    Traditional Amish home remedies to use for anything from migraines to fungal infections

    If there is one thing in common among different cultures around the globe, it's the extensive use of home remedies to address health issues and simple everyday concerns. The Amish, for instance, have been known to use home remedies that have been passed down for generations for their effectiveness.
    Traditional Amish home remedies

    The Amish like to be self-sufficient in all things; they strive to be independent from conventional medicines. Below are some home remedies that can help with both health problems and common everyday issues – ranging from sore throats, burns and dandruff, to migraine and female menstrual problems.
    Sore throat and cough

    For sore throat or cough, simply take a teaspoon of honey every hour until the sore throat or cough is relieved. You can also brew sage leaf tea for sore throat and flu symptoms.
    You can also make your own cough syrup. Put three whole eggs in the shell in a pint jar and fill with vinegar. Cover the jar with a lid but do not screw it on. Set it aside for four to five days until the eggshells are soft and slightly black in color. Lift the eggs out and fill the jar up with honey. Mix and use one teaspoon four times a day to relieve cough.
    Migraine

    Simply take two teaspoons of honey with each meal for an effective pain reliever for migraine headaches. Alternatively, you may boil equal parts of honey and apple cider vinegar and pour into a bowl, then place a towel over your head and the bowl and inhale the steam.
    Fungal infections

    Fungal infection can spread rapidly if not addressed quickly. An old Amish home remedy for ringworm includes brewing black walnut hulls in water and applying the resulting (cooled) tea onto the affected area twice a day for two weeks. This remedy also works on athlete’s foot and other skin fungal infections.

    You can also make your own foot powder by mixing one part baking soda and one part cornstarch; place the mixture in a sprinkler container and apply on your feet before putting on your socks or shoes.
    For asthma sufferers, mold and mildew can aggravate symptoms. Mix one cup of lemon juice with 1/2 cup of bleach and two quarts of water. Place the mixture in a spray bottle and spray down moldy areas of your home, leaving the concoction to penetrate overnight. Rinse away with water in the morning. Repeat the process for any stubborn mildew or mold.
    For yeast infections, simply use plain yogurt to address the problem. Fill a cough medicine syringe with plain yogurt and squeeze some into the vagina every night for two weeks for an effective remedy without any side effects.
    More Amish home remedies

    Below are more Amish traditional remedies that can help with home and hygiene issues:

    • Arthritis – Take 10 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and add to a glass of water and drink with every meal.
    • Bee stings – Cover the stung area with dampened salt or make a thick paste using baking soda and water and let dry. Alternatively, put wet clay or mud on the stung area for relief.
    • Boils – Apply Vaseline to the boil, then put one slice of lemon on the affected spot. Put a fresh slice on the boil every day until it's gone. This usually takes three days.
    • Burns – Break off an aloe vera leaf and apply the ooze on the burn area. This will stop the pain in a few minutes. Leave the burn uncovered whenever possible to hasten the healing process. Another remedy is a paste made of unsalted lard and flour. Note that these remedies are only for mild burns; severe burns need immediate medical care.
    • Dandruff – Boil one tablespoon of nettle tea in a quart of water. Cool and massage this tea into scalp regularly.
    • Earache – Put some molasses on a cotton bud and apply to the outer ear to relieve an earache. DO NOT stick cotton bud into the ear canal.
    • Internal parasites – Boil ginger root in a quart of water for half an hour, then drink the ginger tea daily for four days. You can also use 10 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar mixed into a glass of water, to be taken at each meal. Use honey instead of sugar to sweeten.
    • Nose drops – Mix ¼ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, and one cup of boiled water. Put a few drops into the nose whenever necessary or pour some into the palm of your hand then sniff up into the nostrils. Emit through the mouth.
    • Period pains – Use one teaspoon of dry, crumbled red raspberry leaves plus one cup of boiling water. Sweeten the resulting tea with honey and drink it hot. Use no more than two cups in 24 hours to relieve menstrual cramps.

    • Plant-based oils like tea tree, clove and cinnamon contain compounds that disrupt and neutralize mold spores.
    • Indoor mold can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory issues and gut problems by producing mycotoxins and allergens.
    • Specific essential oil combinations, applied via massage or diffusion, can support respiratory and digestive health against mold-related ailments.
    • While beneficial for air quality, essential oils are not a substitute for physical mold removal from surfaces in the home.
    • Controlling indoor humidity and ensuring regular cleaning of mold-prone areas like air conditioners and water bottles are crucial to prevent mold growth.

    For individuals concerned with indoor air quality and holistic health, a potent, plant-based solution is emerging from an unexpected source: the fragrant world of essential oils. Mounting evidence from both traditional practice and scientific research indicates that oils derived from cloves, tea tree, cinnamon and a host of other botanicals possess remarkable antifungal properties that can disrupt and neutralize mold spores. This news matters now, as people spend more time indoors and seek safer alternatives to harsh chemical cleaners. These essential oils are not a direct substitute for scrubbing away visible mold, but they offer a dual-pronged approach: purifying the air of airborne spores and, when used topically in diluted blends, supporting the body's own defenses against mold-related health issues.
    The science of scent: How oils disrupt mold

    The power of these essential oils lies in their complex chemical makeup. They are rich in bioactive compounds that are toxic to fungi but generally safe for humans when used properly. The most potent anti-mold agents often fall into two chemical categories. Phenolic essential oils, such as clove, oregano and thyme, contain powerful compounds like eugenol, carvacrol and thymol. These substances are known to effectively disrupt the cell membranes of mold spores, leading to their neutralization. The second group, aldehyde essential oils, includes lemongrass and cinnamon bark. These oils, rich in citral and cinnamaldehyde, exhibit strong antifungal and antiseptic properties, killing airborne spores and inhibiting fungal growth. This scientific understanding provides a foundation for their strategic use in creating a healthier home environment.
    Supporting the body’s defense systems

    Beyond air purification, diluted essential oils can be used topically to support the body's systems affected by mold exposure. Aromatherapists note that the primary benefit for personal health lies in boosting the immune response, not in physically removing mold from the body. For respiratory support, a blend incorporating soothing oils like lavender and frankincense with more potent anti-mold oils like thyme and litsea cubeba can be diluted and massaged onto the chest or back. This approach is designed to bolster lung health and resilience. Similarly, for gut health—which can be affected by ingesting mold spores—a gentle abdominal massage with a blend of lavender, German chamomile and antifungal thyme oil may help soothe inflammation and discomfort, as evidenced by one aromatherapist's experience in alleviating her son's mold-related digestive distress.
    The limits of oils in household mold remediation

    It is crucial to understand the boundaries of what essential oils can achieve. While they are excellent for improving air quality and discouraging mold growth, they are not considered effective for removing existing mold colonies from surfaces. For visible black mold, especially on porous materials, physical removal is the first and most critical step. Experts recommend scrubbing with a brush and water. For stubborn stains, oxygen-based bleaching agents like sodium percarbonate can be effective. While chemical cleaners like bleach can be used with extreme caution and proper ventilation, they carry risks of harmful fumes and surface damage. In this context, essential oils are best used as a preventative measure—added to mop water or a diffuser—to freshen the air and discourage mold from taking hold, rather than as a primary cleaner for significant infestations.
    A historical shift toward plant-based solutions

    The use of plants for purification and medicine is a practice with deep historical roots, from the use of smoke in cleansing rituals to the application of herbal poultices. The modern embrace of essential oils for mold mitigation represents a return to these natural principles, fueled by a growing desire to reduce exposure to synthetic chemicals. Conventional mold cleaners like bleach often release volatile organic compounds and harsh fumes, contributing to indoor air pollution. In contrast, plant-based solutions offer a chemical-free way to reclaim clean air. This shift aligns with a broader movement towards integrative health and environmentally conscious living, where ancient wisdom is validated by contemporary science to address a persistent household problem.
    Harnessing nature for healthier homes

    The evidence is clear that essential oils provide a valuable, multi-faceted tool in the ongoing effort to maintain healthy indoor spaces. From the microbial-killing power of tea tree oil to the mold-suppressing strength of clove, these natural extracts offer a way to combat mold at its source—both in the environment and in supporting the body’s response to it. While they are not a cure-all and cannot replace necessary physical cleaning, their strategic use in diffusion and topical applications presents a safer, aromatic alternative for those seeking to mitigate the risks of mold. As with any natural remedy, knowledge and proper application are key, turning these ancient botanical extracts into a modern shield for personal and home wellness.

    Pinto beans: A nutritional powerhouse for every diet

    11/03/2025 // Laura Harris // 490 Views


    Tags: beans, food science, legumes, Organic, pinto beans, superfoods



    • Pinto beans are rich in protein, fiber, iron, folate, potassium and antioxidants, making them an excellent superfood to add to your diet.
    • They support cardiovascular function, aid in digestion, regulate blood pressure, promote muscle and nerve function and help prevent oxidative stress and nutrient deficiencies.
    • While conventional pinto beans may contain trace pesticide residues, proper rinsing and cooking reduce exposure to these chemicals. Organic options are best.
    • Some individuals may experience digestive discomfort or reduced mineral absorption due to phytic acid and oligosaccharides in pinto beans, but these can be managed with proper preparation.
    • A staple in Latin American and global cuisines, pinto beans are used in dishes like refried beans, chili, tacos and stews, making them a delicious and adaptable food for any diet.

    Pinto beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are a staple in many cuisines worldwide, celebrated for their creamy texture, nutty flavor and impressive nutritional benefits. These speckled legumes have been consumed for centuries, offering a rich source of protein, fiber and essential vitamins and minerals. Whether enjoyed in chili, refried beans or salads, pinto beans deserve recognition as one of the healthiest and most versatile foods in the human diet.
    Pinto beans originated in the Americas, particularly in present-day Peru and Mexico, where they were cultivated by indigenous tribes as early as 7000 BCE. Spanish explorers later introduced them to Europe during the Columbian Exchange, and they eventually spread globally.
    The name "pinto" comes from the Spanish word for "painted," referring to their mottled skin–a pattern that fades when cooked. Today, they remain a dietary cornerstone in Latin American, Southwestern U.S. and Mediterranean cuisines.
    Nutritional profile of pinto beans

    One cup of cooked pinto beans (171 grams, g) contains approximately:

    • 245 calories
    • 15.4 g of protein, or 31 percent of the daily value (DV)
    • 15.4 g of fiber, or 62 percent of the DV
    • 3.6 milligrams (mg) of iron, or 20 percent of the DV
    • 294 micrograms (mcg) of folate, or 74 percent of the DV
    • 746 milligrams (mg) of potassium, or 16 percent of the DV
    • Copper and zinc
    • Antioxidants

    Health benefits of pinto beans

    Pinto beans are a nutritional powerhouse that can support overall well-being, particularly heart health and digestion. Rich in fiber, protein and essential minerals, they can help regulate cholesterol, blood pressure and oxidative stress while aiding muscle and nerve function. Including pinto beans in your diet provides a natural, medication-free way to enhance your health.
    Here are the health benefits of eating pinto beans:
    Supports digestion and heart health


    • Pinto beans are high in fiber, which promotes healthy digestion by preventing constipation and supporting gut health. Their fiber and propionate content also helps lower LDL and total cholesterol, reducing cardiovascular risks.

    Crucial for oxygen support


    • Pinto beans contain iron, an essential nutrient for hemoglobin production. Iron helps transports oxygen in the blood. Adequate iron intake prevents fatigue and supports energy metabolism.

    Supports muscle and nerve function


    • Rich in magnesium and potassium, pinto beans aid muscle contraction and nerve signal transmission. These minerals also help prevent cramps and maintain proper neuromuscular activity.

    Vital for DNA synthesis


    • The folate in pinto beans plays a key role in DNA repair and cell division, making them important for growth and development. Folate also helps prevent neural tube defects during pregnancy.

    Regulates blood pressure


    • Potassium in pinto beans counteracts sodium's effects, helping to maintain healthy blood pressure levels. This reduces strain on the heart and lowers hypertension risk.

    Combats oxidative stress


    • Packed with antioxidants, pinto beans neutralize free radicals, protecting cells from damage and inflammation. This supports immunity and helps reduce chronic disease risks.

    Pinto beans are beneficial for health, with scientific research backing their numerous advantages. Pinto beans can stabilize blood sugar levels due to their high fiber and protein content, which slows glucose absorption and reduces the risk of diabetes. Additionally, the soluble fiber in pinto beans supports heart health by helping lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol, a benefit recognized by the FDA. For weight management, pinto beans promote satiety, helping curb overeating and supporting healthy weight management.
    While highly nutritious, pinto beans naturally contain phytic acid that can reduce mineral absorption. This is why pinto beans need to be soaked in water before cooking to remove this antinutrient. Some people may also experience digestive discomfort after consuming pinto beans due to the presence of oligosaccharides (fermentable fibers). Starting small and gradually increasing your intake can help your body to adjust and avoid digestive issues.
    Overall, pinto beans are a nutrient-dense, health-promoting food with minimal drawbacks when prepared properly.
    While pinto beans are not listed among the "Dirty Dozen," conventional farming practices could expose them to harmful pesticides like glyphosate (often used in crop drying) and chlorpyrifos (banned in the U.S. but still present in imported beans). Heavy metal contamination, particularly arsenic, is typically low, but rinsing the dry beans thoroughly before cooking helps reduce chemical residues.
    Culinary uses of pinto beans

    Pinto beans are a versatile gem in global cuisines. They feature in:

    • Mexican: Refried beans, burritos, enchiladas
    • Southwestern U.S.: Bean soups, chili con carne
    • Brazilian: Feijoada (black bean stew hybrid)
    • Modern Fusion: Buddha bowls, veggie burgers

    Top pinto bean dishes


    • Frijoles borrachos ("Drunken Beans" simmered in beer)
    • Cuban-style stewed beans (with sofrito)
    • Vegetarian pinto bean tacos
    • Texas-style cowboy beans (with bacon and molasses)

    From ancient fields to modern plates, pinto beans have cemented their role in nutritious, sustainable eating. Packed with protein, fiber and minerals and low in fat, they support heart health, digestion and weight control.
    Opting for organic versions minimizes pesticide exposure, though conventionally grown pinto beans remain nutritious. Whether whipped into refried beans, tossed in a salad or blended into a soup, these spotted legumes offer flavor, history and wellness in every bite.
