"Nature knows best"
Since going raw vegan I do not use many things other than raw foods to stay healthy. i will share with you the foods, natural oils and remedies I use on those times I get cold symptoms, aches and cuts. Below I am sharing simple home remedies that I have found helpful to healing slight ailments.
Water Fasting
If one looks to nature you will see animals fast when they are unwell. This is because healing is energy and one of the most demanding systems in your body is the digestive system.
If I ever start to feel unwell eg cold or congestion I will water fast. I find by doing this the body gets a rest from digestion and can use that energy to heal the body. I usually never develop as serve symptoms or an ailment for long if I use water fasting.
Method: Ingesting nothing other than water for 24-72 hours. Ideally a person will drink 3 litres of spring water a day.
Citrus
This is so important to promote blood flow and help the lymphatic system drain. When I do self massage I simply apply pressure with some coconut oil on the tips of my fingers and massage over most of my body. I focus on any areas that feel tight or tender.
This self care tool also helps with keeping my muscles healthy as massage increases blood flow into the muscle tissue.
Garlic
I take showers daily that are cold and I stay in for approximately 30 secs for the lat part of my shower. These increase immunity, decrease pain, lower stress levels, helped me transition to swim in the ocean through winter, invigorate and wake me, improve circulation, close hair follicles and tightens skin.
I could go on and on about all the benefits I have found from cold showering
Ginger
Is there anything coconut oil does not help with? I feel no matter what is going on in my life using cold pressed coconut oil feels incredible and helps with so much self care.

Turmeric
Bath's with Himalayan salt or sea salt, soft music, candles and coconut oil added to it are one of my favourite self care treats. I do not have a bath at home so I am blessed my parents do.When ever I stay over at my parents apartment I will treat my self to a bath with approx. 2 tablespoons of a natural salt.
Natural sea salt includes Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium and many beneficial trace minerals. The benefits I have found with these natural salts in baths are as follows:
-
improved mood
-
calming
-
improved circulation
-
relives muscle tension and pain
-
calming on the skin
I feel like a new person after one of my bathing rituals.
Chilli
Not only is bamboo more eco- friendly, strong and a sustainable material that is non- toxic and also durable. It is better for you & feels good on my scalp, gentle in my mouth, beautiful to hold and it also looks good in my bathroom.
When it comes to my toothbrush, comb, cutlery and exfoliating brush I use bamboo products. I love the feeling of my bamboo hair comb on my scalp as it is softer & less toxic than a plastic comb. I can not speak any higher of the way a bamboo toothbrush does not bang on my teeth as much as a plastic one use to when I had one.
The biggest game changer for myself and others that I coach is the bamboo cutlery. Do you know how much damage metal cutlery does each time it hits your teeth? Although steel is stronger your teeth are more brittle and each time a fork or spoon enters your mouth you scratch and damage teeth enamel. So if you want to change any of the above to bamboo or even wood, can recommend it be your utensils first!
