Can “Honey” Really Do That?

This article has been kindly contributed by Linda DiMarco

The word “honey” comes from the ancient Hebrew meaning “enchant”. Though honey is thought of mainly as a sweetener that would be selling those “Busy Little Bee’s” short for all their work. So, here’s a little buzz on that familiar sweet and sticky household item.

Below are some common problems which can easily be prevented from the use of honey:

Hay Fever Help

Honey contains grains of pollen and as an immune system booster, it is quite powerful. It also, may create a desensitizing effect for those that are burden with allergies. So, if you happen to be bugged by hay fever, be sure to eat honey that is harvested locally. When I’m asked how local should the honey be for allergy prevention I always advise to get honey that was raised closest to where you live, the closer the better, since it will have more of exactly what you’ll need.

Additionally, honey helps to restore our energy and helps dissolve that irritating mucus. Honeybees will collect pollen from local species, such as in California where we have Bottlebrush trees, and it will be present in small amounts in honey that was gathered by bees that were working areas where these species are growing. When people living in these same areas eat honey that was produced in that environment, the honey will often act as an immune booster. The good effects of this local honey are best when the honey is taken a little bit (a couple of teaspoons-full) a day for several months prior to the pollen season.

First Aid Friend

Applied directly to the skin for minor cuts and scrapes, not to mention applying it to chapped lips. Honey can disinfect the wounds and reduce the swelling of the area too.

Kick Back and Relax

Feeling uptight from a long hard day? Put 2 oz. of honey in a glass with 5 to 10 drops of lavender oil. Place the glass in warm water. To thin out the mixture add 2 tablespoons of the aromatic honey-lavender mix to your bathwater to help you relax and to help with insomnia. Are you having a little afternoon fatigue at 3pm, drink 1/2 Tablespoon of honey in a glass of water and sprinkle with cinnamon powder. Energy will increase within one week if taken daily. Add a little honey to your sleepy time tea to create an overall calming effect.

Can’t Sleep

Also can help you sleep at night. For insomnia, take 1 Tablespoon of honey at dinner. If that doesn’t work, try mixing 3 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar to 1 cup of honey in a jar. Take 2 teaspoons before bed. If you don’t fall asleep within the hour, take 2 teaspoons more. An old ayuverdic remedy has men taking the same dosage (2 Tablespoons of honey) before bed to treat impotence. Honey for pain relief, Mix 3 Tbls. of honey in boiled water and drink. Honey has natural pain-relieving powers.

Cholesterol is said to be treatable with honey

Mix two tablespoons of honey and three tablespoons of cinnamon in 16 ounces of tea. This mixture is said to reduce the level of cholesterol by ten percent within a short amount of time. As with arthritis, it is said that pure honey taken with food daily will reduce cholesterol levels. Along the same lines, using cinnamon and honey on bread and eaten at breakfast revitalized the arteries and veins leading to the heart and helpful towards preventing heart attacks.

Arthritis is one disease that may be cured with honey

One part honey to two parts of lukewarm water and a teaspoon of cinnamon will make a paste that will noticeably reduce pain in a matter of a couple of minutes. Patients suffering from arthritis can take one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and a teaspoon of cinnamon once in the morning and again in the evening. It’s been said that taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. Copenhagen University tested their theory by giving patients a mixture of one tablespoon of hone and one half teaspoon of cinnamon before breakfast.

Cholesterol is said to be treatable with honey.

Mix two tablespoons of honey and three tablespoons of cinnamon in 16 ounces of tea. This mixture is said to reduce the level of cholesterol by ten percent within a short amount of time. As with arthritis, it is said that pure honey taken with food daily will reduce cholesterol levels. Along the same lines, using cinnamon and honey on bread and eaten at breakfast revitalized the arteries and veins leading to the heart and helpful towards preventing heart attacks.

Finally, bad breath is said to be helpful if gargled in the morning. One teaspoon of honey and cinnamon mixed in hot water is supposed to keep breath fresh all day.

Top 3 Oils for Reducing Stretch Marks

New discoveries help stretch marks disappear - click HERE

Is your skin sporting stretch marks? Let’s find out how you can reduce those reddish or glossy streaks of silvery white on your abs, hips, thighs, buttocks, upper arms or lower back. This scarring causes low self-esteem in some. Don’t feel bad, it happens to over 50% of the population including teens and men, not just us women. Even models have stretch marks but with photo retouching and makeup you’d never know it.

Dry skin is more prone to stretch marks so it makes sense to moisturize your skin with nutrient-rich oils to improve this condition and keep it from getting worse. Unfortunately, oily skin is not completely immune to stretch mark real estate. Learn how to look better with the following 3 oils.

The most important vitamin for your skin’s health is E. Apply vitamin E oil daily or break open a capsule and apply its contents after your shower.

To go a step further, you can make your own stretch mark oil without paying a fortune and still get the same results. Mix and blend together 1/2 cup virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup non-commercial aloe vera, and the contents of 6 capsules of vitamin E and 4 capsules of vitamin A. Refrigerate and store in a covered jar. Apply it daily to minimize the appearance of the unpopular stretch marks.

Another, and possibly better oil, is pure emu oil. It easily penetrates all the layers of the skin. (Stretch marks develop in the middle layer called the dermis.) Emu oil fades and removes scars and stretch marks. It is so effective it can be used on old scars.

Wheat germ oil stimulates tissue regeneration and has wonderful antioxidant properties. It must be diluted with a carrier oil such as olive or sweet almond because of its high strength. It has a strong odor and is a bit sticky. Because it is rich in minerals, vitamins (especially vitamin E), and proteins, wheat germ oil is good for reducing wrinkles, eczema, psoriasis, and of course, scars and stretch marks.

Don’t blame yourself if you have stretch marks, blame genetics. Just do your part and apply either vitamin E oil, emu oil, or wheat germ oil for excellent stretch mark reducing effects. The best part is that they are 100% natural.

72 ‘Unconventional’ Ways To Cure Your Acne

May 24, 2008

Some of the techniques in this rather long article are based on scientific research, some of the techniques are based on individual experiences and some are just ideas. Some of the treatments should be used in isolation, some of the treatments can be used together with other treatments.  The techniques are outlined in no particular order.

Let’s get going…

1) Regularly consume apricot juice. It is a wonderful natural healer and has worked for many people.

2) Vitamin and nutritional supplements have been proven to work to eliminate acne. Vitamins A, C and E, plus Iron have been shown to work well to cure acne.

3) The optimal diet for preventing or improving acne breakouts is the Divide Your Plate In Four. Eat 1/4 protein, 1/4 whole grain complex carbohydrates, and 1/4 each of fruits and vegetables. I’ve written about this in more detail here

4) Avoid consuming too many oily, greasy and spicy foods.

5) Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Goes without saying, doesn’t it?

6) Include Aloe Vera juice in your diet.

7) Include high quantities of fibre in your diet to eliminate acne. Fibre helps to stimulate our waste disposal system and eliminate toxins which are a major cause of acne.

8) Caffeine, for some people, causes nasty acne breakouts. If you consume a lot of caffeine, try and cut it out.

9) If you consume a lot of milk or dairy products, then significantly cut down, or even completely eradicate them from your diet all together.

10) Seafood contains a high iodine content which has been shown to increase the chances of acne breakouts. Cut down your consumption of seafood.

11) Foods high in zinc have been shown to reduce the appearance of acne. Nuts, wholegrains and figs contain high quantities of zinc.

12) What acne elimination list would be complete without the age-old saying: “Eight glasses of water a day can keep acne away”.

13) Some people have experienced success by drinking Himilayan Goji Juice.

14) Almonds have been shown to reduce acne flare ups. Almonds contain an abundant supply of vitamin E and zinc which is an important mineral for reducing acne.

15) Oatmeal is another fantastic food for acne elimination. It contains zinc, vitamins A and E and a whole load of selenium. Consume oatmeal to get all the nutrients you need. Oatmeal is an ideal breakfast to get you going in the morning.

16) Broccoli is another fantastic acne buster. It contains vitamins A and E. For optimal effects, consume raw and fresh. Most leafy vegetables are good for skin.

17) The tropical fruit mango again contains healthy supplies of vitamins A and E. Consume blended as a smoothie or chopped up as a healthy snack.

18) Pumpkin seeds are loaded with zinc which is an excellent acne eliminator.

19) Whole grain bread contains vast quantities of fibre, which is essential for healthly living. It also contains high quantities of zinc and selenium which treat acne specifically.

20) Fish contains selenium and vitamin A as well as omega 3 fatty acids which is a highly important nutrient for skin.

21) Turkey is a fantastic low fat meat that is great for the skin.

22) Spinach is one of the dark, leafy greens (like broccoli) that contains a good dose of vitamins A and E, and also large quantities of zinc. Spinach can be served cooked or raw and has an endless amount of benefits for the skin, especially in eliminating acne.

23) Melon is another tropical fruit like mango that contains a large amount of vitamin A and can help to reduce or prevent flare ups of acne.

24) Red Raspberry, Black Cohosh, Marshmallow and Kelp can help to balance hormones and prevent acne breakouts, especially in women.

25) The herb Ginger helps to cleanse the kidneys and bowels, removes excess toxins from the body, and stimulates the circulatory system. This helps to reduce acne.

26) The herb Lobelia helps encourage the flow of oxygenized blood, which in turn helps remove obstructions, congestion and toxins. This again has a positive effect on acne.

27) Neem is one herbal remedy that is important for the maintenance of healthy skin and to decrease the appearance of wrinkles.

28) Burdock root helps balance hormones by cleansing the liver. It works well because it treats all the root problems of acne and eczema. It treats hormonal imbalance, poor digestion, inefficient liver function, overgrowth of candida or yeast, skin and intestinal bacteria, and overall toxicity. It even helps cleanse the blood and lymphatic system. (Extract from TransformYourBeauty.com)

29) Haemefine syrup is another herbal remedy that heals the skin by purifying the blood. It acts as a cure for eczema, pimples and acne. It also improves skin complexion and gives skin a natural glow.

30) Shudda Guggul capsules are another herb that is capable of purifying and rejuvenating the skin, and eliminating acne.

31) Kelp is an excellent herb to take for a variety of problems, especially acne, because it’s a potent source of many vitamins and minerals. It can help to restore the balance of vitamins and minerals in your body, which in turn will help clear up acne and other related health problems.

32) Drink herbal water. It is made by boiling hair of 1 corn, with 1 to 2 fenugreek seeds in a glass of water.

33) The first rule of acne elimination is to not pick, press, rub, squeeze or manipulate your pimples in any way. Doing so will simply aggravate them, increase the chances of spreading, and increasing the chances of scarring.

34) Washing the face helps, but don’t over cleanse. Over cleansing may lead to you irritating the sensitive skin.

35) Maintain a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of vitamins, minerals and fibre. Make sure you include plenty of zinc in your diet as this is a fantastic acne eliminator.

36) Use a mild soap and rub lightly with your fingertips and warm water at least twice a day.

37) Use a water based make-up.

38) Having a facial is not recommended. If you have acne, stay clear from facials.

39) Exposure to light also has proven to help in the fight against acne. Getting out in the sun is one of the best natural ways to cure acne.

40) Exercise regularly. Exercise helps in improving blood circulation and helps to eliminate toxins.

41) Keep your stress levels as low as possible. Stress worsens acne flare-ups and your overall skin condition. There many natural methods to reduce stress, such as regular exercise, relaxation techniques and herbal remedies.

42) Going on any cleansing or detoxifying diet will help clear up acne, but remember it can sometimes get worse before it gets better, because your body starts pushing toxins out faster once you start a cleanse.

43) Change your pillow sheets as often as possible. The bacteria gets on the pillow sheet and spreads when in cntact with your face, causing more acne breakouts.

44) Adequate sleep is an essential requirement for health, and especially for healthy skin. Get your full quota of rest each night to reduce acne breakouts.

45) Try to use an over the counter product at least once or twice a day. The product ideally should contain benzoyl peroxide. It helps to unclog the pore and forms an acne blemish. If you can’t get a product that contains benzoyl peroxide, then try a product with sulfur or resorcinol which unplug oil glands by irritating the skin.

46) Stay clear of iodine which can be found in many vitamins and iodized salt.

47) Antibiotics have been useful for some people when curing acne. Unfortunately, your body eventually becomes immune and the antibiotics become useless. Antibiotics also have some mild side effects. Doctors often prescribe antibiotics for acne patients.

48) For some people, acne is closely related to increased hormone levels. Some women suffer from acne at the same time each month during their menstrual cycle. Doctors sometimes prescribe birth control pills to balance the hormone levels and help to prevent the nasty breakouts of acne.

49) Honey has been used as a natural treatment for acne for many years. It has a natural antimicrobial action to help eliminate acne. Apply the honey on the skin as a mask for 10 minutes everyday.

50) One recent natural acne elimination method has been to apply toothpaste to the affected area. It works for some, it doesn’t work for many, but you could give it a go.

51) Regularly apply an ice pack to the affected area. It helps to reduce the swelling and redness and shrink the inflammation.

52) Press and hold a wet tea bag or a cotton bud with a dab of lemon juice on the affected area to reduce redness and swelling.

53) Slice a raw potatoe and rub it on the affected area. The vitamins reduce the redness and breaks down the bacteria causing the acne.

54) Apply cotton balls soaked in vinegar to the skin and then apply strawberry leaves to the pimples.

55) Apply a combination of egg white and lemon juice to the affected area and leave it on overnight.

56) Slit the pimple open and apply cotton balls soaked in salt water.

57) Apply mashed bananas blended with one tablespoon of honey and two tablespoons of sour cream.

58) Cornmeal and oatmeal pastes in water have also shown to improve the appearance of acne.

59) Apply natural oils such as lavender oil, coconut oil, tea tree oil and jojoba oil to reduce acne.

60) Almond oil is a home acne remedy that has worked for many. Grind an almond with water and apply over the face daily.

61) Apply Bengal Gram Powder mixed with curds to the face. Green Gram powder mixed in water is an excellent face wash in place of soap.

62) A good herbal face wash option is Chickweed tea. Dissolve chickweed capsules in warm water, bathe the face with it and rinse. Chickweed is also an excellent solution to use as a bath soak for other sores, rashes, boils and burns.

63) A paste of fresh Fenugreek leaves applied over the face every night and washed with warm water can rpevent blackheads, whiteheads, dryness, wrinkles and most importantly, pimples.

64) Try applying yeast and tee tree oil to the affected area. The yeast causes the dirt to rise to the surface of the skin and the tee tree oil acts as a natural antiseptic. It’s a good temporary solution to reducing the appearance of pimples.

65) To ease the removal of blackheads from your face, massage a small amount of jojoba oil into your skin before treating yourself to a facial sauna. The jojoba oil helps to soften the debris and hardened sebum, or oil, that clog up the pores. (Extract from TransformYourBeauty.com)

66) Bentonite clay works wonders for drawing impurities out of your clogged pores. It nourishes the skin with calcium and other minerals while it cleanses. It is inexpensive and you can use it as a whole body spa treatment in the comfort of your bathtub. (Extract from TransformYourBeauty.com)

67) Squeeze half a lemon into a glass of warm water and use to cleanse your face.

68) Apply crushed marigold leaves onto the acne affected area.

69) Boil a few plumbs, mash them to get 8 teaspoons of pulp, add a teaspoon of almond oil and apply on the face.

70) Make a paste of turmeric powder and apply evenly on the acne affected area.

71) Mix together neem leaves paste, a half teaspoon of turmeric powder, sandalwood paste and gram flour. Apply on the affected area and let it dry before rinsing off.

72) Grab a copy of Chris Gibson’s Acne Free in 3 Days guide. It’s worked for many, it might just work for you!

Phew, that’s a lot of methods of acne elimination. I’m not suggessting you try them all at once, but give some of them a go and see if they work for you!

How I Cured My Acne In 7 Days With Just One TINY Lifestyle Change

May 22, 2008

This article has been contributed by RevitaliseYourHealth.com reader Rachel Stead who reveals how she cured her acne in just 7 days with just ONE change to her diet.

————

I was 26 years old. I’d suffered from moderate to severe acne on my face, upper back and neck for just over four years.

I’d tried everything. I’d been to a doctor, I’d been to a dermatologist. I’d used natural methods, I’d used prescription drugs, but nothing worked.

I even bought an eBook online about how to cure acne. I’d spoken to four friends who had also bought it and it had worked for three of them. The book was called Acne Free In 3 Days. I followed the methods and noticed slight changes, but nothing major. I’m not saying the book won’t work for you, but it didn’t work for me.

I had almost given up hope. I was resigned to living the rest of my life with these unsighlty red spots.

Then one day…

I was watching a TV programme called Embarrassing Bodies. A doctor had gone into a school with 13-14 year olds to talk about acne. He was revealing some of the myths associated with why people get acne. I don’t remember exactly what they were now.

But, what I do remember is how strongly he emphasised how bad milk was for acne. I don’t know the biology of it, but apparently if you have acne, then milk is a big no no.

I’d never heard this, but decided to give it a go.

You see, I used to drink a LOT of milk. I’d have it on my cereal, I’d have milkshakes and often I’d just drink pint after pint of milk.

But I gave it all up.

I started on the morning of April 22nd and had noticed improvements within just 2 days. By April 29th my acne had virtually disappeared from my face, my neck and my upper back.

The relief was immense. No longer would I have to cover up my face. No longer would I feel embarrassed by my appearance.

I was cured.

Simply by eliminating milk from my diet I had eliminated my acne, sky-rocketed my confidence and greatly enhanced my life.

Give it a go for yourself.

Just a quick note. I’m not saying this method will definitely work for you. After all everybody is different. Everybody will have different cures that will work for them. But this is what did it for me, will it work for you?

Let me know if it does… or doesn’t by leaving a comment below.

If it doesn’t work for you, then try the Acne Free in 3 Days guide. It’s worked for lots of people. It may just work for you.


Secret Fat Burners For Natural Weight Loss

May 18, 2008

This article has been kindly contributed by Christina Laslow and discusses the new scientific research that could be a major breakthrough for all who want to lose weight.

Before you begin however, take a look at the top secret fat loss secret from Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst HERE

——————-

In the world of fat loss words like “secrets” are thrown around like promises during an election. That’s why I hate even seeing the word used at all.

It has come to the point where I practically dismiss the word completely. Strike that, actually I become suspicious. So the question is, are there any true “secrets” left in the battle to shed the fat.

Well, yes and no.

If you define a secret as a body of knowledge held by a tight knit organization bent on keeping their fat-loss secrets to themselves, then the answer is no. However, if you define secret as a bit of knowledge that few know about, then yes there does seem to be such a thing.

The Undergrounders

For a few years underground experimentation among fitness enthusiasts and body builder types have been working toward a strategy of manipulating the types of foods eaten in an attempt to make the human body’s hormones work at peak efficiency for fat loss.

These under-grounders would share results from peer to peer and slowly a snowball of valuable knowledge began to form. Soon enough doctors and scientists began to take a keen interest to the subject and started doing what they do best. With a scientific eye they began looking at manipulating foods for to bring about fat loss in much the same way as drug companies use chemicals to elicit fat loss. After all foods are chemicals too.

Well over a decade has passed since this all began and some solid science and quite a few studies have proven what these under-grounders had learned years before. That is, that there is a safe and effective way to manipulate eating to cause rapid and efficient fat loss.

Playing With The Macronutrients

The dietary term that was given to this process is called calorie shifting which is where macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats) are shifted in an organized manner to cause the body’s hormones to jump into play and start emptying out fat stores. Readers of the Zone diet will recall the discussion of a little hormones called Eiconsanoids that basically force the fat cells to give up their stores.

In the day, Zone diet practitioners enjoyed some astounding results, especially when compared with the standard low-fat diets of the time. However they discovered what most dieters over the years have found out - that these types of ’static’ diets have a diminishing returns. In other words diets where components of the diet never really change allow the body to start compensating, or get used to, the foods involved and slowly fat loss drops to a crawl - often called a plateau.

Keep It Guessing

This is where the “secret’ of caloric shifting really shines. By constantly changing what you eat on regular intervals, your body is never able to make this adaptation. Instead you have forced your body to remain in a constant state of reaction.

This keeps those fat loss hormones flowing and the fat falling off.

Calorie shifting has really brought natural fat loss into the territory that was once only occupied by heavy doses of stimulants and dangerous fat-partitioning drugs. And practitioners of such diets have claimed astounding results without of the side effects of normal dieting such as hunger pangs or irritability. Plus the added benefit of doing it naturally without the effects or dangers of drugs.

To Fight Aging - Detoxify

FINALLY REVEALED: A STEP BY STEP DETOX DIET PLAN THAT HELPS YOU ELIMINATE TOXINS, IMPROVES YOUR BOWEL HEALTH AND AND GIVES YOU MORE ENERGY IN FEWER THAN 14 DAYS!

Click Here To Find Out More

Getting your hair colored or going through a more drastic cosmetic change such as a face lift will make you look younger. But, if your body has toxins you will still be aging at a faster rate than normal. To really revitalise we must clean ourselves up from the inside - detoxify.

In the modern, polluted world, internal cleansing is very important. No matter how hard we try to be healthy, we still breathe in polluted air, bathe in polluted water, and intake all types of chemicals. Once these chemicals and substances are absorbed into the body, we never fully eliminate them unless we detoxify.

A highly effective detox method which helps the entire body cleanse at the same time is juice fasting. Let’s learn how.

If you take the time to go on a juice fast you will be allowing the digestive system to rest so it can focus its attention on rejuvenating the areas that need healing. Once you’re done with juicing, your digestion will work better and your skin will take on a healthy glow.

You can benefit from a one to two day fast of freshly squeezed juice, herbal tea, protein drinks, and pure distilled water. Before starting on any diet program please consult your doctor to be sure it is safe for you to juice, especially if you have any health conditions.

Use organic fruits and vegetables because harmful pesticides and other chemicals will only become more concentrated after juicing. Drink up to eight 8-ounce glasses of juice each day and you’ll be revitalising your body with an absorbable supply of health-promoting enzymes, phytochemicals, antioxidant vitamins and minerals, and chlorophyll.

Use watery juices like cabbage, aloe vera, celery, or cucumber to dilute concentrated juices such as parsley, watercress, arugula, and spinach. Dark green vegetable juices need to be diluted to ensure digestibility. To get the most psychological and physical benefit from juices, drink them slowly as if eating food instead of a liquid. Swallowing too fast stresses the kidneys and bladder and doesn’t give you the healthy taste satisfaction. And, reintroduce food slowly after a fast by choosing light foods.

Now that you’ve learned the guidelines, it’s time for the fun to begin with an all-juice diet. Alternate between the combinations of apple with carrot, sprouts with pineapple, and tomato with lemon plus a dash of cayenne. Your body will be getting nutrients that will help it function at its best and help you look younger and revitalised.

Some fruits and vegetables that are perfect for juicing include:

Apple…Apple helps fix liver and skin disorders. It has a laxative effect and is perfect for improving digestion and for weight loss.

Cabbage…Cabbage alleviates stomach ailments by rebuilding the digestive tract lining. Many have claimed curing ulcers by drinking a quart of cabbage juice daily for a week. Cabbage is also cancer-fighting.

Melon…Melon juice is best when used alone. This juice cleanses the kidneys. The rind contains chlorophyll, minerals, and enzymes. Perfect for a daily “beauty” drink.

Beet…Beet juice nourishes the liver. When you take care of your liver you are taking care of hormonal balancing, fat metabolism, and improved digestion. This leads to an overall improvement in beauty…the kind that makes people wonder what you did different that is making you look better.

Celery…Celery juice rejuvenates the liver. It’ll help you catch up with all your lost sleep and get rid of junk food effects quickly as it promotes good cell chemistry.

Pineapple…Pineapple juice provides an anti-inflammatory effect which helps relieve bloating. It is also good for alleviating arthritis.

Author of Ten Easy Steps for Complete Wellness, Susan Lombardi, recommends a combination of cabbage, carrot, celery, and beet juice mixed in equal parts, with a dash of cayenne for flavor and circulation. She states that this recipe is taken throughout the day while fasting to promote healing in every corner of the body.

A Natural Body Detox For A Healthier, Happier You

May 4, 2008

Discover How You Can Start The Master Cleanse - Avoid The Side Effects - And In 10 Days Be Lighter, Healthier, Younger Looking, and More Energetic - Click Here

Almost every modern day disease, condition, health problem or symptom is created by environmental toxins and lifestyle choices. And by simply detoxifying your body completely, most of these problems can be cured, reversed, or reduced dramatically.

Our lives are filled with chemicals, poisons and toxins. Everywhere we go we’re putting them into our body from the air we breath, the additives placed in our drinking water, the chemicals used in food processing, and even chemicals and medications which are used on plants and animals that we eventually eat. All of this stuff adds up to major problems for the human body.

Many diseases, syndromes and chronic health problems are linked either directly or indirectly to toxins and poisons. And this has been proven in both scientific studies, as well as herbal and alternative remedy results.

Imagine using your stove to cook dinner every night for forty years, without ever cleaning up after yourself. You never wash up spills, never disinfect, nothing. Can you imagine the work it would take after thirty or forty years to actually get that stove clean again? Yet this is what we do to our bodies. We stuff them full of junk food, chemicals, preservatives, empty calories and more… without ever cleaning them. This causes a major build up of general bad stuff inside the body.

And that’s why body detox techniques are one of the first suggestions made by herbal and alternative remedy specialists when health problems arise. By detoxifying your body, you’re started the massive clean up that’s needed so that it can become healthy again.

When your body is clogged with toxins and poisons, it cannot operate at it’s fully functional, fully healthy level. In fact, it often starts rebelling in a variety of creative ways. Take a skin disease known as Psoriasis for example. Psoriasis is caused by your body’s immune system over reacting to some stimulus, and it’s pushing new skin cells to the surface at a much faster rate than normal. This creates a pile up on the surface of the skin, which results in thick, scaly, flaky sore like spots in various places of the body, such as the elbows, knees and scalp.

Doctors and researchers feel there is no cure for psoriasis though, so they simply try to treat the skin build up and various symptoms that creates. They sometimes even try to supress the bodies immune system with drugs in order to prevent the skin surface build up. From an herbal and natural point of view though, this is just going to create more health problems in the end.

The problem is that your body’s natural waste disposal system is clogged up in some way. And because it’s clogged and stagnated, the toxins which are supposed to be removed from your body through solid waste are sitting there leaking back in and poisoning your body. This creates a variety of diseases and health problems because your body becomes desparate to clean out the toxins and waste that’s polluting it. So if it cannot get rid of things the normal way - through elimination via the colon - one of the next things it trys to do is get rid of the toxins through your skin.

By fully detoxifying your body though, you can start removing that toxic build up that’s causing the problems, and allow your body to start healing itself naturally.

Before you begin, discover how to stay FOREVER YOUNG

Why is it that many of the people of the Himilayan mountains often live past 100 years?

How can they look and feel healthy? How can they avoid aches, pains and illnesses?

What are their secrets? Wouldn’t you like to know?…

Here are 7 of the top Tibetan healing gifts from nature:

Sleep Like A Log With This Herb

An Asian herb known as ashwagandha has been used by the Tibetan popualtion for many years to help them sleep and treat insomnia. Adequate sleep is essential for staying young in the mind and the body. One study of ashwagandha proved that 100mg taken just before bedtime is highly effective for helping those who struggle sleeping. On top of this, ashwagandha is an adaptogen and is used for reducing the release of cortisol and managing stress.

Heal Your Heart With Pomegranates

Pomegrantates possess many health benefits, but most importantly for the health of our heart. Modern science shows that pomegranates - which grow wild in the Himilayas - contain natural substances that can boost your heart’s health. Pure pomegrante juice has been found to be over three times more beneficial for our health than green tea. Just 2 ounces daily will be sufficient for greatly improving your heart health.

Add 20 Years To Your Life With Goji Berries

Goji berries are one of the major factors that help the Tibetan population to live 20 years longer than the rest of most of us. This miracle berry is high in iron and vitamin C which helps the body to absorb iron. Goji berries also have the highest antioxidant content of any food on the planet, according to the ORAC scale. Drink pure goji juice or eat a few berries daily for optimal health.

Cure Anxiety And Welcome Peace With This Tree

The spicy, woodsy scent of the sandalwood tree has been used for centuries to reduce stress and eliminate anxiety and depression. Some even apply the essential oil to their third eye (middle of forehead) during deep meditation. Sandalwood oil or Sandalwood paste (made from mixing water with Sandalwood powder) has a calming, cooling effect on body and mind. The scent is said to calm the mind, soothe stress and uplift the mood.

Soothe Your Tummy With This Spice

If you have an upset stomach, would like to stop gas and bloating, or soothe your digestive tract then use the herb cardamom. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the ground spice in tea or coffee, and drink it 10 minutes before meals. You can find cardamom in most grocery stores.

Glow With Sea Buckthorn

Sea buckthorn is the latest anti aging winner when it comes to reversing the age of our skin. From Nepal, this shrub bears the berries that are proven to stimulate skin cell renewal and protect against the damaging UV rays of the sun. Sea buckthorn contains cell healing antioxidants and Omega-7, a renowned skin rejuvenator. To get glowing skin, use a moisturizer which contains sea buckthorn as a main ingredient. Pure sea buckthorn oil is also useful for preventing and reducing stretch marks.

Heal Your Skin With Neem

The people of the Himalayas bathe in warm water steeped with neem leaves to help heal rashes and wounds. Oil from the leaves of the neem tree has been used in Asia for over 2,000 years. Infuse your skin in neem by choosing health store bath products that contain it.

By using these wonderful healers, you can feel better today. Live longer and have a healthier tomorrow now that you know the great secrets of the Himalayas.
