10 Natural Antibiotics That Our Ancestors Used Instead Of Pharmaceuticals

The excessive usage of antibiotics in the past years reached its maximum. Due to this, many “super bacteria” appeared – bacteria that are antibiotic resistant and evolve faster than scientists are able to find medicine against them. It is estimated that in the future bacteria will be at the top of the food chain.

The antibiotics sold in pharmacies have been developed in the 40s. Before that, people used only natural medicine, i.e. food or herbs which helped in the fight against virus infections and common diseases. The global holistic medicine still uses many of these natural antibiotics. Continue reading

3 Energetic Blockages That Can Lead to Physical Heart Pain

The best way to keep your energy field clear as well doesn’t involve any kind of divination or spiritual tools.  It ultimately comes down to the way you process and deal with your emotions in the present moment.  When you bottle up thoughts and feelings, it gets stored in your energy centers (chakras) and can cause physical complications in the body.  The negative health effects of stress and anxiety are endless.

In fact, 90% of all disease is either caused by or aggravated by stress.  Heart attacks, blood pressure,  hypertension, and even strokes have all been strongly linked to stress.  What we are going to explore briefly in this article is how stress is caused on a spiritual/energetic level, and how you can prevent it in the future.

I’m not suggesting you stop taking your heart medications (if you are on any), but I have learned through experience with my own heart issues that the cause is often not physical but emotional and spiritual.  Here are 3 extremely common energetic blockages that cause heart pain and heart issues.

1) Suppressing emotionsshutterstock_121986982

There are a lot of people who teach that letting go of emotions is a sign of spiritual advancement.  In reality, embracing, experiencing, and learning from emotions is the most healthy way to deal with them.

Don’t let your mind convince you it is more “conscious” to pretend like something doesn’t affect you, and don’t let your ego put up a wall that convinces you it’s not a big deal.

Let your emotions be there, and look to see what the cause of them is.  Fully feel them and analyze them. The cause may turn out to be something silly, but it’s always important to look and see instead of disregard and bury.

When you bury emotions, they store up in your physical body and cause things like depression, anxiety, anger, and stress, all of which impact the health of your heart.

2) Not communicating

When you don’t communicate what you mean, those thoughts get stored in your energy field and cause tension and stress within your body.

Stress and tension in the body leads to nervous system burn out, an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, and adrenal fatigue, which puts extra stress on your heart.  Don’t hold on to thoughts that are making you stressful and anxious.  Communicate them fully.When you communicate, don’t beat around the bush.

Say what you mean.  When you don’t say what you actually mean, you are actually hurting the other person by lying to them.  You are hurting yourself by holding on to your true feelings, and you are preventing the situation from being resolved because it’s not entirely clear what it is that has to be resolved.

Say what you mean, but say it for the purpose of providing energetic clarity.  Don’t use this as an excuse to be abusive, but give yourself full permission to communicate how you really feel.

3) Not forgiving

Holding on to feelings and resentment aggravates the energy center of your heart because it is the center associated with compassion, understanding, and love.  For your own sake, find it within yourself to energetically release any resent or hate you have towards people who have wronged you in your past.

You may not realize you are still holding on to it until you feel the weight of its release.  Maybe it is something a teacher said to you in high school, or something one of your old friends did to you back in elementary school.

What it is, either communicate it to them (if you can) or set aside some time to fully allow yourself to feel it, see it, set any pride aside, and forgive them for it in your heart.

These solutions may sound too simple to be true, but try it out for yourself and see how it works.  If you are holding a grudge against someone, tell them right away before it causes you health problems.  If you are experiencing an emotion, don’t convince yourself that it’s better to not feel it or to not give it attention.  And if you resent someone who has hurt you in the past, release yourself from that.

These are very simple solutions to daily stress and anxiety, and therefore of heart issues.  If you feel something bottle up in the energy center of your heart region, don’t ignore it.  Take a look and see what’s there. 

How to Make The Best Natural Turmeric Face Mask

In India, turmeric is called the yellow gold and is one of the most valuable and most healing spices in the world. But not only in the kitchen. Ayurveda recommends turmeric to be used in cosmetics as well. People already now a lot about the benefits of the herbal powders for face beauty and in Ayurveda we call them UBTAN.

Turmeric is a common ingredient in Ubtan and I will tell you a very simple recipe for Turmeric face peeling which is more effective and healing than any expensive peeling from the store.

Turmeric-paste

Exfoliation with turmeric will deeply clean your skin, remove all dead cells and other dirt from your skin, it will help the blood circulation and relives acne, your skin will glow and it increases the natural Ph value.

Why buy expensive exfoliants with artificial additives when you can make a much better one at home. This is why I love having workshops on the topic of Ayurved beauty because I want to inspire you to make your own products for skin care, at your home and very cheap.

And skin care should not only be practiced for beauty but also for keeping our  organism healthy. Because whatever we put on our skin, in 20 min it is already in our blood stream.

Using cosmetics we can protect ourselves but also induce many misbalances in our body. And this is why we offer you this exclusive natural cosmetics.

Turmeric Face Peeling Mask

  • ½ tbsp turmeric
  • 2 tbsp flour (Vata – oatmeal, Oitta – chickpea flour, Kapha – barley flour)

turmeric pasteThe powder needs to be mixed with a little water before use in order to get a mixture which you will put on your face. Massage it for minute or two on your face and neck. And then wash your face. Instead of water you can use some herbal oils (almond, oat, hazelnut, coconut etc.).

Have in mind that the natural yellow color of the turmeric will give great tone to your face and that after this treatment you have to carefully wash your face in order not to have yellow blemishes. This is why this is recommended to be done before taking a shower.

People who have dry skin may add a bit of elderberry blossom. People with oily skin may add a bit of coriander powder or lavender blossom or a bit of fresh lemon juice. People who have normal skin may add a bit of rose powder.

I suggest you to try Ubtan and if it appeals to you make some more powder in advance and keep it in your bathroom and every morning take 2-3 tbsp and a bit of water and wash your face with this mixture.

Here’s What You Need To Look Out For The Next Time You Buy Bottled Water

We don’t generally encourage the purchase of bottled water. Manufacturing the bottles is awful for the environment (and we think the environment is awesome!) and the water is usually just tap water from wherever it was bottled.

shutterstock_352459508

Often times, bottled water companies steal water in mass quantities from arid communities that live in drought. That’s no fun. That said, I do always keep a pack of bottled water in my car.

You never know when you might be stranded somewhere and a little water could mean the difference between life and death.

But when I’m stocking my emergency water supply, I check the label on the bottom of the bottles.

Why it’s important to check the labels:

The letters you see in the recycle symbol, like PP and HDP, can tell you a lot about the plastic itself. This is what you need to know:

PET or PETE

The plastic bottles may have leaked metals and chemicals into the water that impact hormonal balance in your body.

HDP or HDPE

Your water is likely the safest out of any type of plastic. it’s the least likely to leak harmful substances into your water.

3V or PVC

Don’t drink it. They release toxic chemicals that impact your hormonal balance.

LDPE

That’s weird, because LDPE is only used to make plastic bags.

PS

The plastic can leak carcinogenic substances. It’s usually used when producing coffee cups and fast food casings. Also known as Styrofoam.

PC, or simply not labeled at all

It’s likely to contain BPA, an endocrine disruptor. This is most common in sports water bottles and some food containers.

The Incredible Health Benefits of Drinking Matcha Tea That Will Change Your Life

Green Matcha tea is taking the healthy living world by storm. Matcha Lattes for instance have made their way on the menu of trendy coffee shops and big franchises such as Starbucks. The green brew is making a big name outside its old traditional ritual setting and there’s a healthy good reason for that. But what is exactly Matcha tea and why is it becoming a bit of a present day urban legend in the Tea world?

Origins and the Traditional Landscape

The tea originated from China around the 10th century and became the staple ingredient in Japanese tea ceremonies from around the 12th century. It is revered for its remarkable health properties, visual appeal and for its distinct flavour and texture. Matcha is made from the Tencha tea leaf, most popularly grown in the southern half of Japan, and which is then de-stemmed, de-veined and stone-ground to a very fine dark green powder.shutterstock_344185937

Traditionally the tea is prepared in a ceremonial setting called ‘Chanoyu’. Essentially the powder is placed in beautiful hand-painted bowls, mixed with warm water and whisked with a traditional bamboo whisk.

Of course, the tradition follows a carefully crafted set of ritualistic steps and ‘etiquettes’. It is also normally made in two forms – Usucha and Koicha. Continue reading
