Herbal Medicines for Bruises
Description
A bruise gets its deep color from a blood vessel or vessels that break under the skin and leak blood into the surrounding area. As it heals, it becomes paler in color and less painful to the touch. Depending on how many vessels were broken, bruises can be the size of a pencil eraser or 6 or more inches across. A black eye is also bruise-if there is no accompanying eye damage or nose breakage, it can be treated just like any other bruise.
Bruises are caused when enough pressure is placed on the skin to break the blood vessels underneath. A few of the ways this can be accomplished are: by being gripped too tightly, by being struck (by a hand, foot, or object), by falling, or by walking into something.

Why Losing Weight With Laxative Might Be A Risk.
Laxatives gained prominence as a medium for relieving chronic constipation. Slowly, chemical, herbal and other forms of laxatives gained the reputation of being effective colon-cleansing agents. However, in the last decade many dubious manufactures have started peddling laxatives as a medium for ‘quickly’ and ‘effectively’ losing weight. Unsuspecting and misinformed customers, desperately searching for a quick-fix solution for their weight-related issues have fallen trap to such misleading advertisements. However, the fact is that using laxatives for losing or controlling body weight is actually a form of laxative abuse. This abuse goes beyond the realm of dubious market products – many individuals deliberately use laxatives as a way of keeping away the extra pounds, even though they realize the potential health hazards linked with it.
Are laxatives always bad?

Understanding the Threats of Leukemia
Good news for those who need treatments for leukemia: new research reveals that Parthenolide, a compound present in the Feverfew plant, could kill leukemia stem cells without harming healthy blood cells. It was found out that after 18 hours, leukemia cells exposed to Parthenolide was destroyed. This is better than Cytaribine, a common drug used in chemotherapy, because Cytaribine is known to decrease blood cells within the bone marrow. Parthenolide may also make cancerous cells more sensitive to cancer-fighting agents so that destruction of these may be speeded up. With a little modification and testing, it would be an effective cure against this dreaded disease.
In Ayurveda, Leukemia is viewed as an imbalance which results from the failure of the digestive system. The food is not ingested and broken down properly. This creates a poisonous slime which circulates in the body and kills the healthy parts in it. To remedy this, the three elements of vata, pitta and kapha present in the body must be rebalanced. This can be done through a balanced diet. Eating raw fruit and vegetables purifies the toxins in the digestive system. Also, a relaxed lifestyle will do wonders, along with proper sleep and exercise. By doing these, the toxins will be removed, the balance restored and positive energies are freer to heal the body.
