How To Get Rid Of Head Lice

There are three main types of over the counter lice treatments available. Lindane, the oldest, contains a neurotoxin that attacks the lice's nervous system (Not recommended for young children, very similar to DDT). Nix, R&C and Kewllada-P also contains a neurotoxin, but they are less harmful and can be used on children. The newest is Resultz and targets the exoskeleton of the louse, instead f its nerves. When using any of these three it is best to wash your child's her in a sink, rather then in a bathtub where the whole body is exposed to the chemicals.

Lice are becoming resistant to neurotoxin and the neurotoxin does not kill the eggs.  So it is important to follow the instructions and follow up with a second treatment in 7 to 10 days. It is also very important to nitpick your child's hair, to remove any eggs.

COLOR YOUR HAIR NATURALLY

Concerns about toxic hair color ingredients, have given raise to the popularity of herbal hair colors and natural hair colors.  Although there are a few especially potent exceptions such as henna or walnut hulls, most herbal dyes act progressively, and they should be used repetitively over a period of time until the desired shade is achieved. While no herb will actually bleach your hair, there are plant-based colorants that will highlight, darken, lighten, or cover the grey. Keep in mind that herbal dyes are not permanent and will fade unless renewed occasionally.

For Those Who Want to Quit Smoking

Quitting whether you are a light or heavy smoker, needs preparation, planning and persistence, if you want to succeed. One way to curb the urge is to eat foods that are high in alkaline (the opposite of acid). This works by changing the preference of your taste buds. In India, boiled oats have been used for many years to treat opium addiction. A welcome side effect of this alkaline treatment was that addicts often lost interest in cigarettes as well as opium. Other foods that will make it easier for you to quit smoking by increasing your body alkalinity are spinach, beet greens, raisins, figs, dried lima beans, dandelion greens, and almonds.

Wise Tips

Many of the traditional herbal healers were the wise women, living in villages, who commanded great respect and not a little fear, because of their healing powers. The rise of allopathic medicine and its use of inorganic chemical was accompanied by the systematic disparagement of the woman's powers to heal using natural herbs and other plants. During the 17th century many women were ultimately commended as witches, tried by mob, and burned at the stake for drowned, for practicing natural herbal medicine. That's all behind us now, thankfully. Although a certain stigma is attached to alternative medicine, and those who practice it, traditional remedies from Western culture and beyond are becoming increasingly accepted as valuable by the mainstream practitioners of our health service.
