It can relieve chronic fluid retention, arthritis, gallbladder and liver congestion and can remove mucus in the lungs and bowels. It makes an effective deodorant and can be used around the home for tasks such as lubricating a squeaky juicer.

Having erection trouble once in awhile isn't necessarily a cause for concern. However, if erectile dysfunction is an ongoing problem, it may cause stress, cause relationship problems, or affect your self-confidence. Pharmaceuticals are widely advertised to treat ED, but before you try drugs, you may want to experiment with less expensive and risky natural alternatives. These ten home remedies have worked for many men.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />1) Black currants<br /><br />Consumption of black currants boiled in milk or consumed along with a glass of milk adds to potency and makes a healthful bedtime snack.<br /><br />2) Dried dates<br /><br />Dried dates with their positive sodium and potassium balance can help restore potency where erectile dysfunction is the result of potassium deficiency. Dried dates may be snacked on along with pistachios, raisins, or almonds, which add to their effectiveness.<br /><br />3) Garlic<br /><br />Garlic helps with its antioxidants to improve erection. Two or three cloves of garlic before consuming food often proves to be an effective ED remedy.<br /><br />4) Horny Goat Weed<br /><br />An herb by the name of horny goat weed serves to add to stamina and proper erection by making way for nitric oxide-based reaction, which in turn improves the flow of blood in the penis.<br /><br />5) Medicinal herbs<br /><br />Two medicinal herbs by the names of Ginko Biloba and Aswagandha are effective in adding to stamina and potency. They can either be taken in forms of tinctures or as tonics.<br /><br />6) Milk and carrots<br /><br />Regular consumption of milk along with two tablespoons of grated carrot is another remedy for erectile dysfunction.<br /><br />7) Okra<br /><br />Okra can play an effective role in adding to masculine vigor and aiding erection. Apart from having it as vegetable; it can be taken in the form of powdered herb.<br /><br />8) Onions and carrots<br /><br />Salads consisting of onions and raw carrots also add to stamina.<br /><br />9) Onion soup<br /><br />Onion soup or broth obtained after boiling chopped onions in a medium sized pan filled with water is another effective remedy. However, if digestive and cardiovascular problems exist, onion soup may not be appropriate.<br /><br />10) Walnut and honey<br /><br />A mixture of equal measures of powdered walnut and honey may be beneficial for erectile dysfunction. Taking a spoonful of the mixture three times a day followed by a cup of milk is an effective natural treatment.<br /><br />No remedy, including pharmaceutical drugs, works for everybody. If one remedy doesn't seem to be working after a couple of weeks, you can try another. If fact, you can try more than one at the same time. None of them are dangerous for most men, and a combination of more than one remedy may be just what is needed to produce a strong, long-lasting erection.<br /><br />A breakthrough new method gives any man harder erections simply, naturally and without drugs!

About 300,000 men each year are diagnosed with erectile dysfunction in the United States alone. Although, pharmaceuticals are often used to treat the condition, they are not suitable for many men who have other medical problems. Besides that, drugs are expensive and may have side effects. Herbal remedies for erectile dysfunction may often be cheaper and safer than pharmaceuticals are. Here are five herbal remedies that are used for erectile dysfunction.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />1) Aswagandha<br /><br />The herb Aswagandha (Withania somnifera), also called Indian ginseng, has been known for centuries as a tonic for stress relief. It works by decreasing performance anxiety and aiding better circulation.<br /><br />2) Damiana<br /><br />Mexican natives are known to use the herb damiana (Turnera diffusa) as a male aphrodisiac. Damiana has proven efficacy in alleviating problems of achieving and maintaining erection among men, besides soothing anxiety symptoms rising from fears of inadequate sexual performance.<br /><br />3) Gingko Biloba<br /><br />The most important way that ginkgo biloba works as an aphrodisiac is by improving the circulatory system of the body. Among males, this also leads to improved arterial inflow to erectile tissues through arteries and veins without any adverse effect on systemic blood pressure. Enhanced supply of blood to the sex organs is crucial to attain and maintain erection. In this way use of ginkgo biloba may help in the treatment of impotence caused by poor circulation among men. Among healthy males, it can help in achieving prompt and longer lasting erections as well as more intense orgasms.<br /><br />4) Ginseng<br />One of the herbal remedies that has gained considerable acceptance in recent years is Ginseng. Although the term ginseng has been used to refer to a variety of unrelated plants, many of them show remarkably similar properties and thereputic values. Among them, Chinese ginseng (Panax ginseng), Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), and Female ginseng (Angelica sinensis or Dong Quai) show poptential as treatments for erectile dysfunction.<br /><br />5) Saw Palmetto<br /><br />Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) has received attention in the past years as an effective treatment for libido loss for its ability to help the body retain testosterone levels. <br /><br />Erectile dysfunction is a condition that affects a lot of men, but just because you have it, does not mean that you have to use pharmaceutical for the rest of your life in order to have sex. For many men, herbal remedies are a viable alternative to erectile dysfunction drugs. Consult with an alternative medical practitioner or herbalist about the best herbal remedy for your condition. Before you know it, erectile dysfunction may become just a bad memory.<br /><br />A breakthrough new method gives any man harder erections simply, naturally and without drugs!

My post <a href="http://health-fitness-solutions.blogspot.com/2008/02/reverse-hair-loss-with-massage.html">Reverse Hair Loss with Massage</a> explains how to do it. This practice can be done once a day every morning or before going to bed.<br /><br />2) Inversion<br /><br /> Inversion involves inverting the body to allow blood to flow to the head. You can stand on your head for up to five minutes, or simple let your upper body hang from the edge of your bed. The continuous blood flow to the head will help you prevent and reverse hair loss.<br /><br />3) Diet<br /><br />The food you consume affects your health and appearance. Avoid the empty calories and toxins of processed foods, and eat as much fresh meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits as you can. The nutrients in these foods will contribute to the health and appearance of your hair and scalp.<br /><br />4) Avoid toxic substances<br /><br />Just as important as putting good things into your body is not putting bad things into it. Aside from processed foods, drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking are two main sources of toxins. If you frequently consume alcoholic drinks and smoke cigarettes, chances are, your body is already filled with harmful toxins that can greatly affect your health and cause you to lose hair. Prevent and reverse hair loss by avoiding these toxins and others, such as household chemicals.<br /><br />5) Manage stress<br />Stress can affect a person's well-being in a number of ways, including hair loss. Chronic tension can result to the contraction of the muscles in your scalp, which will then prevent continuous blood flow. Manage stress by learning some relaxation techniques or engaging in activities that take your mind off your worries.<br /><br />If you're serious about preventing and reversing hair loss, you should try all five of these ways. The only ones that take any time are scalp massage and inversion, and even they take only 5-10 minutes daily. The more you do to keep your hair and scalp healthy, the less hair you will lose and the more you will grow back. <br /><br />Did you know that <b>most hair loss is NOT genetic</b>?

Artificial Sweeteners May Be the CauseCan't lose weight? Artificial sweeteners may be the cause, says David Brownstein, MD, especially toxic sucralose.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Sucralose is an artificial sweetener found in many low-calorie, sugar-free products. Unfortunately, it has become a staple in our food supply. It is 600x as sweet as table sugar and over three times sweeter than aspartame (i.e., NutraSweet). I would venture a guess that a product that is 600x sweeter than table sugar is not be a healthy item for the human body.<br /><br />Sucralose contains three chlorine atoms in its structure. Heating sucralose can create a chemical reaction with the chlorine atoms where they are transformed into a toxic product.<br /><br />A recent study (Env. Sci. Techn. 2011; Aug 31.PMID:21879743) reported that water treatment plants were unable to fully remove sucralose from the finished drinking water. The researchers studied 19 U.S. water treatment plants serving more than 28 million people. The scientists reported that sucralose was found in the finished drinking water in 13 of 19 sites. What this means is that the water treatment plants were unable to remove sucralose from the end product coming out of your tap. <a href="http://drdavidbrownstein.blogspot.com/2011/11/avoid-sucralose.html">Read more</a></blockquote>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339511865413152064.post-3075217761740096732011-11-18T07:00:00.000-08:002012-01-21T09:10:06.953-08:00Nuts May Prevent Heart DiseaseA new study found that eating walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds contributed to heart health. <br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">A recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Barcelona in collaboration with the Human Nutrition Unit of the Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona, reveals that eating nuts can elevate serotonin levels in the bodies of individuals suffering from metabolic syndrome (which puts them at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes). Unfortunately, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the USA alone has been estimated at approximately 25%.<br /><br />Serotonin is an important hormone and neurotransmitter with a dual function in the human body. While it is located mostly in the enterochromaffin cells in the gut, where it regulates intestinal movement, smaller amounts of serotonin can also be found in the central nervous system, where it helps regulate mood, appetite and sleep. Moreover, elevated serotonin levels correlate positively with good heart health. <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/034183_heart_disease_nuts.html">Read more</a></blockquote>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339511865413152064.post-55950610464228007602011-11-16T04:00:00.000-08:002012-01-21T09:10:07.067-08:00How to Reverse Receding GumsNatasha talks about how she reversed her receding gums.
