What are the benefits of hemp seed oil?

Hemp Oil - Benefits

Hempseed oil is a highly recommended, nutritional food source. More than 75% of the fatty acids in the oil are polyunsaturated fats. It is the highest in essential fatty acids (EFA's) of any plant. One teaspoon contains a large portion of Omega-3 (20%)
and Omega-6 (55%) oils and also the rare, gamma-linolenic acid (3%), which are needed by the human body. Hempseed oil also provides an adequate supply of antioxidants such as vitamin E, carotene, phytosterols, and lethacin. Many minerals are also in
the oil. They include calcium, magnesium, sulphur, potassium, phosphorus, and a small amount of iron and zinc.

Hemp Oil can be applied externally or taken internally. Due to the high levels of EFA's, some of the benefits of hempseed oil may include:

*Reduced heart and stroke risk
*Lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels
*Increased moisture in the skin
*Relief with psoriasis and eczema
*Improvement with acne
*Prevention of osteoporosis
*Improvement of PMS symptoms
*Improvement in MS & diabetic symptoms
*Reduction in inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases

Hemp Oil should be stored in a cool dark place and consumed within 3-6 months. It should be used for low temperature cooking only; it's not recommended for deep frying.

   
What can I do to clear my stuffy nose?

Stuffy nose/Nasal passages

Relief from stuffed nasal passages -

1 Teaspoon salt
2 Cups Distilled water

Mix the salt with the water. Transfer to an atomizer and spray into your nose, or place a tablespoon in the palm of your hand and inhale. Use alone or before using decongestant drops.

*If you don't have distilled water, let tap water stand overnight in shallow pan to allow the chlorine to escape.

I have used saline solution such as you buy for contact lenses. It can be applied with the atomizer or by eyedropper.

This saline treatment can give relief to sinus misery also. The mild saline helps your natural defenses protect the tender membranes of the nasal area

   
How can I prevent dandruff?

Dandruff - prevention

Keep your hair clean by shampooing regularly from once a day to twice a week.

Allow anti dandruff shampoo to remain on the scalp for 5-10 minutes for better effect.

Use anti dandruff shampoo twice weekly as prevention.

If the scalp or hair is dry, massage olive oil into the hair roots, leave it there for 30 minutes, then shampoo.

If the scalp or hair is oily, use mild frequent wash shampoo.

   
What is a natural way to rid myself pink eye?

Conjunctivitis cure (for pink eye)

Wet a washcloth with warm water and wring it out. Put a little Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo on the corner and wip it through the eye. It may burn just a bit, and this means that it is killing the infection. It may feel as though a boulder is in the eye, but again, it is killing the infection. In a few hours, the eye will be clearer and there will be no messy drainage and no danger of infecting the entire household.

   
What causes my Canker Sores?

Canker Sores and SLS

Canker sores, also known as "mouth ulcers" plague the lives of millions of people all over the world. These small oral ulcers can make life unbearable when eating, drinking, speaking, or swallowing.

Canker Sores may be caused by using commercial toothpastes, which contain an ingredient that has been linked to canker sores. It's called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), and is placed into toothpaste, mouth washes, cosmetic cleansers, hair shampoos, and bath and shower gels) in order to create foaming!

SLS is is also used in laundry detergents and floor cleaners - Do you want this harsh chemical in your mouth?

Be aware and read product labels!

   
What can I take to ease constipation?

Easing Constipation - laxative

One glass should ease minor constipation in just a few hours. It's nutritious, too!

2 cups tomato or vegetable juice
1 cup sauerkraut juice
1/2 cup carrot juice

Combine all the ingredients in a small pitcher. Drink half of the mixture; store the remainder in the refrigerator. Yield: 28 ounces.

If constipation is a chronic problem, see your health professional

If this juice is not used within three days, disgard the remaining juice. Think about freezing it in portion sizes, then only thawing one glassful at a time.
