Natural Remedy for UTI and Hemorrhoids

Our bodies are like machines. They run on fuel, which is food with the right nutrients, and can bog down when it is overused or ill maintained. Just like machines, our bodies also produce waste products. Our excretory system is one of the most important systems in our bodies, working hand in hand with the digestive and endocrine systems.

If we can not get rid of our wastes regularly, we accumulate toxins in our bodies. These toxins later on can cause diseases and weaken our immune system. To flush out these toxins, we are advised to drink plenty of water, exercise and eat a healthy diet.

However, our fast-paced lifestyle and the presence of pollutants in our environment interfere with our health. Sometimes, we experience urination and defecation problems, including UTI and hemorrhoids.

Drinking lots of water can help ease both problems. Water facilitate urination and defecation, which flushes out toxins. Drinking tea or coffee also achieves the same result, but they deplete our bodies with fluids that we needed to maintain systemic balance.

One of the best UTI treatments is to drink pure cranberry juice every day. The best hemorrhoid treatment, on one hand, is to eat fiber-rich foods every day. Fiber-rich foods would include grains, legumes, nuts, fruits and green leafy vegetables.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
