Go green to eliminate red spots from your face. Natural packs made of fruits, herbs can help in getting rid of acne.

Chandrika Mahendra, senior research scientist, R&amp, The Himalaya Drug Company, shares few home remedies for treating acne.

Aloe Vera-turmeric pack: Aloe vera is rich in enzymes, polysaccharides and nutrients that exhibit antibacterial and antifungal action. Aloe Vera acts as a natural barrier against toxins, and nourishes and softens the skin and maintains its natural moisture balance.

Turmeric is an excellent exfoliating agent. The herb has strong anti-inflammatory properties, which soothe your skin gently. It helps minimise scars and inflammation and even enhances your skin tone and complexion.

You can mix a table spoon of turmeric, honey, milk and a few drops of rosewater. To this mixture, add aloe vera gel. Apply the paste on the acne affected area and leave it for about 15 minutes. Gently wash your face with plain water.

Citrus fruits pack: Owing to the astringent properties in citrus fruits like lemon, orange and tangerines, they tone the skin, eliminate bacteria and whiten skin.

You can gently apply the fruit pulp or the juice on your face or just rub the rinds and leave it on for around 15 minutes. You can also mix a few drops of lemon juice with Fuller’s earth and water. Fuller’s earth naturally prevents the growth of acne. Apply the mixture till it dries and then wash it off with lukewarm water.

While these natural ingredients are harmless as they don’t have chemicals, Mahendra advises use them on the basis of skin type.

Milk: It is a good ingredient for dry skin as it contains fat. Applying milk on oily skin is not recommended as it intensely moisturises the skin and can make the skin more oily.

Citrus fruits: If used on dry skin, can remove moisture, drying it out further. Hence it is prescribed for oily skin to help control oil secretion. People with normal skin can apply lime juice in its diluted form.

Honey: It acts as a great moisturizer and is suitable for all skin types.

Do you feel tired or you find trouble in getting out of bed in the morning? Many a times we avoid doing anything. We lose interest in everything. It is paining everywhere in the body. A feeling of regular tiredness is there.

It is Adrenal fatigue. It means that various glands of body system are not working in a regular manner but dragging at very low capacity.

Any or every small ailment results into chronic problem.

Regular sinus, migraine, breathing problem, constipation giving rise to different problems in the digestive system, depression, anxiety, short tempered, Gynae problems with ladies, and various other problems may be caused due to uneven working of the different glands in the body.

Usually when the patient approaches the Medical Doctor for any ailment, he /she is offered the best treatment based on the different body examinations. It comforts the patient but mis-alignment of different glands may pose hurdles in normal working of the human body.

Basically human-body is very complicated machinery. It is more complicated than even the super computer. So far the systems of the body are working fine, we take it for granted but if the blood-circulation in any part of the system is affected due to any reason, the body may indicate in some or other form. On its own the body systems are in the continuous healing process but in case of aggravated feelings of any nature, body-systems cry for external help to overcome the hurdles.

Correct diagnosis is very important for proper relief. Proper working of all the glands is equally important.

5,000 years old Acupressure therapy has been largely followed by China and India. Yoga is also a natural system of improving working of human systems. But the patient must know the proper acu-points which are to be properly activated. A trained Acupressure therapist can rightly help. Similarly Yoga teacher can guide to perform any particular yoga-assn in the right form with correct breathing procedure.

There have been many cases when the patient consulted some Acupressure therapist and/or Yoga teacher and gained relief from chronic problem such as: regular head-ache, cervical spondylosis, back-pain, frozen shoulder, breathing problem, constipation, sciatica pain, pain in calf-muscle and joint-pains etc. In no way anybody should feel that the regular medical treatment can be avoided.

Energy healing is based on the concept that every human body has same amount of energy but its utilisation depends upon the proper working of the body systems. Uneven working of different glands chokes the efficiency of different body systems. It results into prolonged ailments which are difficult to be relieved even after best treatments.

Complete body alignment helps in improving the working of all the glands of the body. It helps in opening the different blockages in the body so that the body energy re-energises the slowing systems of the body. It may take couple of ‘45-minutes sessions’ for the revival of different systems.

Regular sessions with the energy healer may bring relief in case of different gastric problems, depression, anxiety, constipation, restlessness, sinus, migraine, temperament, Reproduction problems in ladies, etc.

How do you like your ‘me-time’? Do you like to fly solo? Yes, we’re talking about good old masturbation.

And however you do it (or don’t do it), there is nothing wrong with taking some time to pleasure yourself, getting to know your body, and exploring what turns you on. And just as taking a shower should be a regular occurrence, so too should be cleaning your pipes, as the health benefits of masturbation are galore. Here are the 10 reasons why you should take matters into your own hands right now:

1.Manages Premature Ejaculation
Sex therapists across the globe have found that men who experience premature ejaculation during sexual intercourse can benefit from masturbation about 2 hours before sex. This enables them to have a longer duration of intercourse before another ejaculation comes on.

2.Prevents Prostate Cancer
A 2003 Australian study found that men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer. Disease-causing toxins build up in your urogenital tract and when you rub one out, you flush the bad guys out of your system.

3.Makes You Harder
With age, you naturally lose muscle tone…even down there. Regular sex or masturbation works out your pelvic floor muscles to prevent erectile dysfunction and incontinence. It keeps the angle of your dangle perky. You must aim to (well!) arrive three to five times a week for rock-solid results.

4.Improves Sperm Motility
Some studies found that masturbation improves some quality and motility. “Theoretically, a man masturbating before intercourse releases the residual sperms in the semen transporting tubules. This paves way for new ‘better’ sperms which are released during the sexual act and increase the chances of conception, which can add to your health benefits,” says Dr Mahesh Nawal, an Indore-based sexologist and President of ASECT.

5.Helps You Last Longer
Taking yourself to palm prom may help you stretch your sack sessions. Train yourself by timing how long it takes you to orgasm, suggests Dr Nawal. If it usually takes two minutes solo, try for three next time. Or count how many strokes you need to get to your happy place. If you’re spurting after 50, shoot for 60. Practice makes perfect, right?

6.Reduces Nasal Congestion
Another small study demonstrated reduction of swelling of vessels in the nose during sex and masturbation. This theoretically may improve on symptoms of the common cold, hay fever, allergic rhinitis and other such health-related ailments.

7.Manages Stress And Depression
Masturbation has been used in the management of stress, as it results in release of feel-good hormones, called oxytocin, in the body. It has also been found useful in dealing with depression.

8.Ups Your Immunity
Ejaculation increases levels of the hormone cortisol, says Dr Ashish Sabberwal, senior consultant of urology, Fortis Escorts Institute, New Delhi. Cortisol, which usually gets a bad rap as a havoc-wrecking stress hormone, actually helps regulate and maintain your immunity in the small doses. “Masturbation can product the right environment for a strengthened immune system,” Dr Sabberwal says.

9.Boosts Your Mood
Masturbating releases a slew of feel-good neurochemicals like dopamine and oxytocin that lift your spirits, boost your satisfaction, and activate the reward circuits in your brain. An orgasm is the biggest non-drug blast of dopamine available, and benefits your health in more than one way.

10.Prevents Pregnancy And STDs
Last but not the least, this one is for both you and your girl! For couples not intending to get the girl pregnant, masturbation is a safe way of attaining sexual satisfaction without vaginal penetration which would otherwise lead to an unintended pregnancy. If the man’s penis is rubbed around the vulva and spills sperms there, there could be a chance of getting pregnant.

Masturbation poses no risk of contracting an STD. However, mutual masturbation may however result in exchange of sexual fluids when partners touch each other’s genitals, says Dr Nawal.

As a last note, masturbation will not put hair on your palms, make you go blind, kill a kitten, cause infertility, or make you turn gay! What it rather does is allow you to understand your body better, help you to release tension and pursue sexual pleasure on your own, provide an option for a safer sex activity with partners, and let you explore your own fantasies. As the saying goes, who can really love you more than yourself?

Tiffany Waterson, a 30-year-old mother of three from St. Petersburg, Florida, says she struggled with her weight for years until discovering African Mango.
“I gained 40 pounds with my last child, and I was already 25 pounds overweight,” says Waterson. “I tried several diets and tried to stay away from the foods I loved and nothing seemed to work. I might have lost a few pounds, but it would always come back.”
Waterson says she just about gave up hope of ever losing the weight until she read an article about the slimming and health benefits of African Mango.
“I read all about it and said what the heck, I’ll give it a try and ordered some,” says Waterson. “I have been taking African Mango for six months now, and I am down 33.5 pounds.”
“All I have done is take the pills like the bottle says and drink plenty of water, and I don’t eat past 8 p.m. I still eat what I have always eaten, just smaller portions. And now to tone my body up I’m doing light exercise, and I am loving my new body.”
David Jefferies, a 35-year-old journalist from Columbia, Missouri, says he’s experienced similar weight-loss success with African Mango.
“After just two weeks of using African Mango, I lost 21 pounds of fat, including a lot of fat off my gut,” says Jefferies. “I’m amazed at how fast the weight is falling off me. Already my jean size has dropped from 36 to 32.”

Beware of “Watered Down” African Mango Products
With the recent publicity and fanfare surrounding African Mango, it’s no surprise that sites are popping up all over the Internet claiming to offer African Mango at bargain-basement prices.
However, desperate slimmers should be aware of African Mango products that use “proprietary blends” and don’t list the specific amount of the active ingredient (irvingia) contained in each capsule. Experts warn that it’s a well-known ploy that some manufacturers sell watered down versions of products that contain insignificant amounts of the active ingredient.6
Also don’t be duped by products which also contain all kinds of other herbal ingredients that have not been tested scientifically, because these other ingredients can be potentinally harmful.6

May 5, 2013 : How To Find a Quality African Mango Product
With dozens, if not hundreds, of African Mango products being sold online, selecting one that’s worth your money can be a difficult and confusing endeavor.
According to consumer and Better Business ratings, the 100% Pure African Mango product offered from Applied Nutritional Research is considered one of the most effective and trustworthy, with laboratory tests certifying the product’s potency and quality.
Each serving of Pure African Mango contains 1,050 mg of Irvingia — one of the highest concentrations currently available.
The website offers a 100% risk-free trial of the product, with each serving working out to be just 62 cents — less than what you’d spend on a small sugary softdrink at McDonald’s.
