Home remedies for a headache:

Lay down in a darkened room. You can also take a hot bath using a few drops of lavender essential oil or you can simply inhale the scent of the lavender oil. Alternatively you can rub the area between your thumb and pointer finger, and/or open your mouth wide several times to relieve jaw tension. Headaches can also be caused by dehydration or dehydration can make your headache worse. So make sure to drink plenty of fluids. Drink an electrolyte solution such as Gatorade if you are very dehydrated.

Home remedies for nausea:

Drink lemon water, peppermint tea and/or suck on a peppermint to reduce your stomach pains. You can drink ginger tea or sip ginger ale, but be sure to get the kind with real ginger from a health food store.

Natural Cancer Prevention

Here is an easy and cheap way to cut your chance of death from breast cancer disease – exercise. Five hours a week of walking or any moderate aerobic workout reduces your risk by more than half according to a new study from the University of South Carolina. And just 20 minutes will reduce the risk by a third.

Researchers say this study, involving more than 14,000 women, is the first to objectively connect fitness levels and the risk of dying from breast cancer. Will exercise cut your chances of getting the disease in the first place? Other studies say it will by about 20 percent.

Here are some ways to get in your 20 minutes a day:

1. Take the stairs instead of the elevator.

2. Park your car far away from your building and walk briskly or if it is not a safe area walk around your building a few times or just walk around the front part of the parking lot.

3. Get a group of friends together to walk.

4. Get one of those walking DVD’s
and walk in front of your television.

How To Look 10 Years Younger

There is huge line of products out there promising to make us look younger. But you know there are so many natural ways to slow the aging process and most of them are very inexpensive. AOL Health did a great post on home remedies for anti-aging. They asked their readers for their own home grown remedies and here are some of their tips:

Stress Less

Stress can cause us to tense our facial muscles which causes wrinkles and can be hard on our entire body. Our bodies are not designed to be in the “fight” mode all the time. Learning how to get rid of those stressful feelings can go along way toward keeping your body young not to mention lower your blood pressure. Many people say meditation is the best way to de-stress but you can also do breathing exercises, take a relaxing bath, listen to soothing music, do yoga, or exercise. Just pick one that works for you and you will feel so much better and look younger too.

Foods That Prevent Cancer

You can really boost the nutrition power of your salad by adding a few key ingredients. Dr. Oz gives us the reasons these ingredients are so helpful.

Watercress - Not only is this peppery green full or iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and lutein, but compounds in these greens – isothiocyanates – may thwart a potent carcinogen in tobacco.

Arugula – Women who eat the most from this food family score the same on brain tests as women who are two years younger. Plus, it has the power to turn on a cancer-fighting substance in your body that makes prostate-,breast, and colon cancer cells die.

Spinach - Its powerful ingredients include magnesium, a nutrient most of us don’t get enough of. People who eat three or more servings of spinach slow mental decline due to aging by as much as 40 percent. If you don’t like the taste use baby spinach the taste is less strong. Other leafy greens that are good are kale and collard greens.

I have found that mixing these greens with other kinds of lettuce gives you the best taste results. I still really like iceberg lettuce so I mix in the baby spinach or the watercress until I have about 50/50 mix.
