I believe in natural home remedies more than some of the traditional
scientific cures when possible. I believe natural products can do
wonders for your health and beauty.
Ailments can be treated with natural methods to resolve physical and
emotional issues in many cases rather than with medication. These
are alternatives that can be used for different kinds of treatments
and conditions.
Some of the alternatives to prescriptions can be exercise, dance,
yoga, massage, essential oils, etc.
Essential oils have been used in the world for centuries as remedies
for many different health issues and they are believed to work well
with human nature because they are used in their natural state
therefore having a natural condition as the common basis for great
results. They are easily absorbed by the skin.
Accordingly some of the studied strong properties are fighting
bacteria, fungi, virus, etc. and repelling insects and other
species. Described below are some of the benefits of using essential
oils:
- Common uses for relaxation are lavender, ylang ylang, rose,
geranium, sandalwood.
- For mood changes try sage, fennel, jasmine or lavender.
- To focus: eucalyptus, basil, peppermint.For pain, sorrow:
lavender, sage, eucalyptus, juniper.
- Feet corns: one drop each of lemon, oregano, tangerine &
myrrh oil.
- Inhale eucalyptus or peppermint oil for stuffy sinuses.
- To help hair growth use 4 to 6 drops of rosemary, ylang
ylang, cedarwood and clary sage in shampoo.
- For dandruff use 5 drops of lemon oil, one drop of rosemary
or sage, and one drop of lavender oil all mixed in a quart of water.
A lot of information is available on the Internet, companies that
sell these oils and books on how to use them so that these
alternative methods can be really useful as treatments and beauty
products.
Coconut oil has excellent properties and it does not turn into fat in
the body unlike other oils like soy or corn. Coconut oil contains an
easy fuel that the body burns without converting it into fat called
medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). This fuel (MCT) is more easily
absorbed and converted to energy quicker, while most other cooking
oils and fats contain long-chain triglycerides (LCT) which are
usually stored as fat.
For centuries large amounts of coconut have been produced and
consumed as food and oil every day in the tropics. The amount of
oil consumed in their diet does not increase their weight but on the
contrary helps them to be healthy and lean. When they utilize the
other widely used common oils they gain weight and other conditions
that result from obesity and are challenges in modern everyday life.
Animals fed with coconut oil become lean. This has also been a
known fact for people who are in the animal feed business for a long
time. When domestic animals are given common vegetable oils, they
increase their weight and at the same time produce fatty meat.
Coconut oil is one of the best oils you can directly use on your skin
and hair, healing and restoring skin to a younger appearance. It has
also been known to give temporary relief to skin problems like
rashes, help with people who suffer from yeast infections in the
skin, recover slow thyroids by reviving production of extra thyroid
hormones, as well as many other skin problems.
Coconut oil softens and smooths your skin, has antioxidant properties
that protect the skin from free severe damage and is an excellent
massage oil too. It also helps the body absorb other nutrients like
Vitamin E more effectively. It is considered one of the best oils
for your health.
