July 2023: Supplements, Natural Remedies & Mental Health
July brought a mix of practical health reads: energy-boosting supplements, herbal picks, nutrition tips for ADHD, natural itch relief, and the mental side of chronic pain. If you skim for quick wins, this roundup will point you to useful ideas and safe steps you can try right away.
What we published this month
Cordyceps: a mushroom supplement got top billing for fighting fatigue and lifting energy. Readers liked the clear take on how Cordyceps may support endurance and reduce tiredness during daily life or workouts. Note: talk to your provider if you take meds or have a health condition—supplements can interact with prescriptions.
Calcium D-Glucarate earned a practical mention for liver support and hormone balance. The post explains how it helps the body clear certain compounds and why some people add it to detox routines. Again, check dosage and safety with a clinician before starting.
Comfrey and Dill: two plant-focused posts explored everyday uses. Dill came across as an easy kitchen booster — good for digestion and flavoring meals like salads, fish, or soups. Comfrey was presented as a traditional remedy for bone and tissue concerns, but the article flags safety issues with internal use and suggests professional guidance for any long-term use.
Essential oils: a hands-on post covered using lavender, tea tree, and chamomile to soothe anal itching and insect bite irritation. The takeaway was practical: always dilute essential oils in a carrier oil, do a small patch test, and avoid applying them to broken skin. Those steps reduce risk while letting you try natural relief safely.
ADHD and nutrition: this piece focused on food choices that help manage symptoms. It recommended protein at meals to steady focus, omega-3 sources like fatty fish or flaxseed for brain support, and limiting sugary or heavily processed foods that can spike impulsivity. The post framed diet as a helpful tool alongside therapy or medication, not a standalone cure.
Chronic tendonitis and mental health: pain takes a toll beyond the body. The article described how ongoing tendon pain can lead to frustration, anxiety, and low mood. It suggested tracking small wins, pacing activities, and getting mental-health support when pain drags on.
Quick, practical steps you can use
Start small: add a high-protein snack and a serving of omega-3s this week to see if focus improves. If you try an herb or supplement, research brands, start low, and tell your doctor. For insect bites or mild itching, mix a few drops of lavender or chamomile into a teaspoon of olive or jojoba oil and test on your forearm first. If chronic pain wears you down, set one tiny daily goal and consider short-term counseling or a support group to stay steady.
July’s posts are meant to spark safe, realistic changes. If something sounds useful, try it carefully, track how you feel, and keep your healthcare team in the loop.

As someone who frequently explores natural treatments, I've discovered the remarkable role of essential oils in soothing anal itching and irritation from insect bites. These oils, particularly lavender, tea tree, and chamomile, have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that can reduce itching and swelling. They also have antimicrobial properties that help prevent infection. However, it's crucial to dilute these oils with a carrier oil before applying, as they can be potent. Always remember to do a patch test first to ensure there's no allergic reaction.

In my research on ADHD, I've found that nutrition plays a surprising role in managing its symptoms. Certain foods, like those rich in protein, can help improve focus, while others, such as sugary or processed foods, can exacerbate impulsivity and hyperactivity. It's not a cure-all, but mindful eating can certainly complement traditional treatments and therapies. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins are essential for brain health and can aid in managing ADHD symptoms. It's a fascinating connection and one that emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet in overall health.
