Although I'm an avowed coffee drinker, I also like sipping on tea now and then for relaxation and detoxification. Teas have caffeine, but they also have lots of antioxidants. However, the best reason to drink tea rather than coffee is for their body cleansing properties. Detoxify your system with the following types of teas.

#1: Nothing More Reliable Than Green Tea

As the subheading says, you'll never go wrong with a cup of green tea every morning. If you're a fan of tea parties, then sip some camellia sinensis from a demitasse while you nibbled on Russian tea cakes and French macaroons before dinner.

#2: A Little Sweetness Takes the Bitterness Away

Some tea drinkers like to put a cube or two of sugar into their cup. It takes the bitterness away. However, for those who don't want to put sugar into their tea, but like a little sweetness just the same, try Rooibos or Honeybush tea.Both come from South African varieties of tea. Rooibos or Red Bush has a pleasant aroma and a nutty flavor while Honeybush takes after its namesake and smells similar to honey. Commercial teas made from Honeybush has a floral scent and some hints of peach and apricot in the flavor.

#3: Chamomile and Peppermint Tea with Honey

Rather than mixing granulated sugar with your tea, why don't you try using honey or even agave instead? Diabetics often use these alternative sweeteners because they have low Glycemic Index values. For the purpose of cleansing your colon and liver, make homemade tea by blending chamomile with peppermint and adding honey to sweeten it. Chamomile as well as rose hip and dandelion can revitalize your liver and detoxify your bloodstream.Meanwhile, peppermint tea provides relief from bloating and flatulence.

Other types of tea for cleansing include Tulsi, which is decaffeinated and has a sweet minty flavor. It's been a favorite among tea drinkers in India because of its curative properties.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

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.
