Bay Leaves: for Insomnia (Sleep Aid)

How to use bay leaves to treat insomnia.

1. Insomnia is a
   common problem where people find it difficult to "switch off"
   and fall asleep easily at night.

There are many issues which can cause this, such as eating an
unhealthy diet, or having general stress and anxiety.

2. The good news is
   that bay leaves have been used as a natural medicine for thousands of
   years and have the ability to trigger relaxation hormones in your body,
   helping you to fall asleep.

3. Simply take three
   bay leaves and place them in a fireproof bowl. Burn them using a match or
   a lighter. Be careful as these leaves are very inflammable and burn very
   quickly.

4. The natural
   aromas from the leaves cause your body to relax within 5-10 minutes. This
   is due to the natural essential oils the leaves contain such as Pinene,
   and Cineole.

5. The leaves also
   contain Eugenol and Mycrene. These compounds have the effect of reducing
   stress from the body

6. Burn the bay
   leaves around an hour before you wish to sleep. Put away your phone and
   mobile devices and simply allow yourself to relax. This will help you to
   unwind and prepare your mind for rest.

7. This process will
   also help you to get a rejuvenating night's sleep, with less chance of
   waking up restless during the night or early morning.

8. The leaves
   themselves can be used to flavour delicious meals. In fact a compound
   called linalool found in bay leaves has been shown to reduce anxiety and
   improve social interaction.

9. To enjoy these
   benefits, the leaves can be steeped in water to create a bay leaf tea, or
   added to soups and stews, and removed when cooked.

10. Bay leaves are
    most commonly used as a spice but also have many other health benefits, be

Erase Stretch Marks: in 4 Weeks (Easily)

How
to erase stretch marks from the body in 4 weeks easily.

1. Stretch marks are a common
   problem, especially for mothers who have given birth or are pregnant.

2. In today's video we will
   share with you a simple remedy which can heal the skin and get rid of
   stretch marks in as little as 4 weeks.

Let’s take a look at the recipe

You Will Need 

1 Teaspoon Wheatgerm Oil

1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil

1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice

Method

Mix the ingredients together in a small bowl and stir well. Use a
massage brush tool or your fingers and massage the oil into the stretch marks
for at least 2 minutes. Apply pressure in circular motions to ensure that the
oil can penetrate the skin.

Perform this every other night, for one month. Be sure to take a
break between treatments of 1 day each time. This will allow the skin to heal.

3. The
   wheatgerm oil is a powerful natural source of Vitamin E, which helps the
   scar tissue to break down where the stretch marks have formed. This also
   promotes healthy skin growth.

4. The coconut
   oil has the ability to help the skin absorb the vitamin e from the wheat
   germ oil. It is also highly moisturising and aids the process in growing
   new skin cells.

5. It is
   important to use freshly squeezed lemon juice for this remedy. The natural
   acids within the lemons helps to strip away dying scar tissue cells from
   the surface of the skin.

6. Over time,
   you will notice the stretch marks becoming red. This is a sign that the
   treatment is working. The circulation of blood is beginning to come to the
   surface as the scar tissue breaks down, bringing healthy hormones which
   will rejuvenate the skin.

7. After only
   one month the stretch marks will have disappeared quote noticeably. You
   can continue this treatment for another month or two for severe stretch
   marks.

8. If you do
   not have stretch marks yet, but are pregnant and are worried about getting
   any. Rub wheat germ oil into the skin often to prevent scar tissue from
   forming in the first place. This will promote elasticity in the skin and
   prevent the microfibers from splitting.

9. Using a massage brush works
   best as it allows for even pressure to be applied to the skin when
   applying the mixture.  These have
   rubber tips which are often used to massage the scalp during showering..

Some Help Helps Tips Suggested By Gi Doctors To Treat Your Hemorrhoid

The issue of going through hemorrhoids has become a common affair in today’s time, and age is no more a factor.  The swollen blood vessels on the outer rectum and anus can be quite painful, and also cause a number of hassles in everyday life.  Bowel movements become highly troublesome, and this situation also includes other symptoms such as rectal pain, itching, bleeding, and protrusion of hemorrhoids into the anal canal. 

Though a number of treatments are made available to patients by medical science today, including surgery, you can still try some lifestyle hacks to lessen the pain that this issue causes. Both internal and external haemorrhoids cause pain and bleeding while passing stool. 

Here are some self-help tips suggested by the leading GI doctors in Durham NC that can prevent serious issues from piles or hemorrhoids.

Add fiber to your diet 

You need to step up the fiber intake in your daily diet to treat this medical issue.  Either you can do this by adding fiber rich food items to your regular diet, or seek help from fiber supplement to get 20 to 30 grams of fiber per day.  Thus, fiber becomes very important for smooth bowel movements during piles. 

Lubricate stool movement 

To make sure that passing stool is not painful or doesn’t cause bleeding, you need to lubricate this process effectively.  For this, you can consume a tablespoon of mineral oil with applesauce or yogurt during breakfast or lunch.   This allows the stool to pass through hemorrhoid smoothly. 

Never delay 

Whenever you feel the urge to pass stool, don’t delay the process at all.  Go to the bathroom immediately, instead of waiting for a right time to do so.  If you don’t do this, this leads to serious complications of constipation elevating the issue of hemorrhoids. 

The correct posture to pass stool 

While passing stool, get used to the correct posture by elevating your feet a bit with a tool as you sit on the toilet. This allows easier and smoother passage of stools. 

Over the counter products 

You can also ask your doctor to prescribe over the counter medicines and off the shelf remedies to treat this condition.  From witch hazel infused pads to soothing creams, you can try anything that is convenient for you. 

Last but not the least, a hemorrhoid doctor would also recommend patients to add more liquids to their diet to stop constipation.
