My chest

I have been eating licorice from my local health food shop, the trouble is that you can only have so much because then it makes you feel sick. I could try the capsule type instead

Licorice has long been touted as a natural remedy for a wide range of ailments. Historian Pliny the Elder wrote of the widespread use of licorice for its healing properties in treating the common cold, asthma and wounds. Licorice root was found in the tombs of the pharaohs in Egypt, implying the importance of the herb for the Egyptians. Evidence of its use has been documented in ancient Greece, throughout the Roman Empire and in Chinese herbal remedies. Licorice extract in its natural form contains mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid properties, as well as antimicrobial properties

So licorice will suet me fine as not only is it good for my chest, it may help my gastric problems as well.It could well be my natural cure.

The acid-alkaline balance

After reading about how important the Acid-alkaline balance is in your body I came up with a remedy to get balance correct, reducing the risk of any damage to my cells by having too much acid.
Practically every major degenerative disease, including cancer, is triggered by an over acid system. When the ph of your body is out of balance your skin and hair become dull, the nervous system is affected , and you may suffer insomnia, arthritis,aching joints, skin conditions such as candida, fungal infections, muscle pain and gout which are all common symptoms of an over acid system.

Nutritionists and health professionals have long understood the importance to health of the acid-alkaline balance, and keeping the balance is one of the crucial keys of remaining healthy, and also slowing down the ageing process.

Friendly foods are honey, lemon and organic apple cider vinegar. There are others but I picked these three for my remedy. I will add a teaspoon of Manuka honey to hot water to melt the honey. I will then add a slice of lemon, and a tablespoon of organic cider vinegar, and that I will take twice a day between meals.
