Dear Dr. Bedford, I have this liquid that often comes from my nasal. I just do not how to describe this liquid thing. When Its happens I get an unusual taste. I do not not have a blocked nose nor cold or flu. I feel some pressure on my forehead towards the nasal area. Can spanish needles help? Is it due to bacterial infection?

Thank you

Tan S. Y. It seems that you are suffering from Sinusitis. You must avoid the dairy products, as this will worsen the condition. Drink Peppermint tea everyday for a month. Please read the link, given below. http://herbpathy.com/Herbal-Treatment-for-Sinusitis-Cid183

Is Spanish Needle available for purchase in the United States? I have a lingering cough and doctors have not been able to identify the reason.

It is native to the United States, especially in the Southeast. I live in Florida and my backyard is covered in this plant. You can probably find someone selling it, or if you live in the correct region you’ll likely be able to find anolant and grow it yourself from seeds. They grow ridiculously quick.

Can spanish needle help bad period pain?

The worst thing you can do is eat milk or cheese before or during your period. If you want to eliminate period pain altogether, eat greens, fruit, whole grains like oatmeal, brown rice, no fried food and no animal meat a week before your period. Try it once and see if it doesn't work. Let me know.
 
Meeshta ( India )

Tetanya. I can help you with the herb for period pain. Take Shatavari capsules, one very day for a month. DO not take them during your periods.
Have a glass of milk every night before you sleep. Improve the intake of protein in your daily diet. Keep your body warm, especially back and feet warm during periods. This will help you to a great extent. Do you suffer from any other symptoms too?

Hi Harriet, walk me through a typical menu for the week for you. You'd be surprised to know that the foods that we eat are responsible for the diseases and illnesses we have. All can be reversed however with a change in our diet.

Dear Loj

You can try Tea Tree oil to treat Toenail fungus. Dilute Tea tree oil in water and dip the toenail in water for 15 minutes. Also, apply Apple Cider Vinegar on the toenail. Dilute it in water and then apply with cotton over the toenail. Do it for 2 weeks and see the results.

Have 5 drops in a glass of water. * Have Wheatgrass juice everyday. 30ml every morning. * Have a cup of Ginger tea every day. * Detoxify your body on regular intervals. Follow this regimen for 1 month and see the results. Write back with answers of the above questions for further assistance.

Hey Pyerina, take Folliculinum 200- 1 dose. After a month take Ustilago Maydis-200, 1 dose. Share your results after a month, based on the symptoms, other dose has to be taken. You can get the medicines from Homeopathic stores.
