Using Chinese Herbs to Fight Hair Thinning, Slow Hair Growth, and Damaged Hair

While many spend a fortune on designate medications, chemical hair loss formulas, and hair restoration treatments, some of the greatest remedies for hair loss, stunted hair growth, and hair thinning are found in the Earth or already in your cupboard. Now more than ever, scientists, chemists, and even laymen are seeing to herbs, botanicals, and roots to medicine balding, hair loss, hair fall, thinning hair, damaged hair, and dry scalps. They are seeing so much, that many new medicines contain plant compounds that have been chemically altered. But why spend time on plants that have been manufactured and manipulated in a lab? Instead, take benefit of the whole herbs, because herbs control better as a whole, not as a part. No culture has been better at doing this than in traditional Chinese medicine.

[b]Catmint[/b]

The Chinese medicine has long been notable for creating flourishing tonics that increase circulation, disinfect the scalp and stimulate hair growth. Chinese medicine has successfully found that many herbs can mask balding, restore blood flow to the scalp, sacrifice graying, and add life and vitality to thin, limp hair. Below you will find some traditional examples of medicines that you can use from your cupboard or local condition food store to protect your crown and lengthen or thicken your hair. While everyone's hair is distinct and needs distinct nutrients to thrive, and these herbs cannot erase dead hair follicles, you may be surprised by the turn in your widespread hair's health, thickness, and strength.

Herbal method #1:
Rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar and sage tea. Middle age Chinese women swear by this hair rinse after applying a natural shampoo of castile soap. They utter that it can make the hair grow. If you suffer from a dry scalp, add catmint or chamomile infusions to your sage tea while the final rinse to help with itchiness. Although not often concept off, a dry, damaged and flaky scalp is a breeding ground for fungi, a source of hair loss.

Herbal method #2:
Any composition or product with aloe, nettles, stinging nettle, birch leaves and watercress are exquisite blood and skin cleaners. Charm 4 Ashes, a holistic, all natural organic hair care company, specializes in creating products using traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, West African, and Malayian medicines. Often, many of their thickening or lengthening formulas contain aloe vera, nettle leaves, birch, varietal teas, and much more. A particularly sufficient theory at fighting hair thinning and creating more hair vitality, length, and drive is their Adp Chinese Herbal System. This theory is a unblemished hair care regimen that focuses on massage oils while adding a Chinese herbal scalp cream, shampoo, and conditioner. Typically, you can find their products online at any their Usa site discoverb4acom, their United Kingdom site at mybeauty4ashescom or their Canadian site at myb4acom. To increase effectiveness of the system, try this Chinese tonic as well while using the system: drink 1 tbsp. Of juice of stinging nettle, birch leaves and watercress, mixed in a glass of water to cleanse the blood. Blood purification is very considerable to remove anything internal that could be hindering your hair from thoughprovoking the nutrients it needs. Just as potassium is considerable for regulating insulin, which fights weight loss, things you may not be getting can hinder wholesome skin or nails.

Herbal method #3:
Rosemary extract may help forestall hair loss. To shampoo hair, integrate steep 2 tbsp. Rosemary in 4 oz. Hot water and add to a natural shampoo, such as Aubrey Organics, or more advanced, Charm 4 Ashes Chinese Herbal Shampoo.

Herbal method #4:
Massage scalp ordinarily with tinctures of stinging nettle, birch, horsetail and rosemary for hair increase stimulation, to disinfect the scalp and to increase blood circulation. Rosemary or stinging-nettle may help combat dandruff, a source of hair loss. Put a large handful of rosemary into a pan and cover with water. Simmer for 10-15 minutes and leave to cool. Strain the composition straight through a sieve into a jug containing a few drops of any oil. Use this as a rinse after you have washed your hair with a very mild shampoo. Ultimately rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Remember, natural ingredients may take longer, but will have long lasting effects without side effects. All the time opt for natural products, instead of chemicals because despite some chemical products containing herbal extracts, the succeed of herbs is canceled when chemicals are applied. Just as white refined sugar can cancel the benefits of a warm Jasmine Green Tea, chemicals in hair care products do the same to Chinese herbs.

Natural Remedies For Anxiety

Given that there has been a large amount of literature that has been created with regard to comprehension anxiety disorders, there is also an equal amount of literature that has been created with regard to treating it. Among the separate methods by which anxiety disorders are being treated, a majority of them advocate using medication that have been industrialized to deal with the symptoms of anxiety disorders, along with anti-depressants, relaxants, beta-blockers, and benzodiazepines. However, in new years, and given the popularity of natural remedies, a amount of natural remedies to treat anxiety disorders have also been developed. Below are some of the most common natural remedies that have been used to treat anxiety disorders.

[b]Catnip[/b]

Some Natural Remedies

Most of the natural remedies that have been formulated focus on how people who suffer from anxiety disorders can relax and calm themselves to ease the debilitating symptoms of anxiety disorders. Some of these consist of doing leisure and breathing exercises, which can help people focus either on their breathing or the practice they are doing in order to divert their attentiveness from the fear that they would feel if they had an anxiety attack.

With regard to natural substances that they can take, there are also a amount of herbal medicines that have been proven to help alleviate the symptoms of anxiety disorders. Some of these consist of kava, valerian, California poppy, hops, passionflower, lemon balm, catnip, lavender, and chamomile.

However, people suffering from anxiety disorders who are reasoning of taking these natural remedies would do well to consult their physician first. This is because doing so can ensure that they would be taking the remedies that would absolutely be able to help them with their anxiety disorder. This is especially true for some of the herbal medicines, as some of them need to be taken under the administration of a physician because some of them have side effects.

There has been much study done in comprehension anxiety disorders and the separate ways to treat them. Among these treatments, one that is becoming very common is the use of natural remedies that consist of doing definite exercises and taking some herbal medication, which have been proven to help alleviate some symptoms of anxiety disorders. However, people using these remedies also need curative administration so that they can be assured that they are using the remedy that is right for them and their type of anxiety disorder.

The Best Cat Toys

As a cat owner, you have probably spent a lot of money on a new toy for your cat only to seek that your feline friend is not interested. Cats are notoriously difficult to please, which, coupled with their intelligence, means that it can be difficult to find cat toys that will be enjoyed for longer than five minutes. If you are finding for toys to stimulate your cat, here are some that you may like to consider.

[b]Catnip[/b]

Wand and Fishing Toys

They may seem quite easy and unappealing to a human eye, but cats do not seem to tire of swiping things with their paws and hunting small pieces of fur. Of course, a cat's natural instinct is to stalk and hunt. Therefore, if your cat is spending all day indoors he, or she, has no outlet for these tendencies.

Wand or fishing toys consist of a easy stick with a small piece of fur or some feathers attached to the end of a piece of string. The best kind of wand toy is one that is lightweight, as your cat will find this more enjoyable. This type of toy is unquestionably worth investing in, as not only will your cat collect huge amounts of pleasure from it, but it also allows you to spend some quality playtime with your pet.

Balls

Another relatively uncostly choice is balls, which is probably just as well as they can unquestionably come to be lost. However, like the wand toy, a ball allows a cat to practice its hunting and pouncing instincts. Typically, most cats prefer a ball that jingles or makes someone else type of noise. Playing with a ball is a easy game that can be played alone, which means that your cat can be kept stimulated while you are out. Alternatively, of course, when you are at home, you can join in, too.

Cloth Toys

Although I am an advocate of easy toys, a cloth toy that does nothing, will not entertain a cat for very long. Generally, a cat prefers a toy that moves. However, if you would like to purchase small cloth toys, ones containing catnip are highly recommended. When finding for catnip toys, you may like to think ones that are refillable, as the scent will not last long. However, typically these types of toy can be bought very cheaply, so you may find it less time attractive to buy new toys rather than find fresh catnip.

Other Small Toys

More small toys that I would advise are ones that are set on coiled spring, as this is astonishing for batting and swiping. You are likely to find some scratching posts that have these kinds of toys attached; this is especially attractive to the cat and will encourage him, or her, to use the scratching post as well as the springy toys.

Laser Pointers

Laser pointers are some of the newest cat toys to immerge, but whether they will appeal to your cat depends upon the individual temperament of your pet. Those who do enjoy laser pointer toys unquestionably love them. On the other hand, there are cats that could not be less interested. The good news is that a laser pointer can be bought relatively cheaply, so it need not cost a fortune to seek whether or not it seems like fun to your cat.

Owners should never point lasers directly at the cat. Make sure that the laser is directed onto the floor. If your cat is concerned he, or she, will chase the laser nearby in an effort to catch it.

Of course, these are just some of the toys that you may like to think for your cat. There are many more options available, so it is easy to ensure that your pet is never bored.

Getting Buggy in Your Garden Patch? - See Herb Garden Plants That Double As Natural Bug Repellents

One of the major concerns for the herb gardener is how to protect plants from insects, plant diseases, and even animals such as deer from nibbling away at their prize herbs.

Companion plants are the natural bug repellents for the home herb garden. They not only aid other plants to grow better, but they deter insects, disease, and animals from eating anything in close proximity. In so doing, they protect your plants without you having to use expensive insecticides which enable you to stay organic. This is particularly important since much of what you grow you probably intend to eat.

Catnip Plants

There are many herbs and flowers that act as companion plants. While you can certainly experiment, start with plants that are native to your area that insects already recognize.

Some of the more popular companion plants used as natural bug repellents are:

Anise - attracts wasps that will devour aphids that attack nearby plants.

Basil - repels flies and mosquitoes.

Borage -- repels tomato hornworms, Japanese beetles, squash bugs, and cabbageworms, but attracts bees and wasps.

Catnip - repels mice, ants, aphids, flea beetles, and weevils.

Chives - drives away Japanese beetles and carrot rust fly.

Chyrsanthemums - kills root nematodes, and when flowering, repels Japanese beetles.

Coriander - repels aphids, spider mites, and potato beetle.

Dill - repels aphids and spider mites.

Elderberry - when made into a spray from the leaves, will kill aphids, carrot root fly, cucumber beetles, and peach tree borers.

Garlic - repels aphids.

Geranium - repels cabbage worms and Japanese beetles.

Hyssop - deters garden pests from cabbage and grapes.

Lavender - repels fleas and moths.

Mint - deters white cabbage moths, ants, rodents, flea beetles, fleas, and aphids.

Mole Plant - repels moles and mice.

Nasturtium - chases away the squash bug and whitefly.

Peppermint - repels white cabbage moths, aphids, and flea beetles.

Petunias - repels the asparagus beetle, leafhoppers, tomato worms, and Mexican bean beetles.

Radishes - deters cucumber beetles and rust flies.

Rue - will repel aphids, flies, slugs, snails, flea beetles, and Japanese beetles.

Soybeans - repels chinch bugs and Japanese beetles.

Thyme - deters cabbage worms.

Some of the herbs listed here can be made into teas and powders that can be applied directly on herb plants or soaked into the soil. However, we suggest that you consult a garden guide on this approach as some herbs can be toxic in this form and could hurt pets and children.

And finally, companion plants are compatible with some herb and vegetable plants, but not friendly with others. Research companion plants first before you plant and you will have a healthy and bug-free garden every season.

Plants That Repel Mosquitoes

Like mosquitoes? Well, like it or not in just a few months the pests will be returning fresh and ready to bite away at every human being they can reach.

That's why if you're in the process of early preparations for the upcoming season's garden consider planting a few selections that are known to repel the annoying insect. Not only will they ward off mosquitoes but doing so will prevent the use of chemicals which are terrible not only for the environment but harmful to people.

Catnip Plants

Now, it's interesting how the warding off works.

It seems to be that like people, insects stay away from things with scents they despise. When this occurs they tend to go the other way. Therefore, if you have certain plants growing close to the house near windows and doors there's a good chance it will put up an invisible screen in the path of your local mosquitoes.

Another way to use the plants is to make oils from them spreading it on your skin. Just remember some people have allergic reactions to various types of herbs and fruits so if you've never been exposed to some varieties, it's a good idea to try the oil in an isolated spot and see how it reacts.

Furthermore, unlike chemical repellents, natural repellents ware off much faster and need to be reapplied frequently, sometimes every half an hour to an hour.

A trick is to apply the oils to clothing or maybe even wear some of the branches or flowers from some species. If you try this, be cautious as some oils may stain so if you are worried about a particular layer, just like applying to skin try it out on an isolated section.

With regards to growing the plants realize some, like citronella, the top plant used for fighting off mosquitoes, grow in more tropical areas.

Other examples include the following:

Catnip
• Rosemary
• Marigolds
• Eucalyptus
• Cedar
• Peppermint

5 Fast-Growing Ground Cover Choices For Difficult Locations

There are times when any gardener needs a quick growing type plant for fast exterior of bare soil in beds or on a sloped bank. Possibly you have just started a new perennial bed, and would like a way to fill in the bare spots until the perennials have reached their mature growth. Or you have planted trees and need a ground cover that can tolerate the shade below its branches.

[b]Catmint[/b]

Areas of bare ground can be transformed quite swiftly with a rug of low growing plants. Bare soil is a magnet for weeds, which if allowed, can become established and set seed very quickly. On banks, erosion is a more serious qoute from both wind and rain. Planting these spots with fast growing cover plants not only solves these two inherent problems, but makes areas more attractive.

Variegated periwinkle (Vinca major) is one of the best choices for a large area that needs a fast growing and vigorous ground cover. With its white and green perennial leaves and its pretty blue-violet flowers, it does need to be sited with care since it will spread very quickly. Long shoots grow almost overnight, and will re-root where they touch the soil. These hardy plants flower best with some sun, but will also grow well in shade where the variegated foliage adds a light touch. One warning - this can become invasive swiftly if not controlled.

Serbian bellflower (Campanula poscharskyana) is other good selection where a fast growing ground cover is required. With clusters of lavender-blue star shaped flowers, it shows well. This plant spreads by inexpressive runners, so should not be placed where it can overwhelm other less vigorous growing plants. You can assuredly chop off the outer sections of the clump with a spade.

Blue catmint (Nepeta faassenii) is the third selection for an fast growing easy-cover plant. It has aromatic foliage of small silvery gray leaves and sprays of pale lavender-blue flowers. It does prefer a sunny spot, but will tolerate some shade. This plant should be placed where it can sprawl over the edges of a raised bed or edge a path where its scent can be released as it is brushed against.

Prostrate junipers such as Blue rug (Juniperus squamata) are other good selection for ground covers. With spreading ground-hugging branches covered with silvery-blue needle-like leaves, this one looks good all year. It will grow in almost any conditions, and is particularly suitable for planting on banks and slopes.

Spreading roses (Rosa sp.) are very beneficial and attractive ways to cover large areas of ground. With masses of flowers, they form a prostrate rug that looks gorgeous most of the summer. The long prickly stems rapidly spread so plant these where you want to control soil erosion. Many of the new varieties of blanketing roses are problem free and very hardy. They look particularly good tumbling over a wall or trailing down a sloped spot. Many varieties are available, in colors fluctuating from white through pinks and peach to vivid reds.

Choose any of these five quick ground covers for soil stabilization, weed control or just for aesthetic motion in a difficult spot.
