Relieve Constipation with Aloe Vera
Menstruating or pregnant women should not use Aloe Vera, in any form, to relieve constipation Aloe Vera is a wonder herb that has been around for thousands of years. It has been used for both external and internal problems ? skin rashes, burns, ulcers, internal bleeding. It also promotes bowel movements, which helps to relieve constipation. I have found that some people are allergic to Aloe Vera. So if you show a rash or have any other undesirable symptoms, don't use it. Aloe is an astringent, acts to tighten muscles, and has purgative and laxative action ? dispels fecal matter that has collected in your colon. There are many aloe vera products to choose from. For best results, choose an aloe that is close to that of fresh organic aloe whole leaf. Using Aloe Vera Gel to Relieve Constipation Take two tablespoons of pure aloe vera gel mixed with apple juice. You can use other types of juices that fit your taste. If you use aloe juice drink, mix 1/3 of aloe juice with 2/3 of a juice you like just before bedtime or just on awakening. Or, if you can handle the taste of the juice, drink a glass of Aloe Vera juice as soon as you wake up and one just before bedtime. This will promote a bowel movement when you wake up. Relieve Constipation with Aloe Vera Capsules Aloe Vera can also be taken in capsules. Because aloe can have a strong griping action, it is best to take this herb with a calmative herb such as turmeric. Aloe can also be mixed with powdered fennel seeds. But, you can take aloe as described above and see how you react to it. I know many people who take it without turmeric and they don't have any side effects The best aloe vera is, of course, fresh aloe gel from a leaf. Look for an aloe that has been hand and not machine pressed. When aloe has been machine pressed, it can be contaminated with the yellow sap that is contained in the outer skin of the aloe leaf. This yellow sap has strong laxative and irritating action in the gastrointestinal tract. A good aloe should not have more than 10 parts per million of yellow sap. Aloe has been shown to lower blood sugar levels. Diabetics may find a need to lower medication dosages when using aloe for a long time. But monitor this with your blood tester and your doctor. In addition, aloe vera has a cleansing action and restores a healthy balance of the good bacteria in your colon. Here's how to use Aloe Vera to relieve constipation Use aloe for 5 days and then rest 2 days. Using aloe on and off like this can help to reduce allergic reactions from long-term use. Typical recommendations are: ·Aloe gel ? 2 tablespoon each day
·Aloe vera juice ? 1 quart each day
·Aloe vera concentrate ? 5 g up to 3 times each day Remember, if you're pregnant do not use aloe vera. It has not been studied for women during this period. Drinking peppermint tea when taking aloe vera capsules can relieve mild cases constipation. You can also mix aloe gel with peppermint tea to form a constipation drink. Taking aloe vera to relieve constipation can give you good results since aloe vera has a strong action in the colon. Rudy Silva has a degree in Physics and is a Natural Nutritionist.

Have you ever bumped your knee or elbow? What was the response? Well, of course, you rub them in order to ease the pain and make them feel better.

Natural Pain Management
Life in today's hectic society is going more and more in the direction of fast food restaurants, sugar in foods you would never think should be there, trans fatty acids, preservatives and pesticides which we consume in large amounts every year. We even go so far as to invent foods, such as artificial sugars, which your body (in my opinion) does not recognize as actual food. We are bombarded with hormones in most of our meats and dairy products. Girls are maturing physically at a much younger age because of this. With all this going on, it's no wonder that our immune systems are on overload and physical ailments are growing in leaps and bounds. Pain in some cases, is what some people's lives revolve around.

Injured Athletes and Acupuncture
I have always been amazed at the clinical results that I have seen with injured
athletes and acupuncture. For a while, my wife and I worked closely with a number
of athletes from a world championship athletic team, the Santa Barbara Condors At
the world class level, these athletes would be compared to world cup soccer players
in the way their body is used and abused. My findings were that for most types of
injuries, acupuncture had profound results. What is important is the distinction
between acupuncture that is used to get rid of pain, and acupuncture that is used to
relax the muscles and soft tissue (while freeing up the energy flow). Also, the
distinction of separating sprain from strain and tear. The best results that I always
found were from stress and strain. Tear, I would always refer to an Orthopedic
Physician and suggest herbs to speed up the healing process. When it comes to
knots, clicks, pops, soreness, tension, and aches, acupuncture is extremely
effective.
