Hello Friends,

There is nothing secret behind it that the sun in moderate amount provides many health benefits. Sunrays in right doses help in synthesis of vital Vitamin D in our body. This makes people for sunbath. Many people wait for beach season. From gaining good health benefits, your daily schedules also make you go out in the sun. And here the search for best sunscreens begin to avoid harmful sun exposure, risk of overexposure to sun, sunburns and possibly skin cancer.

There are many sunscreens available in the market. But, the issue is which is best ? All sunscreens are not manufactured and created equally. A recent 2018 report by Environment Working Group (EWG) found that nearly 67% of sunscreen didn't work. Many sunscreens provide insufficient and inadequate protection from sun. They have no harmful ingredients in them.

Hello Friends !
Hope you are doing well in your lives. When I was writing this review, it just rained today. The weather was awesome. Every season has it's own significance. Each season has some beauty in it and if you are living at a place where you witness different season then you are lucky. While seasons add newness to our lives and we never get bored, they have some drawbacks too.

Well, Summer is one of the seasons that has its own characteristics and charm. From Watermelon to cool drinks & ice creams, we enjoy summers and try our things to keep ourselves cool. However, the major problem we face is suntan or sunburn. Harmful UV rays coming from sun affects your skin badly giving you skin darkening and spots. These rays are also responsible for untimely wrinkles & fine lines or age spots. You often take precautions against harmful sunrays and also use many things from sunglasses to scarfs & summercoats to umbrellas. But, one main thing which people use in large number is Sunscreen .

2018-02-18T06:58:00.001-08:00

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂
🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

Hello Friends !

In the previous blogs of mine, I had told you about Indian gooseberry that is too beneficial for your beauty and health. It boosts immunity of your body and you can use it in many forms like fresh juices, candies, chutneys, cold sauces and pickles etc. Apart from this , you can also consume it in the form of an Ayurvedic Preparation Called Chyavanprash also known as chyavanprash avaleha.

Chyavanprash is like a cold sauce or jam that contains goodness of amla or Indian gooseberry along with many other herbs.

There are many brands available in the market distributed and marketed by many companies. And you can find different varieties from one brand too.

Today, in this article, I am going to review Zandu Chyavanprash Avaleha

Before I start, let me tell you that Zandu is one of the biggest brands in the field of ayurveda and it is also among oldest. Who never knows in India "Zandu balm" 😄 even used in an Indian bollywood song 😁😂.

It's funny but the products branded by Zandu are having a great market place and value.

Now let's get started.......

REVIEW OF ZANDU CHYAVANPRASH AVALEHA 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

WHAT THE BRAND CLAIMS 🍂🍂🍃🍃

Zandu is expert in lifestyle disorders. Zandu's Chyavanprash Avaleha boosts energy & stamina. It increases immunity. It contains Ashwagandha, Satavari & Bala. It is a proven authentic Ayurvedic recipe and based on 3000years of authentic ayurveda.

Dose & Directions Of Use :

2tbsps every morning preferably with milk or honey.

Storage Conditions : Store in a cool & dry place.

INGREDIENTS :- 🍂🍂🍃🍃

There is a long list of ingredients. That's why I am mentioning some of them. You can read full ingredients on the pack.

Extracts derived from - Clerodendrum phlomidis Linn. [RT.] - 0.27g, Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. [HT.WD.] - 0.27g, Withania somnifera Dunal. [RT.] - 0.54g, Agele marmelos Corr. [ST. BK.] - 0.27g, Sida cordifolia Linn. [WH. PL.]......................to be contd.

It contains a vast list of Ayurvedic herbs and ingredients. Plz refer to pack to see whole ingredients.

MY EXPERIENCE 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂

I bought Zandu chyavanprash avaleha pack of net wt. 900g worth ₹285/-

APPEARANCE & PACKAGING - 🍂🍂🍃🍃

Zandu chyavanprash avaleha comes in plastic packaging. The colors used are orange and green. However, it is so very common today. You can see many products with same colors and style so you can't say it is unique.

Details are written either in white or black on the packaging. Packaging is OK and easy to use. You can open the lid, tear the seal and scoop it out with a spoon. However, it is better not to use same spoon again at the same time as it is not hygienic. When you lick the product from the spoon and use same spoon to take out second time, the germs may get into the whole pack.

So, always use clean spoon everytime.

Packaging is very normal and you can say it OK bit not unique or attractive.

The content is blackish brown in color. It may appear dark brown too with black tint.

PROS. 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍃🍃🍃🍃😊👍

1). Easy packaging.

2). Contains Indian gooseberry or amla.

3). It is ayurvedic.

4). Contains many ayurvedic herbs and ingredients.

5). Boosts immunity.

6). Boosts energy.

7). Increases stamina.

8). Contains Ashwagandha, Satavari & Bala.

9). Useful for children above 12years and adults.

10). Good for males & females both.

11). Source of vitamin c and many nutrients.

12). Protect against infections like cold and cough.

13). Maintains body weight.

14). Contains goodness of Indian gooseberry and many other herbs.

15). It has a good taste.

16). Good for digestion.

CONS. 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍃🍃🍃🍃😕👎

I couldn't say it can have any side-effect. However, if you are allergic to any ingredient or amla, it may prove not good for you. Secondly, it can cause acidity if not taken as per directions. If you have certain health conditions, it is better to consult a doctor.

One thing to be discussed is that the brands recommends it to take with honey or milk while it is controversial as some experts claim that it should be taken before half an hour or one hour before you consume milk. As it contains amla and there is vitamin c and sourness, it can be harmful to take it with milk. Also, it is directed by brand to take two tablespoons of it while it is better to take the amount that suits you. I mean not more than two tbspns but you can start with one tbsp.

RATINGS 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍃🍃🍃🍃

★★★★1/2 4.5/5

CONCLUSION - You can try it out. It is a nice product.

Review of Knorr Classic Thick Tomato Soup.

2018-02-12T03:02:00.000-08:00

🍅🍵🌿🍃🍜 🌿🍃🍅🍵🌿🍃🍅🍵🌿🍃🍅

Hello Friends !!!

We all love soups. They are not only healthy but full of tastes too. Specially, in winters, they are awesome. More often, when you want soup, either you go to some restaurant or prepare it at home. And yes, it takes time. However, homemade food is always pure and hygienic. I will talk later about homemade soup. But, now I am talking about tomato soup. Oh! It's my favorite. 😍😋 Being vegetarian, I love tomato soup most and then vegetable soups are the soups I am fond of !

Seeing the opportunity to provide best realising the need of people and earning more profits in this competitive world, food industries are laying emphasis on ready to made food products that require less time and no more additives.

Today, I am talking about KNORR CLASSIC THICK TOMATO SOUP .

Is it really healthy ? Is it tasty ??? To find out , plz keep reading this. Now, I want to tell you here that the things I review about in my blogs whether Beauty blog or Health blog are purchased by me and I give reviews on my own experience. These are all honest reviews. So, in today's article also, I am sharing review about knorr classic thick tomato soup that is based on my experience of using it.

Why to wait ??? Let's begin...............

REVIEW OF KNORR CLASSIC THICK TOMATO SOUP 🍅🌹🌹🌹

WHAT THE BRAND CLAIMS ? :-

Knorr Classic Thick Tomato Soup comes with 100% Real vegetables with no added preservatives. Brand says that great taste is in our nature & claims that they don't use preservatives in their great tasting soup just like you. Knorr choose carefully the best quality vegetables & spices to give you a restaurant like soup at home. Knorr is a brand of Unilever.

Method of preparation -

For Sachet -

1). Boil water according to the quantity mentioned per sachet. One sachet gives one serving.

2). Cut the sachet and empty whole into a cup or soup bowl.

3). Pour hot boiled water into the cup. Stir well with spoon. You will get sachet mixed with soup powder. Wait for few minutes and you can enjoy it now.

For Bigger Pack -

1). Empty entire contents of pack in 4 cups of normal water (600ml.) in a pan.

2). Place on the stove & bring to boil while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

3). Simmer for 3minutes & serve hot.

This pack will serve 4 people. Knorr was giving kroutons along with soup. But, it looks like it has stopped it so, you can add crispy pan fried bread pieces & garnish it with fresh coriander leaves.

MY EXPERIENCE 🍅🍃🌿🍵🌹

I purchase sometimes sachet and many times bigger pack than sachet that is of net weight of 53g. The price of bigger pack is ₹55. It comes in plastic packaging of green color and red color is used to highlight the content in it. All the details are written in green color.

It is mentioned there that the product is low in fat.

INGREDIENTS 🍅🍃🌿🍵🌹

The Green box with green dot inside means the product is a vegetarian product.

Ingredients : Sugar, Maize Starch, Tomato Paste Solids(15%), Refined Wheat Flour, Edible Common Salt, Edible Vegetable Fat, Dehydrated Vegetables (Onion Powder, Leeks (1%), Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Spices & Condiments (Black Pepper (0.4%), Anti Caking Agent (551)), Flavor Enhancer (627 & 631), Thickener (415), Red Beet Juice Powder ( Anti Caking Agent (551)), Acidity Regulator (330).

May contain traces of Soya, Milk, Mustard, Celery & Nuts.

Contains added flavours - Natural (Garlic) and Nature Identical Flavouring Substances.

PROS. 😊👍 :-

1). Ready to made.

2). No added preservatives as mentioned by the brand on packaging.

3). Taste is good.

4). Easy to make in just few minutes.

5). If you have no time, then it better option.

6). Low fat.

7). Made up of vegetables & Spices as mentioned on pack.

8). Thick soup.

9). Can be used at home , in journey etc. specially sachets that require only boiled water.

10). Very mildly sweet.

CONS.😕👎:-

1). May contain traces of soya, milk, mustard, celery & nuts. So, people who are allergic to these things should avoid or be cautious.

2). No matter it is claimed to be made up of natural ingredients yet you can't say it totally natural and better than homemade.

3). When I first tried it, the taste was better and even the color was resembling with homemade & restaurant made soups. However, it may be possible that food colors are added in restaurants etc. sometimes. But, then also , when I purchased again the color and taste was different. It was less tastier than before and looked like orange to light red colour.

Every brand from Unilever knorr to patanjali used to make their products in different production units. These units are small or big and the production of material depends on them very much. These products are marketed by then big companies. However, every company claims to check their product and quality assurance dept. is there to work on it.

RATINGS 🍅🍃🌿🍵🌹 -

3.5/5 ★★★½ / 5

CONCLUSION :- 🍅🍃🌿🍵🌹 :-

In today's time, people have busy schedule. Incase you have no time and can't make soup or are unable to go outside in a restaurant for a soup, you can go for it. Also, people who don't know how to cook much or living in places away from home where good restaurants are nothe there or if you don't want to spend more money in restaurant, you can go for it.

2018-01-16T03:29:00.001-08:00

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Hey Friends !

How are you ??? Hope you all are doing great ! It's January 2018 and you have many goals and dreams to achieve and accomplish this year. All the best to you ! Be a dreamer and fulfil them.

You might be thinking that what it would be in today's article for you. Well, in previous articles, you have read about health benefits of Indian gooseberry fruit and it's juice. Today, in this article, I am going to tell you about Indian gooseberry oil or Amla oil.

Do you know the benefits & uses of
Indian gooseberry oil or amla oil ?

If you really want to know about it, keep reading...

When we talk about Amla oil, many of us already know that it is good for hair. The twist here is that Indian Gooseberry oil or Amla oil is also good for your health. This surprised you ? Wanna know more ???

Here we go............

Amla oil is the product of amla derived from the amla tree, popularly known as Indian gooseberry. It has the scientific name Phyllanthus emblica. This tree is cultivated throughout the Indian subcontinent. Derivative products made by it such as fruit and oil, have been widespread throughout the world. The oil is made by soaking the fruit of this tree in another oil, such as coconut oil, for a few days. This plant ranks high and is used in Ayurvedic medicines due to its high content of vitamin C, polyphenolic compounds and tannins, that deliver a wide range of health benefits not only for the hair and skin but also for the rest of the body.

:: BENEFITS AND USES OF AMLA OIL ::

Regular use of amla oil prevents from dandruff, dry skin, hair loss, dehydration, a poor immune system, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, oxidative stress, premature aging, wrinkles, age spots, blemishes, scars, flu, cough, cold, congestion and inflammation, as well as people who are at a high risk of cancer.

1). Antioxidant Properties -

There are high levels of vitamin C, flavonoids and other antioxidants in amla oil. This makes it a very powerful fighter against oxidative stress and the negative effects of free radicals in the body. Free radicals can stimulate cell mutation and increase risk of cancer, so when consumed internally in appropriate amount, this oil can protect you from many chronic diseases. Antioxidants present in amla juice also delays ageing.

2). Hair Care -

Amla hair oil is popularly used on the hair. Many brands of amla hair oil are available in the market. However, you can also make it by yourself at home. It can moisturize and strengthen your hairs. It also prevents infections on the scalp. Amla hair oil makes your locks shiny when regularly applied as a hair mask, scalp massage or amla is used in conditioner/shampoo. Application of amla oil on hair keeps them black in color for longer period of time on ageing.

3). Improves Heart Health -

Amla oil has proven benefits for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Amla oil contains the potassium and other anti-inflammatory compounds that can help in relieving tension in the cardiovascular system, while the healthy fatty acids can lower overall cholesterol levels, helping to protect against atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes.

4). Strengthens Your Immune System -

The antibacterial potential of amla oil makes it ideal for soothing bacterial infections in the gut, cutting through colds, flu, and congestion, and generally acting as a tonic for your entire immune system.

5). Reduces Inflammation -
The fatty acids in amla oil can soothe the body from localized inflammation on joints or muscle aches to full-body inflammation, gut health and the respiratory tracts and its tissues, lubricate the joints, and help to ease the pain.

5). Skin Care -

Amla oil can give your skin a healthy glow and prevent common infections and conditions, such as psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and even acne.
For certain skin conditions, it is better to use pure amla oil or make your own at home, as some mixtures contain mineral oils, which can clog pores and exacerbate certain conditions. This can be a cause of concern.

6). Stops Signs Of Premature Aging -

There are some unavoidable signs of aging, including the early onset of chronic disease, wrinkles, age spots, blemishes, varicose veins and many more. It is said that regular application of this antioxidant-rich oil can minimize the appearance of these age-related symptoms by stimulating growth and eliminating toxins. It can stop signs of premature aging.

7). Prevents Hair Loss -

Premature hair loss or hair breakage are becoming common today. If you are facing the same problem then your hair might be lacking the moisture it needs, or you may have an infection on your scalp. Amla oil boosts the strength of your hair follicles and stimulate growth.

8). Treats Dandruff -

The moisturizing and anti-inflammatory quality of this oil is excellent for the scalp, as it prevents dry skin and soothes any irritation that may be causing skin flaking and dandruff. This is also why amla oil is so important for other areas of skin, as it can lock in moisture, protecting you against topical infections and inflammation.

:: How Does Amla Oil (or Indian Gooseberry Oil ) help hair ??? ::

Amla oil is an excellent remedy for the hair because it can eliminate dandruff, boost hair strength, protect against infection, act as a conditioner and improve the appearance of your hair. With a rich supply of healthy fatty acids, in addition to flavonoids, antioxidants, vitamins and other active compounds, amla oil can quickly remedy any issues you may be having with your hair.

The emollient, moisturizing properties of this oil help lock moisture into the hair to improve its appearance, while also protecting the scalp against the dry skin (which leads to dandruff). By adding a few drops of amla oil into your shampoo, or buying a natural conditioner that contains amla oil, you can add extra luster to your locks and protect your follicles from oxidative stress. This can eliminate premature hair loss and protect against possible infections, thanks to the immune-boosting properties of this legendary oil.

You can buy amla oil online too on Amazon.
Various brands like Dabur amla oil and bajaj amla oil are available in the market and online too.

:: HOW CAN YOU MAKE AMLA OIL AT YOUR HOME ? ::

You can apply amla oil on your hairs.
You can also consume amla oil directly, but precautions should be taken while doing this. You should consume only limited quantities of this oil, as allergic reactions and stomach distress can occur. It is advisable to consult your doctor before consuming it.

India gooseberry or amla fruit (or powder) and extra virgin coconut oil are the main ingredients in pure amla oil. There are a number of recipes for making your own amla oil at home, including the use of amla powder, differing amounts of oil, as well as dried or fresh fruit or fresh fruit juice. However, I am telling you the simple recipes that will yield pure amla oil and which I prefer to use.
There it is -

Ingredients are :
You can take
fresh amla fruit (grated) or amla slices or fresh amla juice.
Take extra virgin coconut oil.

Step 1 – Squeeze out the juice from the grated amla fruit or take fresh amla juice.

Step 2 – Now you can add the coconut oil to the pure amla juice.

Step 3 – You can mix these two ingredients thoroughly.

Step 4 – Heat this mixture to a low flame. Always take precaution as it contains oil.

Step 5 – Now, allow to cool.
You can apply this oil to the hair and scalp in roots following the right procedure of hair oiling. Else you can also keep it bottle. Sieve it before pouring into the bottle if you want for further use.

OR,
Step - 1 You can take amla slices of gratings in an iron pan. Now, you can add coconut oil or any oil into it. If you don't have any other oil, you can also add good quality of vegetable oil too.

Step - 2 Now put it on low flame heat. After sometime put off the flame and let it cool.

You can simply put amla and oil in iron container in sun heat too. But it will take long if it's winters. Also amla tends to absorb oil. However, it also works well.

Step - 3 Now, take out the oil leaving solid particles and pour it into a clean bottle to use it whenever you want.

So, in this article, I am going to tell you about amazing health benefits of apricot seed oil or apricot kernel oil.
Apricot kernel oil has also amazing health and beauty benefits.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF APRICOT SEED OIL :-

1). Cold And Flu :-

4). Prevents Against Cancer :-

A research says that the seeds of the apricot fruit contain a substance called laetrile, which may be helpful in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Laetrile is also known as Vitamin B17. In the year 1920s, the idea was found for the first time. The idea was that the substance extracted from apricot seeds can reduce tumors. This idea was developed by Dr. Ernst Krebb, a doctor from San Francisco. On further studies and researches, he found that using amygdalin, an extract obtained from apricot seed kernels could be too dangerous for humans to use. Twenty years later, a safer version of this substance was synthesised.

There are four substances present in amygdalin – two types of glucose, benzaldehyde, and cyanide. Of course, it is known that free or released pure molecules of benzaldehyde and cyanide are poisonous only. Many foods that contain cyanide are safe to be consumed as this substance is locked as a component of another molecule.

Rhodanese enzyme present in normal cells, can capture cyanide molecules that are free and make them harmless by binding them with sulfur. In this state, when the cyanide is bound to sulfur, it gets converted to a neutral substance known as cyanate. It will then be able to pass through the urine easily without causing any harm to the normal cells.

5). Skin Massage :-

A very good property of any massage oil is that it should get absorbed quickly and easily by the skin.
