You know what they say, "Alternative medicine is no alternative to medicine." Water can’t cure disease (except dehydration), but it’s cheap, and makes a handy snake oil.

Skin discoloration help ?
Okay. So, I’m a olive color and every winter my face seems to get lighter than my body which i find very strange. Like, my face gets very light; and my body gets lighter too but not nearly as light as my face. I think its because of the cold weather (since i live in the northeast) or because of my allergies.
Not sure. Are there any home remedies or lotions to lighten my body.. or darken my face?
BTW; do not tell me to get a tan on my face cuz thats nearly impossible for me. While in the sun my body gets darker right away while my face doesn’t its weird. PLUS theres rarely any sun out here (*since its almost winterrr)
OH & I’m Japanese/Brazilian. So my skins somewhat tanner than a normal Japanese. Since my dad is pale white and my mom is tan. So yeah; Idk if that helps.
But yeah; HELPPPP?
Anythinggg? I heard Papaya soap helps and Cocoa butter? hum?
(10 POINTS)
♥
Don’t tan it!! Glad you already know that.
Try a tinted moisturizer. Oil of Olay recently came out with one I really like – it’s in a tall bottle and the moisturizer is swirled around with the foundation, plus it’s got a SPF 15 which is essential for keeping your skin away from harmful UV rays. I think they have 3 colors. It works really well for me.
Ok I had to get up and look: Definity Color Recapture. You can get it in most drug stores.

Any home remedies to get rid of a scratch. Like i don’t want to buy anything expensive. Just tips to make the scratch heal faster.
Thanks =)
Baking soda mixed into a paste and put on area that is itching, or have a nice hot bath with some salt in the water.
Good Luck

ive searched many different things on home remedies for acne. ive also asked on yahoo answers but that didnt work….. so far ive found nothing that i can use without leaving my house this moment. so the state of my skin is kinda dry. i have pimples EVERYWHERE no specific places. forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose. i have blackheads on my nose too. my pimples arent all white heads some are just bumps. not red or inflamed but they have puss, what r they? ok so i am looking for home remedies that dont have honey or lemons bc i dont have any. DO NOT SAY TOOTH PASTE my pimples are just one here or there its like 6 new ones every day. if i pop them (which i have a tendency to do) i get scars and stuff. so home remedies to clear up acne (hopefully in a week if possible i start school in 9 days and counting) uhm also if u guys have any suggestions on how i can stop myself from popping my pimples
i am so not using proactive bc i know i cant afford it (my mom will make me pay for it) and ive read that if u stop using it the acne will get even worse. also is neutrogena a good product?
try taking a multiple vitamin/mineral with zinc in it…you might be low on zinc.

If you were told that Japanese women suffer up to 80% less menopause symptoms than other women in the world would you wonder why? You bet you would! Well, this is true. For thousands of years, Japanese woman have gone through the menopausal years much easier than other women have. They do not have the same degree of symptoms as other women and when faced with symptoms, they know exactly what to do to make them stop. Well, if you have entered the early menopausal years, having monthly periods light, heavy, or infrequent, coupled with things like night sweats, moodiness, and hot sweats, chances are you are eager to learn the secret. In this article, we will address Japanese medicine and supplements, and menopause!
One of the most popular types of Japanese medicine and supplements for menopause is Black Cohosh. In addition to being used in Asian, Black Cohosh is also very widely used in Europe. While this particular herb helps with many menopausal symptoms, it is most beneficial in treating hot flashes and night sweats. Typically, doctors will recommend you not take this herb for longer than six months since some preliminary studies show that Black Cohosh when taken long-term could increase the risk of endometrial cancer.
While Black Cohosh is certainly beneficial, the most popular type of Japanese medicine and supplements for menopause is soy. The reason is that soy contains phytoestrogens, which are estrogen-like substances. When you go through menopause, the body stops producing estrogen. With this, you will start to have irregular menstrual cycles, which could mean heavier or lighter periods, or longer or shorter periods. By taking soy, the body’s low estrogen levels can be replaced but naturally.
Japanese women will consume soy or soy products on a daily basis. The interesting thing about this is that only 35% of women in this country complain of menopause symptoms. Because of this, researchers have taken notice and over the years, have been trying to determine first, if there is in fact a connection and two, just how that connection works. While soy is considered a perfectly normal Japanese medicine and supplement for menopause, for women in other countries they should start slowly by incorporating soymilk and/or tofu into the diet. Then over several weeks, increase the amount of soy being consumed until you reach between 40 and 80mg of these isoflavones each day. The result should be a noticeable improvement in the menopausal symptoms.
Okay, so what other Japanese medicines and supplements are for menopause? Japanese arrowroot is another type of isoflavones that includes daidzin, daidzein, genistein, and puerarin. These chemicals are extracted from kudzu and in the past few years, the chemicals have been carefully studies to determine what effect on the body they have. What these studies have shown is that arrowroot helps reduce inflammation and relieving muscle pain. Since women going through menopause often deal with joint and muscle pain, arrowroot is just one more tool in the toolbox so to speak in fighting against these types of symptoms.
Keep in mind that the isoflavones in kudzu is actually a part of a larger group of chemicals – phytoestrogens. Just as with soy, these natural chemicals replace lost estrogen, which provides relief for hot flashes, night sweats, and even helps fight against bone loss associated with menopause that can cause osteoporosis or osteoarthritis. In fact, although not really understood, some experts now believe phytoestrogens can help with mood swings. Just remember that phytoestrogens foods, herbs, and spices have been used for thousands of years, safely. However, this type of Japanese medicine and supplement for menopause should be used only in low doses to prevent further imbalances within the body.
Next on the list of Japanese medicines and supplements for menopause is Dong Quai, which has been shown to be highly beneficial for menopause symptoms. In fact, recent studies show that symptoms are reduced by as much as 30% in women taking Dong Quai. This herb acts like an estrogen but contains B vitamins, muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatory factors, and even some progesterone-like substances that help with menopausal symptoms. Japanese women commonly use ginseng, which has normal hormonal qualities. Ginseng helps with hot flashes, night sweats, and can even help with mood swings. Finally, if you are having trouble with anxiety, depression, and insomnia, Kava Kava is an excellent solution.

If your or someone you know is struggling to get pregnant, reverse infertility with uterine fibroids treatment – then you need to start here. You see I thought I was infertile before getting pregnant twice in my 40s and contrary to all doctor’s advice and opinions.
After years of trying with my partner, after visiting scores of doctors and speaking to every specialist under the sun I was diagnosed by one as having ‘non-specific infertility’ and told there was nothing I could do to reverse infertility.
And so began my quest, my struggle and battle against the odds to find an alternative way to reverse fertility and uterine fibroid treatment. To be honest – at first I was scared by the diagnosis of the benign growths, that there was nothing I could do and that my life would be childless and lonely.
The thought of living my childless was crushing. Spending hours around friends, holding and watching their children laughing, smiling and growing up was torture and put strains on what was a great relationship with my partner. And the more you want to get pregnant, the more you see the happy faces in parks, on holidays and walking down the street.
After endless unhelpful running battles with doctors who said they could nothing (or that I would have to wait longer for fertility treatment) I took a step back and did everything possible to find a uterine fibroid treatment that would work.
The two beautiful children I have today are proof enough and the doctors were wrong.
Step One – Try Proteolytic Enzymes
No one really knows what uterine fibroids are caused by. What we do know is that they are small collections of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue.
These enzymes break down the fibrous tissues that make up fibroids and help reverse infertility problems caused by them.
Step Two – Use Chinese Herbal Remedies
Many Chinese medicine doctors believe that a combination of natural herbs for infertility can make fibroids smaller, even eliminate them and help you conceive a baby.
Fibroids were first mentioned in Chinese medicine as far back as 100BC. Herbal formulas have also been described in Japanese medicine for smaller fibroids and clinical trials have shown reductions in size.
Step Three – Watch your diet
Medical evidence has shown a greater risk of uterine fibroids in women consuming caffeine and alcohol. Of course quantity is important however this very fact illustrates the importance of keeping healthy and eating well.
Vegetable consumption, vegetable juices, whole grain food and food high in iron on the other hand are believed to help combat fibroids and obviously build a healthy body.
Taking a step back to look at my life, my lifestyle and what I was doing to get pregnant – I took an alternative route. To find natural fertility cures, looked at Eastern and Western methods and got results. Without chemicals, without drugs and without any voodoo magic tricks my health improved, I looked younger and I got pregnant.
All it took was a little pro-activity on my behalf and an overwhelming desire to get pregnant naturally, find a uterine fibroid treatment and have healthy children.
