How to get rid of headache without pills


Headache is almost never located in the brain.

There is actually not much ability at all to sense pain in the mass of the brain - surgeons do for instance not use anesthetics on the brain when they perform brain surgery.

Headache is almost always located in the muscles of the head - caused by tension built up during long time in these muscles.

Here some tips :
  • Open your mouth wide and rotate the jaws from time to time.
  • never let your rows of teeth meet each other any other times than when you are chewing something.
  • make rotating movements with the shoulders.
  • Tip your head slowly to the sides and stretch out the muscles of the neck.
  • Drink enough water ...

What is syphilis?


Syphilis (say: "siff-uh-liss") is a serious infection passed from one person to another during sexual contact. It's caused by a bacteria (germ).

You could get syphilis by touching the blood or sores of a person who has syphilis, especially sores on the person's mouth, penis, vagina or anus (the opening to the rectum).
Syphilis can be cured with penicillin.
The penicillin is given as a shot.
For primary-stage syphilis, you only need to get 1 shot.
For secondary-stage syphilis, you will need 2 shots. If you're allergic to penicillin, be sure to tell your doctor.

If you have an advanced case of syphilis, you may need stronger treatment.
You may get shots of penicillin every day for 10 days.
This can be done in the doctor's office or at a clinic.
A few people have to go to the hospital to get penicillin put into their veins.

If you're pregnant, it's very important to get treated right away.
Syphilis can cause birth defects and even death in an unborn baby.

Fire burn - Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has been traditionally used for burn healing but clinical evidence remains unclear.
We conducted a systematic review to determine the efficacy of topical aloe vera for the treatment of burn wounds.
As generations of mothers already know, Aloe Vera really is a miracle plant when it comes to treating burns from fires but many people don’t realize that Aloe Vera is also a great treatment for nearly any type of burn, including sunburns, burns from hot surfaces and liquids, steam burns and even to some extent radiation burns.
Even the FDA (food and drug administration) has acknowledged the amazing healing properties of Aloe Vera when it comes to the first-aid treatment of a wide variety of burns.

Acne Myths


1. Sun is great for acne

Sun may temporarily mask your acne, tighten up pores, or dry up the oil glands.
However, the sun will also damage your follicular walls and those lesions will trigger an inflammatory response that shows off as acne breakouts that may not surface for 3-4 weeks after your sun exposure.

2. Washing your face more often will help clear up acne

Facial blemishes are not caused by dirt. Contrary to what you may have seen in commercials, pores do not get blocked from the top down, except by certain cosmetics.
Rather, an entire pore collapses from deep within the skin, starting acne formation.
Frequent washing does nothing to prevent this.
Over-washing is actually irritating, and excess irritation can worsen acne.
A washcloth can aggravate this situation further.
Use bare hands to wash and only wash twice a day.

\ways to treat mosquito bites


Summertime may be everyone’s favorite time of year, but mosquito bites can cause a great deal of irritation.

Here you will find a list of ways to treat mosquito bites.

  • Calamine lotion, otherwise known as the pink stuff, still works.

  • If you think it, it will disappear! It might sound crazy and those around you might think you’ve lost it, but this really works for some people. Just close your eyes and say “I feel no pain” or “I do not itch”.

  • Try tea tree oil. You can find this almost anywhere thanks in large part to the internet, but you can also find some at a health food store.

  • Rub raw garlic over the bites.

  • Make a paste of water and baking soda and put a dab of paste on your bites. Other pastes that you can make consist of: salt and water or salt and butter.

  • Apply cold compresses. Whether you use a face cloth, a towel, or you fill a ziplock bag with ice, make sure it’s cold.

  • Aloe vera, whether in gel form or straight from the plant itself, works magic with mosquito bites. Simply apply it to the bite and forget about it.

  • Toothpaste or hemorrhoid cream works on the bites as well.

    The more you scratch a bite, the worse it is. The scratching can also lead to scarring and infection of the bite. If the bite gets infected, contact your doctor for proper treatment.
