Health Magazine’s Head-to-Toe Guide to Natural Health

Here’s a snippet from the July/August Issue of Health Magazine: the Head-to-Toe Guide to Natural Health:

• Eyes: Keep your vision sharp with bilberries, which are packed with antioxidants—even more than their blueberry cousins.
• Sinuses: Research shows that oils from dill, bishop’s weed, and cumin work as well as or better than antibiotics against eight types of common bacterial infections.
• Breasts: Flaxseed reduces inflammation and tumor growth.
• Tummy: Get rid of your burping and bloating with digestive-enzyme supplements which are available in capsule form. Mint has also long been considered a tummy soother.
• Feet: To ease the chronic pain of plantar fasciitis (an inflammatory condition), try acupuncture or natural anti-inflammatories such as ginger, turmeric, or boswellia.

There’s more here for just about every part of teh body, but take note, though, that there’s no scientific backing referenced for these claims (if you have leads, I’d be glad to receive them!)!
