Dragon Herbs

The tonic herbs are the elite herbs of the Chinese herbal system, the most fully developed herbal system in the world.

The Chinese tonic herbs have always held a very special place in Asian culture.

These very special natural substances have been associated with the highest qualities of living, and thus are associated with the ideals of long life, slow aging, glowing health, happiness, wisdom, physical vitality, adaptability, sexual vigor and response, mental acuity and clear intuition, love and compassion, and harmonious relations with nature and with one's fellow human beings.

The tonic herbs are not harsh and are not specifically medicinal in the conventional sense.

Tonic herbs help to regulate our myriad functions so that we can re-establish and maintain our balance, our adaptability, our vigor and our youthfulness.

By achieving these goals, one can be said to have attained true "radiant health.

Coffe - Is it good for our health ???

For many of us the day does not begin until we have enjoyed our first cup of coffee.

We know it helps increase our energy and alertness, but there is increasing scientific evidence to show that coffee may also help provide significant protection against the development of liver disease.

• In this post we'll try to show how coffee drinking specifically could be protective against:
  Cirrhosis of the liver (a disease causing progressive damage and scarring of the liver tissue and function)


• Gallbladder disease - by reducing the risk of gallstone formation.


• An increase of liver enzyme activity.
  A high liver enzyme activity is a recognised indicator that there has been deterioration in the functioning of liver cells and possible development of disease in the liver.

More recent studies confirmed the findings that it is specifically coffee, but not other beverages containing caffeine, that may be the key factor in inhibiting the onset of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver.

In another large study, results showed that men who regularly drank two to three cups of coffee per day – filtered, instant or espresso - had about a 30-40% reduction in risk of gallstone disease.

For men who drank four cups per day, the reduction was even more significant – the risk was cut in half.

Other study results have demonstrated a similar positive effect in women.

We cannot live without a functioning liver – so here is some good news – that cup of coffee we all enjoy is not bad for us at all.

In moderation, drinking coffee not only helps increase our energy and alertness but may also be helping to keep our liver healthy.

The Truth About Back Pain

There are many different reasons that people have back pain but the most usual reason is poor posture.
If a person constantly sits or stands incorrectly, a sore back is often the outcome.
We were often told by our parents to "sit or stand up straight" as children and they were correct. For a person that has had poor posture their entire lives, eventually their joints damage and start wearing out.
Unfortunately, the back pain caused by this is as severe as a person that had an accident.
There are other causes of back pain and understanding them helps us to avoid or deal with back pain.

If your back pain is persistent then it is time to see a doctor.
The doctor will be able to run tests to find out why you are in pain and the different treatments available to bring you relief from this pain. Usually for less severe back problems, within two weeks of starting treatment, there will be relief from the pain.

\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.

Contact Lenses or Glasses?

Garlic for cholesterol reduction

According to some studies, garlic might decrease blood levels of total cholesterol by a few percentage points.

Other studies, however, suggest that it might not be as beneficial as once thought. It might also have significant side effects and/or interactions with certain medicines.

Garlic might prolong bleeding and blood clotting time, so garlic and garlic supplements should not be consumed prior to surgery and should not be taken with blood-thinning medicines such as warfarin.

What Is Pilates?

Pilates is a body conditioning routine that seeks to build flexibility, strength, endurance, and coordination without adding muscle bulk.

In addition, pilates increases circulation and helps to sculpt the body and strengthen the body's "core" or "powerhouse" (torso).

People who do pilates regularly feel they have better posture, are less prone to injury, and experience better overall health.

There are two ways to exercise in pilates.

Today, most people focus on the mat exercises, which require only a floor mat and training. These exercises are designed so that your body uses its own weight as resistance.

The other method of pilates uses a variety of machines to tone and strengthen the body, again using the principle of resistance.

According to information released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on June 24, 2007, about 43.6 million people in the United States, or 14.8 percent of the population, had no health insurance in 2006.

The finding, based on a survey of 100,000 people, is lower than previous federal estimates of 46 million. The estimate is based on those who did not have insurance at the time of the interview. About 54.5 million people in the country, or 18.6 percent of the population, had no insurance for at least part of 2006.

Whatever the exact numbers, there is obviously a very serious problem with health care provision in the U.S. In fact, dozens.
