by May 3, 2017

One of the most attractive qualities a person can have is pearly white teeth. Clean teeth are an excellent indicator of good hygiene and can go a long way; and thankfully for this natural remedy, white teeth are no longer hard to achieve.

White teeth are awesome. They demonstrate cleanliness, and nothing is better than a good flashy smile. However getting there isn’t as easy as you might think. There is whitening toothpaste that does work a little, but they are composed of chemicals that can break don your enamel and increase your risk for tooth decay. You can also go get your teeth bleached and whitened by a dental hygienist, but it is crazy expensive. Dentists also use harmful chemicals such as fluoride, which is a dangerous neurotoxin.

Instead of paying boatloads of cash, risking your teeth falling out, and having to go back for constant treatments, you can avoid all of these by using natural ingredients! One of the best natural ingredients for teeth whitening is baking soda. Baking soda is highly abrasive and breaks down dirt and plaque like a charm. However baking soda is excellent for your teeth, it is often overshadowed by coconut oil. Coconut oil is amazing for all sorts of different things and teeth whitening is one of them.

Not only does coconut oil make your teeth whiter, it also attacks all the harmful bacteria in your mouth. This is because coconut oil has a powerful ingredient called Lauric Acid. One study tested over 30 fatty acids and compared their abilities to fight bacteria – coconut oil beat them all. It also reduces plaque. In one study, oil pulling with coconut oil significantly decreased plaque buildup and signs of gingivitis in 60 participants with plaque-induced gum disease.

If you’re looking to whiten your teeth using coconut oil you are in luck. Using coconut oil for oral hygiene is easy, quick, and inexpensive. All you have to do is follow this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • About 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 2-3 Tablespoons of baking soda
  • 2 small packets of stevia powder
  • 15-20 drops of peppermint or cinnamon essential oil
  • 10 drops myrrh extract (optional)

Instructions:

  • Melt or slightly soften coconut oil.
  • Mix in other ingredients and stir well. If using semi-hard coconut oil, use a fork, if not, use a spoon. If you are using completely melted coconut oil, you will need to stir several times while the mixture cools to keep the baking soda incorporated.
  • Put mixture into small glass jar (I make different ones for each family member)
  • Let cool completely.
  • To use: dip a toothbrush in and scrape small amount onto bristles. Could also use a small spoon to put on a toothbrush.

This is commonly followed by the numbness and tingling in one or both of your arms. Many people even think they had the flu when their heart issues arisen.

“Although men and women can experience chest pressure that feels like an elephant sitting across the chest, women can experience a heart attack without chest pressure, ” said Nieca Goldberg, M.D., medical director of the Joan H. Tisch Center for Women’s Health at NYU’s Langone Medical Center and an American Heart Association volunteer. “Instead they may experience shortness of breath, pressure or pain in the lower chest or upper abdomen, dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting, upper back pressure or extreme fatigue.”

Other Symptoms Typically Associated with Female Heart Attacks

  • Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
  • Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
  • Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
  • Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.

Want to Quit Smoking? This Herb Instantly Destroys Your Desire For Nicotine (and How to Grow It)

by May 2, 2017

Cigarettes are super unhealthy and overly addictive. They are addictive because of the nicotine in them, I’m sure you most likely already knew that.

It is really hard for some people to quit smoking because of how addictive nicotine really is. For those people, they may think there is no hope of ever quitting but it can be done. You see, the moment you stop smoking your body will notice the change and lack of nicotine. This will cause a reaction. You will deal with withdrawal and become restless, to say the least.

This natural herb can help you fight off your cigarette addiction, it is called Stevia. This herb was originally found in South America and Paraguay. It is sweet tasting and has been used as a sweetener for quite some time now.

All you need to do is put a few drops in your mouth when you’re craving a cigarette. In doing this you will reduce your desire to smoke and gradually will no longer need it at all. You can buy Stevia in liquid or powder form in most ‘health stores.’ It has been used for a number of things including hypertension.

It is a sub-tropical plant and is actually quite easy to grow though if you would like to go that route. If you want to plant some in your home all you will need is a 12-inch flower pot and some good quality soil. Make sure you put the plant in a place where it will get some sunlight and add water as needed. Stevia grows well when the soil is loose and well-drained. The plants are beautiful and can reach heights of up to three whole meters. Stevia can work wonders on most people however those with an insulin issue should avoid it as well as other sweeteners as they can decrease your sensitivity to insulin.

Remember that if your pot does not have proper drainage the roots will end up rotting and your plant will die. When your Stevia plant begins producing flowers trim them off. This will make it grow more leaves. In the late part of fall, these leaves will be the sweetest and should be trimmed off and dried in the sun. Once they are dry use a food processor to grind them up nicely. You can then put them in a glass container and use it in your food and drinks as needed to sweeten them or put a pinch on your tongue when you feel like smoking. Enjoy!
