Re: Alternative medicine/therapy

(Anonymous) 2015-07-29 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Um, stuff like plain unpasteurized yogurt up my vag and drinking lots of unsweetened cranberry juice and celery-seed tea (which is a diuretic and also can stop bacteria making themselves at home in your bladder) for yeast infections and utis, mint oil rubbed on the bridge of my nose/forehead for headaches (but if strong scents trigger headaches for you don't do this) tea-tree/melaleuca oil on minor scrapes and acne (and when I was little, to get rid of lice, but don't use a plastic nit comb or it'll melt,) and in concentrations higher than 5% in hair rinses is supposed to help tame dandruff, but presumably only drandruff caused by yeast/bacteria, since it's a drying oil and likely to make dry-scalp dandruff/dry skin worse. Various herb teas with honey, or ginger and lemon and honey, for sore throats/colds, and, before I had dental insurance, clove oil on my gums for toothache.

But I think a lot of people have the mindset that natural=harmless and good for you and also more is better, which=fuck no. Also, essential oils are super concentrated, and some of them are correspondingly dangerous. Just like conventional medicine, it is possible to OD/poison yourself. (Remembering when I bought some wintergreen oil to use as flavoring--never fucking do this.)
