We are all on our own journey, and this 21st-century world we experience can be tough, both physically and mentally; in this short blog, we present a few natural compounds that have amazing healing properties that you should bring into your life.

  1. Honey – 100% natural honey is pure nectar. A teaspoon of honey with freshly boiled ใบชาเขียว (green tea leaves) makes for a delicious beverage. Fortunately, you can order genuine honey from a leading Thai online supplier and have the product delivered to your door. If you have a cold and sore throat, a spoonful of honey in the morning works wonders; bees are critical to the ecosystem, and the beekeeping sector is alive and well and working to keep the bee population healthy.
  2. Tea – Tea can be enjoyed hot and cold, and there are many fine strains from India and other Asian countries. The Chinese, in particular, developed tea making for thousands of years, and tea is regarded as having healing properties in all regions of China. Search online for a list of Thai tea importers and wholesalers and buy your favourite tea in bulk.
  3. Coconut oil – Another magical fruit, the coconut can be refined into oil, which is great for hair and skin, while swishing coconut oil around your mouth for a few minutes is really good for the teeth and gums. Many women coat their hair with coconut oil after a wash and condition, then comb it through the hair and leave it for 30 minutes, which acts as a great moisturiser. Apply to the skin before sun exposure to help retain those essential oils. Click here for why variety feels optional in everyday eating.
  4. Turmeric – Also known as Indian Saffron, this ancient herb is believed to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Most cooks have turmeric in their spice rack, yet we have recently discovered the healing properties this herb possesses. Google can take you to a few websites that sing the praises of turmeric.
  5. Ginger – While ginger has long been used to flavour food, it has health benefits and is said to relieve arthritis, while also reducing blood pressure. Ginger helps alleviate motion sickness, and many pregnant mums swear by a drink of ginger to prevent morning sickness. This root also relieves pain, and it is used in China for mild pain relief and has been for hundreds of years. The West is only just realising the many health benefits of certain herbs, which Eastern cultures have long known.

Nature is pretty amazing, and by making good use of the right natural ingredients, we can improve our physical and mental well-being. The World Wide Web is home to many free learning resources on natural elements that possess healing qualities. Check out the Thai government sites that promote health & well-being. The Thai people are very health-conscious and are in tune with nature in many respects. Yet, we are living in a developing world, and it seems apparent that we are moving away from Mother Nature.
