Herbal remedies for thinning hair.

February 28th, 2008

Well hair is a sore point with me. I had a lot now I don’t have any!

And I want my once luxurious hair back as soon as possible. SO here are  a few herbal remedies I’m planning  to try out as soon as possible.

Heat 50 ml of coconut hair with three flakes of garlic and powder of  four peppercorns . Massage the cooled oil into your head as regularly as possible.

Prepare a mix of almond oil, olive oil and castor oil for daily  massage into  hair this can stimulate hair growth and improve hair texture.

Massage some garlic cloves  into your scalp. This increases blood circulation as well as kills of any infections which are causing hair loss

Good diet is also essential for good hair. Eat a balanced diet of  plenty of water, raw salads, yogurt, leafy vegetables and whole grain cereals. Avoid fried snacks, salt, sugar and aerated drinks in general.

Try shifting to herbal shampoos  which do not contribute to hair loss.

Toxic substances which can damage your health!

The production of fake drugs is a vast and under-reported problem, commonly affecting poorer countries. But you can’t really blame just the countries. Quack doctors are also willing to try anything in search of a quick buck.

for example Botoxing your wrinkles has become pretty popular in recent times with many women doing this as an outpatient procedure during their lunch break. Although the procedure is pretty simple in the wrong hands it can be potentially life-threatening.

This is basically because of unapproved use of the botulinim toxin.This toxin is available in two types; one for cosmetic use and the other for medicinal use which is much more potent.

This popular procedure has now been linked to dangerous botulism symptoms in some users. A few cases so bad that children have died!!!!A few women have even been hospitalized due to the botox spreading and causing paralysis nerves further away from the site of injection.

Although the exact spread of cases of botox defects is not really known , the FDA is carrying on a serious investigation.

Home remedies for acidity

February 27th, 2008

There was a time when oral contraceptive pills gave me heaving acidity.I just couldn’t lie down for fear that the gushing fluid of acid would make me throw up.I was afraid of even eating at night in fear of invoking an acid attack. Gradually with a change in the pills the conditioning too subsided.But it returned with a ferocity during my first pregnancy.Nothing would go down and everything in my stomach would insist on moving up toward my mouth.

OOH!Constant nausea and heart burn!

Thats when My mother got me these home remedies to try and they worked.

Aloe Vera has a great cooling effect and reduces the intensity of the acid attack. Take two times a day

Apple cider vinegar made of apple juice is pretty good too.

Homeowner Loans for your needs !

Getting house loan can be difficult or easy .Here are a few tips to help you select a good loan for your home financing.

  •  A basic fact to keep in mind is that the more flexible the loan, the higher interest you’ll pay. A variable loan which allows you to draw against repayments or offset savings against the mortgage will have a higher rate than a basic loan.
  • don’t forget to take into account all the extra fees that come with buying a house – some or all of these: stamp duty, legal costs, disbursements, mortgage insurance, pest inspection report, survey report, builder’s report, strata inspection report, loan application fee, valuation fee, registration fee, sundry fees like refinancing or switching fees.
  • Attractive when interest rates are rising, fixed-rate loans also lock you in for a fixed term and as such are less flexible than variable-rate loans.

Here’s where you can get good deal on your financing needs by opting for www.magicloans.co.uk.

They have a simple and straight forward process of applying for loans and getting the loans approved as soon as possible.Take a look at the site for further information.

Herbal remedies for flatulence.

February 27th, 2008

This is a nasty topic but unfortunately I couldn’t bear another night of hubby’s unforgiving and pungent farts. I fled to the internet to get a good way to bottle up th noxious fumes which are now fuming up my air-conditioned bedroom. Here is a good recipe I plan to test out on my pungent hubby.

A quarter teaspoon of powdered Caraway seeds,
A quarter teaspoon of powdered Fennel seeds,
A quarter teaspoon of powdered Peppermint leaves,
and a carafe of boiling water

Mix these pre-powdered herbs in a bowl and let it steep for 5-10 minutes. Strain the powder and drink the tea twice a day before meals while still warm.

You can also try a simple tea with powdered aniseed or mint or even caraway seeds after fermenting for about ten minutes and sipped daily.
