Herbal Tea - A Tea Without the Harm of Tea

Herbal Tea is a very popuar health drink these day for thair various and health benifits and its caffeine free Properties.

Herbal tea is a herbal or plant infusion and usually not made from the leaves of the tea bush (Camellia sinensis). Like brews made of the tea bush, such infusions are prepared by combining hot water and fruits, leaves, roots or grains. The resulting drink can be served hot or cold.

Herbal teas can be made with fresh or dried flowers, leaves, seeds or roots, generally by pouring boiling water over the plant parts and letting them steep for a few minutes. Seeds and roots can also be boiled on a stove. The tisane is then strained, sweetened if so desired, and served. Many companies produce herbal tea bags for such infusions.

Antioxidant properties

Available as pure or blended samples, herbal tea is popular because of their fragrance, antioxidant properties and therapeutic applications. The antioxidant properties (AOP) of herbal teas from temperate plants of mainly Lamiaceae have been well-studied while those of tropical herbal teas are less well-studied. Recently, a comparative study showed that tropical herbal teas were more diverse in types and more variable in AOP values than temperate herbal teas. Herbal teas generally had lower antioxidant values than teas of Camellia sinensis. Exceptions were lemon myrtle, guava, and oregano teas with AOP comparable to black teas. Mint and peppermint teas had significantly stronger ferrous ion chelating ability than teas of C. sinensis.

Pimples: Causes, Cure and Prevention

Pimples: 

A pimple, zit or spot is a kind of acne, and one of the many results of excess oil getting trapped in the pores. Some of the varieties are pustules or papules. Pimples can be treated by various acne medications prescribed by a dermatologist, or purchased at a drug store with a wide variety of treatments. Causes of Pimples: Pimples are caused when the sebaceous glands

at the base of hair follicles become overactive; the most vulnerable parts of the body are the face, back, chest and shoulders. The sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, exist inside the pores of our skin. The outer layers of our skin are being shed continuously.

Sometimes, dead skin cells are left behind and get stuck together by the sticky sebum, causing a blockage in the pore. Pore blockage is more likely to occur during puberty (the process of physical changes by which a child's body becomes an adult body capable of reproduction). More sebum is produced by the sebaceous gland - as the pore is blocked, it accumulates behind the blockage. This accumulated and blocked sebum has bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes; this slow-growing bacterium is linked to acne. Propionibacterium acnes generally exist harmlessly on our skin - however, when the conditions are right, it can reproduce more rapidly and become a problem. The bacterium feeds off the sebum and produces a substance that causes an immune response, leading to inflammation of the skin and spots.

The skin of people who are prone to acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels of testosterone - a natural hormone found in both males and females. In such people the testosterone can make the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, making the clogging up of dead skin cells more likely, which in turn increases the probability of blocking the pores.

Treatments for Pimples

Here are some home remedies for pimples. Pound and place mint leaves all over your face for 10-15 minutes. Remove all the leaves and wash your face with cold water. Do not rub leaves on skin as it may cause skin irritation if you already have pimples. Use multani-mitti (Indian fuller's earth) as a mask if you have very oily skin. Add rose water to fuller's earth. This mask will help absorb oil and prevent pimples. Do not over use this mask. You can use it once a week. Avoid using this mask if your skin is very sensitive and dry. Boils Neem leaves in water. Add some plain water for taking bath to this concentrated mix. It is an Ayurvedic remedy for staying away from most of the skin problems. Press ice over the swollen pimple. If you have popped a pimple, do not forget to press ice and splash some astringent. Wash your face with cold water at least twice or thrice a day and whenever you come back for outside. Rub a pinch of turmeric powder while washing your face at least once or twice a week. Apply a mixture of tomato juice and honey. Leave it for 10-15 minutes and then wash your face. This will help to prevent pimples and also clear previous pimple marks.

Prevention from Pimples:

1. Commit to a strict regimen – Depending on the day’s activities, set specific times to wash your face with a suitable cleanser (Avoid oil & alcohol based cleansers as they leave your skin dry and tight). Note that over-washing may lead to your skin producing even more oil. When it comes to applying skincare products, avoid oil-based ones. If your dermatologist prescribes a skincare regimen, sticking to it will produce the best results in the long-term

2. Avoid contact with your face – Our hands are consistently “dirty”. Unless absolutely necessary, avoid touching your face. By doing so, you are preventing bacteria and dirt from clogging your skin pores. In addition, those with long hair should try keeping your hair from direct contact with your face as our hair traps dust and dirt throughout the day.

3. Do not allow sweat to linger – Those with sporty lifestyles should as far as possible wipe away excessive sweat from the skin during exercise. After exercise, it is important to use a mild face cleanser to get rid of dirt and dried sweat as soon as possible. Consider using a gentle exfoliate to remove dead skin once or twice a week.

4. Avoid scratching, pinching & squeezing – While it might look inviting to pop that irritating pimple on your face, doing so might lead to permanent scarring and leave the spot redder and more swollen.

5. Seek early treatment – In most cases, severe acne problems can be avoided through seeking early treatment from a qualified dermatologist. Having your dermatologist prescribe a regimen of surgical treatments, skincare products and constant review will accelerate the healing process as well as prevent future breakouts.

Get Fresh, Strong and White Teeth

To learn how to get white teeth, a person first needs to know first what's causing discoloration to stop it from happening again. Discolored teeth can be the result of the accumulation of stain causing particles that despite regular cleaning and brushing; get stuck within the microscopic pores and rough surface of the teeth. These particles can be from the food we eat. The liquids we drink, and also smoking, one of the main causes. Another reason worth noting is genetics. Some people have naturally dark dentin colors which can be seen through the transparent enamel causing it to look less than white or maybe making the teeth to appear yellow, or gray.

To get teeth whitened there are two general options open to you.
The two options are
(1) Getting in chair professional treatments, or
(2) purchasing over the counter teeth whitening products which can be done at home without the aid of a professional.

There are huge differences between the two, one being that of cost. Professional whitening treatments cost much more than at home treatments, but they offer more guaranteed results in a shorter time. The risks associated with professional treatment are certainly less because you are using the knowledge, training and experience of professionals trained in the process. With in home treatments, the possibilities of experiencing problems are higher.

DASANAKANTHI CHOORNAM Dasanakanthi Choornam is a Herbal Medicine for fresh, strong and white teeth manufactured by Kairali Ayurvedic Group. This tooth powder used in swellings and inflammation of gums, bad smell of the mouth, tooth ache, throat pain and loss of voice.buy here

The main teeth whitening treatment involved with in chair procedures is the application of a bleaching agent. First, plaque is removed to ensure that the bleaching process reaches all surfaces and is able to go through the pores. Next, the gums are protected to prevent any contact with the bleaching agent; some also use retractors to move the inner cheeks, tongue and lips away from the teeth. Then, the bleaching agent is applied and activated by a light or laser. The solution will be left in contact with the teeth for an hour or so, depending on the condition of the teeth and the severity of the discoloration. When the desired results are achieved, the solution is washed and rinsed out and a fluoride solution applied for those that experience any heightened sensitivity in the gums. After treatment it is best for a day or so to avoid food and drink that causes discoloration, you need to allow time for the pores to close so preventing further staining.

Home treatments also involve a scaled down version of the professional process. Teeth whitening products have lower strength bleaching content and need to be applied regularly for anything from two weeks to as much as 2 months. Using gels, with a bleaching agent, individuals need to apply the solution to their teeth and use trays to keep the solution in contact with the teeth for thirty minutes to an hour. Some may even require wearing the tray overnight. Home treatment often needs to be done regularly once or twice a day. Strips are also available and use the same principle.

असली आयुर्वेद महसूस कीजीए कैराली के साथ |

ललाट पर गिरकर कपाट के साथ बहते गर्म तेल से मानो भीतर की सारी थकान, जडता पिघल-पिघल कर नीचे रिस रही थी। मेरे लिए यह पहला अनुभव था। इतना घूमने के बाद भी स्पा या आयुर्वेदिक मसाज के प्रति कोई उत्साह मेरे भीतर नहीं जागा था, पहली बार केरल जाकर भी नहीं। इसलिए केरल की दूसरी यात्रा में कैराली में मिला यह अहसास काफी अनूठा था क्योंकि शिरोधारा के बारे में काफी कुछ सुना था। माथे पर बहते तेल को एक जोडी सधे हाथ सिर पर मल रहे थे। दूसरे जोडी हाथ बाकी बदन का जिम्मा संभाले हुए थे। यूं तो अभ्यांगम समूचे बदन पर मालिश की अलग चिकित्सा अपने आप में है, लेकिन बाकी तमाम चिकित्साओं में भी सीमित ही सही, कुछ मालिश तो पूरे बदन की हो ही जाती है। फिल्मों, कहानी-किस्सों में राजाओं, नवाबों, जागीरदारों की मालिश करते पहलवानों के बारे में देखा-सुना था, मेरे लिए यह साक्षात वैसा ही अनुभव था। फर्क बस इतना था कि दोनों बगल में पहलवान नहीं थे बल्कि केरल की पंचकरमा और आयुर्वेद चिकित्सा में महारत हासिल दो मालिशिये थे। हर हाथ सधा हुआ था। निपुणता इतनी कि बदन पर ऊपर-नीचे जाते हाथों में सेकेंड का भी फर्क नहीं। ट्रीटमेंट कक्ष में कोई घडी नहीं थी लेकिन पूरी प्रक्रिया के तय समय में कोई हेरफेर नहीं। थेरेपिस्ट की कुशलता और उसका प्रशिक्षण कैराली की पहचान है। लगभग पचास मिनट तक गहन मालिश के बाद शरीर के पोर-पोर से मानो तेल भीतर रिसता है (बताते हैं कि शिरोधारा में लगभग दो लीटर तेल माथे पर गिरता है, तेल में नहाना तो इसके लिए बडी सामान्य सी संज्ञा होगी)।

जिन्हें इसका अनुभव नहीं है, उनके लिए पहला मौका बडा मिला-जुला होगा, कभी बदन पर गरम तेल रखे जाते ही बेचैनी सी होगी तो, कभी लगेगा मानो बदन टूट रहा हो और कभी निचुडती थकान आपको मदहोश सा कर देगी। लेकिन कुल मिलाकर ऐसा पुरसुकून अहसास जो आपको पहली बार के बाद दूसरी बार के लिए बुलाता रहेगा। मालिश, जिसे रिजॉर्ट अपनी भाषा में ट्रीटमेंट या थेरेपी कहते हैं (आखिर मालिश बडा देहाती-सा लगता है) के बाद चिकना-चिपुडा बदन लेकर स्टीम रूम में ले जाया जाता है। सिर से नीचे के हिस्से को एक बक्से में बंद कर दिया जाता है और उसमें भाप प्रवाहित की जाती है। मालिश से बाद शरीर से निकले तमाम विषाणु भाप के चलते बाहर आ जाते हैं और पांच मिनट के भाप स्नान के बाद गरम पानी से स्नान आपके शरीर को तरोताजा कर देता है। वह ताजगी आपको आपको फिर वहां लौटने के लिए प्रेरित करती है, जैसे कि मुझे, लेकिन मैंने इस बार एलाकिझी थेरेपी चुनी। इसमें कपडे की थैलियों में औषधीय पत्तियां व पाउडर बंधा होता है और उन थैलियों को गर्म तेल में भिगोकर उससे पूरे बदन की मालिश की जाती है। 

थेरेपी केरल व कैराली में कई किस्म की हैं। आयुर्वेद व प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा के हाल में बढे प्रभाव के कारण बडी संख्या में लोग अलग-अलग मर्ज के इलाज के लिए यहां आने लगे हैं। लेकिन कैराली समेत यहां के तमाम रिजॉर्ट रोगों के इलाज के साथ-साथ आपके रोजमर्रा के जीवन के तनाव को कम करने और आपको नई ऊर्जा देने के लिए भी पैकेज डिजाइन करते हों। और तो और केरल के आयुर्वेद रिजॉर्ट हनीमून तक के लिए पैकेज देने लगे हैं। लेकिन बात किसी चिकित्सा पद्धति की हो तो अक्सर बात उसकी प्रमाणिकता की भी उठती है। उनकी काबिलियत उसी आधार पर तय होती है। आयुर्वेद को भुनाने को लेकर हाल में जिस तरह की होड शुरू हुई है, उसमें यह पता लगाना जरूरी हो जाता है कि आप जहां जा रहे हैं, वहां आपको आयुर्वेद के नाम पर ठगा और लूटा तो नहीं जा रहा। क्योंकि अव्वल तो वैसे ही ये पैकेज महंगे होते हैं, दूसरी ओर सामान्य अपेक्षा यह होती है कि आप कुछ दिन रुककर पूरा ट्रीटमेंट लें, तो खर्च उसी अनुपात में बढ जाता है। 

केरल के पल्लकड जिले में स्थित कैराली आयुर्वेद रिजॉर्ट (कोयंबटूर से 60 किमी) को नेशनल जियोग्राफिक ट्रैवलर ने दुनिया के पचास शीर्ष वेलनेस स्थलों में माना है। किसी आयुर्वेद रिजॉर्ट की अहमियत उसके ट्रीटमेंट के साथ-साथ वहां के वातावरण, माहौल, आबो-हवा, खानपान और चिकित्सकों से भी तय होती है। कैराली के पास न केवल अपना ऑर्गनिक फार्म है जहां रिजॉर्ट में इस्तेमाल आने वाली सारी सब्जियां उगाई जाती हैं, बल्कि एक एकड में फैला हर्बल गार्डन भी है, जहां केरल में मिलने वाले ज्यादातर औषधीय पौधों को संरक्षित करने की कोशिश की गई है। 15 एकड में फैले रिजॉर्ट में हजार से ज्यादा नारियल के वृक्ष हैं और नौ सौ से ज्यादा आम के। इतनी हरियाली और इतनी छांव कि तपते सूरज की गरमी और बरसते आसमान का पानी नीचे आप तक पहुंचने में कई पल ज्यादा ले लेता है।
