Aloe Vera Uses – Wound Healing

Posted on 04/09/2013 by sbonham

Aloe Vera uses are endless, however one of the more well known uses is for wound healing. What many do not know is that Aloe Vera is just as effective for wound healing when taken orally as when applied topically. For example, one scientist found that when mice drank Aloe Vera (100mg/kg/day) for 2 months, compared to those that did not (just had water), their wound diameters were reduced by 62.5%! On the contrary, when mice applied Aloe Vera topically (25% w/v concentration) in a Eucerin cream, they experienced a reduction in wound diameter by only 50.8%. That’s an 11.7% difference!

Organic Labelling – What Does It Really Mean?

Posted on 15/08/2013 by sbonham

We have all seen that “USDA Organic” label on our food products, but what does it really mean anyways? If you look for one thing on an organic product, LOOK FOR THIS LABEL! Indeed, this is the MAIN “organic” label you should be looking for when buying organic products because a lot of the other ones don’t follow as strict of standards and can even sometimes be fake (i.e made “by the company” themselves) and are used just as a marketing tool but not follow any sort of regulations or guidelines.

Below you will find an info-graphic on what it means to be “USDA Organic” certified.

Key pointers here are to watch for the “wording.“ For example, “100% organic,” “organic,” “ingredient panel only,” and “made with organic ingredients” all mean different things. Additionally, when you see fruits and vegetables that are organic, this means they have been grown without (1) pesticides (2) synthetic fertilizers (3) sewage sludge (4) genetic modifications and (5) ionizing radiation. Furthermore, farm animals (i.e. organic meat) are raised without (1) antibiotics (2) growth hormones and (3) non-organic feed.

Let’s face it, we all get the “hiccups” and doesn’t it seem like everyone has a different solution to make them go away?

What many do not know is that the all-natural herb “cardamom” is actually an anti-spasmodic and can help get rid of hiccups. This also applies to other involuntary muscle spasms, like stomach and intestinal cramps.
