Natural respiratory remedies

Here are some natural approaches to treating lower respiratory disease

First you should look at your diet.  Nutrition, nature's health insurance, must be a priority for anyone wanting to treat their ailments and heal properly.  A diet low in fruits and vegetables and high in red meat and prepackaged foods is linked to lung weakness.

  Ginger, cabbage, radish, seaweed, watercress, garlic, onions, and leeks, in contrast, help with bronchitis.  Make sure to cut out items that will worsen your respiratory condition.  Alcohol, sugars, fruit juice, and dairy products should be avoided.

Another good approach is to steam with essential oils.  Many essential oils have strong antiviral and antibiotic properties.

• Eucalyptus essential oil:  Effective decongestant effect.  Good for steaming or adding to a sauna or bath.
• Basil essential oil:  Useful as an antispasmodic and for chest infections.
• Thyme essential oil:  Strengthens body's resistance to infections and useful for respiratory infections.

Enhance Your Sex Drive Naturally

Herbs have been used as a method for enhancing sex drive for thousands of years.

Sex Drive can be affected in a number of ways. Testosterone levels can affect sex drive; personal circumstances related to work and family, can inhibit it too; as well as psychological factors, like personality and stress. Lifestyle,medical conditions, relationships problems and medications can also play a major part in decreasing sex drive.

Fortunately there are a number of Natural Remedies, for both men and women, that can help. Listed below are the 6 most popular:

Ginseng: Known primarily for its energy enhancing powers it helps improve mental and physical stamina providing a good basis for significantly increasing sex drive in both men and women.

Ashwagandha: This is known in India as a male herbal sexual health tonic.It works by increasing blood circulation to the male sexual organs.

Yohimbe: This is considered to be one of the most potent herbs for male sexual dysfunction. It is so potent that, if consumed in excessive amounts, can cause blood pressure related issues. It is available in supplement form and used in the right dosage can be a good natural way to increase sex drive. There have been no conclusive studies as to whether it is suitable for women and therefore it is not recommended due to the risk of side effects.

Damiana: This is a herb traditionally used by the Mayan people to enhance sexual function in both men and women. Although there is currently no scientific evidence to support this, it has been used to improve both mood and sex drive.
Horny Goat Weed: Also known as Yin Yang Hue has the benefit of improving overall health whilst helping with sex drive and stamina. The only negative side to this herb is that it takes approximately one week for the effects to be noticed.
Maca: This is one of the oldest known sexual enhancement herbs, being used as far back as the Incas. It is also commonly know as Peruvian Ginseng. It is particularly effective for women.

Natural ways to shrink tumors!

Here are some proven cancer fighters, some may even be in your kitchen!

A diet rich in antioxidants and full of alkaline foods can help prevent and even fight cancers.  Here are a few anticancer items to add to your diet.

Green Tea

A study published in the journal Nanomedicine concluded that two-thirds of tumors treated with green tea extract shrank while causing zero side effects to healthy surrounding tissue.  Green tea is also a powerful antioxidant that removes free radicals from the body.

Mushrooms
Reishi mushroom extract is a government registered anti cancer.  Reishi, shitake, oyser,  and even common crimini mushrooms all have anticancer properties.  Reishi mushrooms inhibit tumor growth and reduce size of tumors by increasing the body's production of interleukin 1 and 2.  Regular consumption of crimini mushrooms reduces the risk of hormone related breast cancer by inhibiting estrogen production.

Blueberries
An Ohio State University study has shown that blueberries shrink blood vessel tumors, the most common tumor in young children.  In 2005 a University of Illinois study concluded that wild blueberries inhibited the initiation and proliferation of bladder and liver cancer cells as well.







If you or someone you know has cancer, it may be worth your while to take the nutritional approach to healing.  Remember, nutrition is natures health insurance.  Chemo and radiation kill more people then they save and these natural remedies have no harmful side effects.  In fact, they taste delicious and are not nearly as expensive as poisonous conventional treatments.

Surprising health benefits of avocado!

Who doesn't like a bit of guacamole?  Well it may turn out that there is much more to like about the super-fruit avocado than just the flavor!

Nature's health insurance!

Anti Cancer:  Avocados are a rich source of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that attacks free radicals in the body by blocking the absorption of certain fats in the intestines.  Scientists also suspect that avocados may be useful in treating viral hepatitis, a cause of liver cancer.

Helps Diabetes:  Avocados are absolutely packed with monounsaturated fats also known as "the good fat."  These fats actually help lower bad or LDL cholesterol and raise beneficial HDL cholesterol in the blood.  Cholesterol management is crucial for diabetes patients due to the heightened heart disease risk due to diabetes.  Monounsaturated fats may also help the body process insulin and glucose more readily.  Avocados also tout high levels of Vitamin E which is believed to reduce the risk of heart disease and nerve damage in diabetics.

Reduces Inflammation:  Since avocados remove free radicals, they prevent cell damage and reduce inflammation throughout the body.  Some even believe that consuming avocados regularly can slow the process of aging!

Remember that avocados can be incorporated into several recipes and even help you absorb more of the nutrients from the meals in which they are included and even aid in weight loss!  The darker part of the fruit closest to the skin contains most of the beneficial compounds so don't let any go to waste!   Oh yeah, plant the seed too.
