handmade soaps

April 15th, 2009

Many soaps available in the stores these days are actually made of detergents which are petroleum-based products like gasoline and kerosene. They tend to leave skin feeling dry, itchy and tight. Some ingredients in mass-marketed soaps have even been proven harmful to health as they can cause severe irritations in some people.

If you suffer from skin conditions or have sensitive skin, it’s time you switch to handmade soaps to find immediate relief. These soaps are milder and contain glycerin that helps draw moisture to the skin and combat dryness. They do not contain potentially harmful chemicals. They are ideal for both face and body and will leave you with clean, soft and nourished skin.

discount vitamins

April 15th, 2009

Living a healthy life should not be a reason to empty your pocket. Although many vitamins and supplements are sold at exorbitant prices, there are also discount vitamins available at much lower costs. The reason why some giant drug companies peg their medicine prices very high, particularly vitamins, is to cover their marketing costs and advertisements. But multivitamins are actually all the same.

One cannot say that one brand is better than the other because all of them have the same components. The only differences are the “side-ingredients” that come along with each such as ginseng extracts, fortification with Vitamin E and having some antioxidant properties like flavonoids.

Damiana

April 14th, 2009

The Mayan people of Central America believed in a traditional aphrodisiac that is also considered valuable as a general tonic for people with mild depression. Damiana has a strongly aromatic, slightly bitter taste. Its leaves are used in Mexico as a substitute for tea and to flavor liqueurs.

Damiana leaves, drunk in the form of tea or smoked like tobacco, relaxes a user and gives a subtle high with sexual overtones, somewhat like that of marijuana. The tonic factor is said to be restorative for the nervous system which is partly due to the constituent thymol. Damiana is also used by women with painful and delayed periods. It is also used to cure headaches connected to menstruation.
