Complex Emotional Health Challenges, Simple Essential Nutrients Discoveries

Plant Origin: Sri Lanka, Madagascar, India,

Extraction Method: Steam distilled from bark

Cinnamon bark therapeutic-grade essential oil has the same wonderful smell as the spice cinnamon, which is perfect for lifting your spirits. It smells like cookies baking, apple cider, and happy memories. The oil, in fact, has an even deeper scent than cinnamon itself, making it the perfect addition to potpourris and room sprays.

In addition to its wonderful smell, therapeutic-grade essential oil of cinnamon bark is also a powerful healing agent with anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, anti parasitic, circulatory stimulant, and anticoagulant properties..

Here are just some of the ways you can use cinnamon oil in your home space:

Cinnamon bark therapeutic-grade essential oil is thought to be a particularly effective self healing remedy for digestive disorders, especially constipation and flatulence. It can also stop cramping and may be beneficial for reducing vomiting. It is said to be helpful for regulating blood pressure. It is a supportive oil to inhale gradually, (can be irritating) when you are feeling emotionally exhausted or stressed out. Cinnamon bark oil is used for getting rid of infestations such as lice and scabies. It is also said to be helpful for supporting the healing process of an infection. Using a massage oil infused with 1-3 drops of therapeutic-grade essential cinnamon bark oil, enhances the ease of discomfort associated with arthritis and rheumatism. Because of the warming properties of cinnamon, the oil has been used in massages as an aid when dealing with colds and flu to bring comfort to the ill person. If you need to gain weight and stimulate your appetite, cinnamon bark oil is a good choice. Take it internally in a vegetable capsule or dilute a drop in four ounces of soy, rice, or almond milk for best results. As anyone who has smelled spice cookies could tell you, cinnamon bark oil is also good for supporting emotional release, especially in times of stress or when you are feeling lonely. It is also thought to stimulate creativity.

Therapeutic-grade essential oil of cinnamon bark can also be used externally, but there is a good chance it can irritate your skin if used without diluting it first. Add 1-3 drop of your oil to ½ oz of a light carrier oil such as olive oil and it will be fine to use on your skin. Remember to wash and rinse you hands thoroughly, before and after working with oils and avoid getting the oil in your eyes. Keep all therapeutic-grade essential oils out of the reach of children.

Cinnamon bark oil can also be irritating to the mucous membranes, so you shouldn’t use it in a bath or get the oil in your nose.

Green Tea, Weight Loss & Enviga

By Mike Linder

By releasing the new Green Tea based product Enviga, my opinion is that Coca Cola and Nestle are liable to more harm than good in the cause of promoting Green Tea.

They appear to be telling us all that by drinking a couple of cans a day (at $1.30 -$1.50 a time) we will benefit from Green Teas’ weight loss properties and the outcome will be slimmer, healthier person on the other side.

The makers claim their drink has negative calories and this counterbalances the other calories you put in your body with your natural food intake.

Well, the Centre for Science in the Public Interest is reported to have filed a false advertising suit against the two companies saying their claims are wrong.

Am I personally surprised? NO!

None of these companies realise that Green Tea is not now, and never has been, a quick fix for any of lifes’ ailments.

Drinking Green Tea is a way of life. Its properties are indisputable. Its regeneration powers have been proven over thousands of years and if you drink regularly and over a consistently long period then many things which ail you will at least be helped or maybe prevented all together.

Already newspapers, in the hunt for headlines, are coming out against Green tea. I recently read on headline which said “Want to lose weight? Green Tea won’t do it”

This headline was meant as a specific strike against the product “Enviga” but all people will remember in a couple of months is the bad publicity and they will associate it with all Green Tea products.

The hijacking of Green Tea by major corporations as a quick fix was predictable considering the amount of good publicity Green Tea has had in the last few years, but my sincere hope is that in the chase for their profits they do not soil the good name of Green Tea, so that many future potential users do not come on board and start drinking this wonderful brew.

It will be down to current users of Green Tea to keep using and promoting the benefits of Green Tea by word of mouth and keep the forward momentum of the use of Green Tea going strong.

Conventional Cures VS Natural Herbal Cure

By Gaetane Ross

According to the American Medical Association Journal, over
100,000 Americans die in hospitals every year due to side effects
from regularly prescribed medications. Throughout America, a
huge amount of medication is prescribed on a daily basis.

The medical community openly acknowledges that fact that it does not
have any cure for several common diseases that affect people.
Most allopathic medicines have side effects that can range from
mild to severe. The reason for this is that most of these chemicals
have certain toxic properties. This is why there have been so many
prescription drugs that got pulled from the market after enjoying
several years of FDA approval.

The sad thing is that very few doctors nowadays bother to inform
patients about possible side effects due to close and cozy
relationships with the pharmaceutical industries.

Half of the truth is that pharmaceutical companies will only tell
doctors as much as they want to and not reveal the complete
picture. Therefore, the doctors are not completely to blame because
they cannot warn patients against side effects of chemicals they are
not aware of.

The trouble is that the business is so profitable is that these
medicine manufacturers are more concerned with profits and FDA
approval rather than the overall effect on the patients.

This is one reason why several doctors are now beginning to
recommend complementary alternative treatments, like herbal
therapies and medicines.

Here are some interesting facts:

• The totally amount of annual profits made by pharmaceutical
companies through sale of drugs in the United States alone is
over $100 billion

• More than 25% of all prescription drugs available contain plant
derivatives

• More than 80,000 types of plants are used all over the world
for medicinal purposes

• Over 75% of the global population depends on herbal remedies
for regular treatment

There are several choices available for people who are looking for
alternative remedies, including Acupuncture, Yoga, Qigong, Tai chi,
Ayurveda, hydrotherapy, massage therapy, homeopathy, energy
medicines, holistic approaches, and aromatherapy. In fact, the
number of herbal remedies available for different ailments equals
(if not exceeds) the number of regular drug treatments provided by
pharmaceutical companies.

The point is that prevention always was and always will be better
than any cure, mainstream or alternative. The advantage of herbal
remedies is that they move an individual towards a lifestyle more
geared toward prevention and cure in the early stages of any
affliction.

Pharmaceutical drugs work only after the problem has
development, they do not try to prevent problems because then the
manufacturing companies would go into a loss.

This is where herbal remedies leave the mainstream drugs behind.
This is also the reason why so many people are daily turning to
herbal therapies.

Herbal remedies treat the cause of the disease and not the
symptoms (like conventional drugs). Herbal remedies also have
almost no side effects.

Heavy Metal Detox With Chlorella

By Sandra Kim Leong

Heavy metal detox with chlorella is an idea that you may wish to pursue. It is likely that you have had dental fillings during one of your regular visits to the doctor before, especially if you are older. Natural health experts say that one of the main causes of heavy metal toxins in the body is from amalgam dental fillings or other medical devices that may be implanted in you. Traces of heavy metals can then enter your bloodstream and create numerous health issues.

What are harmful in the dental fillings include the mercury, cadmium, and lead that it contains. These metals bind with proteins, making them difficult to function. Many of these proteins are cell receptors, enzymes, or hormones; each having a purpose that is going unfulfilled.

Heavy metals are linked with a host of neural disorders and underdevelopment in brain matter. These diseases associated with metal toxicity include autism, Alzheimer’s, Epilepsy, Crone’s Disease, irritable bowel syndrome and others. As such, detoxifying the body of these pollutants is very important. Research studies have also shown that the lead in these dental fillings is a contributor to cancer.

Chlorella is a type of green algae. It has a fibrous outer shell that actually binds with the heavy metals in the bloodstream and assists in pulling them out of tissues. Chlorella has unique detoxification ability in that its cellular structure has three layers with an extremely think middle layer which enables it to carry toxins out of the body directly. It actively absorbs toxins, making it indispensable in today’s overly chemicalized world.

Chlorella has been on this earth for billions of years already. It is one of earth’s first plants and has the highest concentration of chlorophyll. This makes it one of the healthiest food. It has even earned the title of being the “perfect food”. NASA has also decided that it will be one of the first foods grown on the space station!

Other than for heavy metal detox, there is evidence to show that chlorella stimulates the production of interferon, one of our body’s greatest defenses against cancer. It promotes T-cell activity, thereby enhancing the immune system to more effectively fight off bacteria and viruses. Additional benefits are increased vitality and energy sure to the nature of its pure nutrients.

The process of detoxifying these metals will take somewhere between three to six months. However, do persist if you really would like to purge heavy metal traces from your body. Check with your doctor and ask your local health store if you intend to get some chlorella for heavy metal detox.

Raw Fruits and Vegetables for an Effective Body Detox

By Chonticha Marijne

Our bodies have a built-in body detox system which naturally removes any harmful substances present in the body through the process of excretion. But unhealthy eating and living habits disturb this process, which can lead to various health problems. A disturbed sleeping pattern, lack of sleep, anxiety, and use of excessive medication are some of causes of body poisoning. Fruits, juices and vegetables help to detoxify the body from these substances.

The main cause of body poisoning is excessive extra fat being stored in the body. The main focus of many body detox programs is the reduction of this body fat, as most of the toxic substances are soluble in body fat.

Another body detox method is water fasting. Water fasting helps in speeding up the metabolism of the fat present in the body, thus leading to the release of the body toxins. However, people who are in poor health should not choose to do any water fasting.

Juice fasting is yet another effective way to detoxify the body, as fruits help to provide vital enzymes the body needs, and that increases the natural ability of the body to fight the toxins.

The most beneficial fruits are the acid fruits, such as lemons, oranges and grapefruit. Other ideal fruits include tomatoes and pineapples. The best way to kick start your morning is to take a refreshing combination of fruit to detoxify the body. Just squeeze three oranges, two mandarins and half a grapefruit and enjoy this wonderful health juice. It is not good to use a lot of acid fruits when you are not well, as the excess use of it during illness leads to an overreaction to toxins., which will be leave your body bereft of the essential nutrients present.

Another good way to detoxify is by taking lemon and honey. This is less stringent than water fasting. Following a lemon and honey fasting program will not only detoxify the body, but will also provide nutrition and give you a more comfortable cleansing process.

Taking raw and unprocessed vegetables and fruits is good for your body as they produce live antitoxin enzymes. When fruits and vegetables are cooked, these enzymes are destroyed. Eating raw vegetables and fruits also improves your bowel movements, helping your body become more resistant to diseases.

Fiber is very important for your digestion and uncooked vegetable and fruits have a very high fiber, which helps to cleanse the body. Youngsters who follow the toxin-prone lifestyle of modern fast foods should follow this raw vegetables and fruits diet for an effective body detox.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in men after lung cancer, and the most common cancer in men.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in men after lung cancer, and the most common cancer in men. Fortunately, since most prostate cancer is slow growing, only 30 percent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer will die from it. So far, research has not confirmed that early detection of prostate cancer leads to treatment that will prolong life. Testing is needed to screen for prostate cancer to improve treatment.

There are two methods used to screen for prostate cancer in men. First there is a blood test used to measure PSA (prostate specific antigen), a protein produced by the prostate gland. PSA levels tend to rise when prostate cancer is present. Unfortunately, the test has both high false positives and high false negatives making results questionable. The test also cannot distinguish if the prostate cancer is slow growing and unlikely to cause symptoms, or a highly aggressive form. The other important screening test is the digital rectal exam (DRE), where a doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum to feel for lumps or irregularity of the prostate. The DRE has an 85 percent false positive rate, where abnormalities felt but cancer is not present. If either the PSA or DRE is abnormal, further evaluation is warranted. A prostate biopsy may need to be performed, using a needle, which is inserted into the prostate through the rectum. Biopsy is the only truly effective test that can prove if cancer cells are present.

Prostate cancer can be treated by a variety of means. The treatment decision must be based on the appearance and spread of the cancer, general health condition, one's symptoms, and how each individual weighs the potential risks of the different therapies offered. No therapy has yet proven to extend life, although some treatments may reduce symptoms making life much more bearable. Options include watchful waiting, radiation therapy, prostatectomy, and hormone therapy. Each option has potential and serious side effects.

PSA screening should be optional for men at average risk of contracting prostate cancer. Advice varies for when PSA are beneficial, and when PSA screening are recommended. The American Cancer Society and American Urological Association both recommend offering PSA screening to men ages 50 to 70 at average risk, with appropriate counseling. African American men and men with family members who have developed prostate cancer before age 70 are at much higher risk. These men should discuss prostate-cancer screening with their doctors.
