Hair growth and hair loss are two of the most popular topics of conversation when it comes to hair care. Nobody wants to lose their hair and everyone wants thicker, luscious locks. How can you achieve moisture, optimal shine, and an overall healthier scalp? Do what people have done for hundreds of years and turn to herbs to help you achieve your hair growth goals!

People wish there was a magic solution or one-size-fits-all remedy for promoting hair growth. Unfortunately, there isn’t, but there are various herbs that have proven to encourage healthier hair. For instance, people have used rosemary to help fight hair loss for centuries, while others have turned to nettle for optimal growth. Keep reading to learn how seven herbs can take your hair growth game to the next level. 

Lavender

Replete with antibacterial properties, lavender helps to clear the scalp of bacteria or grime that inhibit optimal growth. For example, fungal growth or parasites on the scalp can make hair growth impossible. Typically used in its essential oil form, lavender has demonstrated an ability to encourage hair regrowth. In one study, 86 people with alopecia areata massaged lavender essential oil (mixed with other oils) on the scalp daily for seven months. The results indicated that all test subjects experienced significant hair regrowth. 

Fenugreek

Fenugreek seeds are quite common in various culinary applications, but they also possess numerous healing properties. They work for people with all hair types because it offers natural proteins and vitamin C that nourish hair follicles. A 2006 research study found that fenugreek extract improved hair volume and thickness in both men and women. Fenugreek has a high mucilage content, which makes it a natural de-tangler. It also helps to reduce scalp irritation or dandruff. 

Gingko Biloba

One of the primary benefits of gingko biloba is that it helps to improve circulation. Gingko helps to encourage growth at the root level by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. The most common way to consume it is in tea form, but some cultures apply it topically in the form of a poultice. Lastly, one study found that it promotes hair regrowth by encouraging both proliferation and apoptosis of cells in hair follicles. 

Rosemary

Rosemary is one of the most popular herbs that encourage hair growth. It has proven to revitalize hair and enhance silkiness in various studies. Researchers attribute rosemary’s antioxidants to its ability to stimulate hair growth. Fighting free radicals, which cause thinning or graying hair, on the scalp works to stimulate healthy hair production. Combine rosemary essential oil with olive oil to aid circulation to the scalp, while simultaneously enhancing moisture. 

Nettle

Nettle is naturally rich in vitamins A, C, & K, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, silica, and pantothenic acid. All of those nutrients are incredible for your hair and scalp. Traditionally, men and women incorporated nettle into hair loss remedies, especially for alopecia areata. It works to stimulate hair growth by improving circulation to the scalp. Nettle is also naturally astringent, working to reduce excess oil production in people with oily scalps and hair. It also helps to to prevent premature graying and works to fight dandruff, which can inhibit hair growth.

Bhringraj

This is a popular herb for hair loss and premature graying of hair in Ayurveda. Indian women have used bhringraj extensively to boost hair growth and discourage hair loss. Bhringraj works to decrease itchiness or dryness on the scalp by enhancing moisture and hydration. It works to stimulate thicker and darker hair growth that has optimal shine. It’s best to make a hair mask using bhringraj powder, coconut oil or milk, amla powder, water, and brahmi powder. There are also other preparations using this herb. 

Burdock

The great thing about burdock is that it contains lots of phytosterol compounds and essential fatty acids. These nutrients work to put an end to scalp irritation and can even generate new hair growth. According to research studies, the essential fatty acids in burdock are an effective treatment for psoriasis. 40 people with psoriasis supplemented with the same fatty acids in burdock and found that they worked better than prescription medication. Psoriasis can affect the scalp and get in the way of healthy hair growth. Calming this condition may not only enhance scalp health, but also improve the growth and appearance of your hair.

From low-carb and no sugar diets to adding mushroom powder to your coffee and cayenne to your lemonade, keeping up with new health trends can be difficult and exhausting. How can know which diet to follow when new diets and trends keep popping up every other week? Well, our advice remains the same: always focus on nutrient-dense, plant-based foods and avoid pre-packaged processed foods whenever possible. You’ll find some of the newest healthy foods to add to your diet in this article.

Chaga Mushrooms

Resembling a clump of dirt, the chaga mushroom is a parasitic fungus that is commonly found on birch trees in the northern hemisphere. Nutritionists advocate the addition of chaga mushroom to your diet because of the diverse nutritional profile. Containing vitamin D, zinc, potassium, fiber, amino acids, rubidium, iron, manganese, magnesium, copper, selenium, and B-complex vitamins, chaga mushrooms have been known to prevent cell damage, reduce bad cholesterol, fight inflammation, boost immune function, and slow the signs of aging. It is available as a supplement and in the form of herbal tea or coffee. The right dosage will depend on your health and what you are trying to accomplish.

Nutritional Yeast

Nutritional yeast is what vegans commonly use to add an umami or cheesy flavor to various recipes. Instead of using flour or fats to thicken sauces, people can use nutritional yeast. It can also be sprinkled on air-popped popcorn for a healthy, cheesy snack. Nutritional yeast is praised for the B-vitamin content, helping people who don’t eat meat satisfy the necessary B12 intake. Vitamin B12 helps to boost energy levels and the other minerals may assist with lowering cholesterol. Additionally, it is rich in manganese, molybdenum, zinc, selenium, and all nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own.

Kamut

Available at health food stores and certain grocery stores around the country, kamut is an Egyptian grain that has 30% more protein than wheat. Some people with wheat intolerances or allergies have been able to consume kamut, but not everyone can do this so consult with your primary physician before diving face first into a bowl of this grain. It has a nutty flavor and it is rich in protein, fiber, B-vitamins, selenium, and manganese, a mineral that the body needs to help with amino acid utilization. One serving of kamut can satisfy your recommended daily intake of selenium (55 micrograms per day), which helps to protect the body from cell membrane damage and genetic mutations.

Sugar Kelp

Kale isn’t the only dark green that deserves the spotlight in the world of healthy foods. Within recent years, a sustainable seafood purveyor worked with GreenWave, a small company of ocean farmers that protect the sea, to develop the crop known as sugar kelp. The growth has been rapid and long lines of sugar kelp grow and are harvested in vertical columns like oysters. Sugar kelp is rich in potassium, iodine, magnesium, zinc, calcium, copper, chromium, and vitamins A, B1, B2, D, and E. It can be dried and eaten as a snack or added to broths, stews, or salads. People are predicting that sugar kelp will open the doorway to the tens of thousands of beneficial sea vegetables already in existence.

Fenugreek Seeds

Fenugreek seeds are commonly used for their pungent flavor, brightening curries and adding an almost maple like flavor to sauces or condiments. One important thing to note is that toasting the seeds in a dry frying pan over medium heat helps to release the flavor, but you can also grind them into a powder to add to teas or homemade baked goods. Traditionally, lactating mothers have consumed fenugreek seeds to stimulate milk production, while others have consumed them to improve digestion, kidney function, and skin disorders like eczema.

The post 6 Foods That Naturally Increase Your Libido appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Both men and women are affected by decreased libido. Whether it is age or underlying health conditions, roughly 32% of women and 15% of men lack the desire to have sex on a regular basis. When it comes to boosting your libido, all you need are the right foods to help you get back in the mood.

Having a decreased libido can be attributed to low testosterone, depression, stress, sexual dysfunction, being overweight, drug or alcohol use, or even sleep apnea. Most men with sleep apnea don’t realize that it can decrease testosterone levels. Low testosterone levels can also be the result of a poor functioning endocrine system.

Women can have low sex drive because of sociocultural influences (stress, media images, job, etc.), relationship issues, thyroid problems, fibroids, or edometriosis. Birth control pills and other forms of pregnancy prevention, which affect hormones, can also negatively affect a woman’s desire to have sex.

For both sexes, increasing the libido can often mean that lifestyle changes need to be made. A lot of foods in the Standard American Diet have been linked to decreased libido, primarily due to the hormones, antibiotics, and processed ingredients. Excess consumption of sodium-rich foods, which can lead to high blood pressure, can also decrease blood flow to sexual organs. Dairy products often contain synthetic hormones (phtalic acid esters), which negatively affect estrogen and testosterone levels. Finally, caffeine can increase cortisol levels and induce stress that decreases libido.

How To Increase Libido Through Food

Bananas

Bananas contain bromelain, which is an enzyme that helps to reverse impotence in men and naturally increase the libido. Additionally, bananas are great sources of potassium and B-vitamins, which help to boost overall energy levels.

Cloves

Men in India have been using cloves to help treat sexual dysfunction for centuries. According to a study in the journal of BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, clove extract helped to boost sexual activity in male rats. Cloves can also help to get rid of bad breath, which can’t hurt your love life. You can also combine the use of cloves with nutmeg or saffron for more libido-boosting benefits.

Vitamin C-Rich Foods

Vitamin C is one of the most important nutrients when it comes to collagen production, which naturally declines with age. The fact that your skin may not be as firm can make it difficult for men to maintain an erection, and may lead to looser vaginal walls in women. Boost collagen levels by eating vitamin C-rich foods like kiwis, bell peppers, parsley, Brussels sprouts, guavas, or citrus fruits.

Ginseng

A research study on ginseng was conducted to test its libido-boosting properties. The women in the study took ginseng for one month and 68% experienced dramatic improvement in their sex lives and libido. It is best to drink ginseng tea, as opposed to drinking energy drinks that claim to have ginseng. You don’t want the extra chemicals and sugar from energy drinks, which can decrease sex drive.

Watermelon

If you are looking to naturally boost your libido with a refreshing food, start eating watermelon. Although it is 92% water, the remaining 8% of nutrients are essential for sexual health. Watermelons contain citrulline, a phytonutrient that the body converts to arginine, which helps to boost nitric oxide levels in the body and relax blood vessels. This is essentially what erectile dysfunction medications do.

Fenugreek

Fenugreek, which is available in herb and essential oil form, has been known to help increase male libido. The consumption of fenugreek has also been associated with balanced testosterone levels. It is better to cook fenugreek to avoid the bitter taste.

Finally, make sure that you are sufficiently hydrated because dehydration is a common cause of decreased libido. If you want to avoid vaginal dryness, fatigue, dull sexual desire, and headaches, drink your water, people!

5 Herbs That Help Clear Mucus From Your Lungs https://www.dherbs.com/articles/general-topics/5-herbs-that-help-clear-mucus-from-your-lungs/ Tue, 22 May 2018 18:00:10 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=81008

The mucus in your chest lines the walls of the respiratory system. Containing antiseptic enzymes and immunoglobulins, mucus works to protect the body against bronchial blockage, congestion, lung irritants, and infections. When you become sick or catch a virus, the respiratory system can become irritated, causing phlegm (chest mucus) to be produced in larger amounts.

Excess phlegm, dead immune cells, and bacteria are expelled via coughing. This can be unpleasant, but it indicates that the body is fighting off an infection. Excess mucus in the respiratory system is typically caused by viral or bacterial infections like the influenza, bronchitis, or pneumonia. To help you clear excess mucus from the lungs, try using the following herbs the next time you feel congested.

Licorice Root

Licorice root tea is said to ease congestion by helping to loosen and thin mucus in airways so that it can be expelled from the body. It may even fight the viruses that lead to an overproduction of mucus in the first place. Licorice root has anti-inflammatory properties that will help release mucus, and will make the air passages wider so that oxygen can flow more freely. It also has a soothing effect on the calm lungs.

Watercress

Watercress is full of nutrients and good for a lot of medicinal purposes, one of which is to reduce the mucus caused by colds and bronchitis. Watercress has been described as an effective expectorant, meaning that it helps the body loosen mucus and get rid of phlegm whenever you cough. It keeps the throat and airways clear of unwanted substances, making it easier for you to breathe. If taken by people already suffering a cold or cough, watercress can help shorten the duration of the ailment and lower its intensity. If taken at the sign of the first symptom, it can even help prevent the development of a full-fledged infection. To help remedy a runny nose, for example, just eat about an ounce of fresh watercress. You can also make watercress tea by soaking two tablespoons of freshly chopped watercress leaves in a cup of hot water.

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is a common ingredient in cough lozenges and syrups and its effectiveness is due to a compound called cineole. Cineole has numerous benefits — it’s an expectorant, can ease a cough, fights congestion, and soothes irritated sinus passages. To relieve congestion, place a few drops of eucalyptus oil on a handkerchief or add 10 to 15 drops to a diffuser or some boiling water on the stove. Inhale the vapors to help cleanse the respiratory system.

Calendula Flower

The calendula flower has been used to help soothe a sore throat or mouth. It is thought that the chemicals in calendula help new tissue grow in wounds and decrease swelling in the mouth and throat.

Fenugreek

Fenugreek is a legume and it has been used as a spice throughout the world to enhance the sensory quality of foods. Fenugreek maintains mucus conditions of the body, mostly the lungs, by helping to clear congestion. It also acts as a throat cleanser and mucus solvent that works to curb the urge to cough.

November 14th has been World Diabetes Day since 1991, when it was created by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and World Health Organization (WHO). Raising awareness about diabetes and how it affects millions of people around the world has been the focus of the IDF. While World Diabetes Day aims to raise awareness, it is also about promoting ways to combat diabetes.

World Diabetes Day was created on November 14th because it is the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who won a Nobel Prize for his work using insulin to treat diabetes patients. Up until the 1920s, there was not a treatment option for people with diabetes. Dr. Banting began studying diabetes and the pancreas after returning from his service in World War I.

He began his tests on dogs. After removing the pancreas from one dog, he found that the dog developed diabetes. He removed the pancreas of another dog, but ground up the pancreas to make the first insulin injection (essentially). By giving the dog a couple injections every day, the dog was able to stay healthy.

In 1922, Dr. Banting gave the first diabetes patient, a 14-year old boy, an insulin injection. The discovery of the injection was considered a miracle because it helped save countless lives; thus Dr. Banting’s Nobel Prize award.

There are two types of diabetes: Type 1 & Type 2. The body attacks cells that produce insulin in Type 1 patients, and the body doesn’t respond to insulin in Type 2 patients. Diabetes can be improved, maintained, and it can also worsen. You can apply a few natural remedies to your daily life to help decrease the effects of diabetes.

#1: Diet

Eliminating fried food, processed food, alcohol, meat, dairy, salt, and genetically modified foods and switching to a raw-food, vegan, or vegetarian diet can assist in weight loss, which can benefit Type 2 diabetics. It’s important to refrain from eating fruits that have a high sugar content. Avoid grapes, lychee, figs, mangos, and cherries. Vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains like barley are recommended.

#2: Exercising

Exercising daily can help you to better control your diabetes. This is because exercising can help control your blood-glucose levels. Your muscles can use glucose without insulin. Depending on the on the type of diabetes you have, you have to monitor yourself when exercising as different people can have varied experiences.

#3: Eat Magnesium Foods

Consuming foods that are high in magnesium can help benefit those with diabetes. Magnesium helps regulate blood pressure and a high-magnesium diet has been shown to decrease insulin resistance. Avocados, bananas, brazil nuts, pine nuts, dark leafy greens, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, lima beans, artichokes, and pumpkin seeds are all rich in magnesium.

#4: Herbs

Certain natural herbs or plant extracts have been proven to have anti-diabetic properties. Aloe, vera, fenugreek, bitter melon, and billibery extract can help decrease the effects of diabetes. It’s important, though, to make sure that these herbs or extracts don’t negatively affect your diabetes, allergies (if you have them), or medications (if you take them).

Not every woman is happy with her bust. A bigger bust is often appealing to most women and men, which means that there can be self-consciousness when it comes to women with smaller breasts. Breast augmentation can be frowned upon, it’s expensive, and can cause problems later in life. Besides a list of reasons not to get breast implants, there are natural ways to increase your cup size or perk up the girls, as it were. Here are a few ways you can boost your bust.

1. Exercise

There are several exercises you can do to increase the size of your breasts. Leave the push-up bras and padding at home and get to work on pectoral exercises. The pectoral muscles are like any other muscle in that they will enlarge with a little work. Most women rarely train their chest, so exercising the pectorals will add a little oomph to your chest. Exercises that you can do include push-ups, bench presses, incline bench presses, and dumbbell flies. You don’t want to use weights that are too light or heavy, but you should be able to do a few more reps after finishing a set. It’s also integral to properly engage your pectoral muscles for that desired fullness. If you are using the wrong muscle groups then don’t expect an increased cup size. Don’t overdo these exercises because you may lose fat that makes up your breasts.

2. Massage

A 20-30 minute breast massage every day could help you grow one cup size in a month. Breast massage does two things: increases circulation and increases prolactin production. The former allows phytoestrogens better flow to your breasts, which means breast receptors are getting what they need to grow. Prolactin is a breast-enlarging hormone that is triggered by frequent breast and nipple stimulation. Massage your breasts in a circular motion 100-300 times in the morning and at night before bed. This type of massage belongs to the Taoist Female Deer Exercise, a group of exercises that promotes sexual health, women’s vitality, and pleasure. A great oil mixture to use is 9 drops of geranium oil, 16 drops of Ylang Ylang oil, and a base of 50ml of almond oil. We also have a natural breast oil that can help nourish and tone your breasts. Since this massage increases blood flow to your breasts, a good side effect is that your menstrual flow will reduce during your period.

3. The Foods You Eat

The foods you eat can have an effect on the size of your bust. Foods that are high in estrogen and phytoestrogen can help increase the estrogen hormone that promotes breast growth. You can eat apples, cherries, plums, raw almonds and cashews, beets, carrots, cucumbers, flaxseed, fenugreek, garlic, parsley, clover, cumin, and fennel seeds. Additionally, you can eat goat rue, licorice root, and marshmallow root, but check to see if these foods are acceptable for your diet if you are taking medication. Of that list of foods, flaxseed has been known to increase breast tissue. There are also other herbs like dandelion root or saw palmetto, which promote breast growth. A proper diet rich in these herbs and anti-inflammatory foods can increase proper gland function, aid digestion, and promote sexual desire, all of which can help breasts enlarge normally.

It’s important to be patient when trying to naturally grow your breasts. They won’t increase a cup size overnight; life unfortunately doesn’t work that way. Using these natural methods, however, can help give you a fuller, more enhanced bust that will employ a newfound confidence you never knew you had. Let us know how these techniques work for you.

Alternative Infant Formula Milk https://www.dherbs.com/articles/general-topics/alternative-infant-formula-milk/ Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:27:07 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/uncategorized/alternative-infant-formula-milk/

Breastfeeding is the natural way a baby derives nutrition and bonding from its mother.

Breastfeeding is the natural way a baby derives nutrition and bonding (emotional, etheric, psychological, physical, etc.) from its mother. The nipples do not just allow milk to be obtained, but energy as well, as both nipples have chakras. These nipple chakras store all the information a mother has for her baby. Chakras are diskettes of information so a baby receives maternal information from the nipples of the breast as well as nutrition in the form of milk.

It is for this reason synthetic milk (derived from animal milk) should not be given to any child, especially the child of a conscious parent. Mother’s breast milk has EVERY single nutrient a newborn baby needs and requires and no other milk comes close (except for the alternative milks described later on in this article).

It is errant to give a human baby cow’s milk. The first thing that physically develops in a human baby is the brain, whereas the first thing to physically develop in a baby cow is the skeletal structure and system.

Mother’s breast milk is loaded with nutrition: minerals, trace elements, essential fatty acids, amino acids (protein), so-called vitamins and B-vitamins.

When a baby breast feeds from day one, it receives COLOSTRUM that activates the baby’s immune system and helps to boost and fortify the baby’s natural defenses against disease.

Breastfeeding also helps to strengthen the baby’s aura. When a woman breast feeds her baby, it strengthens her aura as well as the baby’s aura. In fact, when and while breastfeeding, mother and child actually share the same aura. This is why a woman must keep herself energetically or vibrationally clean and pure so as not to taint her baby’s aura or even her breast milk, as all thought and emotion is chemical and registers a chemical reaction So always keep calm and have positive thoughts and emotions while breastfeeding.

Truly, breastfeeding is an art, craft, and science!

Alternative Milks

You can make healthy and wholesome alternative milks for your baby from Nature’s fruits, seeds, nuts, and grains such as hemp, rice, almonds, oats, cashews, walnuts, banana, coconut, and dates to name a few. Sea moss (or seaweed) is added for nutritional content and a little maple syrup for sweetness.

General Milk Directions

NOTE: If using grains, seeds, and nuts, allow them to soak over night.

Add two (2) cups of good water (preferably alkaline or spring water) to a blender.

Take one (1) cup of your milk alternative base, i.e. hemp, almond, rice, cashews, shredded coconut, etc. and add to water in blender.

Add one (1) teaspoon of sea moss or any good seaweed (i.e. Irish Moss, Iceland Moss; these are best to use) to contents of blender.

Add one (1) tablespoon of Grade B or C maple syrup (organic is best) to contents of blender (except if you are using dates for your base as dates are already sweet).

Add a very thin slice of banana (size of a quarter coin) to contents of blender.

Blend all contents of blender for approximately one (1) minute.

Pour contents through a strainer or cheesecloth (so as to only have liquid and no left over pulp substance) in a bowl.

Pour contents (milk) of bowl into a container.

Now you can add as much milk as necessary to a baby bottle for your baby.

Alternative Milk Recipes

You can use as much water as you deem necessary to make a milk to your liking if the 2 cups of water is not enough based upon your discretion.

Warming Up Baby Formula or Alternative Milk

Do not use a microwave oven to warm up baby formula or alternative milk. It changes the molecular structure of everything that goes into them.

Always use your stove top to warm up your baby’s milk. Use a small non-aluminum/non-Teflon coated pan (like stainless steel pan) to warm up the milk. Don’t let the milk get too warm. Just warm enough for the baby to drink (around 98.6 degrees).

The best temperature for the baby’s alternative milk is 98.6 degrees because this is your natural body temperature as a human being and when your baby is on the breast, this is the temperature of the milk, so keep the temperature the same with your alternative milk.

Problems With Producing Enough Breast Milk

Okay, you’re presently breastfeeding but you’re not producing enough milk?

Try Dherbs.com Black Seed Formula or Moringa Formula.

Galactagogue is a word that refers to “an agent that increases and enhances the flow of mother’s milk from the breasts.” For health edification purposes, “galactagogue” also pertains to lactation.

Galactagogue herbs include:

I would suggest you mix 3-5 of the above herbs (in cut and sifted form) and make as a tea and drink throughout the day as much as you like.

Abstain from consuming herbs of Black Walnut Hulls and Sage while breastfeeding as these two herbs are anti-galactogogue and inhibit the secretion of breast milk. Only consume these herbs if you wish to dry up your breast milk.

Crystal elixirs can also serve as galactogogue agents. The following crystals can be added to a glass of distilled or alkaline water and allowed to sit overnight (preferably exposed to moonlight) and drank later on throughout the day:

  • Moonstone
  • Blue Chalcedony
  • Selenite
  • Okenite
  • Pink Chalcedony
  • Chiastolite (a/k/a Andusalite)

You can drink one ounce once or twice a day. Bottle the rest in a dark colored bottle (amber or cobalt colored) and store in a cool and dark place.
