5 Acne Treatments That Really Work

David Lam — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 10:59:29 +0000

by David Lam

People who have acne would give anything to get rid of it so acne treatment products are very popular. However how would you determine which acne products work and what is the difference between them all? The truth is that the difference is mainly packaging and marketing strategy to promote a particular product. As majority of acne medications have similar ingredients, we have list 5 acne treatments that really work.

DDF BP Gel that includes Tea Tree Oil

DDF BP Gel contains 5 percent benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide works well to treat acne and 5 percent is a mild but effective concentration. This acne product also contains tea tree oil which is generally beneficial for your skin and it fights acne as well. It has antibacterial properties that help prevent acne breakouts. Most people who use this acne treatment notice that their skin feels better after a week of applying the cream. It is effective to cure acne and it doesn’t dry your skin out.

Acne Solutions Emergency Gel Lotion by Clinique

This acne product has many positive customer reviews and it really helps to fight acne that keeps reappearing. It unclogs pores filled with bacteria and controls oil production on your skin. You will see reduced redness and inflammation in just a few days. Clinique Acne Solutions is a strong cream with high concentration of benzoyl peroxide however it is more expensive than other acne treatment products.

Persa Gel by Johnson and Johnson

Persa Gel works very effectively to cure present acne spots and to prevent feature breakouts of blackheads and whiteheads. This acne product also contains benzoyl peroxide and the concentration of it is 10 percent. This is the highest concentration approved for non prescription acne medicine and it is water based, so it effective in all skin types.

Oxy 10 Balance Emergency Spot Treatment

This is a very strong acne treatment that will cure the worst of acne. However, use it with care; it only should be used to cure existing acne, not as a preventive method. It also might irritate sensitive skin, so if you applied Oxy 10 and your skin feels irritated, this acne product is not for you.

Natural Herbal Acne Treatments

You would be surprised but you can make some effective natural acne treatments at home. One effective treatment is a mix of banana, avocado and vitamin E ointment. You can buy vitamin E concentrated cream in a chemist or order it online. To make the cream take half a tea spoon of vitamin E ointment, one small avocado and half a banana and blend them in a blender. Apply this acne remedy to your face and keep for several minutes.

Natural acne remedies work very well for certain people. The only disadvantage is that you cannot keep them like you would do with a bought cream. For instance banana and avocado cream can stay in your fridge for a day, but not much longer.

5 Ideas to Help You Get Rid of Bad Breath and Abolish Halitosis

Morgan Mathers — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 14:38:29 +0000

by Morgan Mathers

At one time or another everyone must deal with having some bad breath, medically known as halitosis. This can leave us feeling very uneasy around other people. Many of us however, have the misconception that this foul odor is caused by our stomach when in fact is it due to our mouth, tonsils and throat.

Once this stinking odor sets in, it can be hard to remove. The bacteria that causes the odor needs very little to start spreading it stench. So, in order to get rid of bad breath we simply need to carry out some daily tasks.

The first task you should carry out is to stop eating the foods that can cause bad breath. As weird as it may sound, there are foods that turn into sulfur which stinks like rotten eggs once they hit the stomach. In order to avoid this putrid smell you should try and avoid eating milk, onions, alcohol, cheese, garlic, coffee, milk, and fish.

The second technique to fighting bad breath is to watch how many times you brush and floss your teeth. If you do not brush your teeth, the bacteria will start building up and cause you to develop halitosis or even gingivitis. To prevent this from happening and to help cure gingivitis, you should try to brush and floss after every meal.

The third thing you need to do is to scrape your tongue. You need to make sure you scrape the back of your tongue as far back as possible because this is where most of the foul smelling bacteria live. You can simply use your toothbrush or you can purchase an inexpensive tongue scraper.

The fourth thing you need to do is to make sure you rinse your mouth with mouthwash. Simply swish the rinse in your mouth making sure it covers all of your teeth and gums. When rinsing, make sure you also gargle with your head back so it also hits the back of your mouth and kills the germs there as well. This is also an effective tool to use as a gum disease treatment as it kills the germs that your toothbrush and floss can not reach.

The fifth task you should carry out is to make sure that your mouth never becomes dry. When your mouth is dry the bacteria will thrive. The opposite is also true that when your mouth is moist, your saliva will kill the bacteria. Your saliva also reduces the effect of the acids that are in your stomach, washes the bad plaque away from your teeth and it prevents tooth decay. Simply carry a water bottle with you so you can drink it throughout the day.

There is no reason to constantly hide in shame due to having bad breath. You can simply apply these techniques to your daily schedule to get rid of bad breath. Just remember to avoid the foods that cause you to smell like rotten eggs and to take care of your mouth appropriately.

7 Dry Skin Causes And Their Treatments.

Peter Clark — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 19:09:46 +0000

by Peter Albertonach

Dry skin can be extremely annoying. What causes dry skin and what can you do about it? Here’s 8 dry skin causes and suggested dry skin treatments.

There’s many factors that can cause dry skin, and some are much more common than others.

And you’d be very surprised at how common dry skin is, especially as we grow older, and so there are so many people searching for dry skin treatments. Some dry skin conditions are easy to treat, some not so easy.

And if you have dry skin were sure you know just how irritating it can be. Maybe your skin is all dull and flaky, red or even painful. And that itching.

Normal skin has it’s own layer of naturally occurring oils. These are produced by the skin and help protect our skin. But when this layer of protective oils is removed for one reason or another it causes the symptoms known as dry skin.

So lets look at some dry skin causes. Theres some that are easy to treat, and some not so easy.

1. Long hot baths. Now I know you love that bath as hot as you can get it and love to soak for hours if you can. But that takes away those natural skin oils and dries your skin. A shower is better than a bath, shorter and not as hot.

2. Skin care products and cosmetics. Is this a surprise to you? Is this the first time you’ve heard that many big brand name skin care products and cosmetics actually have ingredients in them that are dangerous to your skin?

There are many ingredients found in big name products that actually dry your skin. Mineral oil is an example. It is a petrochemical product used in skin care products because it is cheap and it actually dries and damages your skin.

High quality natural skin care products are way better for your skin, won’t damage it and will overcome dry skin conditions more easily.

3. Exposure to the sun. Sunburn is very damaging to the skin. It dries it out and can cause skin cancer. Avoid sunburn like the plague.

4. Weather. You can get dry skin in places with cold dry winters. But if it is more humid in summer it may go away. What should you do? Use a high quality natural skin care product formulated to retain skin moisture and renew skin moisture.

5. Soaps and detergents. These can dry your skin, particularly modern big name soaps and shampoos. These also contain ingredients that can be damaging to your skin. Avoid soaps that lather a lot and leave your skin feeling squeaky clean. Avoid deodorizing soaps and soaps with anti bacterial ingredients. Use natural soaps with no fragrances or deodorizing and keep changing them till you find the right one for you.

6. Medical conditions like psoriasis, and drugs. There is a range of different medical conditions that can cause dry skin. For conditions like psoriasis and eczema consult your doctor, and be aware as well that there are some drugs that can also cause dry skin conditions.

7. Believe it or not itchy clothing can cause dry skin. So if your clothing itches junk it.

There’s 7 causes of dry skin. But what do you do about it? Well for medical conditions as I’ve said, see a doctor or dermatologist. But often this isn’t necessary.

I have already suggested some dry skin treatments that will work for some. Keep showers shorter and cooler, use more natural soaps and shampoos, try soaps out until you find a good one for you. And be aware of choosing natural alternatives to any product that you put on your skin. They are often cheaper and safer.

And finally you should consider using high quality natural skin care products. Natural skin care products don’t contain the dangerous ingredients that the big name skin care products contain. Rather they contain natural ingredients that moisturize very successfully, like Babassu oil from the nut of the Babassu tree, and avocado oil.

Surprising though it sounds, the very best natural skin care products, as well as working better and being safer than the big brand skin care products, and very cost competitive. That’s because the company that makes them doesn’t spend big on TV advertising then factor that into the price of the product.

There’s 7 dry skin causes for you to consider. Combine some or all of the treatments I’ve mentioned here and you should be well on your way to relieving that dry skin that is so bedevilling you.

A Beginner’s Guide to Aromatherapy and Essential Oils

Julie Goodman — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:09:53 +0000

by Sarah Stevens

Beginning aromatherapy can be a little discouraging. There’s SO many oils to choose from, with an incredible array of effects, and an equally incredible array of safety warnings. Where is one to start? Well, like learning anything new, the important thing is to actually get started – buy a few bottles of inexpensive, yet broadly appealing and effective oils and give them a try. It’s really more simple than you might think to use essential oils for things like stress reduction and minor wound healing. At the same time, you’ll be venturing into an entire branch of natural medicine, one in which European doctors even specialize in for addressing a wide variety of ailments. There are many, many excellent books available to advance your knowledge; just remember that essential oils are potent medicines: start slowly, use essential oils that are considered safe in all applications, and keep learning to expand your area of expertise.

Aromatherapy really has a bad name in North America. Kinda soft and fuzzy, and maybe a little too ‘new age’ for many folks. But essential oils share many traits with other natural medicines; they’re really concentrated plant extracts that just happen to smell exceptionally good. ‘Volatile-Plant-Extract-Therapy’ would be a much more appropriate name. ‘Volatile’ simply means ‘easily evaporated’ – in this sense, essential oils are more like alcohol than oil. But unlike alcohol, essential oils are made up of very complex molecules that have a great breadth of healing properties. These properties vary greatly depending on the plant from which the oil was extracted. Many oils are known potent antibacterials, antivirals, anti-inflammates, and stimulate wound healing. Of course, their aroma’s DO have profound effects as well; laboratory studies have conclusively shown this in clinical settings. Inhalation is the simplest method of using essential oils, and is an excellent place to start with aromatherapy.

When inhaled, essential oils effect our limbic system, the seat of the brain’s emotional centers. Many oils have been found to sharpen concentration, reduce tension and anxiety, and even reduce depression. Blends can be made for very specific psychological and emotional needs. How can we reap these magnificent benefits? There are a few simple, cost-effective ways to prepare essential oils for inhalation and experience these wonderful effects: the ‘handkerchief method’, making your own ’smelling salts’, and making your own aromatherapy ‘mister’. More advanced users will want to use a cold-air nebulizing diffuser that disperses a fine mist of essential oil throughout your environment. With a little research, you’ll be able to find the right oil or oil combination to suit your needs.

Simple inhalation is very straightforward – for example, put a part or two of an oil or blend on a tissue and inhale (careful with some oils though – peppermint, for example, can burn the sensitive skin around your nostrils if put in direct contact). You can even leave the tissue, handkerchief, or piece of cloth in a room or your workspace and the oil will continue to evaporate and have its effects. Making your own ’smelling salts’ is similar, and your preparation will last a while longer. To make the salts, fill a small vial with natural sea salt and part essential oils into the salt. The amount of oil is not too critical – enough that there is detectable aroma, and not so much that the salt gets completely wet. Just unscrew the cap and inhale from the bottle whenever you need a lift, or, like the handkerchief, leave the vial open in your space, letting the aroma slowly fill the area. A ‘mister’ can be used infuse a room with aroma – just add essential oils to water in a small spray bottle (20 parts per 2 cups of water is a good starting point), shake before each use and spray. When you’re ready for a greater impact from the aromatic use of oils, find a quality cold-air nebulizing diffuser. These units make fine mist of oil, creating a significant concentration in your environment, and can have valuable health benefits beyond stimulating the smell sense – they can purify the air in your home or office, and can help with many infectious illnesses when used as directed by a health practitioner.

Here are a few easy recipes for the inhalation method: For uplifting the mood and brightening the mind – 4 parts of Rosemary, 3 parts of Lavender, 2 parts of Lemon and 1 part of Peppermint, OR 3 parts Clary Sage, 2 parts Bergamot and 1 part Sweet Orange. For calming anxiety – equal parts of Roman Chamomile, Bergamot and Orange, OR 3 parts Lavender, 2 parts Neroli and 1 part Bergamot. For creating a harmonious atmosphere – 3 parts Jasmine, 1 part Ylang Ylang and 1 part Sandalwood, OR equal parts Geranium, Patchouli and Bergamot. For simply bringing calm or inducing sound sleep, pure Lavender oil by itself may be perfect. These and other blends can make wonderful natural perfumes when diluted to 15% in Jojoba oil; Rose and Jasmine oils can be used this way by themselves.

Aromatherapy massage and topical application – Ideally, this is done with a partner, but self-massage will work as well. Creating your own massage oil is a straightforward process – just dilute 10 – 20 drops of essential oil (single or blended) per ounce of carrier oil. There are a variety of carrier oils available; Sweet Almond is a great all-around oil and is recommended for general aromatherapy massage. As for the massage, itself, any technique will do – let your intuition be your guide. The blends listed above will work effectively as massage oils as well, when diluted in a carrier, though here are a few more fun recipes: For a sensual massage, per ounce of carrier oil, add – 8 drops Sandalwood, 6 drops Rose, 4 drops Lavender and 2 drops Ylang Ylang. For opening the heart, try 4 drops Spikenard, 4 drops Lavender and 2 drops of Rose. Finally, for sheer relaxation, use 6 drops Lavender, 4 drops Neroli and 2 drops Bergamot. Note that topical application of citrus oils (Orange, Bergamot, Tangerine, Lemon, Lime, etc.) should be avoided on skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight in the following few days – these oils are known to be photo-sensitizing, and can make the skin more susceptible to burning by UV rays. The feet are excellent receivers of essential oil energy; this is the basis of reflexology. Many oils that can irritate sensitive skin elsewhere can be applied ‘neat’ (undiluted) to the bottoms of the feet; the tops of the feet are more sensitive, though this area will also have significant energetic results.

Don’t be afraid to create your own blends! You will certainly find particular oils that you enjoy – and aromatherapy is like that. It is the oils you find most enjoyable that are likely those that are most effective for you. An important starting note is to change the ratios of oils you are blending very slowly. Start with one part of each oil in a small vial, mixing them and allowing a few minutes for them to blend before adding more oil 1 part at a time. In general, citrus oils (Orange, Bergamot, Tangerine, Lemon, Lime) tend to bring alertness while calming at the same time. Herb oils (Peppermint, Rosemary and Basil) tend to be invigorating, while floral oils tend to be relaxing (Lavender, Chamomile, Jasmine, Neroli). This is only a guideline – many oils have complex properties and will affect individuals differently – use your nose as a guide.

Medical aromatherapy, the use of essential oils to treat specific medical conditions, requires a bit more knowledge in many cases. There are a few excellent examples of employing oils for common needs: Lavender works very well for minor burns; it is anti-inflammatory and helps the skin regenerate. Blended half and half with Tea Tree, it can be used in place of other antibacterial agents on small cuts and scrapes. Helichrysum italicum oil is a remarkable healer of bruises and sports injuries; it can be used undiluted or at a 5-10% dilution in Hazelnut oil. Melissa oil is documented as an excellent treatment for the herpes virus. For support for common colds, inhale equal parts Lavender, Rosemary and Eucalyptus. For support in clearing chest and sinus conditions, use Lavender, Tea Tree and Eucalyptus. These blends can be added to a carrier oil and rubbed into the chest, inhaled from a steaming bowl of water (with the eyes closed!) or used in a diffuser. The greatest promise for medical essential oil use lies in their profound ability to eradicate bacteria and viruses – this is where the need of an experienced professional arises, however. As with any medication, matching the correct oil and it’s application with the illness is critical, otherwise the oil may have no effect, and the patient may not heal. When done properly, however, remarkable results have been achieved.

A Proper Diagnosis of Dyslexia

Bartt Iccles — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:35:14 +0000

by Bart Icles

Before we get down to the business of determining the dyslexia diagnosis, it is important to know the nature of the condition first. Dyslexia is actually a learning disability wherein the afflicted patient would have difficulty when it comes to spelling, writing, and reading. A popular misconception here is that dyslexia is a mental illness, but this is not the case at all. There are actually a lot of dyslexics that are quite intelligent and have forged extremely successful careers. Albert Einstein is one of the smartest dyslexics the world has ever known. In tinsel town, another famous dyslexic is actually Tom Cruise.

Years ago, coming up with an appropriate dyslexia diagnosis was not really possible. This is because people back then were not really aware about this disability. In fact, it was only just recently that more information about the condition has been obtained. This is quite an unfortunate fact because a lot of dyslexics back then had to suffer unnecessarily. A lot of dyslexics back then had to suffer years and years of embarrassment and humiliation, and this took quite a toll on their confidence and esteem. Fortunately, it is never too late for the condition to be diagnosed by the means of screening and diagnostic testing.

The first ever dyslexia diagnosis was given out within just the last ten years. This was the time when the condition was even given a name. Screenings and tests are now used to diagnose the condition. What actually happens here is that the patients are assisted in identifying the symptoms that they are suffering, the severity of the symptoms, and ultimately, the treatment that they need. Dyslexics no longer have to suffer the symptoms on their own because the proper diagnosis is at hand, and readily available treatment is here as well.

If you suspect that you have a family member who just might be suffering from the condition, then do not wait too long to obtain the appropriate dyslexia diagnosis. As soon as you notice symptoms of the condition, such as difficulties in spelling, writing, reading, counting numbers, sequencing items, transferring information, getting and following instructions, as well as confusion in terms of direction when it comes to letters that can be reversed. Examples of these letters would be b and d. The manifestation of any of these symptoms should warrant an evaluation be done right away.

Proper treatment of the condition is indeed possible ” good news to all dyslexics all over the world.

A Simple Way Keep Allergic Asthma Manifestations Away

Carrie Woodhouse — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:35:04 +0000

by Carrie Woodhouse

Allergic asthma usually starts as a simple allergy. Then it evolves, the symptoms worsen, especially the respiratory ones, until one day you find yourself in difficulty to breathe. This is not a joke, but a serious disease, so you should consider it as such and go for a medical check as soon as possible.

Frequent exposure to allergens can worsen your symptoms significantly, so whenever possible, you should not get in contact with such allergens. Indeed, it is not possible to live under a glass bell, but you can be a bit more careful than healthy people.

An efficient prevention requires that you know precisely what are the allergens your body’s immune system reacts to. There are standard tests such as the Rast and the Eliza, which indicate accurately enough the most active allergens for your situation. Tests are not painful and they are rather cheap. Check with your doctor and maybe he’ll tell you more about that.

Spring and fall are two seasons which are dangerous for allergic persons, especially if they have airborne allergies. Pollens are everywhere in these times of year, so sufferers should try to stay indoors as much as they can. If this is not possible, at least avoid getting out in the second part of the day.

Foods can give severe allergy manifestations, from asthma attacks to massive swelling and even anaphylaxis. A tiny fragment of peanut, for example, can kill an adult person within a few minutes. Paramedics are very important, as they can save your life if they act very fast after the incident.

People who are allergic to pet dander should be very careful with their pets. Do not groom your pet by yourself. Ask another member of your family to take care of the pet’s hygiene for you. Give up carpets in your house and vacuum very often. Steam cleaning can be highly beneficial as well.

Acai Berry Reverses Brain Loss According to Scientific Studies

Dr. Jerimiah Crossderd — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:44:01 +0000

by Dr. Jerimiah Crossderd

A recent study showed that elderly lab rats had a increase in brain function when they ate a diet loaded with a compound found in acai berry- Pterostilbene was found to reverse brain loss and other aging factors.

Pterostilbene changed specific harmful aliments that create aging on brain functions and behavioral patterns.

The tests were separated into two sections to determine if pterostilbene would be effective in reversing the age of elderly rats.

The first section of the study dealt with researchers looking at seven different types of compounds where they determined that pterostilbene was the most effective in preventing oxidative stress on the cells.

additionally, they began to prepare a diet to feed the mature rats that had the following criteria: a controlled diet that would comp[rise of either a small dose or large dose of pterostilbene.

The results were an reverse in cognative skills and an increase in memory in the rats that had high doses of pterostilbene.

The research is the latest in a series of animal tests that has been looking into the association with nutrition and the reasons in the decline of brain functions.

Studies also show that other berries possess this compound-further studies will show their effectiveness.

The government has no standards on dietary supplement or how they should be taken-Like Vitamin C, acai berry should be taken in small amounts.

This study can be found in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
