Chronic cough
I have a chronic dry cough for years. It is related to allergies, asthma and probably a prescription medication. I am treating it with several herbal tinctures but it does not quite go away.

Best herbal treatment for dizziness?
I have been suffering from seasonal allergies for a few weeks. Now I am in day three of feeling dizzy; I also get temporary ringing in my ears now and then.

Spring has arrived and so has aching muscles
As I transition from winter inactivity to spring feverish work outside (especially during this time of shelter-at-home) my poor aching muscles start to remind me yet again why it so important to find activities over winter to keep them in shape! What remedies do you use for aching muscles?

Dental Care - crown or no crown
I received my Equisetum Hyemale Powder today. I have been learning about natural dental care the past couple years. I have three amalgam fillings that I plan to get them removed after the lockdown is over. One of them is pretty big. Should I get a crown? If not, will my teeth heal? Any advice is appreciated.
