Feeling pain in any part of your body – even in your internal organs? The next time you do, instead of opening your medicine cabinet, why not open nature’s medicine chest instead, and consider what herbal remedy is best for your problem?

Four Common Herbs with Uncommon Uses

Below are some common herbs and their cures:

• Peppermint. It’s not just a flavor in your candy or an aroma of your essential oil, it is also one hell of an herbal remedy! Peppermint is a soothing and tasty way to relieve you from stomach and intestinal pain. This is definitely good for upset stomachs and indigestion problems. Just prepare peppermint tea by boiling leaves and straining. You can also forgo the straining and just chew on the leaves while you drink the tea! Or, if you like it fast, just buy peppermint in tea bags. Peppermint, in its essential oil form, is also a good herbal remedy for itching. Rub a small drop of it on insect bites and other itches. And, peppermint oil is also good for probably the most common and widely-experienced pain – headache. Just inhale the oil direct from the bottle or put a few drops on your temples and behind your ears and rub your way to relief.
• Basil. Now that only does not look great as a garnish or delicious in your pesto pasta – basil is also good for pain relief. Just put a teaspoon of ground basil on a cup of hot water. Let the leaves infuse for ten minutes, and there you have this delicious herb as an herbal remedy for headache!
• Chamomile. You must have heard that this herb lets you go off to dreamland quickly and easily, but do you know that this is also a good herbal remedy for excess gas in your stomach, cramps in your bowels and even as a pain relief for stomach flu? Just infuse a cup of water with a tablespoon full of chamomile flowers.  Drink this infusion five times a day.
• Rosemary. Like peppermint, the tea from this fragrant herb is good for upset stomachs. Its oil is also good in soothing pain from cuts, bruises and scrapes. Its essential oil is an effective herbal remedy for the more painful type of headache – migraine.

If you have these herbs in your garden and use them for cooking, now you know you can use each as a good herbal remedy as well – and not only for pain, mind you. If you do a little research, you will find more cures from these herbs.
