Getting Calcium from Coral

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

Calcium is an essential mineral and is required for human life. However talk about the benefits of coral calcium can be confusing and may make it difficult to put into context how we can benefit from appropriate levels of calcium in the diet, be it from food or from supplemental sources.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, and has several important functions. More than 99% of total body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth providing the necessary support to their structure. As a normal function of biology, the living cells of the body absorb new calcium to replace lost calcium or to build upon existing structure as in the case of childhood growth or in healing.

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Wine is more than an alcoholic beverage. It's almost a way of life! There are more wine accessories available than you could even imagine. From the necessities like corkscrews and glasses, to the not so necessary yet entertaining accessories like decanters, ice buckets, and pourers- there is more to wine than just drinking it.

Getting the Most From Massage Therapy Techniques

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Various massage therapy techniques can do wonders for your health and comfort. Well before there were massage therapists, physical therapist, and doctors massage was used to help the body find its natural healing center. As an ancient practice, the power of skillful touch could help the body recover from physical injury or illness as well as emotional trauma. The same holds true today.

Massaging the body helps to increase and promote circulation, which in turn helps carry more red oxygenated blood cells through the body. The increase in circulation can help reduce swelling and inflammation. Better blood flow also helps the white blood cells that are busy fighting infection to move through the body more effectively, ridding themselves of waste material faster and with more efficiency.

How to Fight a Fever

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Most people would worry if their temperature, or the temperature of their child or other loved one, was to rise by more than a couple of degrees and they would probably act to try to reduce the temperature to nearer the normal 37C/98.6F.

Prior to the development of antibiotics and vaccines, fever struck fear into populations and caused many deaths. Modern medicines, however, have caused these diseases to be treatable or preventable. Medical research has also shown that a fever is not the body's enemy.

The Natural Health and Skin Care Benefits of Aloe Vera

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Aloe vera plants, particularly aloe barbadensis miller plants, have been used for centuries to help burns, cuts, and other skin ailments. Perhaps your grandparents always had one of these unique, cactus-like plants nearby, just in case of an emergency. If someone got a cut or burn, they would break an aloe leaf apart to extract gel from inside the leaf. The aloe gel inside the leaf is used as a natural healing salve.

With the onset of commercialism and the recent boom in all-natural products, aloe has become the ingredient of choice in many skin care and health products. Commercial aloe products include everything from creams to lotions to nutritional supplements in pill or drink form. The products often combine aloe gel with other ingredients to enhance the gel's natural healing components. For example, an aloe-based Hawaiian product, called AhVahleen, combines aloe with some natural extracts taken from organic honey and a Hawaiian Kalo herbal plant.
