The Water Hyssop Medicinal Uses


The water hyssop. There is some debate as to the native status of this little herb but, despite having a Sanskrit name (Brahmi), it has been in North America as long as anyone can remember so it's probably pan-tropical. This little plant has a phenomenal variety of medicinal uses and has been utilized from ancient times right up to the present. I can't begin to list them all but uses including a natural way to improve memory, antioxidant properties, tranquillizer, muscle relaxant, anti-anxiety and a natural anti-depressant.

Health Benefits Of Love

We all know love is great. But did you know it can be great for your health?

The health benefits of Love:

Reduces stress
Promotes Mental Health
Lower the Chances of Cancer
Lessen Pain
Improve blood circulation
Lower blood pressure
Reduce the risk of heart diseases
Improves our memory
Provides a sense of security
Raises you confidence

So what are you waiting for ? Go find some love!

Just a few tips for people in search of love. From a person that has had many relationships... epic failures to epic success. The words of wisdom that I would like to share... is this: Find someone who makes you laugh - someone that you aren't afraid to be yourself around. Looks are not the most important thing. Find a kind heart and a gentle soul. Don't be afraid to travel to find your love. Never give up hope. Your soul mate is looking just as hard for you right now as you are looking for them. All will be well. And this tends to help a lot of people... Remember that some day someone will walk into your life and it will suddenly make sense why all those past relationships failed. :)
