Varicose Veins


Causes:
A varicose condition of the veins results from sluggish circulation due to various factors such as constipation, dietetic errors, lack of exercise, and smoking. Standing for long periods and wearing tight clothing can also lead to sluggish circulation. Pregnancy may cause varicose veins due to increased pressure in the pelvis and abdomen, which slows down the flow of blood from the lower extremities to the heart. Women usually suffer from this condition in the early years of childbearing. Obesity can also cause varicose veins.

Home Remedy for Varicose Veins:

Varicose Veins treatment using Vegetable Juices
Raw vegetable juices, especially carrot juice in combination with spinach juice, have proved beneficial in the treatment of varicose veins. The formula proportions considered helpful in this combination are 300 ml of carrot juice and 200 ml of spinach juice.

The herb marigold is valuable in varicose veins. A compress of this herb should be applied externally. The flowers of this plant can also be applied externally over varicose ulcers with beneficial results, as they are an excellent remedy for inflamed or ulcerated conditions of the skin.



Varicose Veins treatment using Hot Epsom salts bath
A hot Epsom salts bath is also very valuable and should be taken twice a week.

Varicose Veins treatment using Sunbathing, Breathing exercises and Yoga postures
Sunbathing and deep breathing exercises are also helpful. Certain inverted yoga postures such as viparitakarani, sarvangasana, and shirshasana are beneficial in the treatment of varicose veins as they drain the blood from the legs and reduce pressure on the veins. They help to relax the muscles and allow the blood to flow freely in and out of the lower extremities. Padmasana, gomukhasana, vajrasana, and shalabhasana are also beneficial.

Uncontrollable Flatulence ( )

Causes:
- Major cause of flatulence is swallowed air. Some people swallow air as a matter of habit, this condition is referred to as Aerophagia. While the oxygen present in the air thus inhaled is absorbed by the body, the nitrogen is expelled in flatus as it is poorly absorbed by the mucous lining.
- Presence of excessive amounts of bacteria in the intestines
- Consumption of large amounts of fibrous foods
- Consumption of products that contain malt extracts
- Digestive disorders that affect the GI tract such as gastroenteritis.
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Irregular bowel movements or constipation.
- Food or water that may be prepared under unhygienic conditions.
- A high-fat diet generates a huge amount of carbon dioxide, some of which is released as flatulence or gas.
- Odorous flatulence is caused due to the metabolic breakdown of sulfur-containing proteins and amino acids in the intestines.
- Persistent bloating and flatulence that is present consistently over a period may be an indication of a serious medical condition such as colorectal cancer. This may need deeper investigation and treatment.
- Fat malabsorption could be another cause for flatulence. This problem produces loose and light-colored stools accompanied by gas.

Home Remedies for Treating Flatulence:
- Mix 1/2 tsp of dry ginger powder with a pinch of asafoetida and a pinch of rock salt in a cup of warm water. Drink this concoction to get relief from gas.
Ginger powder -

- Mix 2 tsp of brandy with a cup of warm water and drink this before going to bed. (2 teaspoons o! )

- Chew on some fresh ginger slices that are soaked in lime juice after meals.
- A drop of dill oil in a tsp of honey taken immediately after a meal should be of great help.

- Dry grind 1 tsp of pepper, 1 tsp of dry ginger and 1 tsp of green cardamom seeds. Add 1/2 tsp of this mixture to water and drink after 1 hour after meal.

- Chewing peppermint after a meal does a lot more than just freshening your breath. Peppermint contains menthol that soothes the digestive muscles. It helps in treating flatulence, bloating and abdominal pain that accompanies gas. Peppermint oil combined with caraway oil has been used since ages to treat abdominal discomfort caused by flatulence.

Dandruff treatment using Other Remedies
Dandruff can be removed by massaging the hair for half an hour with curd which has been kept in the open for three days, or with a few drops of lime juice mixed with indian gooseberry juice every night, before going to bed. Another measure which helps to counteract dandruff is to dilute cider vinegar with an equal quantity of water and dab this on to the hair with cotton wool inbetween shampooing.

Home Remedies to Preserve Delicate Items

Preserve Leaves/Flowers:
Mix one part glycerin with two parts water and heat, but do not boil. Pour into a metal or glass container. Make a fresh angle-cut to the woody stems; you also can gently crush the stems just above the cuts with a hammer to expose more of the pulp. Place the stems into the cooled solution, covering them with a few inches of the liquid. Place in a cool, dry spot with good air circulation, but not in direct sunlight. Depending on the size and type of foliage, it may take several days or up to six weeks to complete the preserving process. A good way to test if they are ready is to let one stem air dry and compare it to the stems in the glycerin after a week.
The result. . . . the leaves will be soft and pliable, allowing you to enjoy your plants for much longer.


Ceramic Tip:
This homemade glue fixes glass porcelain and ceramics. You will need 4 ½ teaspoons gum arabic, ¼ cup water and 7 ½ teaspoons of natural glycerin.
