Spiritual powers are as real as the breath we take. Don't ever doubt it because you might be suffering from an invisible spiritual problem that is worster than your neighbour's physical affliction.

They are people who work like donkeys and eat like chickens. The more they work, the less they achieve (common example of invisible spiritual problem)

Witches and wizards sacrifice others lives to extend theirs and live longer. You see people complain of minor headache, stomach pain and before you know it, they are dead.

Some sleep and never wake up. Some are suffering from diseases but after several tests and scanning, nothing is detected. (Examples of visible spiritual problems)

Health / Top 10 Everlasting Solution To Toothache by Ihotune(f): 5:36am On Aug 21, 2017
Toothache is soreness or an unbearable throbbing pain in your teeth or around your jaws. It can vary greatly, from mild to serious pain.

Some of the main causes of toothaches are cavities, an infection, an exposed tooth root, a cracked tooth, gum disease, a loose filling, or jaw joint disorder.

A toothache happens when the central region of the tooth, known as the pulp, becomes irritated or inflamed. The pulp consists of several nerve endings that are highly sensitive.

Pulp can become inflamed or irritated for many reasons, some of which are noted above. If you have toothache, it is best to seek immediate advice from a dentist before the problem worsens.

You can also try some natural remedies to relieve the pain temporarily. Here are the top 10 home remedies for toothaches.

1. Pepper and Salt
Salt mixed with pepper can be of great use when a tooth becomes extremely sensitive as both the ingredients have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Mix equal amounts of pepper and common salt with a few drops of water to form a paste. Apply the paste directly on the affected tooth and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Do this daily for several days.

2. Garlic
Use of garlic can also provide immense relief from toothache. Garlic has antibiotic and other medicinal properties that can be very effective in reducing the pain.

Mix a crushed garlic clove (or garlic powder) with some table salt or black salt and apply it directly on the affected tooth to alleviate the pain.

If you prefer, you can chew one or two cloves of garlic to get relief. Repeat this natural treatment for a few days.

3. Cloves
Cloves have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant and anesthetic properties that help alleviate tooth pain and fight infection. Grind two whole cloves.

Mix in a little olive oil or any vegetable oil and apply on the affected tooth. Another option is to dab a cotton ball in clove oil and rub it directly on the sore tooth.

Or, you can mix a few drops of clove oil in half a glass of water and use it as a mouth rinse.

4. Onions
Onions have antiseptic and antimicrobial properties that control a toothache. It can provide relief from pain by killing the germs causing an infection.

At the first sign of a toothache, chew raw onion for a few minutes to relieve the pain. If you are not able to chew it, place a piece of raw onion directly on the bad tooth or gum.

5. Asafetida
Dental problems such as toothaches and bleeding gums can be treated at home with the use of asafetida.

Simply add a pinch or one-half teaspoon of powdered asafetida to two teaspoons of lemon juice and then warm it slightly. Use a cotton pad to apply the solution on the affected area.

This will give you quick relief from the pain. Alternatively, asafetida fried in clarified butter can be put in the tooth cavity for instant relief.

6. Warm Salt Water
A simple glass of warm salt water can help treat a toothache. Mix half a spoon of common salt in a glass of hot water and use it to rinse your mouth thoroughly.

It will help reduce swelling and inflammation, and also fight the bacteria that cause infection.

7. Guava Leaves
Fresh guava leaves can also alleviate toothache, thanks to their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties.

Simply chew one or two tender guava leaves until the juice starts working on the affected tooth. You can also use raw spinach leaves in the same way.

Another remedy is to put four to five guava leaves in water and boil it. Allow the solution to cool to a warm temperature and add some salt. Use the solution as a mouthwash.

8. Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract is another popular home remedy for treating toothache as it helps numb the pain. Plus, the vanilla has a calming effect.

Dip a cotton swab in vanilla extract and dab it on the affected area. Do this a few times a day until you get relief.

9. Wheatgrass Juice
Wheatgrass has natural antibacterial properties that will help fight tooth decay and relieve toothache. Extract the juice of wheatgrass and use it as a mouthwash.

It will absorb toxins from the gums, reduce the growth of bacteria and keep the infection under control. If you wish, you can simply chew on wheatgrass.

10. Ice Cubes
Ice can help alleviate tooth pain by numbing the nerve endings. Wrap a small ice cube in a thin cotton cloth. Hold it on your cheek near the aching tooth for a few minutes.

If you have exposed nerves, contact with the cold can cause more pain. An acupressure technique that can ease tooth pain is to rub an ice cube between your index finger and thumb for a few minutes.

In addition to trying these remedies, make sure to consult your dentist. Some dental and gum problems require more aggressive treatment than home remedies.

Celebrities / Red Velvet Cake Recipe: How To Make The Best Red Velvet Cake Ever by Ihotune(f): 11:08pm On Jul 17, 2017
Red Velvet Cake is moist, yummy and unlike what people think, is not hard to make. All you need to do is pay attention to details and don’t be in a hurry at all. The cake is so tasty and delicious that if you are not mindful, you might almost finish it while it is fresh out of the oven.

I remember I first spotted Red Velvet Cake recipe on Allrecipes and the recipe was straight forward with little to no details, so I didn't know how to go about it and felt it was very difficult to make.

That is why with this well explained red velvet cake recipe even if you're a learner, you can't go wrong. So continue reading and you will be so proud of yourself afterwards.

Ingredients For Making Red Velvet Cake:
• 1½ cup Vegetable oil (use Butter as substitute)
• 2½ cup Flour - Sifted
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoon Red Colour
• 1½ Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla flavor
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Vinegar

Preparations Of Red Velvet Cake Recipe
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Grease pans with butter, margarine or vegetable oil. After that, coat the pan with flour by sprinkling flour on the grease and shaking it to evenly distribute.

This will help the cake not to burn and also come out easily from the pan after baking. You can also use 2 or 3 cupcake papers at a time so that the design on the cup cake will not be covered by oil.

Traditionally red velvet cake is made with vegetable oil but you can use butter as substitute. Cream the oil and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add one of the eggs and beat until well mixed then add the other and mix very well.

Make a paste of cocoa and red food colouring and add to the creamed mixture. Mix salt, vanilla and buttermilk together (to make buttermilk, put one tablespoon of vinegar in a 1 measuring cup, and then add enough milk to fill the cup and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes).

Now add the milk mixture and the flour to the creamed mixture bit by bit. Divide the flour into three parts and the milk into two.

First add the flour to the creamed mixture, add milk, add flour, then add the remaining milk and lastly add flour. Always end with flour.

Mix the baking soda and vinegar in a cup. It will start foaming immediately. Gently fold it into the cake. Folding means adding ingredients without beating or mixing vigorously.

Just run the spatula around the sides of the bowl and gently raise the spatula so it’s like trying to scoop the batter or turn it over.

Put the batter into the pan and bake until a knife or toothpick inserted into it comes out clean. Like I said earlier, the cake is very moist and yummy.

You might mistake the moistness for it being undone. However, when it is cool, it’s perfect. Frost and decorate to your taste. The taste and color of red velvet cake is perfect for Valentine. Enjoy!
