Natural acne treatment

Robert Kokoska



Since the skin is the largest organ on the body and it assists
other major organs in the human body with eliminating waste, one
of the best acne treatments is diet which has many home remedies
for acne in the foods that we eat. If you are unhealthy inside
it will be reflected in your skin.



Acne occurs when the natural oils that the skin produces clogs
the pores of the skin. Normally acne is prevalent in the onset
of puberty when the body starts to produce hormones, it has also
been known to be a problem for women during pregnancy. Since
acne is a problem for people world wide, there are many forms of
acne treatments, acne products and acne medications on the
market.







A natural treatment for acne is diet, which some say can be an
acne cure and for many is the best acne treatment. When I was a
teenager I had severe acne and tried using what were considered
the best acne treatments at the time.



Retin-A was one of the most popular prescription acne
medications on the market at that time. Noxzema skin cream and
Clearsil were two of the most popular acne products used among
my friends and I. I learned the hard way that Alcohol should not
be used as a home remedy for acne and with severe acne cutting
back on processed foods replacing them with a healthy diet of
fruits and vegetables. I thought that diet as a natural acne
treatment was going to be bad because until that point I lived
junk food.







Using diet as a natural acne treatment was not as bad as I had
thought it would be. There are so many foods that act naturally
as a home remedy for acne and are often the best acne
treatments. At first I thought that it would be easier to just
remember when to use acne medication or the other acne products
that I was using at the time rather than to give up on junk
foods.



The internal home remedy for acne prescribed by my doctor and
mother turned out to be for me the best acne treatment used
along with all natural acne products like tea-tree oil. To my
surprise I enjoyed this change in diet and in a short time I
felt like it was an acne cure that was noticeable with in the
week.







My mother was happier that I was eating something besides chips
and was also happy with what we thought was an acne cure. She
was also happy that she did not have to spend a lot of money on
acne medications or worry about which over the counter acne
products were the best. Who would have thought when I drank
naturally sweetened juices and lots of water that it would be a
natural acne treatment. My breakouts were far and few in between
all because of using diet as an acne treatment turned out to
pretty much be an acne cure for me.







There are so many acne treatments on the market today that
profess to be the answer to all of your problems but the truth
of the matter is you will have to find the best acne products or
try to find the best home remedies for you by simply researching
on your own.



Some people will require acne medications because more serious
illness are the reason for their acne problem. Home remedies for
acne through diet can alleviate many of your outbreaks because
we truly are what we eat. If the eyes are the window to the soul
then the skin is a reflection of your overall health so the
beginning of a real cure starts from within.

Mood Stabilizers & Mood Enhancers - A Remedy To Naturally Boost Mood & Alleviate Depression

Danna Schneider



Depression and mood disorders are very prevalent mental health issues today. In an increasingly health conscious society, more options are being put forth in the realm of natural medicine, allowing people to stabilize and enhance mood naturally, without addictive and often harmful prescription antidepressants.



Natural mood stabilizers and mood enhancers usually work by encouraging the production of serotonin and other "pleasure" chemicals such as norepinephrine in the human brain, thereby promoting a sense of calm, well-being and revitalization.



Herbal mood enhancers may contain several different herbs and vitamins in concentrated form ranging from St. John's Wort, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B12 and various other proprietary blends of botanical extracts and powders. The goal of natural mood stabilizers is to simultaneously alleviate stress and anxiety, while increasing energy and vitality levels (this is where Vitamin B12 usually comes into play - as an energy enhancer). All of this is done through precise blends of complementing ingredients to produce the desired outcome chemically in the human body.



A mood stabilizer is an excellent way to help make it through life's rough patches or particulary stressful events in life, since they are natural and non-habit forming, but very effective at enhancing mood for those who need some temporary help from time to time. Please note that individuals who suffer severe clinical depression should seek the help and guidance of a therapist and/or psychiatrist though, as therapy and medication may be needed in extreme cases.



Mood enhancing herbs have actually long been used in ancient civilizations as a means for mood stabilization and mood elevation. Natural mood enhancers, in contrast with prescription antidepressants, actually do not produce many of the common side effects of prescription antidepressants.



Side effects of the more common antidepressants (Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor, Lexapro and more),may include any of the following: suicidal tendencies, sexual disfunction, dry mouth, urinary retention, constipation, blurred vision, headache, weight gain, gastrointestinal disturbance and more.



Most people actually discontinue the usage of prescription mood enhancers (antidepressants) due to the simple fact that the side effects are worse than the actual depression. Many critics of prescription mood stabilizers argue that we don't know enough about how or why they work in the human brain, and that it is the "overkill" approach to treating depression or the "sledgehammer to crack a nut" approach, which is not necessary to effectively treat many cases of depression.



One thing is certain. There are countless people who suffer from moderate depression and mood disorders from time to time. There is simply no reason to not try a natural method to stabilize and regulate your mood by using a natural mood enhancer to get through emotionally difficult times. It's simply not worth the risks associated with antidepressants if it is not severe enough to warrant a psychologist's supervision.

Menopause Symptoms – Herbal Remedies

Caren Killtral



Menopause is a natural occurrence for women and it is something which every woman will face at some point in her life. Fortunately, studies have been done in order to provide herbal treatments and remedies for women going through this stage. Herbal remedies, as controversial as they are, can potentially provide positive effects for women experiencing menopausal symptoms. Here are some common menopausal symptoms and the best form of herbal remedy associated with each:



• Hot Flashes - Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms for women during menopause. Hot flashes can last up to 6 minutes and can potentially occur several times within one day.



Herbal Remedy – Black Cohosh (also known as squaw root, black snake root or rattle weed) has been studied and is proven as a reputable treatment for hot flashes.



• Insomnia – Many women experiencing menopausal symptoms also have difficulty sleeping. If you suffer from sleeplessness on a regular basis, you probably suffer from chronic insomnia.



Herbal Remedies – Kava (or Kawa) is used throughout the world as a remedy for anxiety and insomnia. Other remedies proven effective for treating insomnia and sleeplessness are Valerian root and HOPS.



• Depression and Mood Swings – Although most people joke about women becoming depressed and moody during menopause, these symptoms are very serious and if not treated properly can become dangerous and harmful.



Herbal Remedy – St. John's Wart (also known as goat weed) has proven to be an affective antidepressant in reversing the feelings of depression which many menopausal women experience.



• Abnormal Hair Growth – Abnormal hair growth (also called hirsuitism) is perhaps one of the most embarrassing symptoms for women suffering from menopause. Abnormal hair growth can occur anywhere, although above the upper lip is usually a common target.



Herbal Remedy – Saw Palmetto (also known as Serenoa repens or windmill palm) is used for treating men with enlarged prostates as well as for women who are experiencing abnormal hair growth during menopause.



Menopause is a difficult time for every woman, but every woman must face it at some point. Approaching menopause with a positive attitude has been proven to reduce the likeliness of some menopausal symptoms like depression and anxiety. Researching remedies and treatments is the best way to prepare for this stage of your life. This way, when it does happen, you're aware of what to expect and the best ways to deal with it.


About the Author: Caren Killtral found out the hard way that Menopause can hit a woman with force even earlier than most expect. She has spent several years learning all she can to help not only her own symptoms, but other women going through menopause as well.

Melatonin as a Dietary Supplement to Combat Insomnia

Donald Saunders



Melatonin is probably the most studied and best understood natural sleep remedy for insomnia, and can be particularly helpful if you suffer from initial, or sleep onset, insomnia – difficulty falling asleep.

A hormone that occurs naturally in the body, melatonin is secreted throughout our lives by a tiny pea-sized organ at the center of the brain called the pineal gland. The release of melatonin is controlled by your body's circadian rhythm – your internal 24 hour time-keeping system, or body clock, which plays an important role in controlling when you fall asleep and when you wake up. Darkness stimulates the release of melatonin and light suppresses its activity.

Although the pineal gland is capable of producing melatonin through life, there is evidence to suggest that its production slows as we get older. This may well be one explanation for the fact that younger people find it easier to fall asleep than older people and reinforces the view that melatonin can be especially useful as a sleeping aid for older people.

As well as occurring naturally in the body, melatonin is also available today in a synthesized form, available through health food and drug stores as a dietary supplement. It can also be purchased as natural melatonin, made from the pineal glands of animals, although its purchase in this form is not recommended because of the small, but nonetheless significant, risk of virus transmission.

If you suffer from initial, or sleep onset, insomnia then you might like to consider taking melatonin about thirty minutes before going to bed. The dosage will vary from person to person but melatonin is typically available in tablet form ranging from 1mg up to 3mg.

It is recommended that you start with a low dose and increase this only if necessary. For many people a dose of 1mg is more than sufficient and you may well find that starting with just half a tablet, or 0.5mg, will do the trick. You should also experiment with the time at which you take melatonin as, although the majority of people find that thirty minutes before bedtime is about right, you may find that taking it slightly earlier, perhaps an hour or even two hours before bedtime, will suit you better.

Melatonin can also prove extremely useful as an aid to countering the effects of jet lag. For many long-haul air travelers taking a very low dose of melatonin at the start of their flight and a slightly higher dose when going to bed at their destination has been shown to reduce the effects of jet lag insomnia.

Melatonin can also be very helpful when it comes to weaning yourself off those long overused sleeping pills. Although the benefits of discontinuing sleeping pills are considerable in the long-term, in the short-term giving up can add to your sleeping problems. One way to help in this process is therefore to replace your sleeping pills with melatonin.

Although melatonin is widely used as a dietary supplement, and has been available over the counter for many years now, its use is not regulated by any statutory authority and so there is little information regarding its interaction with other medications. If you do wish to use melatonin therefore and are currently taking any form of medication you should proceed with care and, if in any doubt, consult your doctor first.

Melatonin is nature's own sleeping pill and helps many thousands of people to overcome the problems of insomnia every day. Insomnia is a common problem, but it is also a condition that can be addressed with simple natural remedies, that include the use of dietary supplements such as melatonin.

Alternative Treatment for Asthma

Balaji B



Asthma is a respiratory disorder characterized by abnormal lung condition in which accumulation of mucus in the lungs is found. Natural asthma remedies are the most preferred way of treating asthma since the conventional methods of treatment for asthma may have a lot of side effects.



Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness are some of the symptoms caused by the narrowing or obstruction of the airways. Airway inflammation, a condition which makes the airways in the lungs turn red, swollen and narrow is one of the causes of narrowing or obstruction of the airways.



Herbal asthma aid is a natural product that is formulated with the medicinal herbs which is one of the most effective natural asthma remedies. Garlic, ginger and mustard are said to prevent the accumulation of mucus in the lungs and hence these are taken as natural asthma remedies. Herbs such as licorice have the tendency to expel the mucus from the lungs. This is used to clear the lung of mucus accumulation.



The ingredients of these products contain the herbs like Elecampane, Ginger, Garlic, Mustard and Licorice. The herbs mentioned above have medicinal properties that appose asthma symptoms. Licorice is an herb that clears the mucus accumulation from the lungs. If the patient is having high blood pressure he should not use licorice separately.



Before choosing any herbal remedy for asthma the patient has to consult a doctor to perform several diagnostic tests to confirm that he is having asthma. After the confirmation the patient can choose an herbal remedy for asthma in consultation with the doctor. The choice of the remedy depends on the condition of the patient.



Most of the people prefer an herbal remedy for asthma as it is known fact that they are more effective on a person without any side effects. It is the choice of a patient to choose an herbal remedy for asthma in consultation with a medical practitioner. They should consult a doctor before taking up any herbal remedy for asthma.

A Rush Home to Rapture

Keith Varnum





Riding a rush, being juiced, flying high—this is the feeling we strive for every day.

What's the huge attraction to this heightened state? Many medical authorities would have us believe that the desire for a constant high is an addiction—and an unhealthy and unrealistic one at that.

A Built-in Homing Device

My life experience reveals the opposite. Such a drive is not only healthy, but also very realistic. Our attraction to highs is a natural, built-in homing device implanted in us by the Universe. This attraction leads us to the Real McCoy in life—the real deal, real satisfaction. It's God's bait to get us to bite deeper into life's offerings.

A Call to Awaken Our Deeper Nature

This desire for peak excitement is fueled by a deep inner knowing that this buzz is a glimpse of our true natural state. On a very primal level, we connect this super feeling with our natural inheritance, our rightful birthright to feel good all the time.

It's the Universe's way of leading us home to the truth—that our very essence is this high frequency vibrational feeling. Our true "normal" human condition is to feel good.

Clues Abound

When I was ten years old, I noticed a strong, ecstatic rush of sensation within my being when I was in the presence of a wild animal, a cascading waterfall, a howling wind or an ancient tree.

I felt the exact same physical and psychic rapture when I sang Christmas carols and wild party songs, played Bach on the piano and Bo Diddly on the guitar.

Surprisingly, I reveled in the same tingling in my body when I sat in an empty church or a deserted sports stadium. I was the willing prey to the penetrating sound of silence.

Later, as I transformed from a boy into a teenager, I enjoyed this same intense emergence of sensual-spiritual electricity, warmth and connection when I began to jitterbug, go skinny dipping under a full moon, and fall in love over and over again.

What's Going on Here?

I was being introduced to much more than romantic, sexual awakening. My whole being was opening into the wonder and power of my true physical-spiritual nature: high voltage electricity!

This divine initiation cannot be discounted and discarded as merely "overactive hormones!" It is so much more.

In the West, we might describe this profound inner potency as Natural Vitality. The Chinese call this electro-magnetic force chi, the Japanese ki, the Indians prana, and native peoples primal life force.

Charisma is King

Natural Aliveness goes by many names. We describe a person possessing a lot of natural electricity as having a lot of charisma or a magnetic personality. Athletes seek the much-revered runner's high. When the gods are gracing someone's goals, we say the turned-on person is groovin, smokin, cookin, steamin—on fire!

No Waiting in Line

This exalted state is not the exclusive enjoyment of a fortunate birth or fanatic athlete. There's no shortage, quota or waiting list for this God-given gift. This Feel Good State is more available than most folks realize.

Place Your Order

To live in a high octane, high octave state, all we need to do is order it. When we invite and welcome this exhilaration, we soon realize that it's available 24/7 from endless sources in our everyday environment.

Feel Beyond the Form

The secret to opening to the rush of life's Feel Good Energy is to look beneath the surface of whatever outer forms we encounter. The key to unlocking the juice is the intention to experience life "behind the scenes."

When you approach any activity with the intention and attitude that you will receive energy—a lift or boost—from the interplay, then you will. And, in the same manner, when you expect the interaction to require of you a lot of extra effort—work, struggle—then it will.

The seer (see-er) determines the outcome of every life interaction to be either energy-giving or energy-draining.

A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose

Ancient and native peoples know the truth about energy. So do quantum physicists. Energy—Life Force—constitutes and animates all solid "things." Underneath all surface appearances flows pulsating power. Behind all formal exteriors lies electric aliveness.

Energy is energy is energy—no matter what the form. Knowing this fact, you can consciously decide to tap into the aliveness—the vitality—at the core of all matter, form and situations.

The Gift

The most profound, practical benefit of Natural Vitality is the gateway it gives you to receive energy from every aspect of your environment—human, plant, animal, mineral, chemical, plastic, solar, stellar, elemental, extraterrestrial, inter-dimensional, angelic and Ascended Master.

Natural Vitality is choosing to have a conscious, constant, vibrant, heart-body-soul connection with all living beings and all forms of life—even the "so-called" inanimate ones.

Fund Your Dreams

This Life Force can be used to heal, enrich and transform yourself, others and the planet. When you learn to allow Natural Essence to rise upward through your physical chakra energy centers, you rejuvenate every cell in your body, dissolve blocked emotional pathways and access unlimited power to create your dreams.

By connecting this energy with the heart, it becomes prayer. As this energy ascends into your consciousness, visions and revelations blossom. Kundalini Rising ultimately leads to communion with the Divine.

Sacred In-to-me-see

Sacred Intimacy is an ancient and graceful channel to unlocking Natural Vitality.

To call something "sacred" means to hallow or venerate it, to consecrate and dedicate it to an important purpose—like allowing yourself to be filled with Source Essence. "Intimate" in Latin means "a close friend."

In-to-me-see is choosing to see every experience as a friend, ready to give you a sacred gift if you allow it. To see into the true nature of any form or situation is to find a friend, a field of self-feeding energy. You have the power to make every activity a "sacred act"—be it petting an animal, cutting vegetables, or shopping in a supermarket.

Yoga Unites

Yoga means union. Seeing the common energy nature of all life forms and situations allows us to feel union with all people and experiences. All life encounters become energy-enriching interactions. Meld into the flow of your shower, the softness of your bed, the color of the sunset, the roar of a wave, the curve of a rock.

Sex Connects

"Sex" means coitus, union, a coming together. When you experience all aspects of life as having the same essential nature as you, you easily feel the connection, merging and sharing of Life Force with all "things." Exchange energy with your plants, your paintings, your fresh clean laundry!

Ecstasy is Our Natural State

The word "ecstasy" comes from the Greek meaning of ec: to move out of and stasis: status quo, static, fixed. When you "break through to the other side" of any old stuck condition, you enjoy the exhilaration of experiencing life in a fresh, different, new way. Bliss is our birthright.

Re-Light the Fire in Your Belly

We're all born with a passion and zest for life. We meet challenges, obstacles and disappointments along the rough road of growing up. Much of our Original Joy for life becomes muted.

You can re-kindle the exuberance of being alive by approaching life as an adventurous treasure hunt for the lost gold—your natural radiant core.

And, lucky for us, all paths lead to Primal Life Force—because Natural Aliveness is the very essence of the path itself.

Male Impotence and Treatment

Mark Stevenson




Impotence is a very general illness in men. The psychological factors involved with illnesses are important, and in considering illnesses that affect people in this way it must be realized what the core reason for the sensitivity is. With every ailment that one gets, there is a certain amount of distress.

It is known that there are a significantly number of people who suffer with impotence in other words in a common condition arising because of known factors. However, when one gets it the natural response is worry and becoming sensitive. This is because most people assume that their condition is going to be a permanent condition; a thought that is also very natural (fearing the worst).

Men usually fear the worst when they realize that they suffer from impotence. This is because of the natural sensitivity towards their sexuality or masculinity; without it, men are usually at a loss, and this is because of their animal instinct. They are extremely sensitive to the issue, and if they suffer from impotence, they are keen to try almost any remedy to cure them.

Indeed, with the newer treatments available for curing impotence there is more hope and more enthusiasm as well. People with impotence tend to remain sensitive until they are cured, and even during treatment they feel this way.

Male Hair Loss: Natural Hair Loss Treatment

Kathlene Capelle




Men have been fighting hair loss since the beginning of time with methods that are at times ridiculous and dangerous. Today's man has more choices than previous generations, but harsh and unnatural chemicals may not be the first choice for many men. Fortunately, there are several hair loss products that are based on traditional, natural treatments that may be just as effective.

Male pattern baldness is often genetic and/or related to too much dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the follicles of the scalp. This is a specific type of testosterone that is only found in hair follicles. For years, saw palmetto oil has been used to treat prostate problems, and it has been found to have some beneficial effect in blocking the DHT that causes most male hair loss.

A good multivitiman containing B5, folic acid, silica and biotin will help maintain hair health, but be sure to regulate your dosages carefully. Taking in excess of 30mg of zinc daily can cause a copper deficiency, often linked to hair loss. Before supplementing copper, restrict your intake of zinc, as copper can become toxic.

Traditional asian medicine links hair loss to kidney malfunction and often prescribes a kidney tonic to correct male hair loss. Another ancient remedy is aromatherapy and the use of essential oils. A combination of rosemary, thyme, lavender and cedarwood was studied in Scotland and the results were encouraging. The essential oils were mixed with a carrier oil, either almond or grapeseed oil, warmed and then rubbed into the scalp. The treatment was continued with a warm head wrap. Used for several months, the tonic helped over 40% of the study's participants regrow hair.

Perhaps the easiest natural treatment for male hair loss is a change of diet. Increasing foods rich in iron and silica seems to help strengthen the existing hair and encourage new growth. Consider adding foods rich in silica like potato and cucumber skins, peppers and sprouts.

In today's overly medicated society, many are hesitant to try another prescription drug. You have a choice not to. Many of the natural hair loss treatments are pleasant and more often than not, have no side effects. You may be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Male Breast Enlargement Products - Men's Options for Transgender Breast Enlargement

Danna Schneider



Transgender Breast Growth - Why Men Can Now Naturally Grow
Breast Tissue Just Like Women




Male to female breast enlargement and enhancement is gaining
quite a bit of popularity these days. While it is true that most
breast augmentations, whether a natural or surgical method, are
performed on women, there are also a number of men desiring male
breast enlargement.



Many male to female transexuals, female impersonators, cross
dressing men, or just men with certain fetishes or special
interests seek to enlarge their breasts and make them look and
feel like female breasts to improve their self confidence and
self image, just like the women who are seeking larger breasts.



There is actually almost no difference between male and female
breast tissue, except that the balance of estrogenic hormones in
a woman's body outnumber a man's, and this is what determines
the volume of breast tissue.



Men seeking male to female breast enlargement or "shemale"
breast enlargement as it has been termed, actually have the same
options women do. Those options are male breast augmentation
surgery, or a natural male or female breast enhancement pill or
system designed to naturally enlarge the male breast by
stimulating the body's own hormones and essentially manipulating
them to grow new breast tissue by creating a new hormonal
balance.



While there is a condition in men and young boys, often
unwanted, called Gynecomastia, that results in female-like
breast development in males, the technology and product
development to recreate this natural phenomena in men who
actually desire breast growth, has been a little more difficult
to harness. It is actually hypothetically and scientifically
easier to enlarge women's breasts due to a pre-existing
abundance of breast tissue growth-inducing hormones and
chemicals. So, if a man wants to grow his breasts to look and
feel more like a female's breasts, then what are his natural
options?



There are a few natural male breast enhancers currently
available today that really do work and help men develop breast
tissue like a female. These male breast enlargement programs are
quickly gaining popularity and recognition in the transgender
world as a highly effective, nonsurgical method of growing the
male breasts.



What to Look for in Male Breast Enlargement Products



As with any other natural remedy or supplement, the potential
buyer should be aware of any possible allergies or sensitivities
they may have to certain herbs or foods. Also, be aware if you
are taking a preparation that contains any type of
phytoestrogens, as this type of supplement, when combined the
male hormonal chemistry, can cause issues with acne, mood
swings, and other hormone-related issues.



Men can definitely get results from natural male breast
enlargement products, they just need to find one that
specifically targets the male breast. Success is yours with the
right product!

No one can deny the power of magnets, racing pigeons find their way home across thousands of miles, and Salmon use the earth's magnetic pulses to travel through oceans to make their way back to their spawning grounds.
The ancient Celts built their places of worship at points where the earth's magnetic ley lines intersect.

Are you sitting there reading this and rubbing your wrist because your arthritis is playing up again?
Do you avoid walking up stairs as your knees hurt so much?

Magnets have been helping guide animals around the world for millions of years; they can now help you with your pain.

In the December 2004 issue of the British Medical Journal, one study concluded that wearing magnetic bracelets can significantly reduce the pain of arthritis.
As more questions are raised every day over the use of drugs (Celebrex or Vioxx) to assist in pain relief for arthritis, the study is good news to the over 70 million Americans suffering from the disease.

Arthritis affects one in three adults in the United States, and over half of those feel that there is nothing that can be done to ease their pain.
It is a sad world when people will suffer their pain rather than take medication as they are so frightened of the potential side affects of the prescribed medications.

Magnetic therapy offers a natural risk free pain relief for people who suffer with Arthritis.
The British Medical Journal recently published an article in which researchers acknowledged the need for more research regarding the placebo effect. We know that believing in any particular remedy is more likely to create a positive subjective report of improvement. It's also true that taking any kind of action to alleviate pain results in some sense of ease.

Can magnetic therapy products really help me?

•The British Medical journal thinks so and it definitely can't hurt you.
•Magnetic therapy products are natural and offer natural pain relief.
•You wear them on your body, no invasive operations.
•Cost/benefit, the cost of trying Magnetic therapy products is much lower than trying various drug therapies.

Arthritis pain really wears you down as it drags on for years and years; try magnetic therapy products for natural pain relief.

Macular Degeneration

Alfred Jones




Cranberry Juice is very rich in Antioxidants and Nutrients which can help to prevent degenerative illnesses and diseases, particularly those associated with the eyes, it is a well known supplement that is frequently used in overcoming UTIs or Urinary Tract Infections, and it could be called a vitamin that boosts the immune system, by increasing and improving cellular communication within the body.



Cranberries are very popular in the United States, especially around Thanksgiving Day, because it has become traditional to have it as a sauce with the Thanksgiving Turkey. The berries are very tangy and tasty, they are also loaded with Vitamin C, they were often used by sailors in days gone by, to prevent scurvy.



When Cranberry Juice is taken for Urinary Tract Infections, researchers found that patients passed a anti bacterial substance in their urine, which cured the infection. Unfortunately UTI is one of those diseases that is inclined to periodically return and become a chronic condition especially among ladies. More research has found that if taken regularly, it can be very effective in preventing a return of the infection.



Cranberry Juice is thought to attack the infection in two ways, one is through the acidity that is produced in the urine, which attacks the bacteria, secondly the Vitamin C content is an essential element in helping the immune system to do its work, because it is receiving what is needed, for efficient functioning. The immune system is the natural healer of all illnesses and diseases in the body, but of course it must have the required vitamins and nutrition for this purpose.



Cranberry Juice can also help in preventing degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, strokes and certain cancers, Cataracts are a cause for concern among the elderly, with vision impairment or even blindness, it has been know to slow down and even stop the progressive deterioration of cataracts.

It has also been shown to be very beneficial in helping to slow down macular degeneration, and to reduce the blood leakage with diabetic retinopathy.



I am not in the business of selling either Cranberries or Cranberry Juice, there are already plenty of suppliers out there, so there should not be any difficulty in obtaining a quality product, try to go for a good brand, that is as natural as it can possible be, and do not choose the cheapest, as this could be a false economic choice.

The point that I am making, is that this, is an excellent natural remedy for a number of problems. Cranberries are considered safe for everyone, but if you are going to take it for medicinal purposes, Please consult with your physician first, Antibiotics might be considered necessary, first before trying Cranberry Juice.

Licorice root side effects

John Gibb



If you are thinking about taking Licorice Root, it is important to know all the possible Licorice Root side effects before you begin a regimen. This is a must with any supplement you may take, and here we'll help describe the side effects featured by this natural remedy.


One problem with Licorice Root is that it can raise your blood pressure. Few people know that even a lot of licorice candy can raise your blood pressure! If you are afflicted with hypertension, or disease of the heart, liver, or kidney, Licorice Root may not be the supplement for you. Pregnant and nursing women should not try to harness the benefits of the Licorice Root, for it is unknown what kind of effects this supplement can have with regards to the child.


Another important thing to note, as with any supplements, is that you should never exceed the recommended dose. These are placed for a reason and over-killing a supplement can actually be detrimental to your health. These precautions regarding Licorice Root side effects apply to all sources of the remedy, including capsules, lozenges, tablets, tinctures, dried herbs, or teas. If none of these side-effects apply to you, then check out what Licorice Root has to offer:


One of the longest used herbal remedies, Licorice Root has been useful time and time again to help to alleviate coughing and ease an upset stomach. Chinese believe Licorice Root can help to extend your lifespan, although this is not proven. In addition to these features, Licorice Root has anti-inflammatory effects, immune system boosters, and many other wonderful features. For instance, containing antioxidants and flavonoids, the root can have estrogen-like effects, helping to ease PMS and menstrual problems.


Now that you know the benefits and shortcomings of Licorice Root, you can make a more informed decision on whether this herb is right for you.

Lemon And Parsley Home Remedies

Lee Dobbins



You might think of lemon and parsley as great garnishes for your drink glass and plate, but did you know that you can use them to ease symptoms of common minor ailments?



Sure, the lemon makes a good drink and even tastes good squirted on fish, but you might want to make sure you have some on hand for more than dinner. The lemon can be your best friend when you have a common headache. Simply cut a long strip of the rind and put it on your forehead – rub in the inside white part and then fasten it to your head. Sure, you'll look a little nutty but who cares as long as it gets rid of the ache!



Lemon peel is not only good for the head, but for the feet too! One age old remedy for corns is to apply a lemon peel (white side against the corn) to the corn and affix it so that it stays on overnight. You can remove it during the day, but repeat each night for 7 days.



Parsley is another great home remedy food that is often left uneaten on the side of the plate. Besides being rich in potassium and vitamins it is also reputed to strengthen the kidneys and help with waste removal. And not only that, but it can help relive bad breath too! So next time you get some parsley on your plate, eat up!



Parsley is also good as a topical remedy for bruises. Next time you have a bruise, crush up some parsley leaves and apply straight to the affected area.



One other problem that parsley is a good remedy for is bladder infections. You've probably experienced how quickly cranberry juice can clear up one of these, but if you don't like cranberries or get sick of drinking it, try a parsley tea. Simply pour some boiled water over parsley and let steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain out the parsley and drink.

Why everyone talking bout home

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Kyolic clears constipation and strengthens your colon

rudy silva



Garlic is another wonder herb. It has action in all areas of your body and can help you eliminate constipation. You can find it in capsules in a brand call Kyolic.



Kyolic is a special garlic preparation, which is aged for 20 months in stainless steel tanks. With this aging, garlic odor is eliminated and certain chemicals are enhanced – S-allyl-mercaptocysteine, S-allyl-cysteine. These chemicals are powerful sources for fighting various diseases – cancer, heart and liver disease.



Kyolic cleanses, soothes, and reduces inflammation throughout your gastrointestinal tract. It is rich in potassium, which is necessary colon wall contraction.



Kyolic is also effective in killing pathogens and bad bacteria that live in your colon and elsewhere in your body. It also binds to heavy metals and other toxins that exist in the blood and colon and sweeps them out of the rectum. Aside from helping in constipation, it is helpful for reducing,



· fungus and other bacteria in your ear

· skin lesions due to bites or insects stings – use liquid form

· arthritis – requires 12 capsules a day

· diabetes – requires 12 capsules a day.



You can buy it in capsule and liquid form. Capsules are easy to take and have no side effects.



Here's how to use it,



§ For mild cases of constipation take 2 tablets once or twice a day.

§ For moderate cases of constipation take 2 tablets three times a day

§ For severe cases of constipation take 2 tablets five times a day.



Or if you prefer you can take 4-5 Kyolic capsules just before going to bed.



Continue this until your constipation is cleared. You can combine this Kyolic remedy with the apples and spinach remedy to help rebuild and remove toxic material, which builds up along your colon walls.



Continuous use of Kyolic is not harmful. It is the allicin in garlic that provides the stimulation to your colon to produce peristaltic movement.



Kyolic can be bought in health food stores or on the Internet. Just type in Kyolic into the google search engine.



Garlic has blood-thinning abilities. Using it with blood thinning drugs, pentoxifylline, NSAID's is potentially dangerous since excessive blood thinning can increase blood-clotting time. Do not use 3 days before any surgical procedure.



Garlic can also cause an allergic reaction or an upset stomach in some people.



Do not use garlic if breast-feeding. Garlic can get into the breast milk giving the baby colic.



Garlic in the Kyolic capsules is an excellent way to deal with constipation. Using it improves you colon function and gives you body nutrients that make it stronger.

Jewelweed, Poison Ivy Treatment from Nature

Judi Singleton



Jewelweed, Poison Ivy Treatment from Nature

Impatiens capensis Other names:Pale Touch-Me-Not, Touch-Me-Not, Wild

Celandine, Spotted Touch-Me-Not, Speckled Jewels, Balsam Weed, Wild

Balsam, Balsam A'Florae, Slipperweed, Silverweed, Wild Lady's Slipper,

Quick-in-the-hand

I love these old names for plants they are so descriptive. You might

know Jewelweed by any of the above names. It is a member of the

Impatiens family and even the impatiens we plant in the yard have some

medicinal value against the below nasties of the wild.

Well, The weather is warm and it is time to get out in nature again. If

you are like me you like to hike and camp but there are some things

about nature that are not so much fun, like poison ivy and poison oak.
Jewelweed is a natural remedy and preventative for poison ivy, oak,
Jewel Weed is an effective natural herbal remedy not only for poison

ivy, but also for poison oak, okra spines, stinging nettle, and other

irritating plants; as well as bug bites and razor burn. Jewel Weed, is

also used for acne, heat rash, ringworm and many other skin disorders.
When traveling across the United States a few years ago I got bit by

chiggers and it proved effective for those rascally little buggers

which itch like crazy. Here are some of the other uses of Jewel Weed I

found in the herbal books. antiparasitic,digestive aid,diuretic,As a

diuretic, it is effective in cases of edema (dropsy).
liver stimulant,mildly laxative. In ointments, it can be used to treat

hemorrhoids and other varicose conditions.




Jewelweed is a smooth annual; 3-5 ft. Leaves oval, round- toothed;

lower ones opposite, upper ones alternate. A bit trumpet shaped, the

flowers hang from the plant much as a jewel from a necklace, Pale

Jewelweed has yellow flowers, Spotted Touch-Me-Nots have orange flowers

with dark red dots. The seeds will 'pop' when touched , that is where

the name came from. The Spotted Jewelweed variety is most commonly used

for rashes although the Pale Jewelweed may also have medicinal

properties. Jewelweed usually grows in wet spots next to creeks and

river beds. It grows in the vicintiy of poison oak, poison ivy and

stinging nettles. Yes, Mother Nature was very nice to us there. Jewel

weed's nectar attracts hummingbirds.

If you step in a patch of poison Ivy or poison oak don't rub it no

matter how much it itches as rubbing cause the oil to spread. Many

people even get the rash from their pets fur. If you can find Jewel

Weed you are in luck. Shred the leaves and put the juice on the rash

immediately. Fresh juice is best but if you can preserve it by freezing

ahead of time that works too. Freeze the leaves in ice cubes and

spread it on the rash. The tea is said to work like a preventive.

Itchy Skin Relief - Natural Remedy Worked Perfectly For My Itchy Skin !

Keiko Entwistle




Are you suffering from itchy skin ?

I know the feeling how terrible it is and makes you feel frustrated.

I had been suffering from allergies since my childhood. Asthma, sinusitis, skin problems especially for itchy skin for a long time.

I grew up in Tokyo, Japan and every winter season, I had to go to see a doctor to get some drugs and treatment cream for the itchy skin. During spring season, I was suffering from my hay fever, and during autumn season my asthma always appeared.

Going to see doctors and taking drugs were two of my life's habit.

However, all the drugs worked only in the beginning, and I needed to take them often to kill the itch and other allergies.

Especially, while I was sleeping, the itches made me crazy because the drugs and cream didn't help me.

I could not stop scratching everywhere even though I knew it would make it worse.

I had no idea that I could cure my itchy skin.

I moved to St. Louis, MO in the U.S.A. after I got married about 4 years ago and while I was there, I didn't have to take any drugs for my itchy skin. Maybe St. louis weather fit me

However, my husband had been suffering from his hay fever during autum to winter season for a long time since he moved to St, louis for his work. It seems St. louis is one of the worst places for allergy patients. So we decided to moved to Tucson,AZ a year later because we heard about Tucson is a good place for hay fever and allergies.

We took a road trip to move to Tucson and soon after we arrived at Sedona, AZ, my itchy skin reappeared because Arizona is desert place and it's very dry.

I needed to buy skin moisturizng lotion there and without that, I could'nt sleep.

Putting Moisturizing lotions was not really comfortable , It makes your skinfeel really sticky and also it didn't work enough.

But I often had to put on the moisturizing lotions. My husband also got itchy skin since our italy trip. And it got worse and worse even after we came back from our trip. We tried many kind of relief, but they all didn't work.

Aloe and also Echinacea are famous for skin problem so we tried it but it also didn't help our itchy skin.

Our skin rashes were getting worse and worse, because we could not stop scratching.

How we cured our Itchy skin ?

While we were suffering from our itchy skin problem, I got serious lung problem in June. I could'nt breathe deeply because of the pain. It was really serious. I was afraid I need to have an operation for it. And I didn't want to go to a hospital because I didn't want to take drug and wanted to fix with natural way since I read about natural remedies.

My husband rushed to a library to find out if there was any natural cure and he bought several combinations of herbs on his way home.

Then I took the herbs he recommended. and in the next day , my lung problem was gone !

We both were really shocked and since then my husband started researching more about the power of herbs, and testing many kind of herbs.

Within 2 months, he discovered an amazing herb formula. Since he tested one of the herb, his itchy skin was gone within a day !

So I also tried it.

Yes ! It worked perfectly !

How nice we can sleep without any itchy feeling !

We don't have to use skin moisturizng lotion any more.

There is no info saying that this herb works for itchy skin.

It was by accident my husband found that herb.

He continued researching more about the natural remedies because he also wanted to cure his hay fever and a year later, finally he could discover his original strong hay fever natural remedy cure.

Now we both are having a very healthy life.

I had been suffering from my health problem a long time, so I can really say without health, we can not have happy life.

Natural remedies work ! You just have to take correct ones.

Is Natural Acne Treatment Right For You?

Bjorn Gutter



Acne can happen to you. In fact it can happen to any of us. Usally acne starts up in the face and can cause embarrassment and even avoidance of going out in public.

Some people only experience light, occasional break-outs. Unfortunately for others, this problem can go on for years and requires treatment.

There are several choices when it comes to healing your acne. A dermatologist is recommended for severe or frequent blemishes. Natural acne treatment is the ideal remedy for milder cases.

Natural acne treatment is simple. Changing your diet or taking herbs and vitamins to cleanse and provide additional nutrition could be enough to clear your skin up. You should eliminate sugars, oils, and fats from your diet as much as possible. They are not part of a good balanced diet and are all unhealthy to begin with.

Start drinking water instead of sugary soda and eat a vegetable snack instead of you usual chips. You will notice that this is not a difficult change to make. Being overall healthier will reflect the health of your skin. It has been debated that diet has no effect on acne.

Diet alone is not a suitable natural acne treatment. However, modifying your diet in addition to taking certain vitamins can clear up your skin. Taking certain vitamins is a great natural acne treatment used by many people. Zinc can prevent acne from ever occurring. It also heals existing blemishes.

Vitamin A in small doses reduces the production of your skin's natural oil, called sebum. Certain herbal blends are also of help to your body and your skin.The advantages to natural acne treatment are that you avoid ever having to see a dermatologist, your body will benefit from healthier eating, and you are not exposing your skin to harsh chemicals.

Visiting a dermatologist to take care of your acne can get expensive. It usually requires many follow-up visits and paying for prescriptions. This can also be time consuming and overall just not worth it if your acne is not severe enough to actually require it.

Avoiding greasy foods will keep your system clean, which is beneficial to your general health as well as your skin. Proper acne medicines include ingredients that can cause your skin to be sensitive to sunlight or even diminish your condition. Changing your diet and taking vitamins are not the only available possibilities as natural acne treatment.

You could suffer from stress-induced acne. Alternatives to reduce stress in your life are different from person to person because everyone gets stressed out by different things. Exercising and having plenty of rest can be of help to calm the stress in your life. Maybe taking a walk or practicing yoga would help you to relax and clear your mind to be stress-free. A life without stress could be a life without suffering from acne.

Perhaps natural treatment may not be the right answer to your acne, depending on the origin of it. Experimenting is an easy and painless method to try, and it could save you a lot of money if it is right for you.

Is Citrus Aurantium really bad for your health?

Lee Cummings





Once again the "wisdom" of the FDA and the supplement hating Academia and the out of control trial lawyers - have gotten it wrong. And are doing everything they can to take away your right to take control of your own health.

Here's the problem –

They are brewing up several false angles to make you believe that Citrus Aurantium is somehow dangerous to your health.

Really? Are you aware that the Chinese have only been using this safely to improve their digestive health for over 2000 years?

The Chinese and other Asian cultures have used this safe, natural Herb for over 2000 years for good digestive health.

I am talking about the safe, natural herb Citrus Aurantium.

Let's give the Chinese people credit where credit is due. Do you really think they would be using this safe, natural herb for over 2000 years if it was not good for their health?

Nothing which is bad for your health gets used for very long.

This absolute arrogance on the part of the FDA, academia and trial lawyers which is costing you your health and your freedom.

Anyone can look up the fully documented facts about this herb and how it has been used for thousands of years.

The following story and I do mean story, as in this is not fact, has been run all over the media, the internet "news" sites and supposed "health watch" type sites which proclaim to be watching out for your health while pushing dangerous prescription drugs.

http://gumc.georgetown.edu/communications/releases/release.cfm?ObjectID=3341

This article contains absolutely no scientific proof.

Where are the lawyers as people are now dying and suffering? Adverse health effects from prescription drugs? Will the pharmaceutical companies ever be held accountable for? the deaths and the adverse health consequences they and the doctors who prescribe these drugs cause?

Here is a more accurate article on this health giving herb.

http://www.foodqualitynews.com/news/news-NG.asp?id=54469

Where are all the stories and hand wringing over the adverse effects on your health from dangerous prescription drugs?

Fact: Each year there are currently over 100,000 deaths which are caused By properly prescribed drugs of all types in hospitals.-1

Here is the next myth widely distributed in the media –

That some foods have adverse reactions with drugs.

Food interacting badly with drugs?

Wrong, drugs interact with grapefruit juice and other safe, natural healthy foods.

Once again the media have it backwards.

Drugs are not a normal part of a person's diet.

They would have you believe that you should not eat healthy grapefruit and should instead ingest their liver and kidney killing drugs which inhibit your body in its ability to absorb the nutrition in your food.

Fact: unwanted interactions between supplements and drugs were not serious In 94 percent of the cases -2.

Never mind that drugs interacting with other drugs are proven to be dangerous and deadly to people.

One only has to look at the recent recall of the arthritis and Acute pain drug Vioxx™ as yet another example of the real health danger to consumers.

This drug has proven to cause an increase in the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Read on …

http://www.thewbalchannel.com/health/3772349/detail.html

Where are the articles warning you of this?

Are you going to avoid safe, natural, healthy foods and load up on drugs?

Your health is in your hands. It is your right to believe the drug companies, lawyers and self proclaimed academics with no scientific proof.

Where are their thousands of years of providing real healthy solutions to real health problems?

What they offer are decades of harming your health. Guaranteed. Just listen to or read their list of side effects. You know them well don't you.

Will you stand up for your freedom and write your Senators and Congressmen?

Or will you sit idly by as your freedoms are taken away one by One and you no longer have a choice to control your own health.

What is next? Will they decide to ban food because it contains many of these same nutrients?

Demand accountability from the FDA, urge your legislators to uphold your freedoms and stop the banning of supplements, Vitamins, minerals and herbs which have a track record proven to be safe for thousands of years.

Insomnia Cure - How I Did It

GiGi Konwin



Chances are, if you are suffering from insomnia or have other sleep problems, you've already read plenty of articles about cures for insomnia.


Sound Advice?


The advice in those articles seemed like sound advice:


" Keep your bedroom cool
" Remove distractions
" Try to establish a consistent routine
" Limit alcohol and caffeine, etc.


But somehow that advice hasn't worked for you. Why?


The Drug Cycle


If you're like me, you have an Ambien (or some other sleeping pill) prescription that you try not to abuse. So you cut the pill in half and limit how often you take it. Every once in a while, after a few days of sleepless nights, you take a half - it feels so good to have a full night's sleep, even if it IS drug-induced. You swear you'll wait a while to take another but the next night you have problems falling asleep BECAUSE you took the Ambien the night before. And so the cycle begins all over again. Sound familiar?


A Solution


Is there a way to break the drug cycle?
Is there a natural cure for insomnia that really works?
For me, it came in an e-book written by Kacper Postawski. Finally, a way to break the sleeping pill cycle using natural methods. Many of his suggestions were common sense theories I had heard before, but some were new to me.


What's Different?


What's different about this book is that the sleep cycle is fully explained in a way that makes sense. You not only learn what happens in your body during the sleep cycle, but also why certain activities you do affect your sleep patterns. This is powerful information. Why? Because now you have the tools to get off those pills forever!


Imagine how good it would feel to WELCOME going to bed at night instead of dreading the endless tossing and turning?


Let's Get Real


Do I sleep soundly every night? No, of course not. There are nights I still toss and turn, but now I know why. I'm simply NOT applying the techniques I've learned from his book. So it's an easy fix to remedy the problem and get back on track. I can restfullysay that I am off the Ambien and feeling much better.


An Added Bonus


Many of the recommendations in this book will also improve other areas in your life because they are good for your overall health. You may choose not to follow some of the recommendations, but you only have yourself to blame if you don't get a good night's sleep.


If you are serious about finally breaking your insomnia habit once and for all, I urge you to take a look at this powerful book. Click on the link below and you'll get two free chapters!

How Your Hair Loss Product Works: Hair Growth 101

Barton Griffen




Once you know the basics of how your hair grows, you can make better choices about using a hair loss product or herbal hair loss remedy. If you can choose the right herbal hair loss product, you can keep your hair growing longer and stronger for years to come.





Hair Follicles: Your cellular powerhouse.



The first two outer layers of your skin are called the epidermis and the dermis. The dermis contains a rich lode of blood vessels, nerve endings, fat reserves, and your hair follicles.



The follicle is depression that penetrates into your dermis, the second layer of skin. This is where all the hair-growing action takes place. Once you understand this, you can see the basic flaw in many hair loss remedies. A hair loss product that you apply directly to your scalp has little chance of penetrating down to your dermis, where all the new hair growth takes place. Some chemical hair loss remedies can do this, but these hair loss products have other drawbacks that we'll get to later.



At the bottom of the follicle there's a bundle of cells called the papilla. The papilla contains all the blood vessels that feed the hair, and also produces new hair cells. The ideal hair loss product feeds and nourishes the cells of the papilla. These cells are highly active in a healthy, hair-producing follicle. The cells constantly divide and create new hair cells. As the new hair cells are formed, older cells are pushed up and out of the follicle, creating the hair shaft.



The follicles go through a regular 3-phase cycle. In the anagen phase, or growth period, the papilla is vigorously active, producing strong, thick hair. The catagen is like the yellow light, when the growth slows down. The telogen phase is the resting period. It's like a red light, where cell production stops. If the follicle is healthy, this last phase is temporary. Soon the light turns green, and the papilla goes back into the anagen phase again, creating new hair.



The papilla is your key to treating and preventing hair loss. Although there are many different causes of hair loss, the effect is always the same: the papilla produces fewer and weaker hair cells, or stops producing altogether. If you can find an herbal hair loss product that nourishes the papilla and stimulates the production of healthy new hair cells, you'll grow stronger, healthier hair.





Conventional Hair Loss Treatment



Conventional hair loss treatment tends to do one of two things. In the first case, chemicals are introduced to stimulate the papilla to more activity. The only FDA-approved chemicals that do this are Minoxidil and Finasteride.



Minoxidil works by making the anagen phase of hair growth last longer. Researchers don't completely understand how it works. Once you take this hair loss product, you have to keep on taking it, because if you stop this hair loss remedy your hair will rapidly return to its old hair loss pattern.



Finasteride slows down the speed of hair loss, but the method isn't completely understood. This hair loss remedy has been known to cause ambiguous genitalia in male fetuses, so it's unhealthy for women to use this hair loss treatment.



Nobody really knows the long-term effects of continuously using these drugs.



Another conventional hair loss remedy is "transplants." In this case, individual follicles are taken from a "donor patch" of healthy hair, and "planted" in the thin or bald areas. If you've listened to salesmen pitching traditional hair loss remedies, you've probably heard the analogy between your hair and a plant. But your scalp is not a patch of topsoil!



Many people have been pleased with the results of this method of hair loss treatment, but it still has some drawbacks. It is expensive, costing upwards of several thousand dollars to complete. It requires that you still have healthy hair on some part of your head, and that you're willing to sacrifice some of it to create thicker hair elsewhere.



Finally, transplanting active follicles doesn't treat the conditions that caused the follicles to become inactive in the first place. Only a hair loss product that nourishes the hair-producing cells can do that.





"Hair Food" vs. Hair Nutrition



A new approach that's showing a lot of promise is that of "feeding" your hair follicles with an herbal hair loss product. Our fast-paced modern lifestyle makes it hard to have an ideal diet, and the food you eat doesn't always pack the nutritional punch that it should.



When your body doesn't get enough nutrients, it may "ration" them. The richest supply will go to your brain and other vital organs, while less important parts of the body, such as the hair follicles, get depleted.



Some herbal hair loss remedies try to "feed" your hair with a special shampoo or lotion for your scalp. The idea is that your hair is like a field of corn, and you can just dump some fertilizer and expect your crop to grow better.



But remember, your scalp is skin, and the main purpose of your skin is to keep things out. While outer skin cells may be able to absorb oil, and become more soft and pliable in the process (think of sunscreen or moisturizer, for example), most topical hair loss products aren't likely to penetrate into the living cells of the papilla, deep in the second layer of the dermis.



If you want to nourish your hair, you need to do it through the blood. Many traditional herbs can do this, but you need the right combination of herbs to perform three crucial tasks:



1. Direct. You need herbs that will boost circulation to the follicles, to make sure the other herbs and nutrients will reach them.



2. Cleanse. Once the formulas reach the follicles, you need some agent that will help remove toxins and the buildup of dead cells and other obstructing substances, so that the papilla are free to absorb fresh nutrients to produce healthier hair cells.



3. Nourish. Finally, the abundant compounds can get in, providing the papilla with the basic building blocks that are critical for growing new hair cells.



Samson's Secret has the right herbal hair loss remedy for improving your hair and rejuvenating old follicles. Our secret is in addressing the root causes of hair loss, so that you can improve and rejuvenate your hair.



When choosing the herbal hair loss product that's right for you, you need to get to the root of the problem. Only the hair loss remedy that feeds your papilla can promote the natural, long-term health of longer, stronger hair. Samsons' Secret is the ideal hair loss product.

How to use cascara sagrada as a constipation remedy

rudy silva



Cascara Sagrada comes from the bark of the buckthorn tree. It stimulates your colon to produce stronger contraction than normal. When it does this, it can work on the most difficult and chronic cases of constipation.



It is one of the herbal constipation remedies with a strong laxative effect. It will be found in many herbal combinations that are mixed for constipation. Cascara has Chrysophanic acid, which stimulates your colon wall to produce peristaltic action. Cascara also contains a chemical called emodin, which controls the strong action of Chrysophonic acid thus producing a balanced laxative effect.



If you use cascara in a constipation remedy mixture, do not use this mixture for more than thirty days. After 30 days take a rest from it. Do not use Cascara in large amounts and for long periods since it can cause intestinal distress and become habit-forming. When you use it, you will see results in 1-2 days.



Cascara Sagrada also stimulates secretions from the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and stomach. These secretions give Cascara additional laxative effects.



Do not use Cascara Sagrada if you have irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, or ulcers. Use Cascara for a limited time. It can become habit-forming and, if used for an extended time, it can increase the risk of colon cancer. Its use also causes you to lose potassium with each bowel movement.



If you have liver problems do not use cascara sagrada full strength. Use it in combination with other herbs. Cascara is known to put a strain on the liver.



You can take Cascara Sagrada as a single herb for constipation. As a single herb, it can cause cramping and nausea. However, I recommend you used it with other herbs. In an herbal combination, the combination can detoxify your colon, tonify your colon walls, cleanse the blood and produce other synergistic actions.



In Michael Murray, N.D., book called The Pill Book Guide to Natural Medicines, he talks about the drug interaction of cascara sagrada,



"Cascara and other stimulant laxatives may decrease absorption of other drugs that pass through the gastrointestinal tract. If you are currently taking an oral medication, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before self-medicating with cascara.

Cascara may potentiate the action of digoxin and other heart medications due to potassium depletion. The use of cascara with thiazide diuretics and corticosteroids may further decrease potassium levels."



Recommend dose for the cascara sagrada, as a single herb, is 350 – 1000mg just before bedtime.



Use 1-4 cascara sagrada powder capsules a night, but do not use these capsules for more than 10 days. Start with 1 capsule a night and increase the amount each day until you get results you want.



For a laxative tea, use one teaspoon of cascara bark in 3 cups of boiling water for 20 minutes. Drink 1-2 cups of tea just before bedtime after it has cooled to room temperature.



Cascara Sagrada is a strong constipation remedy and will help you clean out your colon even if you have chronic constipation. Use it sparely and for a short time.

Back Pain & Muscle Pain - Effective Nonprescription Pain Relief

Danna Schneider



Pain and Stress. They seem almost to go hand in hand - not only
in their negative connotation, but also in their biological
causes and triggers. Back pain and muscle pain is typically
caused by inflammation in the proximity where the pain
originated, which in turn creates internal pressure, activating
pain receptors in the nerve endings and sending the signal
(registered as varying levels of discomfort) to the brain.



Some people are born with a naturally higher tolerance to pain -
what's been dubbed the "pain threshold". Then there are the rest
of us, who have normal or low pain thresholds and if chronic
back pain, muscle pain, or nerve related pain or illness were to
be introduced into our lives, we would be forced to be a
prisoner to "the bottle". The "bottle" being one of the many
prescription painkillers or narcotics prescribed to so many
suffering daily, chronic muscle pain and nerve related pain.



So there must be a better way to control the pain, and manage it
successfully without constant reliance on and possible addiction
to prescription pain medication? And there is. Along with an
excellent new naturopathic, herbal pain remedy recently
introduced to consumers, there are several things you can do to
manage pain effectively, and in turn even reduce stress and
improve your overall mental and physical health - all of which
are key factors in successful pain management.



On of the best ways to manage stress and in turn reduce pain, is
to employ some sort of low impact, muscle soothing exercise,
like basic yoga, tai chi, or water aerobics. These types of
exercises not only stretch the muscles and keep them limber and
lithe, but they effectively "massage" and calm muscles, have
very little impact on joints, strength the supportive muscles of
the back, and can even help reduce inflammation in the body. The
mind-body connection is very strong, there is no doubt - just
start an exercise routine like this and I guarantee your mood,
pain and anxiety virtually melt away.



Exercise also releases and creates endorphins, which are a
natural "antidote" to pain, stress, anxiety, fatigue and
depression. The release of endorphins can actually reverse the
negative effects these afflictions can have on your body. If
you're a habitual exerciser, think of how you lethargic you feel
after a few days of inactivity, and you'll understand this
concept! Inactivity is one of the biggest underlying causes and
perpetuators of worsening pain, lethargy, depression and
anxiety.



Meditation is also a great method to reduce pain, anxiety and
the host of other undesirable problems so prevalent in America
today. Like yoga, and other relaxation techniques, meditation
allows you to focus only on you, your breathing, and your body.
This faciliatates the "harmonizing" of the body and the mind,
the ultimate feeling of well-being, vitality, and tranquility,
all of which will help you manage pain and stress. This will
keep your mind sharp, focused, and better able to deal with the
daily stress life can sometimes bring.



Combine these few simple lifestyle habits with the use of an
herbal pain remedy where needed, or even just employ these
habits alone, and I guarantee, pain will not only be easier to
cope with when it rears it's ugly head, but also will be reduced
greatly in it's severity and frequency. It quite simply is a
necessity to living pain free.

How To Solve Male Impotence Naturally

Darwin Corby



Male impotence affects a small portion of the population, about 10% or so. But until just recently those figures were largely kept quiet due to embarrassment or reluctance to admit a problem exists. It's a guy thing of course.

There is a natural solution to male impotence and we will look at that in a moment. Even so, why is impotence treatment information kept under wraps? This might help answer that question.

Prescription medications are big business and many Doctors are given incentives to promote the latest prescriptions for impotence treatment. Remember when Viagra was hot? Doctors offices were stocked with those four pill sample packs, and they were giving them out like candy. Of course all the latest jokes then were about dirty old men and disgruntled wives. The push for Viagra, Levitra, Cialis and the generic versions of those drugs was on.

So why has a a natural solution to male impotence never become popular before this?

1) No Profit
2) No Profitability
3) No Profits

Basically, all alternative health solutions face the same problem. No interest from big business and minimal support from Doctors trained in the Western Doctrine.

Fact:

A majority of male impotence problems are easily solved with a simple exercise. This impotence remedy can be performed almost anywhere and any time of day.

On a Personal Level:

One incident of male impotence can create concern. Repeat incidents wear down your confidence, create performance anxiety, depression, etc which can cause a viscous cycle. Few men seek out alternatives to male impotence prescriptions, but because you're reading this article you're in the group who would rather avoid possible side effects, dependency, and the prohibitive costs of prescriptions!

A Word of Caution:

If your problem stems from an addiction you'll need to make some difficult decisions and lifestyle changes if sex is important to you. But typically all that's needed is a little effort on your part and a proven program to follow.

Male impotence generally stems from misunderstanding the facts. If you don't have any serious physical trauma like diabetic nerve damage or severed muscle, there is a good chance you can correct the problem quite quickly.

Two Alternatives:

1) Do some research yourself on the PC muscle to understand what it controls and how to strengthen it.

2) Go directly to a proven natural method. Firm Endeavor is a six week course that has quietly helped hundreds of other men looking for a natural impotence remedy.

How To Prevent And Treat Sinus Infections Using Home Remedies

T. McDonald



Sinus infections can be very persistent and debilitating. This article covers some very successful home remedies for the prevention and treatment of sinusitis that I have collected and developed over the years. I use all of these methods regularly and no longer have any problems with my sinuses (or colds and flu either!).



Let's start with prevention. One of the very best ways to prevent and treat sinus infections is to keep your sinus areas (forehead and cheek areas) warm and the mucus membranes moist. It's especially important to keep your forehead and cheeks warm when you sleep. Keeping a towel, hat or warm scarf over these areas as you sleep can really help. This also is a great treatment if you already have a sinus infection.



In addition, using a humidifier in the room where you sleep is an excellent way to prevent and treat a sinus infection. These two suggestions alone can help to prevent your problem, but if not, there are lots of supplements and foods that you can take to keep your immune system in tip top condition to treat and prevent sinus problems.



Using a natural nasal spray made with salt and baking soda has helped me a lot. The recipe for this home remedy is ½ cup water, ¼ teaspoon salt and a pinch of baking soda. Make sure that you use really clean bottled water or filtered water, otherwise you could make things worse. Shake the mixture well and put into a clean nasal spray bottle. This is also an excellent home remedy for allergies. You can use this nasal spray several times a day; it is surprisingly effective as well as cheap!



Vitamins and Foods for Treating and Preventing Sinus Infections



Vitamins, minerals and food supplements make great home remedies for sinus infections and of course they will also help to prevent them. I'm sure you're aware that vitamin C is good, but getting some vitamin C from fresh foods is even more important. A recent study discovered that natural vitamin C from food had a stronger effect on keeping the immune system healthy than synthetic C (almost all the C you buy as a supplement at the store is synthesized).



A few high C home remedy foods to prevent and treat sinus infections are citrus (oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, lemons), kiwi, cabbage, broccoli, strawberries, raspberries and black berries. Vitamin C is a good natural decongestant and will help to dry up inflamed nasal passages due to colds and sinus infections. I eat a whole peeled orange (the white part and pulp are very good for you, better than orange juice) every day during the winter to prevent colds and sinus infections.



Does your vitamin C supplement contain bioflavonoids? This is another important supplement for keeping mucus membranes healthy and restoring your immune system. You can find supplements at your health food store or get them naturally in the white part of citrus fruit as well as in the pulp.



Another very important supplement is vitamin A (not beta carotene). It helps to keep your skin and mucus membranes healthy. Don't take more than 5,000 IU every other day as large doses of A can cause problems. Be sure to purchase a supplement that is derived from a natural source (usually fish oil, synthetic vitamin A is not recommended). Natural vitamin A is found in eggs, dairy products, liver and some fish.



Do you take a naturally derived mixed carotene supplement every day? No longer is beta-carotene enough. Several other carotenoids (lutein, alpha carotene, lycopene) are as important or more so than beta. You especially want to be sure that you get the natural versions of these supplements, not the synthetic. Recent research shows that synthetic carotenes may not help much at all and may even be bad for you. Just make sure that the label mentions natural sources for the supplement (such as palm fruit). Carrots, yams and colored fruits and vegetables such as all berries, broccoli, spinach, chard, romaine lettuce, winter squash and tomatoes are carotene rich.



Minerals and Other Supplements for Treating and Preventing Sinus Infections



Several minerals are important in keeping your immune system in top shape as well. Zinc is the most important of these home remedies. Many people take zinc lozenges when they get a sinus infection, but if you take zinc in advance, you can completely avoid the unpleasantness of being sick. Yet another important mineral is selenium. Be careful not to take excessive amounts of these minerals because they can be toxic in larger doses.



Another little known but very valuable home remedy supplement is NAC or n-acetyl cysteine, which is a powerful antioxidant that is a form of the amino acid cysteine. It helps to increase your body's supply of the very important enzyme, glutathione contributing significantly to your immune system as it reduces congestion.



A few other immune system home remedies to consider are raw garlic, flaxseed and flaxseed oil, echinacea, grapeseed extract and chlorella/spirulina. Don't forget about fresh raw fruits and vegetables. It may sound boring because everyone is telling you to eat your fruits and veggies but the truth is... raw foods are very healthful. They contain all the natural enzymes and nutrients that are cooked out of almost all prepared foods.



People who eat mostly raw food tend to stay healthier than people who eat a lot of prepared and cooked foods. For the best home remedy for a sinus infection, you could go to your local grocery store and look at all the tempting raw foods you'll find there. Then take some home, make a big salad with fruits or vegetables, and enjoy!



In the winter, you can buy many types of frozen fruits to use in smoothies or to eat with yogurt. Frozen fruit still has lots of great nutrients to keep you healthy. Before adding any supplements or changing your diet, consult your health professional.
