Having toothaches can be one of the worst pains ever in life. I had a very tough experience with a toothache  when I was 19 years old.   and it happened during the beginning of holiday times and all the stores and hospitals including the dentists were closed for about 7 days at that time. So I had to deal with the terrible pain for 7 days  until the dentist opened. Since then I was already careful for my teeth, because I didn't want to experience such a terrible pain anymore. It's wonderful that there is the internet where we can get many information to get knowledge easily nowadays. ( Depending on the source, of course ) Today, I would like to share our new discovery for a home remedy which cures toothaches. My husband got terrible toothaches last weekend. It was weekend and dentists were all closed so I searched in internet for toothaches remedies. and he tried some remedies below,   Grapefruit seed extract First , he tried grapefruit seed ext

Today I would like to talk about my new discovery, the herb " Cat's Claw" and it's benefits. This herb doesn't seem quite as well-known as some of the other herbs , so my husband and I only knew this herb recently. We have been trying many kinds of herbs and healthy foods since about 10 years ago, and I feel this herb Cat's claw is one of the most powerful herbs to heal many kind of illness. Cat's Claw was discovered in the Amazon, Rainforest of Peru and Brazil. When I read about it, the plant sounds powerful because I sometimes think about how people who live in the Amazon rainforest can live and survive where there are many kinds of virus, easy to get disease. I imagined people who live in the amazon must have strong immune system. I've read about that there are many undiscovered medicinal plants in amazon rainforest. For my health, I especially care about my brain health and intestine health. Because if the brain and intestin

Have you ever bitten your cheek or tongue while having a meal accidentally ? I sometimes did it and it's usually when I was thinking something else while eating foods. It's painful and it usually continues about a week to be fully recovered.   Last Friday, my husband accidentally bit his cheek quite hard while eating his lunch at work. He said usually after 2 to 3 days, from his experience, the pain gets worse , then it heals. and he didn't say anything about it to me until Sunday afternoon, when the symptoms got worse and I didn't know about it . He looked fine until Sunday afternoon. I was giving him a massage in the afternoon and soon he fell a sleep. He said after he woke up from the nap,  he was getting pain from the cheek. and I noticed that his cheek was getting swollen, as if there was a ball in the side of the lower cheek.  and his face and his body had high fever.  I've never seen and heard that one's face could get so swollen from biting one

Continued from Part 1.                                       http://gallery.xemanhdep.com/2008/10/amazing-landscape-photos/   In the hospital, there was another patient in the same room as my husband Ray. Ray and the other patient had a conversation about what had happened after both of their conditions were starting to getting better. and the patient told his amazing story of what had happened. Exercise is often considered as healthy and required to have good health.   However, in this patient's case, it's the exercise that got him into big kidney trouble. The patient was doing an intense type of fitness program . On the first day of this new fitness program, he had not drank enough water.  He loves to drink tomato juice.   ( and tomato juice is apparently not good for weak kidneys ) In that day, he was doing this fitness training, but after finished, he started feeling nauseous. He was in his car with his wife, and he said, we need to go the hospital, something'

Recently, my husband Ray had a health problem. Through this experience,  I really realized that if we are having Healthy bodies right now,  it's the happiest thing in life. It may sound obvious but if we can live in the moment, without pain and struggle , and keep having a healthy body ,  this is one of the greatest things in life. Every time when health problems arise, we can realize more about it. Emergency It happened early in the morning around 2 am on May 29. He looked fine in the morning on May 28, and also after came back from his work at night. We usually stay up late in our daily life, but in that day, he went to bed earlier. He said he felt sleepy and tired.   So he went to bed. Then after 2 hours, suddenly I heard a noise from our bedroom's bathroom , so I rushed to our bedroom to see what happened. It reminded me of when he got stomach flu a few years ago. The symptoms looked like nausea and pain around abdomen. He said it's ge

Today I would like to talk about coconut oil .   It's getting to be very popular worldwide. And recently I found it's also very popular in Japan and many people who love natural health care are getting into it. Coconut oil has been one of my favorite natural health foods since a few years ago, however for cooking I mainly use extra virgin olive oil or sesame oil , and we haven't used it much until recently.  But after reading many benefits of extra virgin coconut oil , we started taking it again. Extra virgin ( virgin ) coconut oil has so many great benefits to keep good health and also beauty and anti-aging , so it is used by many people worldwide. I didn't know there are two types of coconut oils which are extra virgin coconut oil ( unrefined ) and refined coconut oil , until recently. I only knew extra virgin coconut oil and had never tried the refined coconut oil. According to the information I've read , extra virgin ( or virgin ) cocon
