Instead of thinking that you have to work to get things, see everything good that comes as something you

"allowed" and gave permission to come into your life. You loved yourself enough to have it. Think of some of the good things you easily allow into your life right now. Give yourself a moment of appreciation for being able to allow your higher good in these areas. If every night you mentally made a list o ///// keloids are scars that become enlarged due to abnormal growth of fibrous tissues. Skin injuries like acne, minor burns, bites, cuts, or scrapes can leave scars. Keloids form over time, when an excess amount of collagen grows in the scars. Generally, they do not cause pain f all the good things you allowed into your life that day, you would more easily learn how to allow even more good things into your life., but sometimes they can be itchy. Even though keloids do not pose a health concern, many people dislike having these enlarged, ugly scars. Some people opt for surgery, injections or laser treatment to remove them. Instead of paying for expensive treatments, there are some simple natural remedies that you can use to take care of your keloids at home for little cost. Here are the top 10 home remedies for keloids. 1. Apple Cider Vinegar A great home remedy for treating keloids is apple cider vinegar because it helps minimize the size and redness of the scar. Apply apple cider vinegar directly on the affected area and gently massage it so the vinegar is well absorbed into the skin. Allow it to dry for a few minutes, and then repeat the process in order to expedite healing. Do this several times a day for maximum results and continue this treatment for four to five weeks. If the apple cider vinegar causes any skin irritation, you can dilute it with water. You can also use pure tea tree oil. 2. Baking Soda Baking soda acts as an abrasive agent and helps exfoliate the skin. It can also be used successfully to manage keloids. Mix one part baking soda with three parts hydrogen peroxide to make a smooth paste. Apply the paste directly on the affected area to reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process. Do this three or four times a day depending upon the severity of the scar. 3. Lemon Juice Lemon juice contains antioxidants and vitamin C that are very helpful in treating different types of scars, including keloids. After a few weeks of using this remedy, you should see significant improvement in the color, texture, appearance, and flexibility of the scar. Extract the juice from a fresh lemon and apply it on the affected skin area. Leave it on for about half an hour, and then wash the area with lukewarm water. Repeat the process at least once daily. 4. Aspirin The same aspirin that you take for headaches and other health problems can also be used to treat keloids as it helps reduce the scars size and appearance. Crush three or four aspirin tablets and add a small amount of water to make a smooth, thick paste. Apply the paste on the scar, allow it to dry completely and then rinse it off by rubbing the area gently under water. Pat the area dry and then apply some olive oil or tea tree oil. Do this daily until the keloid is gone. 5. Aloe Vera Aloe vera is very good for the skin and can be used in the treatment of keloids. It will help reduce inflammation, keep the skin well-moisturized and heal damaged skin. It also helps prevent skin infections. Clean the scarred area thoroughly with lukewarm water. Apply fresh aloe vera gel on the scars twice daily. 6. Sandalwood and Rose Water Sandalwood has many skin regenerating properties and rose water is a natural skin toner. Used together they can help prevent or reduce and lighten keloid scars. Make a thick paste of sandalwood powder and rose

water. If you wish, you can also add some black gram to the paste. You can find black gram in an Asian supermarket. Clean the scar with water and apply the paste before going to bed. In the morning, wash the area thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do this regularly for a month or two. 7. Honey Honey is a natural humectant that heals and moisturizes the skin. This is why honey is highly recommended for the treatment of keloids. Regular application of honey over a few weeks can solve the problem of keloids. Apply fresh honey on the scar and massage the area gently to improve blood circulation and prevent the accumulation of dead skin cells. For best results, use Tualang honey, which is made by bees from the Tualang tree. This particular honey can decrease the number of proliferated cells in keloids, thus reducing the appearance of these scars. 8. Garlic Garlic prevents the excessive fibroblast proliferation that can lead to keloids, making it a good home treatment for these types of scars. Apply garlic oil directly on the scar. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash the area thoroughly. If garlic oil is not available, you can use crushed garlic cloves. If the garlic oil or crushed cloves cause burning or irritation, immediately wash the area with lukewarm water. 9. Lavender Oil Lavender oil has skin cell rejuvenating properties that can help with all forms of scarring, including keloids. It also helps increase the skin cell turnover rate, which is highly beneficial in preventing scars from becoming permanent. You can minimize a scar by applying lavender oil and massaging the area gently for several minutes. Do this several times a day for faster and better results. You can also mix equal amounts of lavender oil and tea tree essential oil or olive oil and apply it on the affected area several times a day. 10. Fullers Earth Fullers earth may also be used to get rid of different types of scars, including keloids. Mix one tablespoon of fullers earth, one teaspoon of lemon juice and one teaspoon of rose water to make a smooth paste. Apply the paste on the scarred area and massage it gently in order to soften the scar. Allow it to dry and then apply another layer of paste. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, and then wash the area thoroughly with cold water. Do this on a regular basis until the scar vanishes. To conclude, you can try a variety of home treatments for keloids. Be aware that newer keloids are easier to treat, while older ones may take more time. Cabbage juice is a

Varicose veins are a common problem in which abnormally enlarged veins appear close to the skins surface. They usually occur in the calves and thighs when the veins develop weakened walls or poorly functioning valves, which regulate blood flow. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, varicose veins affect an estimated 25 percent of women and 10 percent of men. The condition can cause pain, fatigue, restlessness, and feelings of burning, throbbing, tingling, or heaviness in the legs. The appearance of bulging veins is also a concern for many people. Common factors contributing to varicose veins are heredity, occupations that require a lot of standing, obesity, use of birth control pills, constipation and hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy, puberty, and menopause. Medical and surgical treatments for varicose veins can be very expensive. You can try some home remedies to decrease the severity

of varicose veins as well as reduce some of the discomfort they can cause. Here are the top 10 home remedies for varicose veins. 1. Apple Cider Vinegar Apple cider vinegar is a wonderful treatment for varicose veins. It is a natural body cleansing product and it also improves blood flow and circulation. When the blood starts flowing naturally, the heaviness and swelling of varicose veins will decrease to a great extent. Apply undiluted apple cider vinegar on the skin over the varicose veins and gently massage the area. Do it every day before going to bed and again in the morning. Follow this remedy for a few months to reduce the size of varicose veins. Add two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water and stir well. Drink the mixture twice a day for at least one month to see positive results. 2. Cayenne Pepper Cayenne pepper is considered a miracle treatment for varicose veins. Being a very rich source of vitamin C and bioflavonoids, it increases blood circulation and eases the pain of congested, swollen veins. Add one teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder to a cup of hot water and stir it well. Drink this mixture three times a day for one or two months. 3. Olive Oil Increasing blood circulation is essential to treating varicose veins. Massaging with olive oil can help increase circulation, thereby reducing pain and inflammation. Mix equal amounts of olive oil and vitamin E oil and warm it slightly. Massage the veins with the warm oil for several minutes. Do this twice daily for one to two months. You can also mix four drops of cypress essential oil in two teaspoons of warm olive oil and massage with this mixture. 4. Garlic Garlic is an excellent herb for reducing inflammation and the symptoms of varicose veins. It also helps break up harmful toxins in the blood vessels and improve circulation. Slice up six garlic cloves and put them in a clean glass jar. Extract the juice from three oranges and add it to the jar. Also add two tablespoons of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for about 12 hours. Shake the jar and then put a few drops of the solution on your fingers. Massage the inflamed veins with the solution in a circular motion for 15 minutes. Wrap the area with a cotton cloth and leave it on overnight. Repeat daily for several months. Also, include fresh garlic in your diet. 5. Butchers Broom Butchers broom is very helpful for relieving the aches and discomfort of varicose veins. This herb contains compounds known as ruscogenins that help reduce inflammation while constricting the veins due to its antiinflammatory and anti-elastase activity. Take 100 mg of butchers broom supplements three times a day. Created from the roots and seeds of the plant, butchers broom supplements have vitamins B and C along with calcium, chromium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, silicon and zinc. These nutrients will help tighten, strengthen and decrease inflammation in the veins as well as improve blood flow up the legs. Note: People with high blood pressure or benign prostate hyperplasia should not take this herb without consulting a doctor. 6. Witch Hazel Witch hazel is a very effective herb for strengthening blood vessels and hence can reduce symptoms of varicose veins. Apart from being an astringent, it also contains gallic acid and several essential oils that can help reduce the swelling as well as the pain. Soak a washcloth in witch hazel and place it on the affected area. Do this two or three times a day for one or two months. Alternatively, fill a tub with lukewarm water and add 10 to 20 drops of distilled witch hazel. Soak your legs in the solution for at least 15 minutes. Then wash your legs with clean water and pat them dry. Follow this remedy once daily for one or two months. 7. Horse Chestnut Seeds The seeds of horse chestnut have been used for ages to treat varicose veins. Horse chestnut seeds have anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling properties that can successfully increase venous tone and in turn reduce the appearance of varicose veins. Horse chestnut seed extract has a compound called aescin that improves the elastic strength of veins and prevents the release of enzymes that damage capillary walls. A review of clinical studies by the Cochrane Collaboration found that horse chestnut extract is an effective short-term treatment for symptoms of varicose veins. You

can purchase horse chestnut seed gel available in the market. Use the gel externally on the affected area twice daily. When used regularly, it can significantly reduce leg pain and swelling. You can also take horse chestnut supplements. The most common dosage is 300 mg twice daily. Do not take raw horse chestnut as it contains large amounts of a toxic compound known as esculin. Note: Pregnant or nursing women should not use this remedy. 8. Parsley Parsley is rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that encourages the production of collagen and aids in cell repair and reproduction. It also contains rutin, which plays a key role in strengthening the capillaries and hence is very useful in reducing symptoms of varicose veins. Boil a handful of chopped fresh parsley in one cup of water for five minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and allow the solution to cool to lukewarm. Then strain the solution. Add one drop each of rose and marigold essential oils. Put the solution in the refrigerator for several minutes. Using a cotton ball, apply the solution to the affected area. Do this daily for several months to see positive results. Also, try to eat raw parsley as often as you can. 9. Grapevine Leaves Grapevine leaves have a good amount of flavonoids, which help keep veins healthy. The leaves also have astringent, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and homeostatic properties that are very helpful for treating varicose veins. Boil one cup of grapevine leaves in four cups of water for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow it to steep for several minutes until it is lukewarm. Pour it into a bucket and soak your feet in the solution for five minutes. Then put your feet in another bucket filled with cold water for 10 seconds. Do this three or four times at a stretch, ending with the cold water soak. Afterward, massage your legs in an upward direction with castor oil. Finish by putting your legs in an elevated position for a few minutes. 10. Marigold The beautiful marigold flower is a rich source of flavonoids and vitamin C that stimulate the production of collagen and aid in cell repair and reproduction. It also helps improve circulation, thus helping alleviate various symptoms of varicose veins. Boil one cup of marigold flowers in four cups of water for five minutes. Soak a cotton cloth in the solution and place the cloth on the affected area. Leave it on until it completely cools. Repeat several times a day for a few months until you notice improvement. You can also eat fresh marigold petals. With these remedies, you can reduce the swelling and discomfort of varicose veins as well as minimize their appearance. In addition, you should regularly go walking, bicycling, or swimming to improve blood circulation in the legs. Conversation started May 15, 2013

Stanford University psychologist Kelly McGonigal is a leader in the growing field of sciencehelp. Through books, articles, courses and workshops, McGonigal works to help us understand and implement the latest scientific findings in psychology, neuroscience and medicine. Straddling the worlds of research and practice, McGonigal holds positions in both the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the School of Medicine. Her most recent book, The Willpower Instinct, explores the latest research on motivation, temptation and procrastination, as well as what it takes to transform habits, persevere at challenges and make a successful change. She is now researching a new book about the "upside of stress," which will look at both why stress is good for us, and what makes us good at stress. In her words: "The old understanding of stress as a unhelpful relic of our animal instincts is being replaced by the understanding that stress actually makes us socially smart -- it's what allows us to be fully human." "She is a leader driven by compassion and pragmatism." It's not about "your body believes you" that is helpful, or have a certain belief about the stress response specifically.And this is not only about stress but all fears, sadness, anxiety, anger etc... All negative emotional reactions. It's just about allowing. Finally, after a century of nonsense and primitive theories, psychologists are catching up to the level of Buddhism/Taoism... 101. Your body is doing precisely what you ask it to do, what it was designed to do from millions of years of evolution. All of peace of mind and emotional health boils down to this. If you see a bear, you have a stress response. Butterflies in the belly etc... If you see a cage around the bear, you think "there's no problem" and the stress response subside. But we don't need an external stimuli, our thoughts is a stimuli for most of the time. We see, think or imagine anything "stressful", and we have a stress response. At this point we have a bear, a problem. As long as we see it as a problem, our stress response remain. As soon as we change our state of mind, not seeing the experience (the experience we see, imagine, or even the stress response physical sensations themselves) as a problem, the body do exactly what it's supposed to do in this situation and the stress response subside. This talk by Kelly McGonigal and the talk nearby by Eleanor Longden, have something very common in their lessons. They both advise us NOT to be afraid of our own mental symptoms, no matter how much uncomfortable, aching, frightening they might be. These women advise us to stop being terrified by them and start listening to them or treating them positively. Because those mental symptoms or voices coming from deep inside us, are essentially ourselves, expressing our own distress. Be patient with those symptoms, don't get panicked by them. Remain cool, embrace those symptoms because they are you yourself and then examine them as deeply as you can. In other words, try hard to be your own Psychiatrist. Don't rush seeking external Psychological help, because nobody knows you better than you yourself. Negative stress can have profound effects on the body.

www.youtube.com he question which represents participants' perceptions of stress, is NOT "do you believe stress is harmful for your health", but "during the last 12 months, how much effect has stress had on your health?". I think this is a significant difference, especially since the real question can be interpreted in a number of ways. Some people associate (or even blame) certain physical conditions on stress. The real question asked may instead be whether or not people, during the last year, have noticed that their health has been affected by the stress they experience. This does not necessarily reflect whether or not the hazards of stress are at the forefront of peoples' minds. Also, it leaves a lot of room for bias created by the participants' unqualified interpretation and personal beliefs about their condition. Also, the data are cross-sectional, making inference about causality nigh impossible. you can't conclude that the perception of stress is what kills people. The best you can say is that there is a correlation. In addition, there was a difference in actual self-reported health status, between people who reported different perceptions of stress as a detrimental factor to their health. After they had accounted for this potential confounder, adjusted analysis showed that the risk was attenuated, from the 43% she reports, to 18% (which wasn't even statistically significant and thus for practical purposes, couldn't be considered to be a "true" difference. Even the authors admitted to this fact). This talk ends up being based on overly-ambitious conclusions, drawn from a study which does not support them and some out-ofcontext basic research, spiced with some jovial remarks.
