Water – The Natural Remedy

It is true we humans have 75% water in our bodies. Still most people don’t drink enough water. Water benefits us in many ways.Water cleanses your body and takes your toxins out. There are many powerful reasons to drink lots of water every day, and forming the habit isn’t hard, with a little focus. The thing about it is, we don’t often focus on this habit. We end up drinking coffee, and lots of soda, and alcohol, not to mention fruit juices and teas and milk and a bunch of other possibilities. Or just as often, we don’t drink enough fluids, and we become dehydrated — and that isn’t good for our health.

I always carry a glass water bottle in my bag :D

So, the 9 powerful reasons are:

  1. Weight loss
    Water is one of the best tools for weight loss, first of all because it often replaces high-calorie drinks like soda and juice and alcohol with a drink that doesn’t have any calories. But it’s also a great appetite suppressant, and often when we think we’re hungry, we’re actually just thirsty. Water has no fat, no calories, no carbs, no sugar. Drink plenty to help your weight-loss regimen.
  2. Heart healthy
    Drinking a good amount of water could lower your risks of a heart attack. A six-year study published in the May 1, 2002 American Journal of Epidemiology found that those who drink more than 5 glasses of water a day were 41% less likely to die from a heart attack during the study period than those who drank less than two glasses.
  3. Energy
    Being dehydrated can sap your energy and make you feel tired — even mild dehydration of as little as 1 or 2 percent of your body weight. If you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated — and this can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, dizziness and other symptoms.
  4. Headache cure
    Another symptom of dehydration is headaches. In fact, often when we have headaches it’s simply a matter of not drinking enough water. There are lots of other causes of headaches of course, but dehydration is a common one.
  5. Healthy skin
    Drinking water can clear up your skin and people often report a healthy glow after drinking water. It won’t happen overnight, of course, but just a week of drinking a healthy amount of water can have good effects on your skin.
  6. Digestive problems
    Our digestive systems need a good amount of water to digest food properly. Often water can help cure stomach acid problems, and water along with fiber can cure constipation (often a result of dehydration).
  7. Cleansing
    Water is used by the body to help flush out toxins and waste products from the body.
  8. Cancer risk
    Related to the digestive system item above, drinking a healthy amount of water has also been found to reduce the risk of colon cancer by 45%. Drinking lots of water can also reduce the risk of bladder cancer by 50% and potentially reduce the risk of breast cancer.
  9. Better exercise
    Being dehydrated can severely hamper your athletic activities, slowing you down and making it harder to lift weights. Exercise requires additional water, so be sure to hydrate before, during and after exercise.

Massage with Oil

Massage therapy has been used throughout the centuries as one of the simplest forms of medical care. Today it is still widely practiced for pain management, to help alleviate emotional stress and to promote relaxation. Massage has also been shown to improve the function of the circulatory, lymphatic, immune and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injury and illness and of course other then taking oil baths, an oil massage will give you the aromatherapy effect and relaxation as well. Try it and you’ll know it how a body and head massage feels. I feel it helps me to perform better during the day and my mind just works more faster, whatever it is, it works. You can use any oil for a good massage and when visiting a spa make sure they carry only clean products.

Oils for Healing

For centuries women in Asia and South Asia have been using the healing treatments of oils for their mind and body. It gives you a good fresh and relaxed mind that a busy and stressful women might need. It even helps your body to relief stress. You can use any oil such as, coconut oil, lavender oil, olive oil or jojoba oil. Here’s what I do: I fill the tub with warm water and add a few drops of oil and then get in. For more magic turn off the lights and light your candles. You will also get the effects of aromatherapy by this :) which is so relaxing that I can’t even describe it to you.

More Benefits of taking oil bath:

  1. It clears oily substances from the skin of total body and facilitate the same to transfer heat from its inside to outside.
  2. By giving healthy cold to our body we can have good appetite and feeling of taste.
  3. Healthy cold prevailing in our body prevents many diseases like jaundice, cancer and other viral diseases.
  4. We can get healthy, deep sleep and good concentration in our daily activities.
  5. Side effects of severe diet control can be cleared by this good healthy habit.
  6. Skin and hair health can be maintained as it removes surface tension on the body.

And you can find organic, raw oils from any health food store :)

Tata Harper

I call her the queen of natural skin care and her name is Tata Harper, who is an industrial engineer and the founder of Tata Harper. She decided to create her own natural skincare line free of toxins after her stepfather had cancer and the doctors recommended products free of synthetics. The doctors at the clinic informed them that going forward her father could only use natural personal care products because of the potential harmful health risks of synthetic products. It was then she realized there were no 100% natural non –toxic skincare lines backed by clinical data and the latest in beauty technology. She wanted to create a line, which offered women preventative anti aging beauty products that would not force them to

The mother of two says, that her own skincare routine only takes a minute. You can even order a sample pack that comes with every product that you can’t live without. So, far this is the only line that I can promise that works and the results are always 100% positive.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the practice of using the natural oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots or other parts of a plant to enhance psychological and physical well-being. The inhaled aroma from these “essential” oils is widely believed to stimulate brain function. Essential oils can also be absorbed through the skin, where they travel through the bloodstream and can promote whole-body healing and there are also sprays that can be used to smell and it works the same like an oil would work. A form of alternative medicine, aromatherapy is gaining momentum. It is used for a variety of applications, including pain relief, mood enhancement and increased cognitive function. There are a wide number of essential oils available, each with its own healing properties.

I am looking for more and exciting Aromatherapy brands :) I love to carry them with me in my bag because you never know when you need to spray some on :D
