Holistic/Homeopathic Remedies -In Honor of my late grandfather, Russell G. Bowe, Sr.

One of the many things my grandfather always stressed to me was the importance of using natural remedies to alleviate or cure common ailments. He believed, as do I, that they are better for our bodies, and I'm proud to have shared his passion for holistic/homeopathic remedies, and I will pass this onto my children in his honor. With any remedy it is always wise to seek professional advice, whether it be from a conventional doctor or an alternative medical provider. Also as with any medication, they don't always work for everyone. Listed below are some of the holistic/homeopathic remedies I remember my grandfather talking about.


Acne: tea tree oil

Bruises: Wild rosemary (in our family we bruise easily)

Colds: Echinacea


Depression: St. John's Wart, or Passiflora

Fever/Flu: Deadly nightshade


Sleeplessness: German Chamomile, or Valerian.


Stuffy nose: Chinese skullcap.


Always store natural medicines in a dry, dark, cool place -not in the bathroom, they tend to be too damp.
