1. Sonzy Says...

 

Hi! I know you were wondering where have I been,

I know we missed an issue in between

But February has been a period so lean,

That I was tied up as much as I was keen...

 

I am struggling to stay regular. My granny had a major surgery

last week and I was living life in between house and the

hospital. So this week, as I begin to catch up with my schedule,

I present you some valuable tips and remedies in form of health

queries I answered on one of the forums. You may identify with

these problems as your own, and I sincerely hope they make good

reading. This issue, is just to fill the gaps. The normal

nature cure format will follow from the next edition onwards.

I need your blessings.

 

Wish You Good Health , - Sonzy.

2. How is cinnamon use in diabetic treatment? - Asked by Joseph

 

Ans : Cinnamon boosts insulin activity. You may want to

read a little more about this in the book, Food - Your Miracle

Medicine, written by Jean Carper (1993 Harper Perennial).

 

Some studies have shown that cinnamon helps people with diabetes

metabolize sugar better. In adult-onset (Type II) diabetes, the

pancreas produces insulin, but the body can't use it efficiently

to break down blood sugar. Researchers discovered that cinnamon

reduces the amount of insulin necessary for glucose metabolism.

" One-eighth of a teaspoon of cinnamon triples insulin efficiency "

say James A. Duke, Ph.D., a botanist retired from the U.S. Dept.

of Agriculture and author of The CRC Handbook of Medicinal Herbs

Dr. Duke suggest that people with adult-onset diabetes discuss

cinnamon's benefits with their doctor. Taking 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon

of ground cinnamon with each meal may help control blood sugar

levels.

3. Ques : I am e-mailing you today to find out if there may be a

cure for som marks that have recently appeared on my thighs that

may be stretch marks but also appear like a bruise under my skin

I do have other stretch marks and they don't look anything like

the ones I am referring to. If you could kindly give me

suggestions to a remedy for this problem that I have become

very self-concious of I would greatly appreciate it.

Asked by Sheryl Douglas.

 

Ans : Dear Sheryl, Thanks for choosing me to answer your

question. Bruises and stretch marks have a lot of cures in the

herbal encyclopoedia. Here are my suggestions :

 

I suspect that these stretch marks and bruises are because of

impurities in blood or maybe a skin rash. Are you allergic to

something. If yes, don't take those things. The suggestions I

list below, you can try 2-3 of these at a time. I would

personally start by taking Sandalwood, Tulsi and applying rose

oil.

 

Herbs : Sandalwood, Papaya, Aloes, Tulsi (Basil), Khus.

Essential Oils: Rose Oil, and Almond Oil.

 

Let me give you each one's uses ....

 

Sandalwood : Sandalwood is one of the most expensive, most

exotic, and most aromatic plants known to humans. Grown mostly

in the southern parts of India, Sandalwood is a very highly

revered plant both in the medicinal world and in Hindu culture.

Its seductive fragrance is considered to have many curative

properties. Sandalwood has a use in treating most skin

problems. It is a cooling agent, stimulant, and blood purifier.

 

Papaya : Every part of the Papaya tree has a medicinal use.

Papaya contains the alkaloids carpaine and carposide, an

injection of which is used as a cardiac tonic. The enzyme

papain, found in Papaya, helps digest protein. It dissolves

cancerous cells and tissues. Papaya helps in deep cleansing

and quickly breaks down dead skin cells. The Papaya fruit is

popular in treating many skin problems like pimples, wrinkles,

psoriasis, and eczema.

 

Aloe : Aloes has been in use for over 7,000 years. Aloes is

anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and is extremely effective

in treating several skin disorders. It is an effective moist

-urizer and helps in anti-aging, cleansing, and softening the

skin. Aloes inhibits the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase

which is responsible for skin discoloration. Aloes removes dead

skin cells and stimulates formation of new cells, tightening

of the skin, and making the skin look young.

 

Tulsi (Ocimum Sanctum or Holy Basil) :

Popularly know as basil, Tulsi is an extremely aromatic and

stimulating herb. It has many antibacterial, anti-stress,

anti-fungal, and antibiotic properties. Like sandalwwood,

the aroma of tulsi is conducive to meditation. It is used in

many skin treatments, and is particularly helpful in smooth

-ening and softening the skin. Leaves and seeds are used

to treat skin problems;

 

Khus (Andropogan Muricatus):

Widely used in aroma therapy and perfumes, Khus is a cooling

agent, tonic, and blood purifier. It has a very cooling

effect on the skin, and is used in treating many skin disorders

 

Rose Oil :

Rose oil is a cooling agent and is excellent for tired skin. It

is a good source of vitamins C and E. Rose oil has a very

pleasant fragrance to it. It removes dead cells from the skin,

and provides relief from burns. It slows the aging process and

balances the skin's chemistry. Rose oil is used for cleansing,

toning, moisturizing, and nourishing of the skin.

 

Almond Oil :

Almond oil is an emollient, anti-pruritic, and laxative.

It makes a very good nourishing skin cream. Its smooth massaging

action on the skin helps absorb dead skin cells and removes

superficial hair. It is very useful for softening the skin and

is the best base oil for any kind of massage.
