Herbal Remedies & Treatments for Physical Health & Emotional Healing 1. What is an herbal remedy? Herbal remedies are dietary supplements prepared from plants for their therapeutic or medicinal value. The approach of an herbal remedy is to address the underlying, core cause of the illness. Although we may not realize it, many conventional medicines found in stores today originally came from plants. However, conventional medication is synthetically manufactured and goes through many chemical processes, causing it to have a high chemical content and risk of side effects – often doing as much harm as good. Correctly manufactured herbal remedies, on the other hand, use properly extracted active properties of herbs to maintain and support stability of an organ or body system of an individual as a whole in the long-term. 2. Yes. 3. It is important to embrace herbal healthcare as part of a holistic lifestyle, and not simply a ‘quick-fix’. As consistency is so important in obtaining optimal benefits from our natural remedies, be sure to continue taking as directed.

Food Causing Constipation Food Causing Constipation In Short : Constipation is not caused by a lack of dietary fiber. Constipation, like asthma, is caused by opioid peptides in wheat- and dairy products and beta-carbolines in prepared food. To get rid of constipation totally, you should consume as little prepared food, dairy- and wheat products. In Detail : Fiber They say constipation is caused by a lack of fiber in the food, but that is rubbish ; our most natural food, fruit, does not contain much fiber : 2% average, but does move the bowels. Knackebrot contains about 15% fibers, whole-meal bread about 7%, rye bread 6%, cornflakes and crackers 4% and potatoes, biscuits and white bread 3%. Fruit averagely contains only 2% fibers. (from Souci, S.W. et al, Food Composition and Nutrition Tabels, Medpharm Scientific Publishers Stuttgart, Germany) Water does not contain any fiber at all, but does not cause constipation. In fact : Too much of anything that does not cause constipation (like sugar and fat), moves the bowels.

Gaining weight!!? LA LIMPIEZA HEPATICA Y DE LA VESICULA | Nutricion Depurativa y Salud Hoy en día, por desgracia, poca gente sabe aún cómo limpiar el hígado.

Comparativamente con el hígado, poca gente tiene piedras en la vesícula. Pero, aún así, miles de ellos pasan cada día por el quirófano a operarse de sus piedras.

For the majority of Americans, "envious" is the word that comes to mind for anyone who needs to gain weight. Most people are on the other end of the scale, desperately trying to lose weight . But for people who struggle to maintain a healthy weight or are trying to gain weight, it can be a real challenge. Being a little underweight is not necessarily a problem, says American Dietetic Association president-elect Sylvia Escott-Stump, RD. "If you are comfortable, able to function and exercise , weighing a little less than your ideal body weight is not a problem and studies show it is associated with good health outcomes," Escott-Stump says. However, if you want or need to gain weight, do it the healthy way -- which is not about bellying up to an all-you-can-eat buffet. Calories Count, But So Do Nutrients Eat Often to Gain Weight
The Veggie Club The Mega Benefits of Omega-3's In a college nutrition class I took back in the 90s, I overheard a classmate boasting to a small group about how she only ate fat-free food. Most of America was still in the clutches of the fat-free craze, and my classmate’s views weren’t at all uncommon. Dietary fat was being blamed for heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and many other impairments of health. But instinctively, I thought that banning fat was a bad idea—I just didn’t have the facts to back up my theory. Now, a decade later, research is proving my hunch—that some types of fat can actually prevent disease and improve health. The Fat Family Tree The family of fat is very complex, so to make it less confusing, picture it as a family tree. 3 Types of Omega 3s There are actually three types of fatty acids that are collectively referred to as omega 3s: ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
