This Father’s Day, give your dad some natural health remedies. Even dads who swear they’ll never take herbal cures can be convinced! 

Like many others who enjoy the benefits of natural medicine, I had to discover it for myself–the hard way. I was born in the 80’s when doctors pushed formulas and told mothers it wasn’t healthy to breastfeed so much. Antibiotics and other prescription drugs were miracles of our time period–they were prescribed quickly without a second thought.

What’s more, I was also the child of a pediatrician. It took a devastating experience with negative side effects to prescription medicine to shake off the deeply-engrained notion that Western Medicine was the cure to everything.

Ever since, I dove into alternative medicine and experienced amazing healing from natural remedies. I wanted to share the wonder of natural medicine with everyone I loved–especially my parents.

It was hard to convince my dad, who had a storehouse of pharmaceutical samples, that natural remedies were worthy of a try. It took a lot of emailing articles and studies combined with sharing personal stories.

And it also took gifts.

I’d always had a hard time figuring out what to get my dad for his birthday and Father’s Day. He was always on top of the latest technology, wasn’t into fashion, and bought way too many pointless gadgets.

So I realized I had to get him a gift that would really change his life. He’d been complaining about headaches for awhile, and was popping Tylenol nearly every day. So, I did a bunch of research on natural remedies for headaches, and I got him some Feverfew tinctures for Father’s Day that year. He reluctantly decided to give it a try–and bam– he quickly saw the results and was hooked.

Unfortunately, that didn’t mean he was open to other natural remedies, per se. I had to introduce each one slowly, as little gifts, throughout the age.

As our parents age, there are a few common health issues that come up. If you’re looking for a way to get them more into herbal medicine, why not get your dad some natural medicine for Father’s Day?

5 Natural Father’s Day Gifts For Achy Dads (Based On Their Specific Pains)

1. Low Energy Dads

When most men turn seventy, they experience lower energy rates. This adds to the depressing sound of their age and the feeling that they’re getting old. Many men this age take ginseng as a natural energy and virility boost.

But ginseng can only go so far on it’s own. Help your dad take it up eight notches with Dragon Herbs 8 Immortals Adaptogenic Elixir. It contains ginseng as well as seven other potent and ancient Chinese ingredients that hold the secrets of vitality.

2. Bone Density Blues

By age 65 or 70 men and women lose bone mass and have less of an ability to absorb calcium, an essential nutrient for bone health throughout life. Osteoporosis becomes all too common, and the drugs prescribed for this disease come with serious issues. Research shows that a natural mineral, strontium, outperforms the Fosamax, the main prescription drug for osteoporosis, in building bones. Another review of dozens of studies with thousands of patients found strontium to be very effective and safe in long-term treatment of osteoporosis.

For a natural dose of strontium, get dad Ocean Plant Extract. And read this horror story on Fosomax and why you should avoid it.

An estimated 49.7 percent of adults 65 years or older reported doctor-diagnosed arthritis from 2010-2012. That means nearly 50 percent of our parents will have to deal with achy joints. What to do? Dr. Jacob Teiltelbaum advises a natural 6-week arthritis cure. One of the most important steps in this process, is reducing inflammation with natural anti-inflammatories.

An ancient remedy, black cumin seed oil is one of the most effective natural anti-inflammatories–and it also includes a lot of other health benefits. Studies directly link black cumin seed oil, also known as nigella sativa oil, with healing rheumatoid arthritis.

Acid reflux is most often diagnosed in individuals over the age of 40, with approximately 50 percent of all individuals diagnosed with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) between the ages of 45 and 64. The older we get, the more common it is.

If your dad suffers from acid reflux, black cumin seed oil can come to the rescue, once again. It was used in ancient Egypt and India as a digestive aid, is one of the best anti-inflammatories. Reports show it to also aid with bloating, indigestion, and other symptoms of acid reflux.
