SKIN CARE: ANTI-AGEING CREAMS

Thursday, April 28th, 2011
Most of the so-called anti-ageing creams available have no proven scientific benefit and are merely expensive variations on standard moisturizing creams. There are only two types of products available which have true anti-ageing qualities, namely sunscreens and Retin-A. Tighter government regulations have meant that cosmetic companies are no longer able to claim that their products are ‘anti-ageing’ unless they can prove this. In order to comply with these restrictions, some cosmetic companies are now incorporating sunscreens into all their products, even night creams. These sunscreens may cause severe contact dermatitis. Consumers are now being asked to spend 50 100 dollars or more for an elegantly packaged sunscreen. Furthermore, the sunscreens added to cosmetic creams are generally ultraviolet B-blocking agents such as cinnamate, which are in fact inferior to the regular broad spectrum SPF 15 sunscreens, especially those containing titanium dioxide.

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: RED CHESTNUT – MRS. KAPUR’S CASE

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011
Mrs. Kapur begot a son after two daughters, and she had great love for the son. Any trouble, however small, to the child upset the whole system of the mother, and raised her blood pressure.
Once the child got simple fever and was given homoeopathic medicine. But when the temperature rose to 102°, she got panicky, would not give time to the homoeopathic medicine to act, gave the child crosene to bring down the fever immediately. Her own blood pressure which was being kept under control by regular allopathic treatment suddenly rose to 120/200.
A few doses of Red Chestnut brought her blood pressure to normal.
She was given Red Chestnut in a phial to use whenever she felt anxiety or worry about her son or some body else.
