Here is another amazingly simple natural remedy for headaches or migraines that occur in the forehead area (third eye).
Simply take an organic lemon and about at its midsection, remove a bandaid size of skin, leaving on a postage-stamp size bit of juicy lemon flesh. Hold the lemon bandaid on the headachey area for about 5-7 minutes. Repeat, if necessary, with a fresh lemon bandaid.
Amazing what our Creator produces for us...

Simple Sips to deal with Arthritis
Arthritis is a bothersome ailment. Fortunately a 'living diet' (raw fruits and vegetables) is a very effective means of turning this joint affliction around.
Here is a simple remedy using lime juice (from Wikipedia):
The primary cause of some forms of arthritis is uric acid, and because lime is a solvent of uric acid it can be helpful in preventing the aches and pains of arthritis. The juice of one lime mixed with water should be drank once a day. It is best to drink the solution in the morning.
And, for sore throat (from Cambodia):
A whole lime is squeezed into a small bowl or cup. Water is then added, tripling the amount of liquid. A sweetener (I would suggest Stevia) and a pinch of salt is added to the drink. It is normally sipped, using a spoon, so that the liquid goes down the throat slowly. It can be taken as needed, as long as the sore throat is still present. It also doesn’t taste half bad.

“Russian Penicillin”– a great raw remedy
We have some houseguests who are part of a health ministry/life consultancy. I've been suffering with the cold-flu of my life and they reminded me of this great old-time remedy:
Natural Cold and Flu Tonic Recipe
- 4 ounces of fresh squeezed organic lemon juice [2 medium to large lemons]
- 4 to 6 ounces of Raw Honey (Honey that has not been heated)
- 1 Whole organic onion (peeled)
- 1 Whole fresh organic garlic bulb (peeled)
- Cayenne pepper to taste or amount you can handle (pinch or 2) Put all ingredients in VitaMix cannister. Blend into thick liquid. Directions: Use at the first sign of a cold. Keep the Natural Tonic in a glass jar in the refrigerator. Take at least 1 tablespoon every 3 to 4 hours during your cold. Lemons, onions, and garlic are all "natural antibiotics" which restore and maintain your natural immunity. The raw honey also has healing qualities and will sweeten this pretty potent concoction. The cayenne pepper helps you break up any mucous in your chest. I was also reminded that 'good remedies' are used like good food, only in moderation... don't overdose on anything! ADDED AFTER THE COLD: This Russian Penicillin makes a wonderful coleslaw dressing... just pour over grated cabbage and enjoy! (p.s.-- you can grate your cabbage in the VitaMix in very quick time by adding 2 cups of cut up cabbage to the cannister and then filling the cannister up with cold water. Securely position the 2-part lid and turn up to 4 Variable Speed for about 15 seconds. Drain off the water and pour the grated cabbage into a bowl. Pour over the "Russian" dressing and voila! The Perfect Raw Salad!
