noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 20 Feb 2022 19:36:00 +0000

Kalonji seeds, also known as black cumin seeds, black seeds or Nigella sativa comes from a flowering plant from southern parts of Europe, North Africa and South West Asia. But why am I mentioning this on a natural health site. This small but very potent seed is used in natural medicine and may just be one of natures best kept secrets. Have doubts? Allow me to explain why and how it is good for natural health.

These are just some of the many benefits of kalonji seeds. But as with everything there is a few things to know. Never take more than five kaloni seeds a day as it increases body temperature. Taking too many may cause constipation. So please be mindful of that. Remember the golden rule too much of something may turn into a disaster. So please do not overdo it. If you are suffering from diabetes take note it can affect your blood glucose levels so it is considered wise to start with only one seed if needed. The same apply to people that suffer from high blood pressure as it is known that Kalonji seeds may affect blood pressure levels. So please don't start with five seeds. Start with one and after a week you can up the dosage to 2 and continue with that or as time progress you can later increase if needed. And please keep track of your condition.

How to use
Now there is a few ways to use kalonji seeds. But allow me to start by saying that kalonji seeds become much more effective when combined with honey and lemon juice. But then some consider garlic combined with Kalonji seeds just as effective when combined.
For me personally it is part of my daily routine. Every morning I pour boiling hot water in a cup. Add the seeds, teaspoon honey and tablespoon lemon juice. But that is what I personally prefer.
Alternatively you can take seeds, pour very small amount (just enough to cover the seeds) lemon juice over it. Place in a warm space with direct sunlight. Leave till all the liquid is absorbed (next day) and drink it.
Then as many will be able to confirm it can be used in cooking.
Or take kalonji seeds. Follow that up with a small amount of honey. But it is advised to do this on an empty stomach in the morning at least half an hour before coffee tea or breakfast.
Now this post I credit to someone very close to my heart as the person pointed me in the direction of this very potent and natural product for a healthy lifestyle. So the next time you think of natural products for your health. Don't forget to add Kalonji seeds to your list. You will see and feel an improvement in your life.

Balanced diet.

Getting the right nutrients is essential for your body. So consider the wise choices when planning meals. Lots of fruits and vegetables should be part of your diet.

Smoking.

Smoking isn't good for your skin. Or your health.

Sunshine.

As much as we all need vitamin D. Do remember that the sun's Ultraviolet rays are harmful for your skin. It will cause premature ageing. And in the process wrinkles too.

Stress.

It is vital to learn to control stress. Do remember that each time you frown you deepening the creases and as your body doesn't create collagen as it used to. It takes longer to recover and repair. One person said open your eyes and stop frowning. Not sure about that. But if it works for you. Then do that.

Sp best to avoid getting wrinkles at all. But if you landed on this site because you have wrinkles. Then know there is safe natural ways to get rid of forehead wrinkles

Retinol.

One of the biggest products that combats wrinkles. As it removes the top layer of skin and leaves a fresher younger revealing skin. Within a short time. You should notice an improvement. So if you are considering a facial cream. Ask yourself this. Does it contain retinol?

Other ways that you can follow.

Mix honey yogurt lemon juice and the contents of a vitamin E capsule. Apply on freshly cleansed face. Leave it on for ten minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water. Apply your facial cream.

Or you can apply a few drops coconut oil/sweet almond oil on the wrinkled areas every night before bed.

Then there is this highly regarded home remedy.

Gram flour(chickpea flour) 1 and half teaspoon

Turmeric powder. It needs to be less than half a teaspoon

Raw milk. Just enough to make a nice paste.

Mix the ingredients. Apply on freshly cleansed face. Leave it on for 30 minutes. Rinse your face with lukewarm water.

If you don't have gram flour (chickpea flour) You can make your own following these steps.

Making chickpea flour

If you use a high power blender. You will be able to make the flour. Blend the chickpeas in the blender. For at least 2 minutes.

Now use a sieve to remove any lumps as you want the consistency of flour.

Chickpea flour can be stored in an airtight container for up to 8 weeks. But do remember to put it in the fridge.

Now do remember one thing please. If you do use the lemon home remedy mentioned earlier. Your skin will be more sensitive in sunlight so best to avoid the sunlight. Or better yet do this at night.

Treating a wound the natural way. What should you do?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 11:23:00 +0000

What do you do if you have a wound that does not want to heal? How do you treat it? Truth is most of us believe using a product such as Dettol Savlon or any other antiseptic liquid alike is good to disinfect a wound. But here is the part you probably didn't know. As good as these products are. It has a troublesome side too. It kills all bacteria. Meaning those good bacteria too. So with that in mind. I want to share a few ways that is safe to disinfect a wound. The natural way.

The first way. Vinegar

This one applies especially if you have to deal with a wound that doesn't heal easily. Spray vinegar. Just two three squirts is enough. In small amounts it kill the bio-film that is preventing a wound from healing. How do you know that your sore has bio-film? By the dark red color. That some will describe to have a shine on it. But either way. It doesn't have that light pink color that a wound would have otherwise. And obviously isn't easy to heal.

I have not used this method as I prefer salt water. But am told that it will sting because of the acidity of the vinegar.

The second way. Salt.

If you are a loyal reader of this site. You would have read that salt is one of the most natural ways to disinfect.

1 teaspoon (5ml) salt

500 ml boiled water. Cooled down.

Mix everything in a bowl. Wash the wound with the salt water. Dry the area gently.

Use this salt water mixture to kill all the harmful bacteria while protecting the good ones. This advice was given to me after I had to treat a wound.

The third way. Raw honey.

Honey can actually heal a diabetic wound.

Honey is one of natures most potent antibacterial products that few probably will consider when dealing with a wound. If you apply raw honey on a wound it will kill the harmful bacteria and even help the wound to heal.

What else can be done when dealing with wounds?

Depending on the wound and the person. It is also good to have high protein meals as it encourages wounds to heal fast. Protein is the building blocks of your body. Protein is a must for someone that has a wound that needs to heal. So whether you are a vegetarian or not. Fill up on those proteins. Whether it be peanuts meat or any other source. You will find that it helps the wound to heal faster.

Please Note

But take note. This is very important. If you are dealing with a wound that does not want to heal no matter what you do. It is absolutely important to see a doctor. It can tell you something is wrong and needs attention.

This article is based on two things. Personal experience that I know works. And advice from a lady that deals with wounds all the time. A lady that deals with diabetic wounds. So as I share it. I know it really works. I too used products like Dettol and Savlon thinking I am doing the right thing. But after my conversation with the lady I realized that it isn't the wisest thing to do.

Pour hot water into container. (just 250 ml to 300 ml will be enough) Now add sugar. 2 table spoons should be enough. The sugar is a vital part of the process. The scoby feeds on the sugar so do not leave the sugar out of this process! Leave it to cool down until it reaches room temperature. When it is cooled down add the freshly made tea to the Kombucha. Now make sure to cover the container with a dish towel. You can use a coffee filter too if you prefer. But make sure it is sealed tightly with a rubber band. This whole process should be kept very hygienic and clean!

Kombucha. The healthy drink that has been around for 2000 years. And here is why.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 10:13:00 +0000

Yesterday I was told about Kombucha. Kombucha is a sugary sweet tea and yeast that is fermented. A specific type of yeast! And is said to be good for a variety of illnesses. And ailments. You can make your own or you can buy it. The choice is yours.

Some of the people that use it claim that it helps to boost your immune system, helps your body to get rid of toxins, also others say it can prevent cancer, heart disease and high blood pressure. It is also ideal to use if you want to lose weight. It can even increase your energy levels. But we will continue this part later on in this article.

Scientific viewpoint

From a scientific point of view. There is no proof that it actually does any of the healthy things mentioned earlier. However no one can deny it is ideal for gut health. So if you do have any of the conditions I named earlier. You will still have to consider a healthy lifestyle change. And not just rely on Kombucha to fix any situation.

Making your own Kombucha at home

Health benefits that is real

As as it is filled with probiotics, has loads of vitamin b contains caffeine and limited amount of sugar. It can be accepted that it does have wonderful benefits to consider.

If you want to make Kombucha at home. Take note

But if you consider making your own Kombucha you must know hygiene is extremely important. Your bottle or bottles must be clean. Your hands should be clean. The advice from the FDA is. Make sure everything is sanitary. That means any equipment used to make Kombucha and your hands too. Also mentioned by the FDA. Only then will it be safe to make your own Kombucha. Use glass, stainless steel or plastic containers for your home made Kombucha. Personally I think glass would be best. But that is my personal opinion.

The important part you also have to know.

There was at least one fatality from the use of Kombucha. Misusing it can cause liver issues, nausea, lactic acidosis (caused by too much lactic acid) and even allergic reactions. So if you consider making this. Then keeping everything sanitary clean is extremely important as you can see. Drinking this mixture 3 times a day is considered a safe amount. That means no more than 240 ml 3 times a day. No more!!

So lets sum up some of the benefits of Kombucha

Great source of (good bacteria) Probiotics.
Great for gut health

May even be considered as healthy as green tea.
And we all know how good green tea is for health.

Filled with anti oxidants.
We all know the importance of antioxidants for a healthy lifestyle.

Kombucha can kill bad bacteria
Because Kombucha contains acetic acid it has the ability to kill bad bacteria and micro organisms

As mentioned in the beginning it has the potential to decrease the risk of heart disease
It can make a significant healthy change with the (bad) LDL and (good) HDL cholesterol levels in as little as a month

It can help you manage diabetes
Kombucha helps to slow down digestion of carbohydrates you consume. That by itself help to lower your blood sugar levels. Kombucha can also help improve the functions of your kidneys and liver.

It can help prevent cancer.
Because it has anti cancer properties. Because it contains high amounts of ani-oxidants and tea polyphenols.

Making your own Scoby for Kombucha at home

This DIY anti-aging collagen face mask fights aging and wrinkles. Also good for blackheads.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 11:09:00 +0000

Today I want to talk to the ladies about a facial mask that is anti-aging. But also highly effective against the fight against wrinkles. It fills wrinkles. Tried tested and approved. Even for those struggling with blackheads. You will be happy that you tried this face mask.

Now if you combine that with a home made face and body cream. You will wonder why you ever considered buying store bought face cream. And as the cream can be used for a body lotion you will be happy and amazed. But that article isn't what we will check out now.

Lets talk about collagen for a moment. Even famous brands tells you collagen is vital for your skin. So don't be surprised that this is a collagen facial mask. Combine that with a few other things and you will wonder how you ever got along without it. Gelatin is a source that is filled with collagen. So it will be one of the ingredients.

Arthritis

Incidentally. Many people who deal with joint pains and arthritis will tell you they add a spoonful of gelatin to their morning coffee. Not sure how it tastes but they say it gives effective relief. But too much can be hazardous for health. So in limited quantities it is excellent for arthritis. So consider the gelatin desserts as part of your lifestyle. There is such a wonderful variety of ways to use it. So do enjoy. Even diabetic friendly versions. And as it is rich in collagen. This way you feed your skin from within too.

This home made face mask contains

2 tablespoons gelatin.

Just enough hot water to dissolve the gelatin.

1 teaspoon honey. I prefer using raw honey.

Teaspoon olive oil.

And last but not least 1 teaspoon lemon juice.

Mixing

Start by adding the gelatin in your container.

Add the hot water. Small amount!!

Stir to dissolve the gelatin.

Add all other ingredients. The honey, olive oil and the lemon juice.

Now mix everything together.

Please note

Please do not apply if it the mixture is hot. The idea is the collagen mixture should be melted for application. Luke warm will be fine and more important. SAFE.

As you can do this every day or two three times a week.

Choice is yours.

Method

Place bottle in hot water if the gelatin mixture needs to melt again. Apply on freshly cleansed face. Leave to dry completely. Peel off the face mask once it is dry. Or rinse it off. The choice is yours. But for blackheads the best option is peeling it off. Apply your favorite moisturizer.

Or you can consider this wonderful moisturizer that I mentioned earlier. The moisturizer will be mentioned in the next article. Everyone who use it. Swears by the effectiveness of it. Admitting that is the best secret they ever had. But want to share it so everyone can benefit from this. So please keep checking as it will be posted too. But that is the next article.
