Posted in Natural Remedies on November 28th, 2009
Alright, now that we have talked about Echinacea a little bit, let’s talk about how you can get some into your system to prevent you from getting the flu. One of the first things that you need to realize is that Echinacea is actually a purple coneflower, as shown here. The flower head is something that is really used a lot to cure a lot of things but the root is also something that can help you out.
The root is actually what Echinacea capsules are made out of and these are available at any pharmacy, drug store or even health store that you may be going to. These are one great way that you can get some Echinacea into your system.
The next way is via Echinacea root tea – this is fantastic if you are already sick and are looking to speed up the recovery process.

Now that we have talked about dandruff and lemon juice, let’s go ahead and dive right into another technique and natural hair care remedy that I have used many, many times. Tea leaves are actually fantastic for your hair and after making your tea – if you boil the used tea bag in two to three cups of hot water, you will actually be able to create a regenerating rinsing solution for dull hair.
If you are looking for some silky strands, you can use henna extract, as it is by far the most efficient. Basically, you mix a henna paste with eggs and lemon juice and use it as a hair conditioner. I can promise it works!
Finally, if you have dry hair, two to three teaspoons of olive or coconut oil can be used in the mixture above, as that is something that can really liven up and repair your hair!

Using Mint Oil for Healing Purposes

Posted in Natural Remedies on October 20th, 2009
It comes as no surprise that mint oil can be a healer. Or, rather, the curative power of mint itself has been known for a long time. Traditionally, it was recommended as a tea or as a mixture of the leaves.
Mint oil, however, gets extracted from the entire plant, and it is said to be able to help with not only digestive problems, but also with headaches, nausea, and the problems which occur with menopause.
You see, the menthol in mint oil — of which it has high levels — has anesthetic and antiseptic qualities and effects.
It can thus also be used to help with respiratory infections. If you use it properly, it can help with headaches, coughing, colds, and even muscular cramps. The oil can also fight bacterial infections, so it may be an effective acne treatment as well.
How Heliotherapy Can Benefit Your Health

Posted in Natural Remedies on October 18th, 2009
So what is heliotherapy? It is a method of alternative healthing which utilizes the ultraviolet raise from the sun to increase the nutrients and vitamins produced by the body for the skin.
Vitamin D will increase, which leads to a better, faster metabolism, which can help everything from losing weight to fighting illnesses.
Now, if you are like me, the whole idea of heliotherapy produces a little skepticism, because isn’t that much sun supposed to be bad for us? Isn’t it bad for our skin?
Of course it is; we have been warned about the potential harm of ultraviolet rays for years now.
However, small doses of sunlight are recommended for heliotherapy. You should not even be outside long enough to run the smallest risk of a sunburn.
Thus far, heliotherapy is touted as a natural antibiotic, an immune system enhancer, and a stress reliever.

Now that we have talked a little bit about exactly what the Alexander technique really is, let’s go ahead and touch base on exactly what you are going to be doing. Basically, when you are doing the Alexander technique, the exercises are going to be very relaxing, stress reducing and will help to straighten up your spine and help all of your muscles and articulations.
This is a technique that is usually introduced from early childhood, in order to help anyone really obtain the art of balance and movement coordination. As people grow up though, they really fall into bad habits of slouching down or carrying too much weight on one side of them.
The Alexander technique is there to change all of that and really help you straighten up your posture and how to carry things on both sides, distributing the weight onto both shoulders.

Pain is something that can come in all different forms and can really hit you anywhere. One of the worst pains in the world to deal with is back pain. I know that when my back hurts, I really can not do anything else and I really don’t want to do anything else. Well – did you know there are actually natural cures that can really help relieve some of that pain for you?
The Alexander Technique is one of the pain relievers that I have found that really – really works. What most people don’t know is that the Alexander technique is actually super easy and anyone can really do it. It is basically being aware of your posture and being self conscience about your own body.
The exercises themselves for this particular technique are pretty easy and that is what we are going to talk about in the next blog!
