Being healthy and beautiful inside out!

We serve an Awesome God. He forgive our sins but heals our disease too!
Psalm 103:3
Healing comes from our Lord.
The health and beauty tips shared here are collected and compiled from the net, heard from elders, read in books, passed on through generations.
The health and beauty care tips mentioned here are all natural/ off the kitchen shelf, made from fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs etc.
Need to remember..
Proverbs 1:30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
So inner beauty is more important than outer. To have a beautiful personality we need to be beautiful from within and we sure can take care to be fit, healthy and look good on the out too.
Be blessed, refreshed not just physically but spiritually too as you stop by here.
To Yeshua be All Glory and Honor!

Eye care

As for the eyebrows, they will get thick and nice (avoid eyebrows in case you have thick ones).

--* Powdered fenugreek and milk are said to tackle dark circles. Apply a paste of fenugreek mixed in milk on dark circles in the night. Wash off in the morning and watch dark circles vanish for good.

Here's some exercise to completely relax the eyes and the surrounding muscles

--* To rest the eyes, lift them occasionally from close work and look into the distance. Give rest to your tired eyes by applying two thin slices of cucumber as cool compress and relax as you do so.

--* Dip gauze. pads in light tea and keep on the tired eye for 15 minutes.

--* Apply gentle pressure on five points. Along the eyebrow, starting at the inner corner trace the pressure to the center of the brows and then the outer corner. The fourth point is located just beyond the outer corner of the eyes while the last point is below the eyes.

--* Splash cold water occasionally to eyes to relax them and bring back the sparkle to tired eyes.

Don'ts of eye care:
****************

** Don't rub eyes frequently as this can cause an eye infection as few of us bother to wash our hands before touching our eyes.

** When you splash water do not do this furiously believing doing this will take away tiredness instead wash gently as splashing may hurtle the smallest dust particles or an allergen which may minutely damage the cornea.

** Use disposable tissues instead of handkerchiefs to wipe eyes, as they are more hygienic.

* Don't sit near than 15 feet from the television and keep your book at least two feet away for stronger eye muscles.

** Avoid using aerosol products like hair spray if you wear lenses.

** Don't use your mascara for more than a year.
