Herbs that can help clear skin and rebalance hormone
Thursday, March 26, 2009
Dandelion (root)
Taraxacum offcinale
Dandelion is a common meadow herb of the Asteraceae or sunflower family
that has general detoxifying qualities, making it effective in the
treatment of skin blemishes. This common yard plant contains much that is
beneficial to our bodies: bitter compounds, choline, inulin, minerals
such as calcium, sodium, silicic acid, sulfur, and a high concentration
of potassium and in the fresh leaves. In skin care and cosmetics, it
helps clear up acne, eczema, and other skin eruptions.
Burdock (root)
Arctium lappa
Burdock is a thistled plant native to the Northern USA, Europe and
Asia. The roots and leaves of this plant have been used for centuries as a
remedy against skin cancer, acne, eczema, and other skin ailments and
diseases. It is mildly antibiotic and can help restore smoothness to the
skin.
Yellow Dock (root)
Rumex crispus
Yellow dock, a general systemic toner, when combined with sarsaparilla,
provides a treatment for chronic skin disorders. Its active ingredients
such as the astringent tannis and the antimicrobial properties of the
purgative anthraquinones combine to make decoctions of the plant useful
in treating skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as skin
rashes.
Sarsaparilla (root)
Smiilax offcinalls
Sarsaparilla is a perennial trailing vine with prickly stems indigenous
to tropical America and the West Indies. Generally classified as a
blood purifier, sarsaparilla is combined with yellow dock to correct
chronic skin ailments, especially psoriasis. Individuals suffering from
psoriasis have been found to have high levels of endotoxins (cell wall
fragments of normal gut bacteria) circulating in the bloodstream.
Sarsaponin, one of sarsaparilla's main steroids was found to bind to these
endotoxins and remove them, thus relieving the afflicted person from
psoriasis. Other health conditions associated with high endotoxin levels
include eczema, arthritis, and ulcerative colitis, and can be alleviated also
with the use of sarsaparilla.
Purple Coneflower (powder)
Echinacea Purpurea
Echinacea acts as a stimulant to the immune system by increasing the
production of specific types of white blood cells and strengthening human
cell walls so bacteria and viruses have a harder time getting into
cells. Using this herb can protect one against inflammatory conditions of
the skin. These wildflowers originally grew wild on the plains of the
United States and Canada, but they are now being cultivated in Europe and
parts of Asia, as well as in North America. They are taken orally to
enhance immune system response and to lessen the duration and symptoms of
colds and flu. When applied to the skin, they can relieve conditions
such as eczema, insect bites, and psoriasis. Purple Coneflower can also
inhibit bacteria and the formation of pus.
Red Clover (blossom)
Trifolium Pratense
Traditionally used to expel toxins from the bloodstream, red clover is
prized for being an effective treatment of skin problems because of its
high dosage of vitamin B-complex. In folk medicine, fresh red clover
flowers have been chopped or mashed and applied directly to skin
inflammations such as insect bites. More recently, creams, lotions, or
ointments containing red clover extract have been under observation for
treating psoriasis and other skin conditions.
Licorice (root)
Glycyrrhiza glaba
The ingestion of licorice in the proper quantities reduces inflammation
and redness of the skin. It has also been used in poultices for
treatment of dermatitis and skin infections. Licorice is used in combination
with other cleansing and healing herbs as an emollient also used a
cosmetic skin lightener.
Atlantic Kelp (powder)
Ascophyllum nodosum
Atlantic Kelp is rich in compounds that have specific use in the
cosmetic industry, such as polygalactosides, fucose polymers and ursolic
acid. These compounds contain abundant non-essential and essential amino
acids such as proline, glycine and lycine -- all of which are also found
in the elastic fibers of the skin -- and maintain and improve skin
elasticity by improving hydration. This unique seaweed grows exclusively on
the North Atlantic coast of North America and Europe and is highly
valued as a detoxifier and blood purifier. Its anti-inflammatory properties
also benefit blemishes of the skin.
Cayenne (40 HU)
Capsicum Fructescens
The hot and spicy taste of cayenne pepper is primarily due to an
ingredient known as capsaicin which when applied topically to the skin can
relieve pain and itching by acting on sensory nerves. This same dulling
property can reduce itching and inflammation associated with psoriasis.
Cayenne functions as a carrier agent that can stimulate and assist the
movement of the other ingredients to the sebaceous glands and pores of
the skin.

How to cope with a penis that's very big
Thursday, March 19, 2009
Having a large penis might seem like every man's dream, but there is
large and there is too large! Anything over 8 inches is far too large for
most women to handle. Such a penis can be more of a curse than a gift.
In most cases, women find sex with a large penis painful, mainly
because it can knock against their cervix (the top of the vagina) and can
even cause bleeding. So guys, if you're well hung, remember to treat your
lady's privates with a little more respect.
Regardless of size you should be able to enter a girl comfortably if
you take your time. Foreplay is the key, focus on careful stimulation of
the Epicenter, the female degenerated prostate. You can use this
multiple-step approach by Dr. Newman K. Lin of the Lin Institute, a research
center for multiple, sexual orgasm.
The first step is to massage on the labia majors, groins, pubis and
clitoral base to relax the muscle around the vagina and prepare it for
penetration. If you find that this is insufficient then apply a light
Finger Pliers massage to the G-spot and Clitoral shaft and turn it around
11 and 1 o'clock position, to stimulate the vaginal muscle relaxation
and tenting expansion.
The actual penetration is divided into 3 steps: start with shallow
penetration in the first 1/3 of the vagina at the same time lightly
stroking the G-spot and kissing each other for about 3 minutes. Follow it up
with moderate penetration to test the vaginal flexibility and relaxation
with a light stroke, and if there is no pain deep, time to do deep
penetration.
Finally, use Screwing Technique and Kiss the cervix with the glans
penis to avoid thrusting hard. Screwing is vital in love coupling for
massaging vagina and penis in the Chinese sexual bible "SU-NUI Ching." There
are two screwing technique which depends on who the driver is. If the
male is the driver he should be allowed to move freely, so the female
will lie down, and the male can lie on her, stand up or knee down to do
the job. On the other hand if the female is the driver, she will sit on
his legs without constraint rotate her upper body right and left
periodically or use her hip to make a circulation motion.
This technique will stimulate the brain to increase the testosterone
level and the burning in the vaginal tissues will relax the muscle that
will tent up and expand the vagina for taking heavy strokes or pumping
Screwing with a C.A.T position, will trigger a powerful orgasm for
women. Screwing can also be used to wake up the sexual energy, increase the
vagina lubrication and strengthen an erection. If a couple screw each
other for 10 to 30 minutes every morning will surely bring them to a
humping mode and will provide enough morning exercises for the loving
couples as well.

Anatomy of the Vagina
Thursday, March 12, 2009
Both men and women have an internal and external region for their
genitalia. This article focuses on the internal and external anatomy of the
vagina which can be considered as one of the most interesting and
exciting organs that can be found in the female body.
Contrary to what most people think, the vagina is not the first thing
that you see in the female genitalia. As we begin from the outside, the
outermost part of the female genitalia is the vulva. This is usually
covered by the pubic hair which grows from the tissue called mons pubis,
although some women or girls prefer to shave their pubic hair. Pubic
hair aside, the next part that you will be seeing is a lip-like
appearance which most people call the outer lips. These outer lips are really
known as Labia Majora and contain fatty tissues that enfold the vulva
from the mons pubis to the perineum (an opening that tears during
childbirth). The Labia Majora contains sweat and oil glands that emit a certain
scent which most people claim to be sexually stimulating. Next to Labia
Majora is another set of lips called the Labia Minora or the inner lips
that protects the clitoris, urethra, and the vagina.
As you go deeper, you can find a small, oval shaped part of the vagina
called the clitoris or the “clit.” This part is adjoined to the labia
and seems to be hooded by skin. This small portion of the vagina
contains numerous nerve endings that are very sensitive and this one small
part contributes a very great deal, since its main function to bring
sexual pleasure to women when touched or stimulated. Just below the clitoris
is the urethra, which is an opening where the urine passes through. The
urethra is not a part of the women’s reproductive system and is much
more connected to the bladder although it is located near the rest of the
vaginal parts.
The opening to your vagina is covered by a thin membrane or tissue
called the hymen. The intact hymen has been a symbol for virginity and is
very thin and sensitive. It can be torn by rigorous activities or
through penetration of the penis, vibrators, dildos, and so on. Another
opening in the female genitalia is the perineum which is a stretch of skin
that goes up to the anus and is where infants come out during labor.
The internal parts of the female genitalia are the vaginal canal where
the penis passes through during sexual intercourse and goes to the
cervix. The vagina’s size can expand and contract to make way for the size
of the penis. The Bartholin’s glands and the hymen glands excrete
fluids which serve as lubricants during sexual arousal to keep the vagina
moist.
Next is the uterus or better known as the womb where the fetus grows in
and held there during pregnancy. On both sides of the uterus are the
fallopian tubes where the fertilization of the ova (egg) takes place.
These eggs are produced in the ovaries which is another part of the
vagina. Aside from ova production, the ovaries are responsible for the
production of estrogen and progesterone or the female sex hormones. All of
these parts make up the vagina which is the female species’ vital organ
in reproduction and copulation.

Facial care, skin care, and types of soap to use
Thursday, March 5, 2009
Dermatologists recommend washing the face with soap twice daily, the
body once daily - and the hands as often as necessary to keep them
sanitary. How do you know which soap is right for you? Soap used to have a
bad reputation because of the inclusion of harsh detergents, which
stripped oil from the skin. However, that is no longer the case with all
soaps anymore.
Before we discuss what skincare routine to follow, you need to know
your skin type. To do so, look at your face in a mirror in natural
daylight (i.e., outside or near a window) and observe the various areas of
your face. In general: Oily skin is shiny - especially along the T-zone
(the forehead, nose and chin areas), where oil glands are most prevalent
- and tends to break out with pimples. If you have large pores, these
may also indicate oiliness. Dry skin feels tight and dehydrated and
pores may be very fine. It may also look flaky, and has a rough, papery
texture. Normal skin has a uniform texture and tone that only occasionally
break out in spots. Combination skin has oily and dry patches: It may
be shiny/blemished along the T-zone and scaly around the cheeks.
Once you have determined your skin type, you use this information to
pay attention to your specific skincare needs.
If your skin is oily and/or acne-prone, select soaps that contain
salicylic acid -- a skin-sloughing beta hydroxy acid that keeps pores
unclogged. Similarly, choose products with the pimple-drying ingredient
benzoyl peroxide.
For dry skin, stick with gentle, super-fatted soaps, many of which
contain up to one-third moisturizers. Pure glycerin soap will also help
your skin retain moisture. However, avoid deodorant soaps, which can dry
your skin even further.
Those with sensitive skin should opt for hypoallergenic soaps, and
avoid perfumed, antibacterial and deodorant soaps, which can be irritating.
Try to use very little soap, do not scrub too hard, and make sure to
rinse well with cool water (warm or hot water can be drying).
People with normal skin have plenty of options: feed your skin with
plant-based soaps, lather up with triple-milled soaps or use a gentle face
bar soap that is non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores).
Those suffering from windburned, sunburned or chapped skin can calm it
with soap rich in soothing glycerin and aloe vera. As much as possible,
avoid bars with overpowering fragrances since they can irritate the
skin further.
Even when you're partying until the wee hours of the morning or pulling
overtime at the office, it's essential to cleanse your face thoroughly
before you hit the sack. Ideally, you should wash your face twice a
day, put on toner, and moisturize immediately after cleansing your face.
By removing makeup and daily grime from your face daily, you can avoid
clogged pores and breakouts. However, we don’t live in a perfect world
and there will be times when you just want to slip into your bed and
forget about your beauty ritual.
When you’re too tired or there isn’t that much time to conduct your
full facial regimen, you can save time and effort by using a multipurpose
cleanser that'll strip away dirt, oil, and even hard-to-remove makeup
like waterproof mascara all at once. You can also try using disposable
cloths that you simply moisten (to activate the built-in cleanser) and
smooth over your face to lift away the day's dirt.
There are plenty of ways to protect and beautify your face, and
establishing a regular beauty regimen is one of them. Start one today and your
skin will thank you for it.
