10 Natural Remedies to Cure Chapped Lips

Winter season is here, which means many of us will suffer from chapped lips. It seems that no matter how much we bundle up, our lips constantly remain exposed to the harsh winter winds. It's important to keep a scarf wrapped around your mouth as a preventative measure.

Chapped lips, also referred to as dry lips, occurs when the lips aren't properly moisturized or due to certain illnesses. There are a number of external factors that can cause your lips to crack and peel. Here are a few of the most common causes and symptoms:

Causes:
Dehydration
Malnutrition
Excessive Licking of Lips
Cheilitis
Exposure to Sun
Allergic Reaction
Smoking
Kawasaki Disease
Symptoms:
Redness
Dryness
Swelling
Flaking
Sore Lips
Cracking
Bleeding
10 Natural Remedies to Treat Chapped Lips:

1) Honey - Honey can cure almost anything, including chapped lips. Honey acts as a natural lip balm, and moisturizes your lips with its powerful antibacterial properties. Dab a little honey on your lips a couple of times during the day, and an extra dose before bed to prevent chaffing.

2) Sugar - Sugar might not be great for your teeth, but it's certainly an effective treatment for chapped lips! The sugar helps exfoliate dead cells, while restoring them back their natural state. Here's a quick recipe on how to prepare a natural sugar lip balm:

How to Prepare It:
Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Apply the sugary sweet lip balm mixture to the damaged areas and allow it to sit for several minutes.
Gently rub the mixture around on your lips to loosen the dead skin cells.
Wash the mixture off with lukewarm water.

3) Water - One of the most common causes of cracked lips is dehydration. It's extremely important to keep yourself properly hydrated during the day to prevent dry mouth. Try to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day. Make sure you carry a large water bottle when you leave the house, so you can stay fully hydrated no matter where you go.

4) Petroleum Jelly - A little Vaseline can cure those dry lips. The petroleum jelly moisturizes your lips, and helps to repair the dead cells. Vaseline also lasts for a long time, and comes available in tiny tubes that fit inside your pocket. Alternatively, you can also apply a bit of honey to your lips, wait for it to dry a few seconds, and add a light smear of petroleum jelly. Remove the substance with a cotton ball dipped in warm water.

5) Aloe Vera Gel - Aloe vera is a multi-purpose skin treatment. It can be used to get rid of chapped lips as well. Place a small amount of the gel to the damaged lips a few times during the day. The aloe vera keeps your lips fully hydrated, which allows the dryness to heal much quicker. The taste may be a bit unpleasant, but the results are worth it.

6) Coconut Oil - The minerals found within the coconut oil helps to moisturize the uncomfortable dryness, and softens the cracked areas of your lips. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to apply the coconut oil:

How to Prepare It:
Mix a teaspoon of coconut oil together with a teaspoon of sea salt into a bowl.
Apply the mixture all over the chapped lips, by gently using your fingers in a small circular motion.
Continue the circular motion for about a minute, before rinsing with a warm washcloth.
7) Castor Oil - Did you know that castor oil can actually be used to nourish and repair dry lips? Castor oil stops the peeling, and works like magic too. Place a dab of the oil over the chapped lips, and cover it with a thin layer of petroleum jelly. Glycerin may be used in place of Vaseline, and here's how to prepare the mixture:

How to Prepare It:
Mix one teaspoon of castor oil, with a teaspoon of glycerin and a few drops of lemon juice into a small bowl.
Apply the mixture over your dry lips before going to sleep, and wash it off in the morning with a cotton ball dipped in warm water. -Repeat this treatment daily until your lips are smooth again.
8) Cucumber - Sliced cucumbers can reduce puffiness in the eyes, and work wonders for flaky or dry lips. Cucumbers are high in ascorbic acid, which stimulates the production of collagen. Here's how to prepare a cucumber lip balm to treat the chapped lips:

How to Prepare It:
Take a small cucumber slice and gently rub it on your dry lips.
Let the cucumber juice sit on your lips for around 15 to 20 minutes, and then wash your lips with lukewarm water.
Repeat this process a periodically throughout the day to allow your lips to heal quicker.

9) Rose Petals - Rose petals contain natural oils that provide instant relief against cracked lips. The natural astringent properties of the rose petals offer a soothing effect on the capillaries beneath the skin surface. They also give your lips beautiful color, while kissing the dryness and inflammation goodbye!

How to Prepare It:
Grab a handful of rose petals, and clean them thoroughly in water.
Allow the petals to soak in a milk for a few hours.
Mash the petals in the milk until they begin to form a thick paste.
Apply the paste on your cracked lips a few times per day, and every night before bed.
10) Milk Cream - The high fat content found inside the milk cream is used to eliminate chapped lips. Put a little milk cream on your dry lips, and let the thick heavy cream go to work for about 10 minutes or so. Gently wash your lips afterward with a cotton ball dipped in lukewarm water. Try adding a little lime juice for twice the relief and twice the nourishing benefit!

[www.keralites.net] HEALTH BENEFITS OF WATERMELON

HEALTH BENEFITS OF WATERMELON

The benefits of watermelon are many, including;

Very hydratin WATERMELON FOR DEPRESSION, ACIDITY.....

Benefits of Watermelon

g; Watermelon is over 90% water and the water contained in this melon is the perfect water to hydrate every cell of your body.
Cleansing; Because of its high water content, watermelon is an extremely cleansing food (when food combining principles are followed and it is eaten alone). Do a mini detox cleanse by consuming only watermelon for a day or two.
Helps to control blood pressure.
Promotes weight loss.
Helps to lower cholesterol.
Offers natural sun protection; Watermelon contains lycopene which is a nutrient that naturally protects you from sun exposure, it is no accident that watermelon season is in the summer and that the watermelon originated in the hot climate of the Kalahari.
Highly nutritious; containing vitamins A and C, potassium, lycopene, beta-carotene, silicon and antioxidants just to name a few.
Relieves edema (water retention); by inducing urination. Watermelon has diuretic and laxative properties.
Relieves mental depression and fatigue
Rejuvenating blood tonic
Very alkalizing
Extremely delicious!

How to Choose a Watermelon

Like I said earlier, only choose watermelons that have seeds in them - avoid seedless watermelons.

Choose a watermelon that has a whitish patch on one side:

Vine Ripened Watermelon

This white patch tells you that this watermelon was allowed to ripen on the vine and it wasn't picked too early.

Choose a watermelon that has smooth, firm skin and that has a uniform shape (either circular or oval).

The best watermelons are heavy for their size.

How to Choose a Watermelon

How to Eat Watermelon

Is there a certain way? Yes, there is one rule;

CONSUME WATERMELON ON AN EMPTY STOMACH AND AWAY FROM ALL OTHER FOODS

Proper food combining explains this rule as follows;

One of the benefits of watermelon is its high water content. This makes it very easy to quickly move through your digestive system IF it is unhampered by any other food.

On an empty stomach, your body can efficiently absorb all of the nutrient goodness from the watermelon while allowing it to cleanse your entire GI tract.

But, if watermelon is eaten with other foods or while you have other food still in your belly, all of the benefits of watermelon are drastically reduced. Instead, the watermelon gets held up in your stomach by all the other food and while it is forced to churn in that warm environment it will start to ferment causing gas, bloating and fullness.

Avoid any sort of digestive distress and gain all the many benefits of watermelon by eating it by itself on an empty stomach.

Watermelon Juice

This watermelon juice couldn't be simpler to make. It's nutritious, hydrating, cleansing and delicious!

Perfect on a hot summer day or anytime you want a cool, refreshing drink.

Start with LOVE - this is the secret ingredient that takes anything you make to the next level.

Use organic watermelon with seeds (NOT seedless watermelon).

You can remove some of the black seeds but it is okay to leave a few of them in and you can leave all the white seeds in.

[www.keralites.net] 22 Interesting uses of Baking Soda

22 Interesting Uses for Baking Soda

Most of us have a box of baking soda just laying around, somewhere in the back of our refrigerators. You may want to take that box out of the fridge, since it has a wide range of benefits that you wouldn't otherwise imagine! Baking soda can help clean grease off floors, freshen your breath, and even help relieve insect bites! You won't believe some of the other uses baking soda has for everyday problems.

Here Are 22 Different Purposes for Baking Soda:

1) Whitens Your Teeth - You've probably noticed many toothpaste brands featuring baking soda as a main ingredient, and for good reason. Baking soda helps remove stains and discolorations from the surface of the teeth or the enamel. You can simply add a teaspoon of the sodium bicarbonate with your toothpaste, and brush for a few minutes. Don't forget to rinse well.

2) Unclog Drains - Baking soda can help unclog stuffed drainpipes when combined together with vinegar. Pour a pot of boiling hot water down the drain with half a cup of baking soda. Let the natural drain cleaner go to work for a few minutes. Add a cup of vinegar mixed with hot water on top of the baking soda, then cover the drain with a plug. Your drains should be super clean in less than 10 minutes.

3) Keeps Your Breath Fresh - Are you trying to get rid of that garlic you had for lunch? Baking soda can help with that. Baking soda works like magic for freshening your breath, and acts as a natural mouthwash. Put a teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of water, and your bad breath is history!

4) Washing Produce in the Sink - Produce might appear clean on the surfaces, but you'll be stunned at the amount of chemicals and dirt that come off when they are washed properly. Add a 1/4 cup of baking soda into a sink full of water, and dunk the produce inside for a few minutes. Let the solution absorb all the chemicals before rinsing and eating.

5) Relieve Insect Bites - Baking soda can alleviate the itching of a mosquito bite. The alkaline inside the sodium bicarbonate neutralizes the skin irritation, and provides instant relief. Add a teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of water, and then dip the mixture on the affected areas by using a clean cloth.

6) Relieve Heartburn - There are many natural home remedies for treating heartburn, including a feature we did here. One of the remedies includes baking soda. Baking soda acts as a natural antacid when mixed together in water, and helps reduce the acid reflux. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to half a glass of warm water. Make sure the solution dissolves well before drinking.

7) Relieve Skin Irritation - Baking soda helps relieve skin irritations when applied as a paste with witch hazel. Gently apply the paste on the itchy spots, and let it relieve the discomfort. You should consult with a physician beforehand if you suffer from dermatitis or other serious skin diseases.

8) Deodorize The Refrigerator - Baking soda can eliminate horrible smells from the fridge, and keep it deodorized. Sprinkle a little baking soda with water onto a damp sponge, and clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Make sure you remove all the food before cleaning the shelves out.

9) Remove oil and Grease - Another excellent function of baking soda is that it can be used to remove oil and grease stains from upholstery. Place a little dab of the baking soda onto a clean white cloth, and allow between 10-15 minutes for the substance to go to work. The oil and grease stains should magically dissolve by that point.

10) Simple Floor Cleaner - Baking soda can act as a natural floor cleaner to remove unwanted stains. Add a half cup of baking soda into a bucket of warm water, and use the mixture to mop up the mess. Some people even add a little dash of lemon extract for a fresh and pleasant smell. The baking soda also acts as a disinfectant.

11) Polish Silver Flatware - Are you having a hard time removing the grease out of your beautiful silverware? Not to worry, baking soda, will have your flatware sparkling in no time! You'll need some aluminum foil, a glass dish, a tablespoon of baking soda, a tablespoon of sea salt, half a cup of white vinegar, and a cup of boiling hot water. Dip the silverware into the mix, and use a pair of tongs to remove them from the boiling water after.

12) Remove Odors from Your Hands - Baking soda can clean your hands from heavy smelling odors. Sprinkle a little baking soda onto your hands, and rub them together. You can even add some toothpaste or mouthwash to one hand and rub. Don't forget to rinse your hands with water after.

13) Deodorize Garbage Disposals - There is no smell quite as unpleasant as clogged garbage disposals, especially during the summertime. Pour a cup of baking soda down the drain, while allowing the warm water to run. The soda neutralizes the foul odors, giving your garbage disposals a fresh clean smell.

14) Homemade Air Freshener - The vast majority of air fresheners contain harmful chemicals and toxins that are unsafe to breathe in. Baking soda acts as a natural ingredient to help sanitize any disinfected areas. Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with water into an empty spray bottle and voila!

15) A Self-Made Deodorant - Would you believe that you can use baking soda to make a natural under arm deodorant? It may sound a little hard to believe at first, but it actually works. Here's what you'll need to make the homemade deodorant:
1/3 cup coconut oil
2 tablespoons baking soda
1/3 cup arrowroot powder
10 to 15 essential oils of preference (optional)
Mix everything into a small mixing bowl. You can add the essential oils after the mixture has been made. Place the concoction into a small container, and allow it to sit for a few minutes before applying the solution.

16) Clean Your Combs and Brushes - You can get rid of oil buildup and residue from your combs or brushes, simply by adding baking soda. Soak the combs or brushes into a solution of baking soda and water. You'll need a single tablespoon of the sodium bicarbonate, and allow 15 minutes or so for the mixture to take effect. Let them dry out on a towel afterward.

17) Keep Cut Flowers Fresher For Longer Periods - You don't have to throw away that gorgeous bouquet of flowers just yet! Baking soda can help extend the longevity of the cut flowers by adding a teaspoon of the white sodium powder to the water in the vase.

18) Pamper Your Feet - Baking soda eliminates foot odors, fungus and even Athlete's foot. Soak your feet into a tub of warm water, then add about 3 tablespoons of baking soda. The homemade pedicure should help get rid of the bacteria causing the unpleasant foot odors.

19) Carpet Deodorizer - Sprinkle a dash of baking soda over your carpeting to remove harsh stains. Baking soda absorbs the odors naturally. Allow the soda to settle into the carpeting for a few hours before vacuuming it up.

20) Easy Microwave Cleanup - Baking soda can help clean out all the spilled sauces inside the microwave. Mix two tablespoons of baking soda into a bowl with a cup of water on, and let the concoction settle for three minutes. Your microwave will be as good as new!

21) Freshen Coat Closets - Keep an open box of baking soda inside your closet to remove all odors from being trapped inside. The powerful powdery scent will keep your closets fresh and clean all year round. You can also mop a closet floor without carpeting by using a vinegar baking soda mix.

22) Keep Ants Away - Ants are terrible pests, and they can invade your home within the blink of an eye! Baking soda kills the tiny pests in their tracks. You can make your own homemade pest solution with a little baking soda, and a trail of regular sugar. The sugar is what attracts them, while the baking soda kills them. Pest problem solved!
