Memory Loss Natural Cures by Cher

MEMORY LOSS Natural Cures

We all have a moment when we forget something during the day.
Usually it's something simple, such as our keys. Day to day living can get to us at times, we put it off to stress, sometimes we decide that we are just plain loosing it! When in fact its our diet! You are what you eat is the saying and it is more true than we realize.
Over processed foods, fast foods, grab and go foods, we simply don't get the nutrients our body's need to combat daily living and be healthy at the same time. Now some tips for enhancing our memories, and please what ever you do don't use those energy drinks, they do more damage than good. Fruits , vegetables and nuts, spinach, blueberries, salmon, mackerel, and yes eggs! Garlic, cinnamon, apples, curry, tea, oatmeal, leafy greens, lentils, and fish.
These are all so called "brain foods". Each one has a specific thing within the food that helps our memories to work properly.
I will give examples instead of listing each one, because that would just overwhelm you and I.

Blueberries, for example, they contain photchemicals called anthocyanins, which is what gives them their blue hue. These act as a strong antioxidant and according to studies improve age-related deficits in neuronal signaling, in other words, it helps you to think clearer.
Fish, the best brain food out there.
Now I know there are worries about the mercury in some types of fish, but if you are careful to watch where the fish comes from, try to keep to Canadian, Alaskan, and U.S. caught fish, the others are the worry for mercury.
Fish have a tremendous amount of fats, healthy ones, that not only benefit your diet, but help your brain to work at its best. Always supplement your diet with a multivitamin/mineral, because the brain is so complex that proper care and feeding remain a bit mysterious, just for added insurance take your multi-vitamins! So have a Garlic, cinnamon, fish, blueberry shake and it'll all be good........just kidding, yuck!
Supplement your diet with the proper foods and watch your memory improve daily!

Liquorice Root @ Cher's Spot

Liquorice Root @ Cher's Spot

Liquorice Root
Liquorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra, is a purple and white flowering perennial, native of the Mediterranean region and central and southwest Asia. It is cultivated for the sweet taproot that grows to a depth of four feet (1.2 m).At all times, liquorice was used less as a spice than as a medicine.
Its use against the diseases of the upper respiratory tract dates back to ancient Egypt. The main part of the plant used in medicine is the root.
This root is a gentle relaxant, soothing to mucous irritations, and most like its sweet taste and it masks the sharpness / pungency / taste of other remedies. Ayurevda recommends the root as beneficial in the treatment of coughs, colds, and other bronchial irritations.
The root may be chewed as throat lozenges; or prepared as infusions by removing the outer bark and boiling for several minutes, to relieve hoarseness and coughs.
It is popular among singers as a lozenge. Liquorice is a good overall help/cure for the common cough/cold, give it a try its cheaper than a cold medicine and hasn't any side effects.

Natural Cures: MIGRAINES!!!

Suffering from migraines???????

There are an assortment of very effective herbs that can be used to help alleviate those stubborn and painful migraines.
One such is lavender, it works as a sedative, with an antispasmodic effect.
Drink a mix of lavender flower and vervain ( 30 g herb to 500 ml water) in half cup doses.
Dilute 10 drops of lavender oil into 25 ml carrier oil and massage into the temples at the first sign of the symptoms. Then drink the mix of the lavender flower and vervain after the massage.

This will take away that nasty migraine with no harm full or addictive medication. You always must use precautions when taking herbs and mixes.

Know your allergys because you could be allergic, and if pregnant, don't use in high doses.
Have a great migraine free day!

Natural Remedies by Cher- Relieve Stress and Calm Anxiety

RELIEVE STRESS AND CALM ANXIETY--(Herbal Remedies)
I don't think there is one adult, or maybe even student or child out there who hasn't suffered from stress or anxiety in one form or another. We all live fast paced lives and sometime the demands of being a mother/father, student or even a child feeling the stresses of life, can cause us problems. From neck pain to headaches to anxiety and panic attacks, lack of sleep etc...I probably could make a very long list, but that would just stress me out.... One of the best ways to reduce stress is with a proper breathing technique. Now I know most of you out there are saying, yeah, I've tried it , it doesn't work and I say you may be right, but I said the same thing until I did it right. It takes some self training and patience, but when done often it becomes second nature. The best breathing exercise is simply this , no matter where you are, you can do this. Breathe in for a count of 5, the breath should come deep from your abdominal area and fill your lungs in through your nose. Then hold for a count of five, 10 would be better, but make sure you don't pass out, then let it out slowly through your mouth. Repeat this as many times as you like, but don't hyperventalate (that is feel dizzy and can't catch your breath) Now when we are stressed we don't breathe right, our breaths become shorter and don't help us to relax. Also when the breaths are shorter your body isn't lacking oxygen at that time you are lacking carbon dioxide. So when you hold your breath, the more carbon dioxide your body is holding and this calms you down and relaxes you. You see, its not too hard and it can do wonders for your body and mind!

Every cell in the body relies on a sufficient supply of vitamins to do its job. Vitamins perform many functions. They promote, blood formation and healthy skin, hair and vision wellness, they help to maintain nerves and muscles and they aid in the release of energy from foods. Recent research suggests that some vitamins can even help prevent certain disorders, such as cancer, cataracts, arthritis and heart disease. While most of you vitamins should come from your foods a vitamin supplement is never a bad thing. They can aid you with what you aren't getting out of your everyday eating habits. Cigarettes, coffee, alcohol and birth control pills all rob the body of essential vitamins. The first signs of a Vitamin Deficiency are fatigue, irritability and anxiety. Over time the immune system will weaken.

What you can do: While there is no substitute for a healthy diet of fruits, vegetables, grain and legumes. You can supplement your diet with the proper intake of vitamins.

To make things simple a good multivitamin is usually a good way to go, however if you are deficient in certain areas your doctor can recommend other supplements to take on top of your multivitamins.

Vitamin A promotes Healthy skin;heart----you can get this by eating 1 med carrot per day
Vit D : Bone formation-3 1/2 ox avocado
Vit E : Cell protection-1 tbsp wheat germ oil
Vit K : Blood coagulation-1/2 cup parsley

Vit B6: Strengthens nerves-2 large bananas
Vit B12: for red blood cells-3 1/2 oz of salmon
Vit C : for immune system, wound healing, cell protection-2 cups fresh raspberries
Folic Acid: for cell formation, fights heart disease, birth defects-2 cups asparagus
Niacin: for energy metabolism-5 oz chicken breast
Pantothenic Acid: for the central nervous system-10 cups skim milk
Riboflavin-fights fatigue-3 cups nonfat yogurt

Natural Cures by Cher-Money and Stress


Moderate Stress by Cher
We all think that people with money are the only ones who can live a stress free life. We all wish we had more money to help make our stress go away. Well my friends, there are ways to help your stress levels without breaking your pocket book, or having to be wealthy.
I will agree with all of you out there, that money does help. Yes, but more money only brings on different stresses. Then you have to pay someone to help you reduce those stresses.
Getting to the point.....You can go see a masseuse...if you can't afford one, as I can't. Take a nice warm bath, or shower. Fill your bathroom with smells you enjoy, and or music you love. Take time for yourself, no matter how unimportant you may think it is. Everyone must take time for themselves as much as possible. Take quiet time, to read a book, to just sit and relax. I must say though, watching a movie or T.V. doesn't count, because you are focused on something else, and those things you need to work out, are still at the back of your mind. Try to make sure that the time is yours, and only yours. It doesn't have to be that long, 1/2 hour at the least. But try to do it often.
Most of us out there, live for others. Parents for their kids, others for their parents, some for others in the community who need help. You must remember yourself though, because without that time for yourself, how will you be able to care for others.
That bit of time you spend on yourself, will pay off in great stress relief in the end, and may even rejuvenate you enough to do that little extra, for you, for someone else you've been thinking about .
Here's to a less stress day!

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- Black Cohosh

Natural Cures-Black Cohosh


What is black cohosh? Black cohosh a member of the buttercup family, is a perennial plant that is native to North America. Other common names include black snakeroot, bugbane, bugwort, rattleroot, rattletop, rattleweed, and macrotys.
Insects avoid it, which accounts for some of these common names.

What It Is Used For

Black cohosh has a history of use for rheumatism (arthritis and muscle pain) but has been used more recently to treat hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and other symptoms that can occur during menopause.
Black cohosh has also been used for menstrual irregularities and premenstrual syndrome, and to induce labor.

It has been known to help with PMS in a big way, although the world of science will tell you that nothing has been proven, as they do with most natural products, the Black cohosh has it's helpfulness with period pain and bloating.

I suffer from PMS and PMDD, the Black Cohosh is very help full with these syndromes.
If you think you suffer from PMDD or Pre-Mentrual Disphoric Disorder, please see a doctor, as there is no cure as of yet, there is help out there.

Black cohosh should not be confused with blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides), which has different properties, treatment uses, and side effects than black cohosh. Black cohosh is sometimes used with blue cohosh to stimulate labor, but this therapy has caused adverse effects in newborns, which appear to be due to blue cohosh.

Tell your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.

Please if pregnant or nursing, do not use any natural product without consulting a doctor first.

Here's to a better menstruation cycle, and less of the menstruation phsyco!

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!

our puss, yup, Lemons are the way to go for such a sour looking face, but Lemons are our friends, they are good, they can work wonders for many things. Use Lemons to soothe a sunburn, heal a canker, soothe a sore throat, help a hoarse voice, help with inflammation, relieve joint pain, watch a friend's face go sour, ok, I'm getting off topic. Lemons can really help with all these things and more.

Lemons contain vitamin C, pectin and essential oils which help to strengthen capillary walls. The essential oils of a lemon peel stimulate the flow of lymph fluids. In other words they are good for the blood system! They also aid with Iron and Calcium absorption.
For Joint and nerve pain Use the peel by grating the skin from one lemon, just the yellow part not any of the white part underneath. Rub the grated peel into the affected body parts and wrap them with a bandage keep in place for 1-2 hours. For a sore throat, slice up a lemon, squeeze to taste and add to hot water, gargle when cooled, or just drink it down. For a canker , dilute the juice from a lemon and gargle or swish the juice in your mouth several times a day. Or just plain eat a lemon, like an orange, the effects are good for the whole body!

Natural Cures: HONEY LETS TALK ABOUT HONEY

HONEY LETS TALK ABOUT HONEY (Herbal Remedies)
They talk about the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees.........but lets talk about what the bees make and how it can help us.
Honey is a great all natural sweetener! Most of us use refined sugar to sweeten our coffee, cookies, cakes and so on. Refined sugar is not good for us, most of us know this, but we use it because its cheap and widely available to us. This type of sugar can cause all sorts of bad things to our bodys, including weight gain and diabetes. If you want a healthier choice try honey, the bees have already done all the work for us. They made it, they filter out environmental toxins and we just package it. As a sweetener you want to use it sparingly though, honey is sweeter than other sugars, so you need less, also it does carry more calories than refined sugar. So you can use less and not gain the weight.
You can also use Honey for a relaxing bath, put about 2 oz of honey in with some lavender oil in with your bath, and relax and enjoy.
Honey can be used for dressing wounds and releif of hay fever, asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory ailments. Its a great household remedy!
I want to warn you of this, do not give unpasteurized honey to infants. It has a kind of bacteria that can be very dangerous to those younger than one year old!

Bee smart, honey is helpful, but Bee careful with the young ones!

From neck pain to headaches to anxiety and panic attacks, lack of sleep etc...I probably could make a very long list, but that would just stress me out....

One of the best ways to reduce stress is with a proper breathing technique. Now I know most of you out there are saying, yeah, I've tried it , it doesn't work and I say you may be right, but I said the same thing until I did it right.

It takes some self training and patience, but when done often it becomes second nature.

Repeat this as many times as you like, but don't hyperventalate (that is feel dizzy and can't catch your breath)

Now when we are stressed we don't breathe right, our breaths become shorter and don't help us to relax. Also when the breaths are shorter your body isn't lacking oxygen at that time you are lacking carbon dioxide. So when you hold your breath, the more carbon dioxide your body is holding and this calms you down and relaxes you.


You see, its not too hard and it can do wonders for your body and mind!

    Natural Cures-Make Your Home Air Pure

    MAKE YOUR HOME AIR PURE
    If you want your house smelling clean and fresh, most of us go out and buy those expensive air fresheners which usually conk out in the firs day or so, or they cause our allergies to flare up or they just plain don't work.
    A good and natural way to make your home smell nice and purify the indoor air you breath is Lavender Oil. Lavender Oil can be used many ways for such things as skin irritations, tightening the skin around the breasts, insomnia, nerve pain, and sunburn relief, but for the air purification you would need to simply place this mixture of essential oils in a simmer pot and wait as the air is purified and the fresh scent helps to lift the mind body and spirit.
    Use 4 drops of lavender oil
    2 drops bergamot oil and 2 drops lemon oil
    Simmer as long as you like and repeat as often as you like. Your home will be fresh smelling, and purified all naturally, and much less expensively.

    Stop and smell the clean!
