Natural Health Tips

ASTHMA: Mix 1 tsp. honey with 1/2 tsp. Watkins cinnamon and take it at night before going to bed.

DRY SKIN: Combine 1 cup oatmeal, 1 cup warm water, 1 Tbsp. Watkins vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup baking soda in a blender or food processor until you have a smooth paste. Pour this paste under the running water while drawing the bath. Very soothing to dry, itchy skin.

MUCUS IN COUGH: Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1/2 tsp. each of Watkins ginger, Watkins ground cloves, and Watkins cinnamon. Filter. Sweeten with 1 tsp. honey and drink.

STOMACH ACHE: A simple cure for a stomachache is to dissolve 1 1/2 tsp. Watkins ground cinnamon in 1 cup warm water, cover and let sit for 15 minutes, then drink it like tea. This remedy can also ease diarrhea and flatulence.

VOMITING AND NAUSEA: Watkins cinnamon and sliced ginger work by interrupting nausea signals sent from the stomach to the brain. If you are an herbal tea drinker, simply sprinkle cinnamon on the tea and drink. To make ginger tea, simmer a few slices of ginger in hot tea water.

It both stimulates the nerves for perception of cold and depresses those which transmit pain.
• Camphor: Occurs in nature in the camphor tree, an Asian evergreen related to cinnamon. When applied to the skin, camphor produces a mild local anesthetic action (depresses some nerve endings and stimulates others). It also acts as an antipruritic, which means it relieves itching.

Thanks, I Kneeded That

Can you predict cold, rainy weather more accurately than your local meteorologist simply by the level of joint pain you experience? If so, your forecast just got brighter. A study just published in the British Medical Journal found that nearly 90% of patients taking glucosamine supplements for 12 weeks found significant relief from chronic knee pain. Doctors believe that breakdown of cartilage is a major cause of knee pain. Glucosamine, a substance found naturally in the body, appears to stimulate the production of cartilage, which scientists believe may be responsible for the reduction in joint pain and stiffness. Watkins Linimax™, a source of glucosamine,* is available, along with time-tested Liniments and Salves, which provide temporary relief from arthritic aches and pains.

*As with all dietary supplements, ask your healthcare provider if glucosamine is right for you. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
