NATURAL CURES-WRINKLES

As age old as the wrinkles themselves. Our face can tell the tale whether happy or sad about our life, it's literally written all over our face. Wrinkles, nobody likes them, well maybe some, but most don't. Women spend millions every year to find the best wrinkle defender cream out there. There's botox, collagen injections, face lifts and the list goes on and on.

I'm here to tell you that there are foods, everyday foods that can help combat wrinkles about as well as the most expensive creams on the market!

Believe me? I wouldn't, it sounds too simple, but actually it is just that simple. What do you think people did before all the chemicals and so called natural ingredients in these face creams.

Well here are some that are tried, tested and true!

First of all, you have to eat right......I know we've heard this a million times, but it's true you are what you eat, and your face shows it.

Skinless chicken, fish, beans and nuts..................Protein helps repair cells that have suffered free radical damage. When protein is digested, it breaks down into amino acids, the building block of cells. Having allot of amino acids in your body helps speed the repair and regeneration of the skin cells and collagen.

Olive Oil........................................Olive oil is full of oleic acid, which is one of the fatty acids that keep cell membranes fluid and makes skin supple. Olive oil also has small amounts of other essential fatty acids that fight inflammation. Also vitamin E and ply phenols, a class of antioxidants that protect the skin from damage.

Garlic...................Just plainly...........eat it! Its good for you all around and it helps the skin look young.

Salmon, mackerel, green tea, blueberries, black berries, raspberries, and strawberries are all jam packed with antioxidants and protect the skin from the damage that leads to wrinkles. Also Citrus fruits do the same.

Vegetables and beans.......................without repeating my self too much.....do wonders for the skin, when eaten.

Water.....................the most important..............drink plenty of water, it not only helps the body, but the skin as well. The fluid keeps the skin healthy.

Take vitamin E along with your multivitamin and again.......stay away from coffee and sugar..............they wreak havoc with your skin.

If you want the wrinkles gone, you have to fight for it, eat right, exercise daily and we will all look younger!

Natural Cures-Ginseng

Natural Cures----Ginseng

I'm sure by now all of you out there, or at least most of you have heard about Ginseng. Mostly marketed as a memory enhancer. It does other good things as well, but how do we use it?
Ginseng is one of the most famous of the Chinese herbal remedies, and has been claimed to be a cure-all. It has increased in popularity in the western cultures quite recently, but most people aren't using it correctly.
First off, Ginseng is helpful for combating exhaustion and difficulties in concentrating. Ginseng tonic, is sometimes taken to boost the immune function and the herb also helps to speed recovery after an illness, and help to lift mood and help fight mild depression.

How to use it:
It comes in many forms, the purest being the plant or root itself, but you can buy it in caplets and pill form over the counter at just about any pharmacy. I do recommend that you look for the purest version, try a health food store.
There are 2 main varieties of ginseng, whit and red. Only the root is used for healing purposes. White ginseng is simply the peeled , dried, bleached root. The more costly red ginseng is gotten by treating the freshly harvested roots with steam, then drying them slowly in the sun.

Now you can make Ginseng Tea, Tonic, in a bath, as a nutritional supplement.
For the Tea:
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 tsp. of grated ginseng. Steep for 10 min. then strain. The tea helps to sharpen concentration even in elderly people.

Tonic: Take 20-30 drops of ginseng tonic (sold in health-food stores) daily. It may prevent heart disease and can also raise low blood pressure.

Bath: Simply add grated ginseng root to your evening bath. Sit down deeply into the water and this will help you to relax after a long day, and sleep better than ever.

Nutritional Supplement: Save your money, use the root, grate it and add it to foods it's just as effective as taking a supplement. If you cannot find the root, buy the supplement and take it daily.

Ginseng is native to Korea and parts of China. It is only rarely found growing in the wild, but is widely cultivated in much of Asia.

Try Ginseng, it can do wonders for your brain and body!

Natural Cures: THERAPEUTIC TEAS

Teas are a great way to ease pain and heal the body. There are many teas out there, which are mostly herbal and caffeine free and each one can do wonders .
Today I will focus on Chamomile Teas. Chamomile Tea is a great way to ease body aches and pains. Chamomile dates right back to the Roman times, and the use of, to ease pain, they found it worked then, so why not now. Well I'll tell you why not now.
Most teas back then were either picked fresh and used quite quickly, some were transported, but still quite fresh. In other words, they were of their original strength and healing properties were in tact. While Chamomile Teas are still worth the try for aches and pains of the body, you would do better to find it a fresh as possible.
When you buy them in the packages in the stores, they have been refined almost to the point of uselessness. Look for a Natural store, Herbal remedy store or a grocery store that sells the leaves rather than the bags. As well the bags have usually been bleached and that is not good for you either. Even though, they still can be a relaxing drink.
Chamomile Tea still had great healing properties which range from aches and pains to gastrointestinal inflammation.
To use the tea properly drink 3 or 4 cups of freshly prepared tea daily for a period of several weeks. For the gastrointestinal inflammation and/or menstrual cramps a tincture is a better way to go because the natural healing properties in the tea are that much greater.

Please use with caution as with anything , herbal teas can react differently with everyone, for instance, if you have ragweed allergies, even some allergies to others of the daisy family, you should not use Chamomile as it may aggrivate the allergies. Also, please consult a doctor for anything before you start a herbal remedy.

For now, sit back , relax, have a Chamomile Tea and let the tea do its work!
