Does anyone know of any herbs that helps Fibromyalgia?
|
I don't know if I am just being extrememly fortunate or if all of the soy products that I have been eating/drinking for menopause are helping with the fibro too...but I have not had a really bad flair up since I increased my soy bean intake. :wink: :mrgreen:
|
what soy products are you eating and drinking?
|
I use vanilla soy milk for cereal and to drink, the chocolate is pretty good also...I was NOT pleased with some of the store brands nor would I EVER suggest the plain :shock: :evil:
I eat the beans in the pod as a vegetable like peas or beans *usually packaged as Edamame* I tried the soy peanut butter...ended up mixing it half and half...still wasn't as good tasting as the "real" thing LMBO tofu...I love it marinated/seasoned and then fried Health food depts have a lot of meat substitutes made of soy that are pretty good also. Bonus: Hot flashes almost completely gone Fibro not bad, considering the time of year and what I have been doing Soy has a lot of protein Soy has been said to lower cholestrol Depending on what you buy and how it is prepared it can be a low calorie food, too. |
I am an unoffical natural health/healing person.
try this 1 Tbs apple cider vinegar 1 Tbs honey stir into 1 cup hot tea Drink this twice a day. You WILL fell better in about 1-2 week but continue to drink this on a daily basis forever. If you don't like tea mix it in apple juice the best way to do this is take a little apple juice and heat it so the honey disolves then add the rest of the juice and apple cider vinegar. Let us know how you are in 2 weeks :thumbup: |
Another soy product I use is TVP ...textured vegetable protein. I buy it at a local market here and I fool my family with it all the they don't know it isn't meat ...it is healthier for them. 8)
|
YES!!! 8) I forgot to add that one in!!! I added that to soup, sauces, or sometimes 1/2 and 1/2 with hamburger :D :D :D
|
We eat the soy "sausage patties" all the time. They are very good and not greasy at all which is a big plus in my book.
The textured vegetable protien Chrismah spoke of is excellent for things like taco meats. Once you toss the spices in no one notices the difference. |
FYI If you are on medication for hypothyroidism be sure and check with your pharmacist or dr about using soy.
|
WOW!!! :shock: I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up!!! I have family with that, and wouldn't want to cause them any harm if I fix a dish with it...as far as I know, I am the only one who eats soy products....
