Natural remedies for sunburn

Vinegar
It can be used in several ways: either you spray vinegar straight on the affected skin or put some towels imbued with vinegar on your skin or have a bath after you put 2-3 cups of vinegar into the water. You may use apple vinegar but rose petal vinegar and lavender vinegar are more efficient.

Tea
The tannic acid from tea is an excellent remedy against sunburn. Use compresses with cold tea, obtained from 4-6 tea bags. Keep the tea bags after taking them out from tea, let them chill down until they reach the room temperature, and apply them on the affected skin. You can also have a bath after you put 6-7 tea bags into the water.

Milk
Milk compresses are very efficient. A relaxant bath after you add 3-4 liters of milk into the water is an excellent remedy against sunburn. The old method with yogurt facial masks is efficient. Just apply the yogurt on affected skin.

aloe vera
Gels and creams with aloe vera temper very quickly the pain caused by the sunburn. It is indicated to keep aloe vera leaves into your fridge.

Oat flour
A 30 minutes bath in cold water, in which you added two cups of oat flour, could be a good remedy. You can mix eggs and oat flour and obtain a natural cream. Apply it on the sunburn.

Aerated salt
Take a 30 minutes bath in warm water, in which you added two cups of dissolved aerated salt. You can also spray a solution obtained from ¾ water and ¼ aerated salt on the affected skin.

Essential oil
Lavender oil and camomile oil have the most efficient effects. Add a few drops of oil into a spray with water and spray on your affected skin. Also, you can add 10-12 oil drops into the bath water. Use it carefully with children. Beware of eye contact. Do not ingest the oils.

Corn starch
There are several ways of corn starch usage in order to temper sunburn pain:
-cream – mix corn starch with water
-solution – mix corn starch with water
-a bath – dissolve a cup of corn starch or ½ a cup of corn starch + ½ a cup of aerated salt in the water

Pregnant?

3:36 AM | Labels:

Among the thousands of pregnancy questions, the most important to answer is this question: “What should a pregnant woman eat?”

This article will provide you advice in alimentation, and not only, during pregnancy. These advices are medical approved.
Let’s answer this pregnancy question!
________________________________________________
  •    Month 2
The baby’s body is taking shape, so calcium is very important this month for his harmonious development and health. Calcium helps bones to develop and baby’s teeth, prevents the risk of hypertension and postpartum depression. So, it is the most indicated moment to renew the calcium reserve.
Calcium rich foods are: milk, cheese, yoghurt, fruits, dry vegetables (lentil, pea, bean), fresh vegetables (spinach, cabbage). In general, the body uses the calcium from lactate products more efficiently.
    
        2nd month menu:
Breakfast: - one glass of milk or a cup of tea
  - one yogurt
  - one orange
  - two bread slices with butter and jam
Snack: - one apple
             - cheese
Lunch: - cabbage salad
            - turkey roast
            - potato mash
            - fruits salad
Snack: - yogurt with breadcrumbs
Dinner: - a slice of ham
             - pasta with grated parmesan
             - green salad
             - apple compote
________________________________________________
  • Month 3
You need to accumulate energy for your baby’s harmonious development- lipids successfully accomplish this role. Baby’s necessities grow, but that doesn’t mean that you have to “eat for two”. Lipids have a very important role in cerebral development of the fetus. Opt for products which are rich in essential fatty acids.
Lipid-rich foods are: butter, sour cream, canola oil, soy oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, fatty fish (kipper, sardine).
    
        3rd month menu:
Breakfast: - one glass of milk
                   - grapefruit juice
                   - whole bread and tartinabil cheese
Snack: - drinkable yogurt
Lunch: - dressed salad with olive oil
            - calf roast with mushrooms
            - french fries
            - ice-cream
Snack: - pudding
Dinner: - fresh salad
             - grill fish
             - cow cheese with honey
________________________________________________
  • Month 4
The baby develops and the amount of blood from his body increases. This month iron becomes very important. Iron is a precious ally: reduces anemia risk, tiredness and it also reduces the risk of abortion. Iron from animal sources is much better assimilated than from vegetable sources.
Iron rich foods are: liver, kidney, red meat, dry vegetables, green vegetables (spinach), egg yolk.
  
        4th month menu:
Breakfast: - one glass of milk or yogurt
                   - one fruit or one fresh fruit juice
                   - whole bread with butter and honey
Snack: - fruit compote

             - cow cheese with milled nuts
Snack: - boiled eggs
            - orange juice
Dinner: - calf liver
              - boiled vegetables
              - dry fruits
________________________________________________
  • Month 5
At this stage of pregnancy you plump more and more and your baby takes advantage of all the nutrients provided by you. Carbohydrates contribute to fetus’s tissue development and give you the necessary energy.
Carbohydrate-rich foods are: sugar, cereals, dry vegetables, rice, pasta, potatoes, chickpea, lentil.
    
        5th month menu:
Breakfast: - one bowl of cereals and milk
                   - whole bread with honey
                   - one grapefruit
Snack: - one yogurt
            - one banana

Dinner: - tomatoes salad with ham slices and cheese
             - peach compote
________________________________________________
  • Month 6
As your baby grows, your stomach and intestine are compressed. You should not eat much, but frequently. Mostly due to proteins your baby managed to make reserves and renew the cells.
Protein-rich foods are: meat, fish, eggs, dairies.
    
        6th month menu
Breakfast: - one glass of milk
                   - whole bread with butter and honey
                   - one orange

________________________________________________

                               Every single month of pregnancy is very important and you must take care of yourself in order to take care of your baby but these are the most important five months of pregnancy, with some basic information, and a separate menu for each month. I tried to answer one of the most frequent pregnancy questions. Hope this helps!

Echinacea, a natural substitute for drugs

1:27 PM | Labels:

According to recent studies of American researchers, Echinacea is the best selling stimulant of immune system. Due to its immuno-stimulating and anti-inflammatory properties, it increases the defensive activity of human body. This plant has a powerful action on nervous system and immune system, mobilizing every defense agent against infections, influenza and even against tumor development.
The fastest and most efficient way of administration is the tincture, administrated three times per day with a coffee spoon, on empty stomach, for 30 days, every four months. Echinacea is a natural substitute for antibiotics. It goes the way of interferon, inhibiting the development and reproduction of viruses and other intracellular parasites. It also cleans the lymphatic system, stimulates the forming of leukocytes which prevent the development of malign tumor, shorten flu duration and considerably increases the resistance against H.I.V. infections. Echinacea preparation has immunomodulatory, bacillicide and antiviral properties. These are the most efficient blood purifier. Other benefic effects have been registered in bacterial diseases of skin, prostate gland, psoriasis, acne, digestive system and cardiovascular system.
