something any women want to deal with.  The solution is freeze dried Aloe Vera capsules.  Take 9 capsules a day, 3 per meal and in a few weeks you will feel a difference.  Be careful of which ones you choose, make sure they are free of inflammation causing additives.

Migraines

Migraine headaches can put a stop to your daily routine.  These last for days and don’t go away easily.  The medications prescribed are oral and injectable pain relievers but they don’t work 100%.  When the person takes this medication they feel queasy and don’t relieve the headache at times plus they are expensive. So these medications leave you feeling sick and broke.  Alternative is taking 75mg of butterbur.  It is an Asian flower extract found in health food stores.  This does work and in many cases will relieve your migraine immediately.  In four months, you can slash your migraine headaches in half if not more.

Sleep

When you have trouble sleeping or don’t sleep enough, you can’t function well.  The medication offered by the physicians most of the time are addictive or have severe side effects, such as nausea, dry mouth, can’t drive, etc.  A good way to correct your sleeping problem is to take L-theanine.  It’s a natural relaxant that come from tea leaves, take one pill a night and you will notice a difference.

Cholesterol

We all want to make sure we have a healthy heart.  For those that suffer from cholesterol even more so.  There are many medications out there but they are truly expensive and the side effects are quite scary.  A good alternative is Red Yeast Rice.  Take 600 mg twice a day and in over 4 months or so, your cholesterol levels will lower greatly.  A study was done and those that took 1,800 mg of Red Yeast Rice a day lowered their LDL cholesterol by 27% in three months.

Heartburn

Those that suffer from heartburn know very well that when you get an attack it takes a while to go away.  There are many foods or drinks that can cause heartburn, add on to it stress and it’s a bomb.  Medications are expensive and don’t always work.  To help with this, use an herbal tea used to treat babies with colic and mix it with apple juice.  As soon as you drink this you will feel immediately relief.
