[AlternativeAnswers] Flower Power: Flower Remedies

Good Morning!

Flower Power: Flower Remedies

This week I will be discussing the work and energy behind "Flower
Power". Not only is it a phrase from the 60's associated with peace
and the hippie movement, I find the phrase, itself empowering! So
this week I am going to explore the nature of "Flower Power"!

The essence of flowers is a subtle, aromatic and volatile liquid
extracted from the flowers, seeds, leaves, stems, bark and roots of
herbs, bushes, shrubs and trees through distillation. It is a form of
vibrational healing, which works on many levels. Flower remedies are
homeopathic essences, which benefit a specific mental and emotional
state. Below is a small sampling of the power of flowers, with there
color, qualities and patterns of imbalance they treat:

When listing the uses of Swedish Bitters, the list would be quite

Stinging Nettle has been used for centuries to treat allergy symptoms,
particularly hayfever which is the most common allergy problem. It contains
biologically active compounds that reduce inflammation
An infusion of the plant is very valuable in stemming internal bleeding. It
is also used to treat anemia, excessive menstruation, hemorrhoids,
digestive, arthritis, rheumatism and skin complaints, especially eczema.
Externally, the plant can be used to treat skin complaints, arthritic pain, gout,
sciatica, neuralgia, hemorrhoids and hair problems.
Taken orally, products made from nettle's aerial parts may interfere with
the body's production of prostaglandins and other inflammation-causing
chemicals. Consequently, nettle may have an anti-inflammatory effect. It may
also enhance responses of the immune system. Chemicals in nettle's aerial
parts are also thought to reduce the feeling of pain or interfere with the way
that nerves send pain signals. All of these effects may reduce the pain and
stiffness of arthritis and other similar conditions.
Side effect: Stinging nettle is a diuretic, it may enhance the effects of
diuretic drugs. Nettle may lower blood sugar and decrease blood pressure, so
it may interfere with drugs taken for diabetes and high blood pressure.
Nettle also affects blood clotting, and may interfere with blood-thinning
drugs.

And what can we do to get rid of them? They are so ugly, especially on the

Dark or Tart Cherry juice reduces inflammation and pain.

Vitamin E & C, Cayenne, Black Pepper and Ginger heals and increases
circulation. When sitting or lying down elevate your foot.

Dandelion, Cornsilk, Horsetail, Parley and Celery are used for fluid

Internally Apple Cider Vinegar helps your body to rid itself of poisons and
gets your system back in balance. Take two teaspoons of vinegar, and one
or two teaspoons of honey in a glass of water. Externally Vinegar: Some
people soothe their injured foot or ankle with vinegar. Just mix equal parts
vinegar and water, heat it in the microwave then soak a towel in it. Wrap it
around the affected area and let it sit for five minutes.
Mustard oil is an effective home remedy for edema. Take some warm mustard
oil and rub it on the affected areas. Soak 2 teaspoons of mustard seeds in
water and apply the solution to the affected areas.

I fell and twisted my foot badly. It's very painful and swollen. I have an
edema. I have been rested and lifted my feet, put cold in the beginning
and heat later. I'm better, but the improvement is too slow. I can scarcely
walk. I'm a vegetarian and My diet is mostly fruits and vegetables.
Does anyone have any recommendations, suggestions, please?
