Douching with anything is unsafe.

Douching is very bad for vaginal health because it effects vaginal pH which in turn effects vaginal flora, it flushes away discharge causing drying and damage to vaginal walls, and it can force harmful bacteria further-up into the vagina – douching thus risks infection, higher risk of STD’s and PID.

Please don’t use douching, use a real treatment for yeast – either store-bought yeast infection treatments or there are home methods such as plain pro-biotic yoghurt (freeze in ice cube trays and insert into the vagina for ease and to avoid mess), garlic (single clove peeled and inserted), tea tree oil diluted in water to wash over vulva – to name a few methods.

Sunshine

I’m a hairdresser, and NO, peroxide and lemon juice will not lighten your hair, unless, you pour it on and sit in the sun all day. Go ahead, you have nothing to lose, pour it on, nothing will happen.

There’s a great product at Sally Beauty supply called Luminize. You put it on your hair for 5 minutes and it gives you the appearance of being in the sun all day.

Since it only goes on for 5 minutes, it is not damaging, at all. It’s not bleach. You do mix it with a Luminize developer, but again, this is not bleach and it is not going to damage your hair anymore than if you sat in the sun all day.

Visit your Sally store and ask the sales rep to point out Clairol Professional’s Luminize. I’d buy the kit, as it comes with everything you need.

Simply mix it with the Luminize developer, lather it in your hair like shampoo, wait 5 – 10 minutes and shampoo it out. Condition, and you’ll have 1 – 2 levels of lift.

answers:

Mostly it is brewed as a tea to aid in digestion or sooth a colicky baby. There are marinades for fish and sauces that it works well in but it should be brewed and the leaves and branches discarded as they are hard on the pallet and digestion. My suggestion is to use it as you might green tea – make Ice cream, marinate talapia (tea, oil, cumin, salt and pepper) then grill or use the tea to make a sweet and savory sauce for chicken (tea, starch, dried cilantro and red pepper) pour over grilled or baked chicken for a pleasant and refreshing sauce. I hope you enjoy this and it gets your creative juices on the move.

answers:

Hi,
Those are not uncommon ingredients in hot spot relief sprays for dogs, but in the treatments for cats, the Tea Tree Oil is not included. I’m unsure about the toxicity of melaleuca oil, but since all the hot spot treatments for dogs I researched said clearly “Not for use on Cats”, I’m sure there is a reason.

Probably best to heed that advice in spite of what someone at the pet store may have said. Take it back and get something made for felines. They are such delicate creatures and very sensitive to essential oils, so it’s best not to take chances.

UPDATE – I did some research and I just found an article on Tea Tree being toxic to animals as well as some other oils that are being promoted as flea killers, skin soothers, etc. For pets. I am including a reference to that page below, as well as one for Corti-Care for cats, which is definitely ok for cats.

One last thing – Check with your vet, there may be an inexpensive treatment in pill form to help your cat with flea bite allergy.l I know there was a few years back when a friend of mine needed it.
Good luck with your kitty! Glad you asked, I will post this on my site too.

A navel piercing goes through quite a lot more skin then the nose or the ears. It could maybe be the nickel, but it could also be irritation to your clothes rubbing against it.

And maybe. The sea salt is the safest and cleanest. The tea might cause inflamation or infection

answers:

Chamomile and Spearmint both help to expel gas. There is a popular misconception that herbs that help with gas problems are supposed to stop it, when in fact they help to expel it, leading to an increase in either farting or belching.

It does not sound like an allergic reaction at all, nor does it seem likely that 1 week’s worth of problems could be attributed to these herbs.

It sounds like something else was going on with her that just started around the same time. When I came down with gastroenteritis about a month ago, I initially thought it was food poisoning because I had just eaten sushi 6 hours before I started to get sick, but that ended up being just a coincidence.

In the almost 20 years I have been a Herbalist, I have never come across a single person with a ragweed allergy that has had a problem with chamomile, nor have I known a herbalist that has known someone that has happened to. That correlation has been so wildly blown out of proportion, and does not seem at all likely in your mother’s case.

If she has some kind of allergy to Chamomile, it would have affected her the last time she used it, even if it was only applied externally to her eyes.

There is nothing wrong with that combination, nor was it an overdose. I believe that brand of tea is organic, but the tea bags have some kind of glue that seals them shut that she may have had a reaction to. Where did the Spearmint come from? Maybe it was tainted with pesticides?

answers:

If you can find it, get Taylors of Harrogate. It’s organic and quite delicious. You can buy it online if you can’t find it locally. It’s my favorite Chamomile and is not expensive.

If you just want to try some Chamomile, go to any grocery store and get some Stash brand. They’re pretty good. I’m just picky and like my froo froo organic tea.

answers:

Chamomile is wonderful. It will make you sleepy, when you can’t sleep, it will get rid of water weight gain, thus making you pee your brains out, It is very calming, I usually take a double tea bag of it, in 10 oz of water before I go to the doctors, due to white coat hypertension. It has a sweet taste, It’s great for stomach problems, cramps, gas pains, bloating, etc. It’s color is golden, it smells like a sweet flower, You can buy it anywhere in any grocery store in the form of a teabag.
Any brand is fine. “Celestial Seasonings” “Bonamo” “Lipton”, it all tastes the same.

Lavendar tea is my favorite to help me sleep. Chamomile is also supposed to help, but I don’t really like the taste of it.

If you are looking for a tea that will soothe you before bedtime, make sure it does not contain caffeine. Stick with herbal/herbal infusion teas. Any brand will do. I would highly recommend Celestial or Harney & Sons.

Good luck!

answers:

If you are not too sure about the Celestial Seasonings Blueberry tea… Try it iced. It is awesome! (I am referring to “Blueberry Breeze Green Tea”)
Stash, and Tazo also make some great varieties of tea.

answers:

If it has black tea leaves in it (maybe listed as “camellia sinensis,” or “black tea” or just tea in the ingredients, and it doesn’t say caffeine-free, then it DOES have caffeine. If it’s just chamomile, then you’re good.

People who buy ‘organic’ by default are not very price conscious . Their priorities are more focused on the health benefit rather than the price. The promotion has to be focused more on the benefits of eating organic.

First off, if you’re to be really successful, you have to get the word “diet” out of your vocabulary and replace it with the word “life-style change.” Because…if you want to lose the weight and then keep it off (so you don’t do the yo-yo stuff, which is bad for your body) you must be dedicated to changing how you eat, how much you eat, when you eat, etc.

Start your day off with a good, hearty breakfast even if you don’t like breakfast. It should include toast (lightly buttered if you like, and a dab of jam/jelly if you like), a poached egg or two, a glass of dark juice (the lighter juices don’t have the nutrition that’s best for you. Then, about two hours later, have a snack of a whole-wheat cracker and a nutritious cheese that you enjoy. Water. Two hours later have a healthy lunch of homemade soup with crackers (no butter on them) and something like applesauce to give you another fruit. Water. Then have another of those cracker/cheese snacks about two hours after that. Water.

If you’re like me and you get a tad hungry just before bedtime, have more water (as that makes you feel as if you’re full, and top that off with a small piece of fruit and perhaps some more wheat crackers and cheese. Brush your teeth, read yourself to sleep and start all over in the AM.

To finish off your meals, have a lighter supper/dinner with about 2-3 ounces of steamed meat or fish, vegetables (again steamed) and a salad with something like vinegar/oil dressing. Again have a light fruit to pull it all together. Have water with your meal.

answers:

Losing weight is dependent on calories. If you burn around 600 at the gym, and your intake is around 1500 – 2000 it should work. I wouldn’t work out for more than an hour a day though.

answers:

You said, you’re going to exercise. You should already be exercising. Don’t plan on doing it. DO IT!!

To lose 40 pounds by summer, you must take your weight loss very seriously. NO CHEATING. And you will be successful. DO NOT purchase anything that promises you will lose weight like magic shakes and pills. You must exercise 3- 4 times a week EVERY WEEK for at least 30 minutes. Everyone should exercise regularly even if they don’t want to lose weight.

Things that should never be in your house;

Mayonnaise

Sweets like candy, pastries, baked goods.

Read the labels and ingredients on food packages- avoid anything that says enriched or hydrogenated on it.

Anything deep fried.

I suggest if you have anything like the above in your kitchen, throw it out.

Eating veggies and fruits and things is all good, but if you don’t avoid the vending machine at work, or McDonalds down the street, it will never work. Losing weight and keeping it off requires a lifestyle change that you must be willing to make. You are what you eat. If you eat crap, you will look and feel like crap.

answers:

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet and fitness calculator. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

Here are two articles on how to break through a weight loss plateau:

http://www.webmd.com/content/article/86/99147.htm

http://www.webmd.com/content/pages/18/102117.htm

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier.

I didn’t know what was wrong with me, then I stumbled upon his radio show and began using his products along with his advice and a naturopath, I feel so alive now. Just like his company slogan says “Nutrition that really works”, it does! Its the real deal. I wasted 5 years trying everything else from health stores and they don’t compare at all.

Also another brand for body care is Burt’s bees which is mostly natural and good quality.

If you are serious about being organic then inexpensive is not the best. Alot of companies cheat and sell stuff not much better than “normal” food or products.

Its silly and ironic that we spend more money on our cars or other hobbies than we do on our bodies. Yeah our stuff looks great but we look and feel like crap. When I first started being really committed to organic people would always criticize by saying, “Whats the point you’re gonna die anyways, so live it up!” or “You’re gonna probably get hit by a bus so eat whatever”.

I developed a new way of thinking and told them that, “Yes I’ll die, but I’m gonna feel great most of my life, rather than, feel like crap and die a long miserable death because I neglected my body and ate trash”.

So I encourage you to stay on your organic journey and live a long joyous life.

I also shop at Whole Foods and other natural-type food stores, and get things like nuts and seeds from the bulk food section.

*edit*
Wow! To say that all bird seed is organic is really irresponsible. To be certified organic, several rules must be strictly followed. There are no chemical pesticides or herbicides used. Period. Fertilizer is composted rather than used “fresh.” That means that the animal manure is put in a compost heap, which then “cooks” out the bacteria and fungi. With uncomposted manure, you run the risk of E. Coli. And the land/soil you plant in must not have had certain other plants grown, nor have had a history of conventional (chemical) farming.

It’s good that you buy organic, because chemicals, bacteria and fungi can affect bird health negatively much easier than human health. Also, much of the pet food on the market, bird seed included, is not even human-grade. That means it wouldn’t pass USDA inspection for humans to eat. I don’t know about you, but if it’s not good enough for me, it’s not good enough for my animals.
