This week was the first week we had snow and I’m not very excited. We’re not big snow lovers in the Smith household. We enjoy being warm and dry. If I can sit on the couch, drink a big cup of hot chocolate (this recipe is da bomb!), cuddle up with a blanket, read a good book, then I’m fine with the snow.
Along with the cold and wet weather usually comes sickness. Unfortunately a lot of people also go straight to their MD who dutifully prescribes some sort of antibiotic. Antibiotics are certainly necessary for some things, but for the most part they should be saved until a last resort to save your gut health.
My Pinterest feed nowadays is popping up with all sorts of natural home remedies. Everything from the flu to wrinkles. I thought that I would take the most popular natural remedies from my fellow bloggers and compile them into a massive list. I even put them in alphabetical order so you can find the one you’re looking for easier.
You’re welcome.

I know some people who suffer from anxiety and it can be debilitating. Unfortunately, these people are often put on drugs they’re supposed to take the rest of their lives – which is super depressing.

4. Arthritis – Powerful Home Remedy for Arthritis via Life Saving Natural Cures and Natural Remedies
I dislocated my knee about 7 years ago and it definitely has some arthritis going on. My knee creaks, hurts, pops, and everything else a joint isn’t supposed to do. After I did a juice cleanse though I can honestly say the pain was 100% gone. It felt amazing and this particular remedy is part of our juicing regimen.
5. Bad Breath – Homemade Cinnamon Mouthwash for Bad Breath via Everyday Roots
Commercial mouthwash is full of chemicals and artificial flavors and colors. Most of that stuff will only help your breath for a short time and some chemicals have been linked to oral cancer. Ditch the fake stuff and make your own at home.

Everyday Health can help those of you suffering from depression and hopefully be able to cut back on pills (but talk to your doctor first).
