The best of green living

  • Even should you be not necessarily big on green living, deciding to use green medicine is good for your health. Green medicine is definitely revitalizing the natural abilities of your body to restore itself. Applying diet, detoxification, as well as nutrients, instead of drugs to reverse serious illness. Living cleaner, as well as greener, by means of staying away from toxic chemicals, as was originally intended. Conventional medicine continues to apply their slash and burn technique for treating disease, insisting on using their toxic drugs.

    Traditional medicine is necessary in many cases however it does have limitations. The main concern is that each side considers it really is 100% correct in its way of medicine. A lot of assertions have been made about how well green medicine has treated life threatening illnesses. Men and women generally hesitate to use green medicine because it calls for changing lifestyle as well. Having a pill is preferable to changing a bad practice for many individuals.



    Living green is performed at three different levels: personal, local, and also global. Family members need to prepare nourishing and balanced daily meals. The green of our local preserves the environment in our households and offices clean. International green is where everyone is trying to protect the earth along with the soils, forests, and air. On a personal basis, we should apply natural supplementation to remain healthy. To effectively fight against disease and maintain health, everyone must take regular vitamins, minerals, and other crucial nutritional elements.

    Because of to all the harmful toxins in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink, it is essential to follow a detoxification program regularly to maintain our health. Eating organically grown food is another necessity for good health and wellbeing. Organic food, both animal or plant, has far more nutrients together with fewer poisonous chemicals. As more and more individuals learn how food affects the body, it is becoming easier to go green. With this escalating demand for food that is grown organically, many local grocery stores now carry organic food. As you eat much better food, you will have greater health. Because nutrition can be diminished any time food is trucked from one location to another, it is better to eat locally grown organic food.

    As an experiment, consume organic foods for several days and then compare how you feel when you switch back to the foods you were originally eating. Green water can be as essential as eco-friendly food. Clean h2o is necessary for good health. Chlorine has been found to be bad for our health, and fluoride safety is debatable. The latest evidence has determined that our normal water supply has been contaminated with all kinds of drugs. Even if you have never ingested any medicines in your life, when you drink non-purified water you are ingesting minute amounts of drugs. Even though water filter devices are not 100% effective, using one is a definite improvement over employing nothing. Utilizing green cleaning products makes the home non-toxic. It requires some effort, but if you are serious about your quality of life you should keep your house free of chemicals as much as possible. As more people decide to use greener treatments we will notice a reduction in the more toxic medicine that most people use today. This will probably end up being good for all of us.

    The Benefits Of Herbalism


    .
  • Share
  • Also known as botanical medicine, herbalism derives it strength from the power and medicinal value of plants. Its origins date back before history was written or known to man and is steeped in lore and myth dating back to the oldest civilizations. In fact, over five thousand years ago, the Sumerians would use plants for medicine purposes, and so too, would Egyptians, using things like opium, castor oil, garlic, mint, and coriander to cure common ailments. Many of these plants are still used today to perform the same deeds. Even in the Old Testament, there is record of the usage of many plants, like wheat, rye, and mandrake to cure ailments.

    Spreading to China, to the Middle Ages in Europe, and all over the world, the power of plants to heal continues to be a strong philosophy today, and there are typically four different approaches to using plants for a medicinal purpose. For one, it is used as a sort of magical remedy, one related to a shaman or someone with divine, mystical powers. Usually a person who uses plants to cure the ill is seen as someone with extra powers that ordinary people cannot tune into, and thus, this shaman is able to use these herbs and plants to connect and affect the spirit of the one who is sick. This is a popular motif among many societies as people believe that those who bear the ability to do it must be mystical or magical.



    Another approach is the energetic approach, where people think the power is not on the administrator but in the herbs themselves, seeing them as energy containing substances that have the power to heal and give life forces into those who consume or come into contact with them. Another approach is the functional dynamic approach, which believes that herbs have a specific and special function. And finally, the chemical approach believes that herbs and plants contain chemical devices that could be great if combined with other things that will give them real value, in the example of pharmaceutical drugs that sweep the market, all with the intention of curing the sick. These people believe that though these drugs are best in emergent situations, the herbs have a much better long term effect if taken in their stead.

    There are many kinds of plant remedies and herbal forms, such as tisanes, which are hot water extracts of an herb, like chamomile tea. And then there are things like vinegars, which has a solution of acetic acid. Then there are the decoctions, which are boiled extract of roots and barks, and then there are the essential oils such as the salves, balms, creams, and lotions, the beeswax lip balm, the creams, the topical agents that are all derived from plants, like aloe, and other kinds of natural healing salves. There are also the poultices and compresses, which take whole herbs and then crush them and add water before making a sort of bandage compress pack. There are also the macerates, which are the cold infusion of plants with stuff like sage and thyme which are then cut and mixed with cold water.

    In ½ cup olive oil, add 1 tablespoon of cumin. Rub this over the scalp and leave it for half an hour. Rinse the hair later.

    The other group (the control group) massaged only jojoba and grape seed oils into their scalps daily. Each group massaged the oils into their scalps for a total of seven months. Interestingly, 19 of 43 patients (44 percent) in the active group showed improvement compared with only 6 of 41 patients (15 percent) in the control group. The authors concluded that aromatherapy with these essential oils may be a safe and effective treatment for alopecia areata.

    Rosemary Solution - this herb crops up frequently in herbal texts for its ability to cleanse the scalp and stimulate the hair root. Here is one recipe that features rosemary as its core ingredient. Recipe: boil rosemary, sage, peach leaf, nettle and burdock in water. Strain and use to wash hair daily.

    You can excogitate or formulate a solution from coconut oil and Allium sativum. To make this, pour one and half cups of coconut oil into a pan. Crush four Allium sativum cloves and six peppercorns. Add the crushed Allium sativum arlic and pepper to the coconut oil, and heat it to a temperature that is still cool enough for your skin. Sieve this herbal concoction, and rub it into your scalp and hair at once. Carry it once per day for as long as you have to. It is a good natural treatment for men.

    Cayenne Pepper Hair Tonic - the ability of this herb to irritate the skin, increase blood flow and stimulate cell division is well known. Recipe: mix four ounces of cayenne pepper with one pint of one hundred proof vodka or pure alcohol diluted with 20 percent distilled water. Let it stand for two weeks, shaking the mixture once each day. Strain through several layers of fine cloth until the mixture is free of pepper. Once or twice a day, rub a small amount onto the thinning areas of the scalp.
