Home Remedies for ACNE (Pimples)


Acne is a common problem faced by almost all teen-agers and youth.    What is acne and why do we get them??   Acne is actually caused because of hormone imbalance. Your skin breaks out because of a hormone called testosterone. Both men and women have testosterone in their systems. In fact, did you know that in order to make testosterone, boys bodies have to make female hormones first?    If you have acne, you haven't got abnormal levels of testosterone. You've got skin that reacts abnormally to this hormone. You start producing testosterone around the time you start sprouting body hair. Testosterone tells glands in your skin, called sebaceous glands, to produce oily stuff called sebum.    To add to the problem the inside of the tubes that hold each hair become gummy and get partially blocked - giving you blackheads. Put together if sebum blocks the tubes --- you have big acne.

Home Remedies for Day to Day Minor Health Problems


  1. Did you know that Colgate Toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns?
  2. Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.
  3. Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as amassage oil for instant relief for aching muscles.

Alzheimers Care


No one ever prays to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, and no one ever hopes to have a loved one who does. It so happens, though, that the disease comes about anyhow, and then you have to deal with it. So, in the interest of your own peace of mind, you will do well to learn how to care for such people afore-hand. You might feel like you never need to know a thing about Alzheimer’s disease but you would be dead wrong. There is a lot you could do for yourself by reading up on it, if not for your own self, at least you could use the knowledge to help a loved one who suffers. There is no knowledge that is lost: whatever you can learn about something like Alzheimer's at this time will do you a lot of good should you come across someone who is suffering from it. I do hope it is not a loved one, but even if it weren’t, you could still be a great deal of help.
