- Then take the cooled liquid and apply to the heat rash throughout the day. </p>
<p><strong>15. Jewelweed</strong><br />
- Jewelweed or Touch-me-not plant is usually found in low lying areas near water.<br />
- If you take a few leaves and crush it in your hand and gently place it on the heat rash and you will have immediate relief.</p>
<p><strong>16. Lavender or Peppermint Oil</strong><br />
- A home remedy for heat rash that is very natural and soothing is this oil.<br />
- Lavender and peppermint oil has a cooling effect on skin.<br />
- This will help to reduce the painful prickly heat rash irritation.<br />
- Apply it directly to the skin.<br />
- Take a nice bath and infuse the bath water with these oils.</p>
<p><strong>17. Oatmeal Pack</strong><br />
- Take oatmeal and soak it in cool water to soften it.<br />
- This can take a couple hours.<br />
- After the oatmeal has soaked long enough, take the cool oats and apply them on the heat rash area.<br />
- Leave there for an hour or so.<br />
- This natural remedy works wonders and also helps to soften your skin.</p>
<p><strong>18. Powdered Calendula, Chamomile and Corn Starch</strong><br />
- Take a couple tablespoons of calendula powder, chamomile powder and cornstarch.<br />
- Mix these together for a very natural remedy for heat rash.<br />
- This remedy is even safe on babies.</p>
<p><strong>19. Stay Indoors</strong><br />
- Staying indoors and out of the sunlight is the best natural home remedy for heat rash.<br />
- Keeping cool and dressed in light airy clothing will help a lot.</p>
<p><strong>20. Mild Soap</strong><br />
- Use mild soaps and take cool shower to help heal the rash.<br />
- Use a light aloe Vera gel to ease the irritation. </p>
<p><strong>21. Cumin Seed and Coconut Oil Paste</strong><br />
- Take cumin seeds and grind them into a powder.<br />
- Then mix the powder with coconut oil, just enough oil to create a thick paste.<br />
- Take the paste and apply it to your heat rash about an hour or so before you take shower.</p>
<p><strong>22. Margossa Leaf</strong><br />
- Take some margossa leaves and boil them for about ten minutes.<br />
- After they are boiled, place them in your bath to make a nice healing herbal bath.<br />
- Soak it in your bath tub for twenty minutes.<br />
- Then air dry your body and rest in a cool room. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Common bites and stings</strong><br />
- Most bites and stings will heal on their own without a visit to a doctor.<br />
- The insect bites range from a normal mosquito to spider or a bee sting.<br />
- The severity depends on the insect.<br />
- Some insect bites might not be dangerous and mild.<br />
- Some can lead to severe swelling and may need doctor’s help upon the prolonged swelling of the bite.<br />
- Depending on which part the insect has bitten, the precautions can be taken.<br />
- For example, if it eyes or inside the nose or ear, doctor’s help is required at the earliest.<br />
- Redness, Itching, Irritation, Inflammation etc., are some symptoms of the bite.<br />
- There are several things you can do to relieve pain and itching and prevent infection from a bite or sting.</p>
<p><strong>Insect or spider bites or stings or contact with caterpillars</strong><br />
- Move away from the stinging or biting insect. Bees will alert other bees, making them more likely to sting.<br />
- Remain as calm and quiet as possible. Movement increases the spread of venom in the bloodstream.<br />
- If you have been stung by a bee and the stinger is still in the skin, remove the stinger as quickly as possible.</p>
<p><strong>If you have been stung on the arm or leg, do the following:</strong><br />
- Lower the limb at the time of the sting to slow the spread of venom.<br />
- You can elevate the limb to help reduce swelling.<br />
- Remove broken-off spines by placing cellophane tape or commercial facial peel over the area of the contact.<br />
- Then pull it off.</p>
<p><strong>Relieve pain, itching, and swelling</strong><br />
- Apply an ice pack to a bite or sting for 15 to 20 minutes once an hour for the first 6 hours.<br />
- When not using ice, keep a cool, wet cloth on the bite or sting for up to 6 hours.<br />
- Always keep a cloth between your skin and the ice pack.<br />
- Do not apply ice for longer than 15 to 20 minutes at a time.<br />
- Do not fall asleep with the ice on your skin.<br />
- Elevate the area of the bite or sting to decrease swelling.<br />
- Try a nonprescription medicine for the relief of itching, redness, and swelling. </p>
<p><strong>Be sure to follow the nonprescription medicine precautions like:</strong><br />
- An antihistamine taken by mouth, such as Benadryl or Chlor-Trimeton, may help relieve itching, redness, and swelling.<br />
- Don&#8217;t give antihistamines to your child.<br />
- A spray of local anesthetic containing benzocaine, such as Solarcaine, may help relieve pain.<br />
- If your skin reacts to the spray, stop using it.<br />
- Hydrocortisone 1% cream or calamine lotion applied to the skin may help relieve itching and redness.</p>
<p><strong>Other precautions :</strong><br />
- Remove the stinger with tweezers.<br />
- Scrape out the stinger, moving parallel to the skin surface.<br />
- This will help to reduce the chance of pumping more venom.<br />
- Bathe the stung area with a solution of baking soda and water.<br />
- Immediately apply ice packs to reduce swelling (lining the pack with cloth or a thin towel).<br />
- Do this frequently for 5 minutes at a time.<br />
- A swollen muzzle often indicates a bee sting.<br />
- Stings and bites can cause severe reactions. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>INITIAL STEPS</h2>
<p><strong>Stop the bleeding:</strong><br />
- The first thing to do (after admonishing yourself for being so clumsy) is to stop the bleeding.<br />
- Apply pressure to the area with a clean cloth or tissue.<br />
- Elevate the wound above the heart to slow the blood flow.<br />
- Don&#8217;t use a tourniquet as it cuts off circulation.</p>
<p><strong>Wash up:</strong><br />
- Clean it thoroughly with soap and water or an over-the-counter cleanser.<br />
- Hibiclens is one of them and that doesn&#8217;t sting.<br />
- Pour hydrogen peroxide onto the wound, if it is very dirty.<br />
- As it bubbles, it will lift out debris.<br />
- Apply it carefully, because hydrogen peroxide can damage surrounding skin.</p>
<p><strong>Bring on the antibacterial ointment:</strong><br />
- Antibacterial ointments and solutions are helpful.<br />
- Polysporin, Neosporin, and Bactine are examples. </p>
<p><strong>Clean with iodine:</strong><br />
- Use a tincture of iodine or povidone-iodine for minor cuts and bruises.<br />
- Iodine kills bacteria and viruses effectively.</p>
<p><strong>Close the skin:</strong><br />
- Properly closing the skin is important.<br />
- Closing makes the cut heal faster.<br />
- It also reduces the chances of scarring.<br />
- Apply butterfly strips or a standard adhesive bandage to keep the cut closed.</p>
<p><strong>Cover it:</strong><br />
- Use Telfa, a coated, gauze-type bandage instead of a guage that tends to stick to the wound.<br />
- Don&#8217;t cover it too tightly.<br />
- A bit of air circulation actually facilitates healing.</p>
<p><strong>Keep it clean:</strong><br />
- Remove the bandage and wash the wound every day with soap and water.<br />
- This will prevent infection.<br />
- Then apply a clean bandage.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t let it dry out:</strong><br />
- Keep the wound moist.<br />
- This will help prevent cracking, speed healing, and reduce the chance of scarring.</p>
<p><strong>If a scab forms, don&#8217;t pick at it:</strong><br />
- This disrupts the skin and can introduce bacteria.<br />
- Soak crusty scabs with a solution of one tablespoon white vinegar to one pint of water.<br />
- The mildly acidic solution is soothing and helps kill bacteria.</p>
<p>At night, keep the wound moist with a water/petrolatum regimen<br />
Cover the wound with a little petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) to seal in the moisture.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t get locked up:</strong><br />
- Consider having a tetanus shot within 72 hours.</p>
<p><strong>Protect it from sunlight:</strong><br />
- Avoid sun exposure during the healing process.<br />
- Apply over-the-counter hydrocortisone to the wound.</p>
<p><strong>The following vitamin and mineral supplements are recommended to aid in rapid healing:</strong><br />
- Beta-carotene. Take 25,000 international units a day.<br />
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). Take 50 milligrams a day<br />
- Vitamin C. Take 3,000 to 5,000 milligrams a day.<br />
- Vitamin E. Take 400 international units a day<br />
- Zinc. Take 50 to 100 milligrams a day.</p>
<p><strong>Different Home Remedies</strong><br />
- Cover the cut with a mixture of zinc oxide cream and vitamin-E oil.<br />
- Calendula gel or ointment stimulates fast healing at the skin&#8217;s surface.<br />
- Clove oil is high in eugenol, a compound that is both an antiseptic and a painkiller.<br />
- You can sprinkle powdered cloves on a cut to prevent infection.<br />
- Comfrey roots and leaves contain allantoin, which stimulates cell division and speeds wound healing.<br />
- It also avoids scar formation.<br />
- Echinacea is also Commission E-approved as a topical treatment for superficial cuts.<br />
- This herb has powerful immune-stimulating properties.<br />
- Drink a cup of echinacea tea three to four times a day to strengthen your immune system to speed healing.<br />
- Goldenseal contains several antiseptic compounds.<br />
- Apply a poultice of crushed goldenseal root to any minor cuts.<br />
- Yarrow is excellent for stopping bleeding.<br />
- Sprinkle powdered yarrow extract onto the cut.<br />
- A great home remedy for cuts is turmeric powder.<br />
- This can be applied to a cut to promote healing and prevent infection.<br />
- Wash the cut thoroughly and then put garlic oil or crushed garlic on a band aid.<br />
- Washing the cut or scrape with soap, dose it with vitamin E oil, aloe vera gel or cod liver oil.<br />
- Use cayenne pepper to stop the bleeding of cuts and scratches.<br />
- Wash the wound with a good soap.  Then apply a thick layer of Vaseline.<br />
- Yarrow leaves and flowers have been used for their blood-clotting, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving qualities.</p>
<p><strong>There are a number of herbal first-aid creams available:</strong><br />
- Calendula in echinacea-and-comfrey combinations<br />
- Calendula blended with white sage<br />
- Elder flower, and chickweed;<br />
- Calendula mixed with goldenseal propolis and myrrh. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nails are made of keratin, the same type of protein in your hair.<br />
Each nail actually consists of several parts, all of which play an important role in its health and growth:</p>
<p>- <strong>Nail plate</strong><br />
This is what you see as the fingernail.<br />
- <strong>Nail bed</strong><br />
This lies below the nail plate; the two are attached. The capillaries in the nail bed nourish the nail and give it its pinkish color.<br />
- <strong>Nail matrix</strong><br />
It&#8217;s below the cuticle at the base of the nail. Cells in the matrix produce the fingernail. If the matrix gets damaged, your nail will be not in shape or may even stop growing completely.<br />
- <strong>Lunula</strong><br />
This is the part of the matrix that you can see. It&#8217;s the half-moon-shaped portion at the bottom of your nail.<br />
- <strong>Cuticle</strong><br />
This fold of skin, made of dead cells, keeps foreign substances, such as infection-causing bacteria, out.<br />
- <strong>Nail fold</strong><br />
This is the ridge of skin around the nail.</p>
<p><strong>Facts about Nails:</strong><br />
- Nails can become brittle during the summer months in the sun and swimming.<br />
- Sun and chlorine can make your nails brittle.<br />
- To protect your fingernails while washing dishes, gardening, or cleaning with any type of harsh chemicals, wear gloves.<br />
- If your nails are brittle, do not use perfumed lotions that have alcohol.<br />
- This will cause the nails to become brittle.<br />
- Do not bite your nails.<br />
- Quit using your nails to scrape stuff off the counter top, or off of the dishes.<br />
- Do not use them to open letters.<br />
- Soaps and cleaners will dry out your hands and nails.<br />
- Always use a hand lotion or cream after washing your hands.</p>
<p><strong>Some of the causes of nail problem are:</strong><br />
- Iron deficiency will cause your nails to become spoon shaped.<br />
- Your nails may become clubbed.<br />
- Swelling around the ends of your fingers.<br />
- Sometimes your toes are swollen.<br />
- It might be if you have a respiratory or heart problem.<br />
- If you have psoriasis your nails may become pitted.<br />
- The biggest nail problem seen in toe nails is ingrown.<br />
- Another nail problem is discoloration.<br />
- As you get older your nails develop vertical ridges. </p>
<p><strong>Main Home Remedies</strong><br />
- Avoid the culprits like the detergents and cleansers.<br />
- Keep your nails short.<br />
- Be careful of nail bangers in place of a screwdriver, a scraper, or other tool.<br />
- Moisturize your nails. Your nails contain no fat, so they can&#8217;t naturally hold in moisture.<br />
- Complex 15, Aquaderm, and Moisturel are some of the phosphates which can be tried.<br />
- Avoid moisture when your nail becomes infected, particularly with a yeast organism.<br />
- Care for your cuticles and don&#8217;t cut them with a mechanical instrument, which breaks down the cuticle&#8217;s natural protection from bacteria and moisture.<br />
- Don&#8217;t pick or tear at hangnails by making a break in the skin where bacteria can enter and can cause infection.<br />
- Realize the risk with nail cosmetics.<br />
- Forget formaldehyde.<br />
- Cut down on polish remover. Nail polish remover contains acetone, which dries nails.<br />
- Don&#8217;t eat gelatin in a hope to build strong nails.<br />
- Use of calcium. It helps build bones but has little or nothing to do with the hardness of your nails. </p>
<p><strong>Home Remedies from the Cupboard</strong><br />
- Baking soda. Clean your nails and soften cuticles by scrubbing them with a nailbrush dipped in baking soda.<br />
- Use Vinyl gloves, Cotton gloves<br />
- Use Biotin<br />
- Soaking painful ingrown nails in a warm saltwater solution will help ease the pain and relieve swelling.<br />
- Add 1 tablespoon salt per quart of water and soak for 30 minutes.<br />
- A saltwater soak can also make tough nails easier to trim.<br />
- Try soaking nails in the same solution for five to ten minutes before trimming.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are very few nail problems or disorders. Most are associated from the results of injury, from a nutritional, respiratory, or heart disorder. The nail problem can be seen as discoloration or deformity.</p>
<p><strong>What are nails made of?</strong><br />
- They are made of a hard protein called keratin.<br />

- The biggest nail problem seen in toe nails is ingrown.<br />

- As you get older your nails develop vertical ridges. </p>
<p><strong>The cause is the mal absorption of:</strong><br />
- Vitamins A<br />
- B complex<br />
- Vitamin C<br />
- Calcium<br />
- Magnesium<br />
- Zinc<br />
- Other essential fatty acids</p>
<p><strong>Reasons for discolored nails can include:</strong><br />

- Your nails need water just like your hair and body.<br />
- If your nails are splitting or are weak it could be from not drinking enough water.</p>
<p><strong>There are some natural home treatments which should be taken 4 times a day for up to 3 weeks for the following nail problems:<br />
