Did you know chili peppers can cure a common headache? Post your favorite remedies and share stories on your experiences with plant and herbal medicine.

For headache you can also massage some peppermint oil on both sides of your head next to your eyes, and drinking water can help.

This is my first post in this group. I am in search of the herbal medicine for all disease. I observed that for many disease and conditions specially for skin condition herbal medicines are the best choice.
An example of this is skin condition vitiligo. A chronic pigmentation disorder, treatment of this even by some latest techniques is very tricky matter. But by it is proved that by herbal medicines it can be treated successfully. As claimed by www.antivitiligo.com/more-info.html

"Calcium" can alleviate those sudden knee jerking legs spasms that make you jump out of bed in pain.

For red and itchy eyes due to allergies, try boiling chrysanthemum leaves in warm water for 20 minutes. After the water cools, use it as an eye wash.

Although there are many 'alternative' ways to relieve rheumatic and arthritic pain, another one cropped up recenty. Red bell peppers/capsicums can be crushed and mixed with a gel or cream to make a pain relief cream/gel/ointment for arthritic and rheumatic joints. It's a similar action to chillies, but with a different slant. Something to do with the capsaicin in the peppers, we're told.
Still prefer treatments that work on the whole system, but some forms of arthritis and rheumatism, including rheumatoid arthritis, may be beyond complete healing after a while.

I've noticed recently that Açaí products from Brazil are popping up everywhere in grocery stores. I've heard that Açaí berries are high in antioxidants and will give you a lot of energy. I've seen a lot of juices and smoothies with Açaí, but not any food products. I'm wondering if you could make Açaí muffins...just not sure where to get the berries in wholel form.
