Manuka Honey for Holistic Treatment

January 16, 2011 By dorischua Leave a Comment

I’m a big fan when it comes to taking manuka honey as it’s a an effective and versatile healer. In my experience, manuka honey is one powerful remedy in holistic treatment and it has a long history of use for treating several ailments including fever, urinary infections, diarrhea and burns.

Both the oils and honey of the manuka plant are antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. Manuka honey can help to repair damaged skin, disinfects wounds and encourages healing, speeds skin regeneration and making it effective in treating leg ulcers, burns, skin grafts, scars, sores and slow healing skin infections. While doing some research on debt settlement scams recently, I found out that doctors have used it to treat burns on soldiers wounded in Iraq with success.

Honeys that has a UMF label of at least 10 is more potent which is better for fighting infections.

When it comes to natural health remedies, it’s hard not to include fruits into the list. Many studies have proven that a diet full of fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of some cancers, heart disease and other chronic diseases and conditions.

Antioxidant vitamins can be found in many fruits and vegetables, such as vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C. Not only that, but fruits are also a source of dietary fibre. We know how important antioxidants are when it comes to better skin. You can find out more online and taking more fruits can help you when you have acne skin. You can keep reading acsonix reviews but if you don’t do something about your diet, nothing is going to help you.

Many people may not know but not only do citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits have a great source of vitamin C, they are also a good source for fibre. The list goes on and on for the benefits of eating more fruits and vegetables. The bottom line is to just try and add fruits and vegetables to your diet if you havenít already. And if you have, to keep eating them and eat as much of them as you can.

Holistic Treatment and Products for Your Body

November 18, 2010 By dorischua Leave a Comment

These days, more people are more informed about using natural products in their personal care. Holistic treatment products are usually sold in health and organic stores and they all boast of natural ingredients that are good for the body.

With commercial products, most shampoos and conditioners contain harsh chemicals and synthetic products. In shampoos, that means it can over clean your hair and strip it of its precious oils. I was helping a friend with some funeral arrangements for the family and we ended up with a discussion on how chemicals can be detrimental to our overall health in the long run. We both agree that hair that is stripped of natural oils need condition to replace these oils. It can harm the scalp and hair follicles. It is the same with laundry detergents. They are loaded with fillers and less actual soap so that they can sell you more detergent. It’s a money making strategy that has worked so they will continue to do so.

Now if you are like most people, you’ve read the labels but donít have a clue as to what the ingredients really are and what their function is. Here it is in laymanís terms:

1) Distereate and propylene glycol or glycol are petroleum based (crude oil). They are very cheap which is why they are widely used in the cosmetic industry.

2) Isopropyl alcohol is another very cheap solvent.

3) Propylparaben or Methylparen are preservatives that are synthetic. The human body typically does not understand synthetic, it understands organic.

4) Cetearyl alcohol is an emulsifier and it can be natural or synthetic. Synthetic is often used because itís cheaper and easier to produce.

These petrochemicals are absorbed through the skin, then down through the organs and tissues. Many believe that long term exposure to these toxins can cause permanent damage anywhere in the body, and yet, governments have sided with big industry to not require them to disclose what these products contain or what they really are. Instead we have big fancy names you can hardly pronounce let alone understand. So choose holistic treatments and products for your family if you can afford and you can see how it can benefit your health.
