Natural Peppermint Ointment

The menthol in peppermint relieves aching muscles and joints. This peppermint ointment is easy to make. It has a milder and more refreshing aroma than over the counter mentholated products, but has the same benefits. If you haven’t made a medicinal or cosmetic preparation yet, this is a good one to start out with.

Peppermint Ointment

  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh peppermint leaves
  • ½ oz beeswax
  • 1 vitamin E capsule
  • 4 drops tincture of benzion
  • Cheesecloth

Combine olive oil and peppermint and allow to infuse in a warm spot for 48 hours. Strain the oil through cheesecloth and discard the mint leaves.

Heat infused oil until warm and add beeswax. Stir until the beeswax melts. Add the contents of the vitamin E capsule and tincture of benzoin. Pour mixture into a small container and seal.

Once cool, the peppermint ointment will have a creamy consistency. It will be viable for months as the tincture of benzoin helps create a pleasant consistency and also works as a preservative.

Natural Ways to Boost Your Testosterone

Nov 5, 2008

Believe it or not, there are simple steps you can take to boost your testosterone naturally, without prescription medicine or steroids. When you increase your testosterone un-naturally you can endure side effects that can be damaging.There are three different ways a person can naturally boost their testosterone levels, which includes: diet, herbs, along with exercise.

Diet

Many do not realize that certain foods can increase your levels of testosterone hormone. So, which foods will increase your test levels, you may ask?

  • Oysters - Oysters are full with the mineral zinc, which has a variety of benefits to your body. Zinc is a great way to increase muscle and boost your testosterone levels naturally.
  • Beef
  • Chicken
  • Eggs – The yoke in a egg contains important building blocks of testosterone, because it contains cholesterol. Testosterone happens to be produced from cholesterol. Now that doesn’t mean you should go eat a bunch of food that is high in cholesterol, because your liver actually produces 85% - 95% of your cholesterol within your body. There are other benefits of egg yolks, which include essential vitamins and nutrients.
  • Garlic – Garlic happens to be one of the best ways to naturally increase your testosterone levels. The reason is that it contains a strong compound that is called allicin. Allicin will breakdown easily, so it is crucial that you eat real garlic vs taking a garlic based supplement to receive the full benefits.
  • Broccoli & Cabbage – A great way to increase your test levels naturally and they also feature indole-3, which will help reduce estrogen within your body.
  •  

    Herbs

    Tribulus Terrestris is probably the most popular herb used to increase testosterone levels naturally. It is commonly used by bodybuilders and athletes to increase their strength and stamina. Tribulus Terrestris can be purchased online in a supplement form at I-Supplements.com without a prescription.

    Tribulus Terrestris is designed to increase your LH (Luteninzing Hormone) Levels, which begins to decrease as we age, resulting in less healthy testosterone. When your LH levels boost back up, you will obtain a healthy testosterone production, even as a 40 or 50 year old!

    Exercising

    Many do not realize this, but when you do certain exercises, you will boost your testosterone levels naturally. Exercising is one of the best ways for health testosterone production. Now walking your dog around the block really wont cut it, if your trying to boost your test levels.

    You should develop a exercising regimen that requires short duration and high intensity exercises. This will allow your human growth hormone production to increase and keep your testosterone levels elevated. It is however important to consult with your doctor to make sure your body can handle this type of exercising or training.

    Exercises that are effective include: sprinting for short durations or if you enjoy weight-lifting, bench presses and leg squats.

    USe Echinacea to stay healthy

    Nov 3, 2008

    A native, North American herb, Echinacea was used by the Native American Indians for more purposes than any other herb, and is today the most used herb for fighting infections, colds, flu, and a variety of other maladies. In the 1800s, use of Echinacea took off in the United States and the herb became popular in Europe as well. Echinacea is used in many Western nations because it is proven that the herb promotes immune system health and minimizes some of the symptoms of sickness.

    Echinacea is a perennial plant, which reaches around one foot (30 centimeters) to two feet (60 centimeters) in height when it is mature. The plant is slightly spiky and has large pink to purple flowers, depending on the variety. The center of the flower forms a cone or seed head that is also spiky and dark brown to red in color. Three species of Echinacea are used for medicinal purposes: Echinacea Angustifolia, Echinacea Pallida, and Echinacea Purpurea.

    An estimated 350 scientific studies have investigated Echinacea’s pharmacology and clinical uses with modern research showing that Echinacea has many immune-stimulating effects. According to studies out of Europe, Echinacea increases the number and activity of circulating immune system cells, as well as enhancing the body’s production of immune-active compounds such as interferon.

    The entire Echinacea plant is used medicinally. The plant can be dried for use or pressed when fresh to extract juice. Echinacea is found in teas, ointments, pills, juice, as an extract, and combined with other herbs and fruits. Most commercially bought Echinacea is a mixture of the three major species. Consumers should be aware that because holistic herbs have less regulation than conventional drugs, packages labeled as containing Echinacea might not in fact contain the plant.

    Proponents of Echinacea believe that doses of the herb can prevent colds or shorten the recovery time from a cold, especially when taken in combination with other herbs. If cold symptoms persist, professional medical attention should be sought, especially if high fever, heavy coughing, or an increasing sense of exhaustion accompanies the cold. People who have autoimmune disorders or degenerative nerve disease should not use Echinacea.

    Facts on Caffeine

    Oct 30, 2008

    Caffeine happens to be the most widely used drug in the world. The Chinese were the first to discover it and people have been consuming it for over 5,000 years! Caffeine is derived from 60 different types of plants but the most common source is from coffee beans, tealeaves and cocoa beans.

    Nine out of ten Americans drink caffienated drinks on a regular basis. Most people are getting 200 to 400 milligrams per day. Caffeine improves endurance; helps spike metabolism and helps with mental alertness. Some research shows that caffeine can aid in breathing for people with lung diseases and also reduce one’s risk of getting Parkinson’s disease. Sticking to around 400 milligrams per day is the suggested amount to consume. If you’re downing drinks and getting over 500 milligrams per day, you will likely become dehydrated, get anxiety& anxiousness and even gastrointestinal problems.

    Do know that pregnancy and age also increases an individual’s sensitivity to caffeine as well so be mindful of that if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant?

    Immune Tree Oxyquest – The Oxygen Advantage

    Oct 27, 2008

    You may not know this, but humans do not get enough oxygen. In fact, research has shown that the air we breathe contains as much as 50% less oxygen than that of our ancestors! Not to mention that toxic stress, emotional stress, physical traumas and infections increase the acidic levels in the body, further diminishing the oxygen supply we so desperately need. This lack of proper oxygen causes poor immunity, allergies, yeast infections, depression, digestive disorders, dizziness, sluggishness, poor vitality, poor concentration, chronic fatigue and poor circulation…and that not even a complete list.

    What can we do about it? (Drum roll please!)

    I give you Oxyquest by Immune Tree, the most powerful bacteria destroying, circulation enhancing, immune boosting supplement available. This stuff rocks! Just dilute it with water or juice to increase your energy, respiratory efficiency, blood circulation, immune function, and mental health. Oxyquest reduces free radicals, eliminates toxins, kills infectious bacteria and fungus and it even prevents tooth decay and gum disease. Oxyquest contains only negatively charged electrolytes, sodium and chloride that carry oxygen into the body. The oxygen is then released in the digestive process and absorbed into the bloodstream. Feel better now with OxyQuest which is available at i-Supplements.com.
