The face is a part of the body that every one desires to keep as its best, because it’s the most visible part of our body. So, if this important part becomes disfigured, an emotional reaction occurs. That is why people are so conscious whenever they have any spots on their face. It makes them feel less confident on the way they deal with people because of the affected self esteem that these marks could bring.
An example of an upsetting skin disorder is Acne. It’s a common chronic disorder of the sebaceous glands present on the skin, characterized by the presence of blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, nodules, and cysts. It occurs predominantly on the face, chest, back, and upper arms.
This skin problem could appear between the ages of 12 and 30 but usually becomes more marked during adolescence, maybe it’s because at this age certain endocrine glands of the body are at their peak of activity, which influences the quantity of the secretions of the sebaceous glands.
Some factors that would worsen acne condition may be periods of emotional stress, premenstrual phase and when diet contains an excess of fats. Consequently, treatments are needed in order to prevent follicular obstruction, reduce inflammation, combat secondary infection, and eliminate factors that may predispose to acne.
There are many ways on how to treat acne, some of which are available in the market, but the fact is that too many chemicals are involved in most acne treatment and not all these products has the effectiveness they claim.
Today, people had come to realize the importance of natural acne medications. More and more people are opting for the natural way of treating acne because it has lesser side effects. Plus, many people find it more affordable and at the same time effective, compared to the commercial acne medications.
Natural is Beautiful
One of the best things about natural acne medications is that it functions the same way as the commercial acne medications, but cheaper. This is why more people are looking for these solutions, as an alternative way for those who cannot afford the expensive treatments.
Generally, these natural acne medications contain natural ingredients and biological substances such as tea tree oil, green tea extract, Vitamin E, rapeseed oil, Aloe vera, and some of the essential oils, which had long been proven to act upon any blemishes on the skin.
Take for example the green tea extract. It is considered as an antioxidant, which has been proven to reduce the effects of the harmful chemicals and pollutants that damage the skin. Because of its Polyphenols component, a certain genre from the Bioflavonoid family, it was found out that it has high anti-oxidant assets, which experts find it higher than what the vitamin E has. It is also known to be an efficient anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial agent, which is the main component needed in the treatment of acne problems.
The Prevention
People should start using natural acne medications today, instead of the commercialized and expensive treatments, because the more complex the treatment the more you will have difficulty in treating acne.
Experts further contend that complex solutions and multifaceted medications are more susceptible in worsening the problem. This is because too many chemicals in the skin tend to over manipulate the skin, thereby, causing more clogged pores.
So, for better acne treatment, it is best to look for the natural acne medications that will not only help you enhance your appearance but are also bio-friendly in the environment. As they say, “the real beauty is natural beauty”.

sexual health supplements

Several natural sexual health supplements are now gaining popularity in the United States. These sexual health supplements come in different shapes and sizes, with some packaged as chemical-based medications and others marketed as purely herbal preparations. Among the variety of herbal supplements for sexual health, there are two natural products that have been considered as having the most positive impact on male and female sexual health. The mixture of maca and bee pollen has been given positive reviews by some consumer groups and researchers. Bee pollen is said to possess healing and preventative properties that promote male reproductive health. It has been found to prevent prostate problems, increase sperm count, as well as improve one’s sexual performance and libido.

On the other hand, pollen has been found to increase libido, eliminate discomforts of premenstrual syndrome, as well as improving their ovarian functions. Bee pollen is a complete food and nutrition source and contains many elements not found in products of animal origin. The protein content is richer in pollen as compared to any animal source and it contains more amino acids than beef, eggs, or cheese of the same weight. The concentration of nutrients found in natural pollen is extremely high, that’s why even a small dose of this wonder food will bring about healthy benefits in the human body.

Maca is a root that has been commonly referred to as the natural Viagra. These sexual health supplements can be of great help to people who are dealing with sexual health issues and concerns. The pollen that comes from the bee has been found to be the most complete food source in the world. This natural supplement is rich in antioxidants, proteins, free amino acids, vitamins A, B-complex, C, E, minerals, antibiotic properties, as well as in anti-cancer properties.

Maca is similar to a kind of plant with radish like roots. The roots of this plant is dried up and stored for up to seven years, and has been found to be rich in essential minerals, especially selenium, potassium, iron, magnesium, and calcium. It also contains fatty acids such as linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acids, not to mention polysaccarides. Maca originated from the country of Peru, and has been used by the ancient Inca people for centuries as a natural tonic. Recent research has shown that Maca is a natural hormone dispenser and alternative treatment for male and female sexual health problems.

But there is more to bee pollen and Maca, especially when the two wonders of nature are made into a special concoction. A combination of Maca and bee pollen helps improve stamina and endurance. As an aphrodisiac, it helps increase male vitality and sexual performance. Athletes and the elderly also benefit a lot from this combination. It gives them more energy and prevents life-threatening diseases. In sufficient amounts, the concoction also works as a treatment for depression, various addictions, and trauma. Certain pollens are now mixed with other high-potency natural food sources like Maca to bring out and enhance more of its health benefits for humans. Other potent ingredients mixed with pollens are royal jelly and Siberian ginseng.

stop smoking naturally

Tobacco or cigarettes are considered as one of the most addictive substances known to man. People only tend to see the bad side of smoking after they get sick. When the right time comes, a person can think of quitting smoking due to factors such as health, family concerns, or financial problems. When trying to quit smoking, people often go for the easy way out which is unfortunately almost always unreliable and ineffective.

Many non-smokers wonder about the power that sways over tobacco and cigarette users. Nicotine is, in fact, a very powerful form of substance. Perhaps, knowing the very real dangers of tobacco or cigarette consumption could motivate smokers to drop their dangerous vice. Nicotine use actually results in pleasurable sensations that are felt in the brain. This explains the supposed calming effects of smoking. But while the nicotine lulls the smoker with those calming sensations, the ingredients of the cigarette are actually weakening many of the body’s vital organs including the lungs and the liver. Smoking also pollutes a person’s blood.

But all is not lost even for the most addicted smoker. There are actually a number of ways to quit the habit. Smokers can choose to go “cold turkey” and just suddenly stop smoking. Or they can use a variety of anti-smoking oral medications, patches, and nicotine substitutes. Smokers can also go “green” by taking all-natural anti-smoking products. One positive side about giving up smoking with the aid of natural products is that you do not have to fear getting any side effects that normally come when one uses chemical-based drugs. From a philosophical standpoint, it can be said that if one has created a disease for himself by living in an unhealthy manner against the laws of nature, one can also find a cure to that disease from nature itself.

To stop smoking naturally is merely not a possibility, but a reality that has helped thousands of people who decided to quit using cigarettes. For example, oats of the common garden variety have been used successfully in helping opium addicts manage symptoms of withdrawal. By applying the same principle, an alcoholic extract in the form of tincture is now being used by patients who experience nicotine withdrawal. Another mixture composed of herbal tinctures from white-horse hound, mullein, green oats, peppermint, and golden seal is placed on the tongue in drops whenever one has the craving for smoking cigarettes, with astonishing results.

Another supportive role could be derived from the alternative healing method called acupuncture. The mixture of the prescribed medicated oil is applied to different acupuncture points. But this practice should only be done by an acupuncture specialist. There are also herbal aromas, herbal cigarettes, herbal liquids, herbal lozenges and many other products that would help one in their effort to stop smoking naturally. But aside from using these natural products, a person who has decided to quit smoking must also muster the most potent source of cure for nicotine addiction, and that is one’s own will power.

Before you reach that cup of coffee or that bar of chocolate, which will probably only give you an energy boost for a couple of minutes and your probably feel worse after it as your body crashes again and you end up at square one again.

Here is a breathing exercise you can use as a natural energy booster, find a place where you can relax either on a bed or upright in a chair, because this exercise can bring on a feeling of dizziness to the beginner trying it out please don’t try to do it in a standing position or whilst in your car!

Firstly get yourself comfortable position whether suiting in a chair or lying on your bed and keep your back in straight position so nothing is effecting the air flow. Close your mouth and start to breathe in and out through your nose in a rapid fashion, try to breath about 2-3 inhalations a second for about 10 seconds. I know that at the start it will probably feel awkward and you will fill your muscle are having to work harder (this is good for strengthening your diaphragm) but the more you practice it you’ll find it easier to do and when you feel comfortable and gotten over the dizzy sensations you can then increase the length of time you do this for, add up to 5 seconds more onto this but don’t get carried away… it’s better to do small amounts over the day than try to do it over too long of a period.

This exercise works because it helps to increase the amount of oxygen coming into your body and give the body and muscles the needed the oxygen they have been needing. While this exercise is great in the short term you really need to work on your breathing technique overall to improve your energy levels right through the day.

Summary:

Nature, it is said, can provide for all the needs of humankind, even seemingly “artificial” ones, such as birth control methods. Various herbs and plants have been used for centuries to help prevent pregnancy, with some of them being backed up by science and others by historical references. Among these herbs are wild yams, pomegranate seeds, and Queen Anne’s Lace seeds.

birth control methods

Pharmaceutical contraceptives, such as hormonal control pills, are among the more commonly used means to prevent pregnancy. Another popular tactic would be the use of “blocking” contraceptives, such as condoms and diaphragms. Among the more religiously inclined, discipline-based methods such as abstinence and the Creighton model are slowly gaining prominence. However, there are other birth control methods apart from the ones listed above. Among these birth control methods would be the use of herbal supplements and alternative medicine techniques, which borrow from the accumulated wisdom of the ancient civilizations that first utilized their effectiveness.

It should be noted that these alternative birth control methods often have variable success rates, with modern medical science finding that some of these ancient secrets don’t work at all. Also, all of these herbs and plant extracts are taken differently from one another, with varying methods of preparation. Most of these herbal birth control methods have no scientific documentation to back up their claims and rely solely on centuries’ worth of compiled user “testimonials” and folklore. It is generally advisable for anyone who uses an herbal contraceptive to use a more conventional form of birth control such as the pill or a condom to further minimize the risks of unwanted pregnancy.

One herbal treatment is wild yam, which is said to have contraceptive properties if prepared and used correctly. This is one of those herbal medications that must be taken twice a day every day to work, provided an ample amount of time after the first dose is taken for the herb to get to work. Some reports that the herb can prevent pregnancy for up to a year or two before something happens and the female gets pregnant. There is a lack of hard, scientific data to prove or disprove the supposed contraceptive properties of the herb. It is possible that the body merely develops a tolerance for the effects of wild yam over time, though this theory has never been tested.

Pomegranate has been used by various cultures for centuries, but most herbalists and medical experts believe it to be more of a historical curiosity than something that deserves to be listed among other birth control methods. Oestrone, a compound that is identical to estrogen, is found in high levels in pomegranate seeds. According to tests, the seeds have the highest concentration of oestrone among all plants. What that may mean in terms of using the seeds as a contraceptive is currently uncertain, though artwork and records as far back as the Roman Republic have shown women with pomegranate seeds in hand. This, combined with a number of cultural clues, have led some historians to believe that the seeds were used to prevent pregnancy. Whether or not they actually worked, or how effective they were for the ancients, is still subject of debate and testing.

Queen Anne’s Lace seeds are also known to have been used as a contraceptive, but has the distinction of being one of the few that has scientific data to back the claim. The herb is best used as a “morning after” contraceptive, which means it allows the user the freedom to use it as needed. Usually, the herb is taken in tincture form within the first eight hours of exposure to sperm, though two or three additional doses afterwards are not uncommon. One thing that has been noted about Queen Anne’s Lace is that it relies heavily on hormone balance in the body to work, which means that there are some situations where it would not work. For example, women who have just given birth or just came off the pill are likely to have hormone levels that would make the herb ineffective.

The article is about the advent of weight loss pills in the market and other aids in weight management. People turn to herbal medicines believing that all weight loss medications do not produce harmful side effects. The writer emphasizes that a healthy lifestyle is still the best weight loss pill.

Weight loss is one of the common issues faced by thousands if not millions of people today. It is now such a serious health concern that pharmaceutical companies race against each other to churn out the “most effective, fastest weight loss pill” in the world. As the “Battle of the Bulge” rages on, hundreds of brands of weight loss pills have been deployed in the market to meet the demand from an ever growing market. These pills come in different shapes, sizes, and prices. A quick visit to the local pharmacy will get you confused over the sheer array of pound-beating concoctions such the cheap over-the counter slimming pills, herbal pills, and, of course, the prescription weight loss pills that can only be bought with prior approval from a doctor. Regardless of brand or classification, all these weight loss pills promise to make the consumer lose those unwanted pounds in only a short matter of time. Some of the more safety-conscious consumers trying to lose weight have turned to herbal remedies believing that these products have absolutely no side effects. But many forget that the term “natural” does not necessarily mean “safe.” Some of weight loss products out in the market have yet to receive the FDA’s seal of approval.

Ephedra

Green Tea Extract and Ephedra are two of the most common ingredients found among so-called natural herbal weight loss pills. According to experts, ephedra is effective and efficient as a short-term weight loss preparation. The said ingredient helps decrease one’s appetite, and thus, reduce the amount of calorie intake that must be controlled by any weight watcher. This substance however, can be hazardous because of its side effects. Studies show that moderate adverse effects of ephedra may include irritability, diarrhea, nervousness, insomnia, vomiting , and headache. High doses of ephedra may increase blood pressure that could possibly cause cardiac rhythm disorders. Seizures and even death are also probable yet rare outcomes of unregulated use of ephedra.

Green Tea Extract

Research shows that green tea extract is rich in polyphenols, from which are derived substances called catechins. Catechins are antioxidants that are found in coffee and have been proven to increase calorie and fat metabolism while decreasing appetite. Additional studies claim that consumption of tea containing green tea extract may help fight heart disease, cancer, and other illnesses. Still, overconsumption of this tea have also been associated with several side effects. Mild side effects that may occur while taking green tea or green tea extract are vomiting, ingestion, and diarrhea. Caffeine in this type of tea may also cause irritability, restlessness, and sleeping problems. While moderate consumption of green tea may produce beneficial outcomes, it is, however, not advised for consumption by pregnant women.

Healthy lifestyle

Perhaps the best and safest way to trim down is by having a balanced diet, staying physically active, and by making sure you have adequate amount of rest. A healthy lifestyle is still the best weight loss pill, a way of living that should never be taken for granted. Although there are herbal medicines and a host of other so-called “wonder drugs” out in the market, not all of them are actually side-effect free. As a rule, one should always know everything there is to know about a slimming product or a prescribed weight loss pill. Before you try to lose weight, always make sure that you have the right and complete information.

Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life. One aspect of child-bearing, however, may not be so welcomed. For 75-90% of pregnant women, stretch marks, or striae gravidum, can appear in the later half of pregnancy. Stretch marks do not pose any health risk to either the mother or child, but can cause anxiety over their appearance for those who develop them. Stretch marks first appear as raised striations which vary in colour from pink, purple or brown, depending on the mother’s normal skin colour. Striations develop where fat is stored in the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts and arms.
Stretch marks develop during pregnancy because of rapid and excessive weight gain in areas such as the lower abdomen or thighs. As weight increases, the collagen and elastin in the dermal layer of the skin, responsible for retaining shape and firmness, is stretched to the point of breaking. The dermis is the layer beneath the epidermis, or visible layer of the skin. The elastic fibres in the dermis weaken with stretching and increased cortisone levels normally produced in the last trimester. As these fibres separate and the skin stretches, collagen is overproduced to form scar tissue which result in striations.
There is no cure for stretch marks. The scarring process that has occurred in the dermis cannot be reversed, but stretch marks will flatten, fade and lighten over time. Creams which contain steroids such as hydrocortisone, or active agents like tretinoin (retin-A) should not be used during pregnancy, and especially not during the first trimester when the fetus is highly vulnerable. Plastic surgery methods are available to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, such as dermabrasion or laser, but treatments are expensive and results vary.
Genetics play a role in whether a pregnant woman will develop stretch marks, but equally influential factors are the condition of the skin and nutrition in determining the onset and severity of stretch mark development. Well-hydrated and healthy skin stretches more easily, so drinking plenty of fluids and eating foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and silica, a component in collagen formation, are beneficial.
Lotions, creams and other topical treatments will not reach the dermis, but they can help relieve the itchiness or dryness associated with stretch marks. Keeping the skin moisturized decreases any discomfort that may be felt and if stretch marks are treated when they first appear, their appearance may be reduced significantly. Massaging nutrient-rich natural oils such as wheatgerm, jojoba or vitamin E can help heal the epidermis and also increase blood circulation to the affected area, assisting the healing process. Pregnant women should avoid products containing clary sage, basil, cinnamon or thyme, as these might adversely affect the fetus.
Stretch marks eventually fade and become less obvious over time. Maintaining a balanced perspective about stretch marks can keep pregnancy a most precious time for mother and baby.

Diabetes is a disease caused when the body does not properly produce insulin. Seven percent of the population in the United States has diabetes. There are two types of the disease. Type one diabetes is where the body does not produce insulin and type two is where the body resists insulin. The majority of people diagnosed with this disease have type two. Symptoms of diabetes include extreme thirst, hazy vision, excessive hunger, weight fluctuation, fatigue and frequent urination. Diabetes is often controlled with insulin and prescription drugs, but diet and exercise play a large part in the ability to control the disease. There are also herbs that can help reduce the effects of diabetes.
Ensure a healthy diet by concentrating on foods such as vegetables, grains, fiber and legumes. These foods will help regulate sugar in the blood stream. Avoid junk food and foods that contain sugar such as cakes, cookies and other sweets. Alcohol, tobacco and caffeine should also be avoided to maintain a nourishing diet.
Exercise helps promote good health and combats against the negative effects of diabetes. It is important to exercise regularly and keep an appropriate weight. People who are inactive or overweight have a higher risk factor for diabetes and are prone to suffer from more side effects caused by the disease. It is especially important to exercise to build muscle. Starting a weight program will increase muscle mass which will increase sensitivity to insulin.
There are many herbal remedies recognized for their therapeutic properties of treating diabetes. They are commonly found in pharmacies and grocery stores and can be a great natural remedy. Prickly pear cactus has shown positive results in the treatment of this disease and was recently recognized by the International Diabetes Center as a viable natural remedy. Bitter Melon has been used for years in Asia, Africa and South America for treatment. Garlic will reduce sugar levels and is a healthy way to add flavor to food while benefiting from its curative traits. Other common herbs are ginseng, psyllium, fenugreek, bilberry, dandelion and burdock.
Vitamin supplements are frequently used to help treat diabetes with the most commonly recommended ones being vitamins B6, C and E. Also, zinc, selenium, alpha lipoic acid, chromium and vanadium are commonly used. Rather than take individual supplements, some patients opt for a multivitamin to add to their diet.
Diabetes is a disease that affects a large portion of the population. The risks associated with it are serious but can be controlled with lifestyle change. Ensuring a well balanced diet and good exercise routine will help in preventing side effects. Also, proper use of herbs, vitamins and natural remedies will help prevent the necessity for more traditional means of medication.

High cholesterol levels can greatly increase the risk of heart disease including potentially fatal heart attacks. Heart disease can be caused by a number of factors but lowering cholesterol can have many positive effects and reduce risk. High cholesterol causes hardening of the arteries. Blood flow is then reduced to the heart which may result in chest pains or a heart attack. Lowering the possible causes of hardening or blocking the arteries will help maintain a healthy heart.

For severely high cholesterol it is recommended to seek consultation with a physician for the best course of treatment. Traditionally, this is treated with prescription medication. However, the majority of people can lower cholesterol naturally without the use of prescription drugs. Natural remedies are abundantly available. With a few changes in eating habits and lifestyle, one can easily lower cholesterol.

Eating foods that are low in fat will help as well as avoiding those with high fat content, especially foods containing trans-fat. Spreads such as butter and margarine have high levels of trans-fat. Packaged foods and frozen foods generally contain high levels also. Potato chips, crackers, baked goods and fast foods are all types to avoid. Instead concentrate on foods that are low in fat and high in fiber. Foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, and garlic are great to use in your daily diet.

Lifestyle changes are important if you are not leading a fairly healthy life. Smoking can increase the chances of having high cholesterol. Quitting not only will help this but will also reduce several other medical risks. Regular exercise will help promote a healthy heart. Partake in some form of aerobic exercise several times each week.

Vitamin E may help reduce fatty formations on arteries. Artichoke leaf extract helps produce bile while assisting in eliminating cholesterol from the body. Chromium is a proven method of maintaining correct blood sugar levels, which will help control cholesterol. Niacin in high doses has shown benefits for reducing cholesterol. However, if taking other medications, consult a physician as niacin can react adversely to other medications.

High cholesterol is a condition that affects many people throughout the world. It can increase chances of heart disease and potentially shorten life. Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating healthy and exercising can reduce these risks significantly. Adding supplements can also help reduce cholesterol levels. Although the risks of high cholesterol are serious, it is easily controlled.

Science has proved repeatedly that synthetic products are not as well tolerated as natural vitamins supplements. Unlike the ones extracted from various herbs, pharmaceutical compounds sold under the name of mineral and vitamin supplements require a high effort on the part of the body for adequate and healthy processing. Moreover, the assimilation rate of synthetic compounds is a lot lower than that of natural vitamin supplements, which is why the latter are usually favored when it comes to diet support. Presently, it is beyond any doubt that the best source of vitamins and minerals is Mother Nature, and this “nature-oriented” trend is gaining prominence.

Natural vitamin supplements do not overload the body and immediately pass into the blood flow, once they are identified as easy to process. Many people have actually taken the habit of administrating the natural vitamin supplements during meals because of the widespread belief that they will be better absorbed. As a matter of fact, natural vitamin supplements do not depend on specific times of the day in order to have an optimum action, they can be taken with or without food, any time you like. The general recommendation is that you administrate the supplement in the morning, so as to benefit from the boost of energy throughout the entire work day.

Plenty of herbs, fruits and vegetables lie at the basis of the manufacturing process of natural vitamin supplements. Lemons, limes and kiwis for instance provide a great source of vitamin C, but little do people know that the wild rose extract is even richer in vitamin C. Hence, don’t be surprised to read the name of such a herb on the natural vitamin supplements you are taking. Over the last decade, there has also been an upsurge in the interest shown towards the great benefits of certain seaweed and algae for human health.

Natural vitamin supplements that include high concentrations of spirulina, chlorella and other green-blue algae are totally positive in the action they have on the body. Unlike any other vitamin and mineral supplement, they have absolutely no side effects, allowing long-term or indefinite administration. Actually, in certain parts of the world, such seaweeds are part of the regular diet of native African tribes that prepare them in bread-like food items. All in all, the popularity of such natural miraculous remedies can definitely mean one thing: people are every day more preoccupied with the return to natural vitamin supplements.
