As more people become concerned with what they put in their bodies, and concern about the influence of Big Pharma hits an all time high, interest in natural alternatives to conventional medicine is at an all time high. Of course, no one is going to replace conventional medicine for life threatening illnesses, but for day to day cuts, bruises and ailments, many people are turning to alternative medicines; particularly in light of growing education regarding the development of resistance to pharmaceutical drugs.

However, for the natural health novice, it can be difficult to identify the best products to start using as natural health sellers are constrained by stringent regulations regarding what they can and can't claim about their products.

Two of the most useful products to stock up the bathroom cabinet with are oregano essential oil capsules and colloidal silver spray. They are two of the most versatile products for everyday ailments available directly from natural health shops. Of course, it goes without saying that no treatment should be embarked on without first consulting a doctor.

Oregano essential ...
... oil is primarily useful for promoting digestive health, but it may also go towards maintaining a healthy immune system and overall general health. The primary benefit of oregano oil is in aiding the growth of healthy gut flora - the collective term for microorganisms that live in our guts in a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship. They aid in digestive processes generally but more specifically also make us significantly better at processing vitamins which may help to maintain a healthy immune system.

Oregano oil is also known to have high levels of antioxidants, and potent antibacterial properties. In fact, so potent is oregano oil that natural health professionals recommend pairing it with a strong probiotic if taken for a prolonged period of time, as oregano oil depletes the stocks of ‘friendly bacteria' in the gut at the same time as promoting gut flora.

Colloidal silver spray on the other hand is a multi-purpose product that can be used for a multitude of different conditions and ailments. Before the introduction of penicillin and what we now consider to be ‘conventional' antibiotics, silver was widely used as the cure-all of pre-penicillin medicine.

As new strains of bacteria that are resistant to conventional antibiotics are found, colloidal silver may well see something of a renaissance, as there is currently no bacteria known to be resistant to silver. Colloidal silver spray can be used both internally and externally for colds, flus, infections and external wounds.

Oregano essential oil and colloidal silver spray are by no means exhaustive in their effects, and anyone looking to stock a medicine cabinet with entirely natural products will need more than just these, but oregano oil and colloidal silver are certainly good starting points.
