Painful Periods?
Pycnogenol has been shown to be very useful for painful periods. It is a natural plant extract from the bark of the maritime pine tree which grows exclusively along the coast of southwest France in Les Landes de Gascogne. Just 30-50mg per day is all that is needed; and it doesn’t seem to take too long before it starts to work.
Some women have felt relief in time for their first period, just three weeks after beginning to take it. Reach for natural beauty remedies for natural problems.
Back Pain or Back Problems?
Many people with back problems do not like the idea of a being pulled around or crunched by a chiropractor. If you’re a back pain sufferer, why not try a McTimoney chiropractor instead? McTimoney Chiropractors use a very gentle form of chiropractics (no pushing, pulling or crunching), which is surprisingly effective.
Alternatively, Bowen Therapy is a natural beauty remedy that may help. Bowen is another very gentle type of manipulation producing excellent results.
Effects of Chocolate and Red Wine.
Are the chemical reactions of chocolate and red wine beneficial to your body? Enjoyable as they are, both chocolate and red wine contain chemicals which affect the blood flow to your brain and also cause inflammation.
Your body can react to the proteins in chocolate and red wine and this reaction can cause pain. Chocolate contains an amphetamine-like chemical called PEA (phenylethylamine); could this by why it is so addictive?
And the natural flavanoids from the seeds and skins of grapes from which wine is made contain sulphites, which can contribute to migraines.
Want to get rid of warts?
One of our favorite beauty remedies is lemon oil. A few drops of lemon oil twice a day directly on the wart will soon see it reduce in size. For maximum effect, take Thuja homeopathic remedy of 6c twice daily, letting the tablet dissolve on the tongue. This is best taken away from food, drink and toothpaste (20 minutes either side) for it to work properly.
Use until wart disappears. (Note: If you are lactose intolerant, most off the shelf homeopathic remedies do contain lactose. A homeopath should be able to supply a non-lactose pill as an alternative.)
Suffer from cold sores?
There’s nothing more upsetting than a cold sore developing when you’re about to go somewhere special. Use this natural beauty tip at the first tingling feeling, try a tincture of Propolis directly onto the affected area. Propolis is a resinous mixture that honey bees collect from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources.
If the cold sore has already set in, the amino acid L-lysine could help. Take one 500mg capsule six times daily and 1,000mg of Vitamin C twice daily until the cold sore disappears.
