In Russia, the stem of the plant is used in the textile industry.
Ricinus communis, the plant from which castor oil is extracted, is native to India.  Along with amazing health benefits, the plant itself is known for  being one of the most toxic plants on earth.  However, there is nothing to worry about –  castor oil is not toxic. When castor oil is extracted,  the toxic part is left behind in the pulp of the seeds.

The Mixture of These 2 Ingredients Kills Cysts And Fibroids

Today’s article will present a miraculous two- ingredient remedy that effectively fights against numerous serious health conditions, and especially cysts and fibroids.

Its first ingredient is houseleek, which is a common house plant originally cultivated by the Greeks and Romans, together with other plants so as to prevent them from caterpillars, insects and pests. The houseleek is a strong plant and can endure any condition, so it has deserved its Latin name, which means “always living”.

This excellent plant is a rich source of medicinal nutrients, especially when it comes to the treatment of cysts and fibroids.

Ingredients:
10.5 oz / 300 g leaves of houseleek

Use:

You should consume this remedy first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, and you should not eat anything in the next 2 hours as well.

This remedy is extremely beneficial for stimulating your metabolism and cleansing your body of toxins, which makes it really effective especially during the winter months. During the winter, due to decreased physical activity, more and more harmful substances accumulate in the body, and detoxifying treatments and remedies are of crucial importance.

Moreover, this remedy has even been recommended by Russian doctors and is believed to be able to do wonders in cases of heart disease as well.

Last, but not the least: this superb combination is highly effective in the treatment of uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts.

Studies Reveal 4 Foods To Avoid To Reduce Mucus

Mucus can be our friend or our foe. According to any dictionary, mucus is defined as a:

“Viscous, slimy mixture of mucins, water, electrolytes, epithelial cells, and leukocytes that is secreted by glands lining the nasal, esophageal, and other body cavities.”
Mucus, also known as phlegm, is produced by your body from areas like your nose and intestines. While it is a defense mechanism, too much can make colds and allergies far worse, causing miserable and painful coughs – your body’s attempt to rid itself of the excess mucus.
See Infographic: How to reduce mucus in the throat
Thankfully, there are ways to ease the irritation, by avoiding certain foods that can increase mucus buildup. When mucus goes from helpful to annoying, like when fighting off a cold or allergies, these are the four top foods you will want to avoid:

1. Dairy products

These foods top the list of offenders in the unwanted excess mucus category. While there are a lot of myths about this, what is known is that consumption of dairy products can make mucus thicker, which makes it more difficult to get rid of.
According to the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, dairy products, such as ice cream and yogurt, can thicken mucus for a person suffering from a head cold.
A 2007 study published in the European Respiratory Journal demonstrated that participants who were regularly exposed to milk powder were significantly more likely to experience “nasal congestion, breathlessness, wheezing and reduced lung function, than participants who worked in an office environment.”

2. Certain varieties of fruits and vegetables

We all know how healthy fruits and veggies are. They are a critical part of a healthy lifestyle and diet plan.
However, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, certain varieties may increase mucus production. The main triggers:
bananas
potatoes
corn
cabbage
So if you are battling with seasonal allergies, a sinus infection or a cold, you’ll want to avoid these for a while.

3. Wheat

Wheat is a very common cause of respiratory symptoms, according to many nutritional experts. According to cardiologist William Davis, M.D., “mucus flows where wheat goes.”
There are so many components in wheat it is difficult to determine exactly what part causes the increased mucus production, but it should be avoided when you wish to decrease the flow of mucous and congestion. According to Dr. Davis, “The reduction in mucous production in sinuses and airways is among the more common observations among the wheat-free.”

4. Beverages that lead to dehydration

Certain beverages including coffee, tea, and soda, when consumed in large quantities, can increase the risk of dehydration.
According to The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, becoming dehydrated can lead to thicker mucus. They recommend drinking water instead, to help your body keep mucus secretions thin and lubricated. (7)
If you can avoid the above foods and beverages, you can give yourself an excellent head start in avoiding the excess buildup of mucus.

Drink Pineapple Water In The Morning For A Year (And These 10 Things Happen)

According to Ayurvedic philosophy, choices that you make regarding your daily routine either build up resistance to disease or tear it down. This is why you should start your day by focusing on healthy morning rituals such as drinking pineapple water on an empty stomach.

Pineapple offers a rich source of some of the lesser known micronutrients that your body needs. Pineapple is packed with the enzyme bromelain and the antioxidant vitamin C, both of which plays a major role in the body’s healing process.

10 Reasons to Add Pineapple to your Water Daily:

1. Fights inflammation

Bromelain is an enzyme that has anti-inflammatory properties. Bromelain helps the body get rid of toxins by fighting off inflammation which impacts all the tissues and organs in the body. Regular consumption of pineapple can help to treat mild forms of arthritis and sports injuries by reducing inflammation and pain.

2. Helps with weight loss

Due to the fiber contained in pineapple, it takes more time to digest, thus causing a prolonged feeling of satiety. Drinking pineapple water in the morning prevents sugar and fat cravings.  Thiamine helps boost your body metabolism by converting carbohydrates into energy.

3. Flushes parasites from liver and intestines

Pineapples contain an enzyme bromelain, that is anti-parisitic. A couple sources state that a three day pineapple fast will kill tape worms.

4. Regulates the thyroid

Pineapples contain iodine and bromelain that are effective in improving various autoimmune disorders; thus, effective in easing symptoms associated with thyroiditis.

5. Balances electrolytes

Pineapple contain potassium which helps make our body a lot stronger and maintain the proper balance of electrolytes in your body preventing cramps or other injuries.

6. Gets rid of heavy metals and toxins

Pineapple is loaded with fiber, beneficial enzymes and a host of antioxidants that help to detox your body from heavy metals and toxins.

7. Works as a digestive aid.
Bromelain in pineapple helps the body digest proteins more efficiently.

8. Strengthens gums and helps whiten and preserve teeth

Research found that the enzyme bromelain in pineapples acts as a natural stain remover, according to Dr. Frawley.  Bromelain also helps break up plaque effectively.

9. Improves vision

Pineapple contains beta-carotene and vitamin A that good for eyesight. Data reported in a study published in the Archives of Ophthalmology indicates that eating 3 or more servings of pineapple per day may lower your risk of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the primary cause of vision loss in older adults.
 
10. Protects from cancer.

NATURAL CLEANING SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR HOME


Cleaning is crucial in any home, but regular cleaners take their toll on the environment. Instead, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a cheap, effective way to do housework without using harmful chemicals? Fortunately, there is! And most of the items you will need are already in your home.
AND I RECOMMEND ORGANIC INGREDIENTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FOR GREAT OVERALL HEALTH. We're taking it back to nature here.

Lemon Deodorizers

When it comes to natural cleaners, the humble lemon is your best friend. Why use expensive lemon scented fragrances when a real lemon does just as good a job? Simply take a lemon, cut it in half and leave one half with the cut side exposed (preferably in a dish). Not only will this hide odors, you’ll get a fresh lemon scent wherever you place it.

Vinegar Spray

Vinegar is highly acidic, which makes it useful for cleaning dirt on a variety of surfaces. More specifically, it’s great for cleaning windows and polishing metal. If you have a spray bottle, you can create a mixture that’s 3 or 4 parts water and 1 part vinegar. Then, simply use the spray as you normally would – you’ll quickly find it’s no trouble at all to remove various tough stains around the home.

Peace Lillies

A plant is just a plant right? Wrong – plants having many uses in the home, often acting as natural filters. Not only will you help oxidize the room, plants can absorb some of the harmful agents in the air, making them a great companion to lemon deodorizers. Better yet, try using a peace lily where possible. Peace lilies are great at preventing mold, and it’s always better to prevent a difficult task where possible!

Boiled Potato Water

The next time you boil potatoes, don’t throw out the leftover water. This water has a combination of a high temperature and the starchy extracts left from the potatoes. As a result, its perfect for cleaning silver, whether its cutlery or ornaments. Just make sure to use it when its hot. ( It can always be reheated, of course.)

Nut Shells

As a more unusual solution, Indian nut shells are great for washing a variety of things. It’s no surprise then, that they’re often called soap nuts in some parts of the world. Crush around 2oz of shells in a 3-5 cups of water. Bring the water to the boiling point to create a simple soap. This can be used to wash glasses, dishes, counters, and the car! You can even use this soap in the dishwasher, or just add a few of the shells in as they are. You can also put the shells in a bag and throw it in with the laundry.

Baking Soda

If you bake, chances are you have a spare bag or box of baking soda. If you’re not planning a cake anytime soon, it makes a great all-purpose cleaner, similar to vinegar. Mix 4 spoons of soda into one warm cup of water for an effective agent, perfect for surfaces and kitchen appliances. As with any cleaning chemical, use it with a cloth or wipe and you’ll have no trouble at all.  It also works well as a scrubbing agent. Shake it on a surface and use a wet rag to scrub.

Ground Coffee

If you are a coffee drinker, you have the makings of a good dish scrubber. Using an elastic band or string, use your cleaning cloth to make a ‘bag’ full of coffee beans. The rough texture, combined with warm water and the natural ingredients inside coffee make for an effective scrubbing assistant – perfect for tough dishes!

As an added bonus, you can sprinkle used coffee grounds outside, around the perimeter of your house to repel ants and other insects and you can put coffee beans in plant pots and other areas where pests might gather.

Natural (Essential) Oils

Various types of natural oils have additional cleaning applications. For example, peppermint, tea-tree, lavender, and even eucalyptus oils all make effective bacteria killers. This makes them ideal for use in the kitchen. Due to their potency, you need only add a few drops of such an oil to a 50/50 mixture of water and white vinegar. On a similar note, the various plant-based oils used in cooking – such as sunflower or olive oils – are great at removing gritty dirt. Add a few teaspoons of salt to these vegetable oils to great a basic paste. Then, simply rinse with hot water and scrub away!

Sea Salt

Salt is, of course, a natural product, and it’s course nature makes it great for scrubbing or scouring. This is best used for dishes, as the rough nature of salt helps to break away dirt, yet it won’t scratch precious glassware. It also works well on stubborn surfaces, such as wooden counters and the dreaded oven. So don’t be afraid to add a little salt when dealing with difficult stains.

Lemon Scrub

Finally, there’s one more use for lemons! Aside from being a good spray and deodorizer, you can also use it as a simple scrub. Squeeze and rub a lemon onto your cleaning cloth and then use it as you normally would. This acts just like a cleaning agent – thanks to the acidic, citric nature of the fruit – and doesn’t harm the environment.

Conclusion

As you can see there are more than a few ways to keep your house sparkling clean without harming Mother Nature or your family’s health. The next time you’re ready to reach for a cleaning product, take a look in your shelves first. You might just be pleasantly surprised.

Make Detox Foot Pads at Home and Remove All the Dangerous Toxins from Your Body Overnight

Detox foot pads were first used in Japan. It is about stick-on pads that need to be placed on the soles of the feet before going to bed. The next day when you remove the foot pads, you will see that the dangerous toxins eliminated from the body have darkened the pads.

The foot pads are worn on feet because they help circulate blood and lymph into the torso. Our inactive lifestyle causes circulation to bog down around the ankles, lower legs and feet.

The positive results of using foot detox pads are less fatigue, joint pain, and fewer headaches.

Additionally, you can buy ready-made detox foot pads, or make your own at home.

These are the ingredients you will need:

(Organic) Onion
(Organic) Garlic
(Filtered) Water
Self-stick gauze pads
(Clean) Socks

Slice the garlic and onion till it is well chopped. Put it aside. Pour water in a kettle and let it boil. Add the finely sliced garlic and onions in the boiling water. Then, let it boil for additional 10 minutes.

Next, let the water cool off for 20 minutes. Then, pour the mixture in the center of the self-stick gauze pads, only enough to get wet. If there is too much liquid in the pads, squeeze the excess out. Also, try not to wet the sticky part of the pads.

Patch the self-stick gauze pad on the soles of the feet, especially at the center part. Put on socks so the pad won’t fall off. Throw it away the next morning.
You should see that the pad has turned dark. Those are the toxins that were in your body.

6 Signs You Could Be Having A Heart Attack – A Month Before It Actually Happens

Only 27% were aware of all major symptoms and knew to call 9-1-1 when someone was having a heart attack.
Symptoms Of A Heart Attack

Here are the symptoms you need to be aware of when it comes to recognizing heart attacks. These could let you know if you are at risk, even a month before it happens.

Chest Discomfort

This is the most common of symptoms and it comes in various different forms. Some people feel a pressure in their chest, while others feel burning or pinching. These feelings can occur during physical activity or while you’re at rest. The best thing to do is to contact a doctor right away if you feel any strange sensations in your chest.
It is important to note that you could be having a heart attack without feeling discomfort in your chest, as is common in women.

Feeling Tired

A sudden feeling of fatigue for no reason could be a sign that a heart attack is incoming. The heart has to work harder as arteries begin to close, and can make simple tasks feel exhausting. This can result sleeping longer hours at night or feeling like you need to take multiple naps during the day.

Long Lasting Cold Symptoms

Having cold symptoms that won’t seem to go away could be a sign of heart failure. As the heart struggles with supplying the body with blood, blood can leak back into the lungs. Pay attention to white or pink mucus with your cough which could be a byproduct of blood leakage.

Swelling

As the heart struggles to pump the body with blood, veins can begin to swell causing a bloating effect. The main points of swelling are the feet, ankles, and legs because they are the farthest from the heart. It is also possible to observe peripheral cyanosis, which is a blue tinge seen in the lips or extremities.

Dizziness

As blood circulation is restricted with a weakened heart, the brain may not be receiving the amount of oxygen it needs. You may feel constantly dizzy or light headed, and this is a major point of concern and you should seek medical attention immediately.

Shortness Of Breath

Another major sign of an impending heart attack is shortness of breath. The heart and lungs work in unison, so as the heart begins to work poorly, the lungs don’t get the amount of oxygen that they need. This causes difficulty breathing and needs to be treated immediately.
These symptoms may occur up to a month in advance so it is important to be aware of them at all times. If you feel any or a combination of these symptoms please seek medical attention quickly. Take charge of your health and protect yourself as best as you can.
