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!

Body tricks


SOME SPECTACULAR TRICKS FOR

YOUR BODY !

(Someone shared it with me)



 If you've got an itch in

your throat, scratch your ear.
When the
nerves in the ear get
stimulated, they create a
reflex in the throat
that causes a muscle spasm,
which cures the itch.

Having trouble hearing
someone at a party or on the
phone?
Use your right ear it's better
at picking up rapid speech.
But, the left is better at
picking up music tones.


 Clear a stuffed nose or
relieve sinus pressure by
pushing your
tongue against the roof of
your mouth then pressing a
finger between
your eyebrows. Repeat that
for 20 seconds it causes the
vomer bone
to rock, which loosens your
congestion and clears you up.

 If you ate a big meal and
you're feeling full as you go to
sleep,
lay on your left side. That'll
keep you from suffering from
acid re-flux it keeps your
stomach lower than your
esophagus, which will helps
keep stomach acid from sliding
up your throat.

 You can stop a toothache
by rubbing ice on the back of
your
hand, on the webbed area
between your thumb and index
finger.
The nerve pathways there
stimulate a part of the brain
that blocks
pain signals from your mouth.



 Stop a nose bleed by
putting some cotton on your
upper gums right behind the
small dent below your nose and
press against it hard. Most of
the bleeding comes from the
cartilage wall that divides the
nose, so pressing there helps
get it to stop.

 Nervous? Slow your heart
rate down by blowing on your
thumb. The vagus nerve
controls your heart rate, and
you can calm it down by
breathing.


 You can prevent BRAIN
FREEZE by pressing your
tongue flat against the roof
of your mouth, covering as
much surface area as possible.
Brain freeze happens because
the nerves in the roof of your
mouth get extremely cold, so
your brain thinks your whole
body is cold. It compensates by
overheating which causes your
head to hurt. By warming up
the roof of your mouth, you'll
chill your brain and feel
better.
13.) If your hand falls asleep,
rock your head from side to
side. That'll wake your hand or
arm up in less than a minute.
Your hand falls asleep because
of the nerves in your neck
compressing so loosening your
neck is the cure. If your foot
falls asleep, that's governed by
nerves lower in the body, so
you need to stand up and walk
around.

This is

 a nice trick.
Have soQeone stick their arm
out to the side, straight, palm
down. Press down on his wrist
with two fingers. He'll resist,
and his arm will stay
horizontal. Then, have him put
his foot on a surface that's
half an inch off the ground,
like a stack of magazines, and
do the trick again. Because his
spine position is thrown off,
his arm will fall right to his
side, no matter how much he
tries to resist.


Got the hiccups? Press
thumb and second finger over
your
eyebrows until the hiccups are
over - usually, in a short
while.
DON'T FORGET TO SHARE :)

Check apple skin before you eat apples by MediFACTS


Please SHARE if you CARE



Be Careful when eating apples. Please don't eat the skin of the apples because it's coated with wax. Check before you eat many of the fruits. Wax is being used for preservation purposes and cold storage. You might be surprised especially apples from USA and other parts are more than one year old, though it would look fresh. Becoz wax is coated, preventing bacteria to enter. So it does not get dry. Please Eat Apples after removing the wax

When must we see a doctor? (Received by e-mail)



Most of us tend to ignore pains & symptoms saying, " Oh, it's nothing." We need to remember that it's this neglect that will cause a Minor ailment to boomerang into major problems, which may need more time,effort & resources to heal.

Make an appointment to visit your doctor when you experience any of the following.

1. Unexplained weight loss/gain.

2. Unexplained tiredness.

3. Unexpected fever or cough that persists more than a week. Changes in bowel habits or persistent bowel upsets.

4. Severe recurrent headaches.

5. Night sweats

6. If you are feeling sick for more than a week, be sure to consult a doctor.

Health: Signs of a STROKE( Received by e-mail)



Please have a look....This 5 min may save a life and lots of tears..... You could save a life. 

STROKE: 
Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T..R ... 
My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. 


STROKE IDENTIFICATION: 

During a
 party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance) 
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the 
party .
Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. 
Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... 


STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
 
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. 

RECOGNIZING A STROKE 


Remember the '3' steps, 
STR 
 Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. 
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. 

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking
 three simple questions 

S
 * Ask the individual to SMILE .. 
T
 * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg 'It is sunny out today').

R
 * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS . 

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
 

NOTE 
: Another 'sign' of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. 
2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

Benefits of Triphala (Compiled)‏



Top Benefits of Wonder TriphalaTriphala is certainly the most celebrated herbal formula. This herbal formulation contains the following three ingredients in a powdered form, in the ratio 2:1:1.  Indian Gooseberry or amala or amalaki ( Emblica officinalis ) ★ Beleric Myrobalan or behera or bibhitaki ( Terminalia belerica ) ★  Chebulic Myrobalan or harada or haritaki ( Terminalia chebula ) 
This mixture has a long list of uses. Here, we enumerate the top ten. 
1.  Constipation - The ingredients of triphala act as natural laxatives. A regular use of triphala will help in the digestion of the food, separating the wastes effectively, and then voiding them out from the bowels. 
2. Colon cleansing - Sometimes, fecal matter accumulates in the large intestine (colon) due to improper functioning. This causes the fecal matter to get compacted and it obstructs the bowel movements. This may become an invitation to parasitic worms, which can cause several problems. Triphala helps to loosen out these compacted matters and eliminate them from the body. Colon cleansing therapists use triphala in a large way. 
3. Weight loss - Triphala helps in weight loss indirectly as well as directly. Since it cleanses out the colon completely, it aids the body in metabolizing the foods that are introduced into it. Due to this, there is no accumulation of fats in the body, and this helps in keeping the body weight in check. Directly, amalaki can dissolve the accumulated fats within the body. 
4. Flatulence - Flatulence is caused due to the accumulation of tox
ic gases in the stomach. Triphala acts in dissolving all these gases and hence it becomes an ideal cure for flatulence. 

5. Nervous Disorders - Triphala is a nervine. It has properties for toning the nervous system. That is the reason it is prescribed as a medicine for people who are suffering from nervous ailments, including Alzheimer's Disease. 
6. Gout - Triphala is an anti-inflammatory agent. Gout is caused due to the inflammation of the joints and the bones. Triphala helps in removing these deposits, which are voided through urination. 
7. Liver and Pancreatic Problems - Triphala is excellent in treating problems of the liver and the pancreas. Triphala provides support to liver metabolism and improves the functioning of the bile duct. In Ayurveda, triphala is a commonly prescribed medicine for the treatment of hepatitis. 
8. Urinary Stones - Triphala corrects the excretory system. It helps in dissolving all kinds of residues in the urine that do not come out in the normal way, and coagulate in the form of stones. When these are dissolved, they are normally expelled out of the body. 
9. Eye Problems - Due to its cooling and astringent properties, triphala is commonly prescribed for treating eye problems such as conjunctivitis. It can also help to correct visual maladies, including cataract and glaucoma. Using triphala as eyewash in suspension with water keeps the eyes healthy and moist. 
10.    Stress - Vitamin C is known for releasing hormones that can help the body combat stress. The amalaki is one of the richest sources in the world of vitamin C. That is the reason people are prescribed triphala powder to keep away from stress. This also helps people to come out of depression and remain in a healthy state of mind.

GARLIC AND ITS HEALING PROPERTIES(Shared by Lea)




Garlic has been around for centuries and in that time, the health benefits of garlic have grown beyond fending off vampires and warding against the evil eye. Garlic has always been a food of the peasant classes. Used as a remedy to cure many common ailments, the garl
ic clove helped fight smallpox and pulmonary tuberculosis, according to Wikipedia.org. The people of the Mediterranean were among the first to reap the benefits of garlic before it spread to Europe.


Modern medicine has only recently begun to take a serious look at the health benefits of garlic, trying to find where the myth ends and where practical medicinal application begins. Hospitals and medical journals the world over have done countless studies on garlic and have found much information to support the health benefits of garlic, but at the same time, nothing is absolutely proven to be true. Still, here are a few of the findings regarding the benefits of garlic.

A Cure for the Common Cold?
At some point, everyone has experienced a cold. A cold is an infection of the upper respiratory tract and while it is harmless, the runny nose, cough, congestion and sore throat can linger for days or weeks. Rhinovirus is the most common cause of colds, although there are over 200 different viruses that can cause the affliction. Some people say that eating a raw clove of garlic as soon as the sniffles start will stop the cold from gaining a foothold in the body. Studies done at the Mayo Clinic show garlic contains properties that help to boost the body’s levels of antioxidants, which work as a defense system against viruses. This has lead to more research into the health benefits of garlic, especially how it can support the immune system against other diseases.


I HAVE USED GARLIC TO LOWER HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AS WELL, YOU CAN BUY IT IN CAPSULE FORM................LEA
