Nov 22, 2009, Herbal home remedies for snoring
Besides all the changes in lifestyle, habits and behavior we describe on our home remedies for snoring page, we also have some natural herbal home remedies for snoring. They focus on keeping your airways open and free of infections and inflammation
honey
Some researchers suggest that honey can help to clear your airways. It has anti bacterial and anti viral properties which might help
You could take a spoon of honey before going to bed or drink a cup of tea with honey or dip apple parts in honey, sounds delicious and it could do the trick for you
Nettle
Nettle can work for you because it reduces inflammation of your respiratory system. To get a bit more specific it inhibits the release of histamines, this is the substance that starts inflammations
Take 1 tablespoon of dried nettle leaves put them in a cup and pour some boiling water over it. Leave it for 5 minutes and then strain it and enjoy. Take 1 cup a day and slowly work your way up to 3 a day where the last one should be right before you go to bed
Eucalyptus tea
Eucalyptus keeps your airways open
For this snoring remedy take 2 teaspoons of eucalyptus leafs and put them in a cup. Pour hot water over it and leave it for 5 minutes, then strain and drink
We recommend the same regimen as with the nettle tea above
Longer term
All these herbal remedies can offer a very helpful short term solution to your snoring problem. However for a long term solution and a complete anti snoring regimen we believe that Christian Goodman's Stop Snoring Exercise Program can make all the difference. Take a look for yourself and see what it can do for you
Good night!
Nov 18, 2009, More acne home remedies
As an addition some extra acne home remedies that people have successfully used
Toothpaste
Dab a bit on the acne spot and leave it until the morning. This is said to dry the pimples out
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is fantastic for your skin. Will get rid of excess oil and unclog pores. Cleans and softens
Use glycerin soap
It rids you of that itchy skin, the acne, the dryness. The big soap companies remove the glycerin from their soap (which in turn causes dry skin which develops into many more skin problems) and then put the glycerin in their other products, like lotions. So first they sell you a product that creates a certain problem, and then sell you another to "fix" it. Makes economical sense, but that's about all the sense we can make from it
Strictly follow an anti acne program
One of the best Acne Home Remedies we came across so far is the acne fighting method developed by an ex acne sufferer called Chris Gibson. It is called Acne Free in 3 Days
Although the "3 days" in the title, might be just a bit on the positive side, it did clear many acne cases in a reasonably short time, depends from case to case of course. The results we saw were ASTOUNDING and the smiles and confidence people develop when noticing their acne was finally clearing up are irreplaceable.

Nov 18, 2009, Head Lice Treatment, Chemical Warfare or Bow and Arrow?
When your kids came home one day scratching their heads and you discovered head lice, you declared yet another war on those itchy little critters
And then followed the ultimate battle question: "what will be the weapons of choice?" Will we go to war 21st century style, use weapons of mass destruction and drown their tiny little be-hinds with all the nasty chemicals we can get our hands on? Or will we go the well known old fashioned road and try to eliminate our microscopic enemies with bows and arrows?
OK enough with the silly metaphors; let's get right down to it, when you or your kids have head lice, would you use pesticides or a natural head lice treatment? Would you go for Lindane or Coconut oil? Permethrin or Mayonnaise? Piperonyl Butoxide or Vinegar? Yes, it is your choice, but I urge you to check these chemicals on the web before you decide which head lice treatment to use. The choice will most probably depend on the effectiveness and the possible side effects on you or your little darlings (I mean your kids...)
There are a few things I want to mention on the use of these toxic chemicals in many head lice medications:
- Doctors in general agree that if your child is 2 years old or younger, you should never use medicated lice treatments anyway, way too dangerous
Another example is the National Pediculosis Association, they stress that parents should never treat their children with products containing lindane. Just to give you an idea, you're not even allowed to spray your tomatoes with this pesticide but it is still used in head lice treatments!
- It is a well known fact that with repeated use of these pesticides lice have become resistant to it, so it becomes less and less effective
- Beside this they're very unpleasant to use; the chemicals are rather aggressive and can irritate your skin and airways
- Breastfeeding or pregnant women or people with allergies and medical conditions are also advised not to use head lice medications
- Finally they are expensive
Our simple truth is that we, and many more people, have had better results with home remedies and natural treatments than with all the chemical products out there
So if you find yourself or your kids infested take a look in your own kitchen or medicine cabinet or visit the nearest health food store and stock up on one or a few of the next:
- Virgin Coconut oil
- Vinegar
- Extra virgin Olive oil
- Cetaphil non-soap facial cleanser
- Full fat Mayonnaise
- Tea tree oil
- Listerine
In cases like these the bow and arrow without any doubt outperform and eclipse chemical warfare. Most of these home remedies "suffocate" or kill all lice and nits with no chance of them becoming resistant to the treatment. So with one of the ingredients above, you will definitely win the war without exposing any one to nasty, unnecessary and potentially dangerous toxins
