Tea Tree Oil Remedies - Acne, Cold Sores, And Sunburn

Published by on September 2nd, 2008 | Tagged Herbal remedies, Acne

Best Acne Treatments

Over 80 years ago the oil from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia was discovered to contain valuable antiseptic and fungicidal properties. An Australian study compared a 5 per cent tea tree oil gel with benzoyl peroxide (a chemical used in some commerical acne preparations) in treating acne. It found that over a 3 month period a tea tree oil gel was an effective alternative to the standard topical acne treatments and produced far less irritation to the skin. Tea Tree Oil remedies are numerous. This post will focus cures for common skin  problems. We will post again with more tea tree oil cures for problems such as hives, shingles, dandruff and many more. You will amazed how many tea tree oil uses there are. These tea tree oil remedies are taken from 101 Ways To Use Tea Tree Oil by Cynthia B. Olson.

Acne - Tea tree oil is one the best acne treatments available. Apply three drops of oil to infected area twice daily. Add oil to  facewash and use moisturizing cream. You can also buy products that contain tea tree oil and are formulated with additional herbs that will control acne.   We really like the Native Remedies product - ClearSkin-A Gel. The main ingredient is tea tree oil but there are also some other helpful acne fighting herbs included in the formulation.

Flavonoids - Super Foods

Published by on August 27th, 2008 | Tagged Diet, Heart Healthy Foods

Kale Recipe

Flavonoids, a type of antioxidant that give fruits and vegetables their beautiful colors, may play a part in the prevention of many illnesses such as asthma, heart diease and some type of cancers. Good sources of flavonoids are red and orange peppers (great in stir frys and salads), beets (good in salads if you slice them in matchstick size), raspberries, yellow squashes, dark-green broccoli, kale (see recipe below), bluberries, purple grapes, red wine, cocoa and dark chocolate.

A lot of people don’t find kale appealing. Kale has a bitter taste like mustard greens or raddichio but when you pair it with the nutty taste of sesame it tastes delicious. I have tasted various versions of this recipe and can tell you it is good hot or cold.

Kale with Sesame Seeds (from http://www.epicurious.com/)

2 cloves garlic
1 bunch kale
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon soy sauce
3 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Salt and pepper

Preparation

Wash the kale, leaving it a little wet. Discard the stems and tear the soft leaves into bite-sized pieces. Mince or chop the garlic (your preference).

Digestive Disorder Prevention - Fennel Seeds

Published by on August 27th, 2008 | Tagged Allergies, Digestive Disorders, Herbal remedies

Fennel Seeds - Guide To Herbal Remedies

Fennel seed which is known as  natural way to ease mild digestive disorders such as an upset stomach or flatulence has an interesting history.  According to Pamela Allardice author of Natural Remedies A-Z, “Greek athletes training for their Olympic games consumed fennel seed to give them strength and to keep their weight under control. Fennel was thought to be a slimming agent, and a possible derivation for its Greek nickname, marathon, is marathron, meaning to grow thinner.  Fennel seeds were also used to allay hunger pangs, in much the same way dill seeds were.” You might even say fennel seeds are a weight loss food.

Fennel is a carminative and  digestive herb and has been used for centuries to alleviate collic and flatulence. You can chew the seeds or drink fennel tea. Sometimes in Indian or Middle Eastern food markets you can find candied fennel which tastes good (has a slight licorice taste).  You can also find fennel seeds in the spice section of your grocery store. You can make your own fennel tea by bruising (use a mortal and pestel) two teaspoons of fennel seeds in one cup boiling water and steep for ten minutes. Drink the tea up to three times a day.
