50 Simple Health Tips

Some health advice is universal: Eating well, exercising, and reducing stress go a long way toward boosting wellness and preventing chronic disease. But what about those individual health issues -- headaches, cramps, indigestion -- that we often feel we just have to live with? As it turns out, treating day-to-day ailments is easier than you think. To discover the 50 best home remedies for common health issues, we consulted Andrew Weil, M.D., integrative physician and author of "Why Our Health Matters"; Daphne Miller, M.D., author of "The Jungle Effect"; and James Nicolai, M.D., medical director of the Franciscan Center for Integrative Health in Indianapolis. As always, talk to your health-care practitioner about new herbs and supplements you're interested in taking.
