Get a good night's sleep.
Drink an extra 16 oz. of water or nonalcoholic fluids
before the donation.
Eat a healthy meal before your donation. Avoid fatty

Iron-Rich Foods
The amount and type of iron in your diet is important. Some iron-rich foods are:

Meat & Eggs Seafood Vegetables

Shrimp
Beef Clams Spinach
Lamb Scallops Sweet potatoes
Ham Oysters Peas
Turkey Tuna Broccoli
Chicken Sardines String beans
Veal Haddock Beet greens
Pork Mackerel Dandelion greens
Dried beef Collards
Liver Kale
Liverwurst Chard
Eggs (any style)

Bread & Cereals Fruit Beans & Other Foods

White bread (enriched) Strawberries Tofu

Whole wheat bread Watermelon Beans (kidney,
Enriched pasta Raisins garbanzo, or white,
Wheat products Dates canned)
Bran cereals Figs Tomato products (e.g.,
Corn meal Prunes paste)
Oat cereal Prune juice Dried peas
Cream of Wheat Dried apricots Dried beans
Rye bread Dried peaches Lentils
Enriched rice Instant breakfast
Corn syrup
Maple syrup
Molasses

Are some foods with iron better than others?

Food has two types of iron heme and non-heme iron. Heme iron is found in meat, fish and
poultry. It is the form of iron that is most readily absorbed by your body. You absorb up to 30
percent of the heme iron that you consume. Eating meat generally boosts your iron levels far
more than eating non-heme iron.

Non-heme iron is found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables and nuts. Foods with non-
heme iron are still an important part of a nutritious, well-balanced diet, but the iron contained in
these foods wont be absorbed as completely. You absorb between two and 10 percent of the
non-heme iron that you consume.

When you eat heme iron with foods higher in non-heme iron, the iron will be more completely
absorbed by your body. Foods high in vitamin C like tomatoes, citrus fruits and red, yellow and
orange peppers can also help with the absorption of non-heme iron.

If their aim is to detoxify the body, the late evening drinks can be extremely beneficial and
curative. These nighttime beverages can improve numerous functions inside the body, and also
boost the fat burning process.

The alternative Traditional Chinese Medicine [TCM] believes that the liver, which is the main
organ related to the detoxification of the system, is in its best form within the period between 1
am and 3 am.

During this time, the body starts to repair and form cells, so you can improve this process in
various ways. Note that it is also highly important to be asleep for at least a few hours before this
time frame. (1 am to 3 am).

Try to change your bedtime habits and go to bed earlier, in order to give the body the needed
time to repair the damage done during the day and get rid of the toxins.

stress.

Youre Not Fat Youre Bloated! These
Natural Remedies Will Easily Deflate Your
Belly

When the stomach faces difficulties to digest the food, it causes bloating. In most cases, this
happens when you have eaten too much food, or you have eaten a heavy meal.

Yet, some people feel constantly bloated, and this is due to some burden on the digestive system.
Doctors maintain that it is due to trapped gases in the stomach, as a result of the way of eating or
the consumed food.

Even though people often ignore it, bloating can be a sign of some serious health issue and
should be treated on time.

These are the five most common causes of stomach bloating:

Dehydration

If the body is not properly hydrated, it causes various symptoms, including bloating. Therefore,
make sure you drink 6-8 glasses of water every day.

Excessive amounts of carbs

If you eat a diet high in sugars and carbs, it is the reason for your stomach bloating, so you
should limit the intake of such foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits.

Constipation

Constipation traps gasses in the stomach and causes bloating. This issue is easily solved with the
increased intake of fiber-rich foods. Yet, you should gradually increase the consumption of
fibers, in order not to aggravate things.

Eating too fast

People who eat too fast feel bloated all the time. Instead, start chewing slowly, and take smaller
bites.
High levels of stress

Excessive stress is another common cause of bloating, as the brain impedes the proper function
of the digestive system.

Helicobacter pylori

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium that infects the stomach lining of your stomach and
leads to various issues, like bloating, gastric and duodenal ulcers, appetite loss, unexplained
weight loss, nausea, frequent burping, and heartburn.

Even though it is usually treated with antibiotics, there are also effective natural remedies, such
as:

Probiotics- They treat all kinds of digestive issues, including the overgrowth of Helicobacter
pylori.

Manuka Honey- It has powerful antibacterial properties, and destroys bacteria in the stomach. It
should be taken three times daily.

Cranberry Juice- Chinese scientists have found that the consumption of this juice lowers the
number of bacteria by 14%.

Green tea

Red wine

This is an incredibly helpful natural remedy for treating stomach bloating:

Ingredients:

1 lemon
1 cucumber
A tablespoon of Aloe Vera gel
1 tablespoon of grated ginger
a bunch of parsley
1/2 a glass of water

Instructions:

Mix all the ingredients in the blender, until you get a homogeneous mixture. Pour it into a glass,
and drink it right away to relieve the bloating.

for Your Skin

Aging is an inevitable process, but it can be slowed down, and its effects can be reduced with the
help of various natural remedies and foods.

The effects of aging on the skin are also caused by the exposure to sun, cell division, oxidization,
and diet.

Therefore, you can achieve amazing effects if you supply the needed nutrients and vitamins
through your diet, and the skin will look younger, healthy, smooth, even, and free of wrinkles
and blemishes.

Initially, it is of high importance to avoid the following factors which negatively affect the state
of your skin:

Dehydration- the skin is affected by the lack of water in the body, as the liver and the
heart are the priorities in the body.
Excessive and unprotected sun exposure leads to free radical damage, as free radicals
take electrons from stable molecules and they, in turn, become free radicals, and thus set
off a chain reaction which leads to skin damage.
Smoking causes lines and wrinkles as the carbon monoxide in cigarettes lowers the
circulation in the capillaries around the mouth, and these areas do not get enough
nutrients.
Sugars attach to proteins, lipids, and DNA, and damage them and the surrounding skin
tissues. This leads to the creation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) which
accelerate aging by causing cell death.
Stress shortens the cell telomeres and thus damages the DNA. Telomeres are needed for
the production of protein and if they are damaged, cells die. A healthy skin is actually
based on an optimal cellular health.
Inactivity: Exercise boosts blood flow to the skin and supports the transport of nutrients
throughout the body.

Plants in the home are incredibly beneficial, as despite being a decoration, they also cleanse the
air from toxins and molds.

The inhalation of the harmful toxins from the air endangers health to a great extent.

NASA researchers found that numerous indoor plants are especially effective in filtering the air.
They remove toxins, fresh paint, and dust from the air.

These are the six most powerful air-filtering indoor plants:

IVY (HEDERA HELIX)

This plant eliminates 60% of the toxic substances in the air and 58% of the waste particles within
6 hours after it has been placed in the room.

Snake Plant (SANSEVIERIA TRIFASCIATA LAURENTII)

The snake plant needs a little light to perform photosynthesis, and releases much oxygen during
the night, so you can keep it in the bedroom.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera absorbs CO2, formaldehyde and carbon monoxide, and releases oxygen. Moreover,
experts maintain that it is as effective as having 9 biological home air cleaners.

Ficus (FICUS ELASTICA)

This plant is easy to cultivate, and it effectively cleanses the air of formaldehyde.
Peace Lilies (MAUNA LOA SPATHIPHYLLUM)

The plant eliminates all air-borne harmful toxins and chemicals, as well as formaldehyde and
trichloroethylene.

Spider Plant (CHLOROPHYTUM COMOSUM)

The spider plant needs a little light to perform photosynthesis. It will also get rid of all toxins,
such as styrene, gasoline, and carbon monoxide, and it is able to cleanse 200 m2 of space!

The recommendations of the NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

(NASA) is to keep 15-19 houseplants in an area of 500 m2, so you will need about 3-4 plants for
an 80 m2 area. Moreover, remember to always have one in the bedroom.
If You Dont Want Your Kids To Be ill-
Mannered You Have To Stop Making These 5
Errors
October 21, 2017 | Family, Parenting | 0| admin_check

1Share
share

Bad-behaved children could become every parents nightmare. Aside from the constant whining,
temper tantrums and disobedience, children can get even strong-willed and dominating over the
parents.

Since children need the parents control and a little discipline, these issues need to be handled as
soon as possible.

This is also confirmed by Mrs. Emma Jenner, the host and behavior specialist on TLCs Take
Home Nanny. She considers there are a total of 5 mistakes every parent makes, and the sooner
these issues are fixed, the better your children will learn.

Take a look at the top five errors every parent needs to stop making:

1. Being scared of your children

Scenario: A child decides to drink his or her milk from a brand new cup, which forces the
parents to look for a second alternative. Otherwise, the parents fear the child will stop eating and
drinking altogether.

Emma believes this is a huge NO. It is not up to the child to direct and give orders. You need to
let them cry it out and leave the room, but what you must never do is oblige and indulge your
childrens needs. Because, if now a cup is the issue, what will it be ten years ahead?

2. Making excuses (Its just a childrens thing)

This may be the most dangerous of all mistakes. You are not only giving your kids the thumbs
up to behave anyway they want, but youre also encouraging irresponsibility and agitation.

Children are able to do much more than theyre given credit for, so by instructing them well,
theyll achieve to much more than being left to their own devices.
Emma states you need to have certain expectations of your children, in order to set them onto the
right path.

3. You don let others discipline your children

Teachers, school staffers and related professionals used to teach our children manners aside from
the at-home schooling.

However, given the nowadays trend where no parent would allow a teacher to discipline their
child, this privilege was tripped off the parents. Given the strict policies each school has, teachers
and professors have become more restricted in that area.

Therefore, weve become limited as far as childrens behavior is concerned outside of home.
Emma says that needs to change ASAP.

4. Children come first

This is a huge mistake every parent makes. Parents can at times become overprotective and
nurturing with their kids.

However, that doesnt work like that, and if that continues your child will certainly become
needier, more codependent and spoiled.

To prevent that, you have to be the baby mama at one point. Looking for their clothes,
preparing their meals once theyve grown enough to do so by themselves and making your
children do absolutely nothing is just wrong.

In life, this will create more problems for them, given the fact theyre not used to stick up for
themselves. Saying No is one of the best things you can learn to do.

5. Taking the easy way out

Parents find it easier to distract their children with technological devices like cell phones, tablets
and video games. Although these work if your children are educating themselves on these
devices, thats hardly ever the case.

Once theyre bored, and they will be, they begin misbehaving and parents run onto the next
distractions. Instead of doing this, try engaging into fun activities with your kids, and take the
time to actually listen to them talk.

Strong, independent and polite children are not an illusion, but you have to put the work into it.

remove the brown coating of the core, as it protects the seeds. You can place it in a bowl of water
for a few minutes and then wash it off.

2. Use toothpicks to pierce it

One end of the seed is pointier, so it would be the sprouting end and the flat end will serve as a
new root system. Pierce the seed with a few toothpicks from the sides, which will keep the seed
in place as the tree grows.

3. Put the seed in a glass of water

The seed should be put in a tall glass with the bottom end. Fill the glass with water to submerge
the seed to its half.

4. Sprouting

Put the glass in a sunny spot, and change the water every few days to protect the seed from
bacteria. Be gentle, as the roots of the avocado are still fragile and might break.

After 2-3 weeks, the seed will start sprouting, and wait for three more weeks, when it will be 5-6
inches high, and plant it.

5. Planting
Fill a large flowerpot up with soil, make a small depression in the soil, and put the seed in it. Be
very careful not to break the roots. Note that the top of the seed should not be covered by the
soil. Water the soil to ensure its quality and wait for your avocado tree to show up soon!

6. Care for the avocado tree

Water the tree on a daily basis in the next weeks, and prune it as soon as it reaches 6-7 inches,
trim it to boost its growth. To keep it healthy, after the first year, fertilize it twice annually.

Every body organ has its own pH value, but excessive acidity in the body causes poor health, and
various illnesses. On the other hand, an alkaline body is safe from inflammation, which is the
main cause of numerous health issues.

Modern diets are full of processed foods, additives, chemicals, and unhealthy ingredients, which
lead to acidosis, and the elimination of essential minerals from the body.

This, in turn, causes cancer and osteoporosis, as the bones lack the minerals needed for their
health, like magnesium, potassium, and calcium.

The main factors for the acidic state of the body include junk foods, GMOs, coffee, sugars, and
alcohol.

In such cases, the body desperately tries to indicate that you need to restore the pH balance in the
body, and causes the following 20 signs:

Fatigue
Chest pain
Cough
Allergies
Excess mucus
Muscle and joint pain
Sinus issues
Osteoporosis
Poor immunity
Alzheimers, Parkinsons, dementia
Heart issues and plaque
Poor mental focus
Sciatica pain
Weight gain
Bladder and kidney issues
Diabetes
Skin issues, eczema, rash, acne, dermatitis
Cavities and gum infections
 Bloating, acid reflux, indigestion, and gas
Yeast infections

Fortunately, you can alkalize the body by making some dietary and lifestyle changes, and thus
prevent the disastrous effects of excessive acidity of the body.

These are the most effective ways to alkalize your system:

1. Avoid GMOs
2. Avoid the consumption of acidic foods, like alcohol, sugar, dairy, soda, wheat, meat, fish,
soy, coffee, popcorn, pastry, sweeteners, white vinegar, eggs, and seafood.
3. Increase the intake of alkaline foods, like vegetables, fruits, beans, seeds, and nuts
4. Drink plenty of water to flush toxins
5. Consume more fresh greens, in shakes, smoothies, salads, and juices

How to Get Rid of Phlegm and Mucus in
Chest & Throat (Instant Result)
October 19, 2017 | Health Tips, Natural Remedies | 0| admin_hlb

Obstructions in the nasal passage cause persistent coughs and breathing difficulties, due to the
accumulated phlegm in the lungs.

Phlegm is a thick substance secreted by the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract as a way
to fighting infections like severe colds, but its buildup in the chest and throat can cause various
other issues.

It is caused by viral or bacterial infections, flu, or colds, and the body uses coughing in an
attempt to get rid of it.

The excessive amounts of phlegm in the lungs might cause persistent coughs, fever, weakness,
runny nose, and difficulty breathing, and if not expelled, it can cause even bigger issues by
obstructing the bronchial tubes.

Fortunately, the following natural remedies and methods are effective in reducing the amount of
phlegm and treat respiratory infections:

Ginger

It is a potent natural decongestant and antihistamine with strong expectorant and antibacterial
qualities, which relieve throat and chest congestion. You should eat 3-4 ginger slices daily, or
drink 2-3 cups of the following ginger tea daily:

Ingredients

6-7 slices of ginger

1 teaspoon of honey
1 teaspoon of black peppercorns
2 cups of water

Instructions:
In a pan, cook the water, and when it starts to boil, add the ginger and peppercorns. Cover and
after a minute, lower the heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, remove from heat, strain, and add the
honey after it cools a bit.

Honey and Lemon

Lemons are loaded with vitamin C which strengthens the immune system and treats congestion,
and honey has powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties. Therefore, this combination
soothes the irritated respiratory tract and brings relief.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of organic honey

2 tablespoons of lemon juice

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix the ingredients, and drink it three times daily.

Turmeric

The active compound of turmeric, curcumin, has antibacterial properties that treat respiratory
infections:

Ingredients

1 teaspoon of turmeric
a teaspoon of salt
A glass of warm water

Instructions:

In a glass of warm water, add the turmeric, stir, and add the salt. Use this solution to gargle for a
few minutes 3-4 times daily to soothe the throat, kill bacteria, treat respiratory infections, and
reduce the amount of phlegm in the chest.

Apple Cider Vinegar

This is one of the most powerful natural antibacterial agents, as it regulates the Ph balance and
prevents the excessive production of phlegm. Just take a tablespoon of it in a glass of water
daily, or gargle the mixture to calm the throat.

Steaming

This method loosens the mucus in the chest and treats chest congestion. You can either breathe
in the vapors and steam or use herb-infused water:
Ingredients:

a teaspoon of thyme
a teaspoon of dry rosemary
4-5 cups of boiling water

Instructions:

Add the herbs in the boiling water, lean over the bowl, cover the head with a towel, and inhale
the steam. Repeat several times daily.

Additional tips:

Use a humidifier at home to control the mucus production in the body

Do not consume cold drinks or foods to prevent excess phlegm in the lungs
Avoid exposure to chemicals, household cleaners, or paint fumes that irritate the lungs,
nose, or throat
Quit smoking, as it irritates the respiratory tract and causes chest congestion
Eat spicy foods like peppers and garlic to thin the mucus out and treat the congestion
Do not swallow the phlegm, but gargle some warm water and salt and spit it out.
One Glass of Turmeric Is as Good as
Running for One Hour

Turmeric is an extraordinary spice with a myriad of medicinal properties, which have been used
for millennia. It has been found to fight some cancer types, boost memory, and fight bacteria and
inflammation.

Yet, a recent study has discovered that it can actually be even more effective than physical
exercise in improving heart health!

Namely, a study published by the American Journal of Cardiology, the turmeric extract can
effectively reduce the risk of heart attack by up to 56%.

Additionally, another study has revealed that the consumption of turmeric or the use of the
supplements gives similar effects as aerobic exercise in terms of improving cardiovascular
health.

Researchers have found that a pinch of turmeric is as effective as an hour of jogging or brisk
walking on the cardiovascular system.

The main culprit for the powerful medicinal qualities of turmeric is its active ingredient,
curcumin. This compound gives the yellow color to the spice, and boosts vascular function,
especially in women in menopause, when they develop heart issues.

Here is how to use these beneficial properties of turmeric:

Studies have shown that the function of the heart can be improved by taking 150 mg of
turmeric extract for 8 weeks.
Take a teaspoon of the spice daily, or you can also use turmeric extract capsules
Add a pinch to your meals, teas, smoothies, or drink turmeric juice

Note that the turmeric powder sold in stores is low in curcumin, as it contains only 2%of it.
Remember that despite its amazing results on the cardiovascular system, you should not replace
regular exercise and physical activity with the use of supplements and the intake of turmeric.
Do You Constantly Have Anxiety, Headaches
or Migraines That Cannot Be Explained? It
May Be These Light Bulbs!
October 19, 2017 | Health | 0| admin_check

If you are one of the many who have replaced the old-fashioned standard light bulbs with the
new, environmentally-friendly, energy saving light bulbs, we must inform you that you have
made a huge mistake, unfortunately.

Apparently, these energy saving light bulbs are extremely toxic and pose serious health risks, so
the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency has laid out an emergency protocol to teach us how to act in
the case of a bulb breakage, and prevent the harmful effects of the release of the poison gas.

The findings of a study conducted at the Fraunhofer Wilhelm Klauditz Institute for Germans
Federal Environment Agency showed that when they have been broken indoors, the energy-
saving light bulbs release 20 times the maximum acceptable mercury concentration into the air.

These light bulbs can cause:

Anxiety
Fatigue
Dizziness
Migraines
Cluster headaches
Seizures
Inability to concentrate

These light bulbs cause severe health dangers, and these are the three most important things you
need to know about them:

1. Energy- saving light bulbs contain mercury, which is a potent neurotoxin that has
disastrous effects on pregnant women and children. It is especially toxic to the kidneys,
liver, brain, and the nervous system, and damages the immune, cardiovascular, and
reproductive systems. The exposure to mercury causes headaches, memory loss, tremors,
anxiety, insomnia, cancer and Alzheimers.
 2. Energy Saving Bulbs Emit a Lot of UV Rays

These lamps release UV-B and traces of UV-C radiation, which damages the eyes and leads to
skin cancer. Moreover, this radiation directly attacks the immune system, and damages the skin
tissues and thus impedes the proper formation of vitamin D-3.

3. Energy Saving Light Bulbs are Cancer-Linked

Peter Braun at Berlin Germanys Alab Laboratory conducted a study which revealed that these
light bulbs contain 3 known carcinogens, as follows:

Naphthalene This is a volatile white crystalline compound, a product of the distillation

of coal tar, and is used in mothballs and as a raw material for chemical manufacture.
Phenol This mildly acidic toxic white crystalline solid, is also a product from coal tar
and is commonly used in chemical manufacture.
Styrene This is an unsaturated liquid hydrocarbon, which is obtained as a petroleum
byproduct.

Therefore, these are some good reasons to go back to regular incandescent bulbs, arent they?

You will undoubtedly prevent dangerous accidents thus, but you should be really careful while
doing so, as any breakage will pose extremely serious health risks.

Due to this, the Environmental Protection Agency has created a very detailed protocol which
serves to help one deal with the mercury and cancer-linked chemicals in these light bulbs.

In the event of a bulb breakage, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provides the
following emergency procedure guidelines:

Before Cleanup

Your children and pets should leave the room, and you should open a window or a door to air out
the room for about 10minutes. You should also shut off the central forced-air heating/air-
conditioning system.

You will need the following materials:

Stiff paper or cardboard

Damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes
Sticky tape
A glass jar with a metal lid or a sealable plastic bag.

During Cleanup
You should collect the broken glass and powder, but do not vacuum, as it might spread mercury-
containing powder or mercury vapor. With the stiff paper or cardboard, scoop up the glass
fragments and powder, and pick up the smallest remains with the sticky tape.

Then, place it in the glass jar or plastic bag. The cleanup materials should be stored in a sealable
container.

After Cleanup

You should air out the room for several hours afterward, with the heating or air conditioning
turned off.

Note that you mustnt leave any bulb pieces or cleanup materials at home. Instead, put all bulb
debris and cleanup materials outdoors in a trash container or protected area.

Some localities require citizens to bring the fluorescent bulbs to a local recycling center. If yours
does not, dispose of them with the household trash.
Oregano Oil Benefits Superior to
Prescription Antibiotics?

Researchers have found that oregano oil can be superior to some antibiotics, as it provides
amazing effects in the battle against bacterial infections, but do not cause any side-effects.

Antibiotics can cause numerous side-effects, such as reduction of the vitamin absorption,
antibiotic resistance, the death of good bacteria (probiotics), and damage to the digestive lining
causing leaky gut.

On the other hand, this oil is a safe and effective way to treat bacteria and fungi, due to its
powerful compounds, carvacrol, and thymol.

The Wall Street Journal printed a very useful article which pointed out the terrible dis-service to
trusting patients:

Overuse of antibiotics, and prescribing broad-spectrum drugs when they arent needed, can
cause a range of problems. It can make the drugs less effective against the bacteria they are
intended to treat by fostering the growth of antibiotic-resistant infections. And it can wipe out the
bodys good bacteria (probiotics), which help digest food, produce vitamins and protect from
infections, among other functions.

In a July study published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, researchers from the
University of Utah and the CDC found that 60% of the time physicians prescribe antibiotics, they
choose broad-spectrum ones.

A similar study of children, published in the journal Pediatrics in 2011, found that when
antibiotics were prescribed they were broad-spectrum 50% of the time, mainly for respiratory
conditions

Both studies also found that about 25% of the time antibiotics were being prescribed for
conditions in which they have no use, such as viral infections.

Oregano is a member of the mint family (Labiatae), and the medicinal grade oregano is distilled
to extract the essential oil and to preserve its medicinal ingredients.
People have used it for more than 2,500 years, and they produced a pound of the oil from 1000
pounds of wild oregano. Its healing ingredient, carvacrol, is the main culprit for its beneficial
properties.

Oregano has a myriad of medicinal qualities, confirmed by more than 800 studies reference
carvacrol in PubMed, the worlds #1 database for scientific evidence-based literature.

Carvacrol effectively reverses and treats:

Inflammation
Bacterial infections
Viruses
Fungal infections
Parasites
Allergies
Viruses
Candida
Tumors

A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food confirmed the antibacterial activity of
oregano oil against 5 different types of bad bacteria.

Its best effects were found to be in the case of E. Coli, indicating that this oil would be of great
help in improving gastrointestinal health and preventing deadly food poisoning.

Furthermore, Pakistan researchers discovered that this oil is able to destroy cancer cells of many
different types.

Also, researchers at the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences found that
carvacrol prevents side effects to some of the most dangerous drugs in the world-Methotrexate
(MTX).

This drug is often used in the treatment of various health issues, from cancer to rheumatoid
arthritis, but it causes severe side-effects. Namely, scientists showed that oregano oil lowered the
pro-inflammatory response in mice being treated by MTX.

Additionally, Dutch researchers confirmed that oregano oil can also prevent bacterial
overgrowth and colonization in the large intestine during oral iron therapy, which is used to
treat anemia, but causes adverse effects like constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and
heartburn.

If you decide to enjoy the amazing beneficial properties of this essential oil, make sure you dilute
it with water or combine it with coconut oil. Moreover, pregnant women can safely use the dried
herb, but they should consult a doctor before they take the essential oil.
