Problems and Remedies

This is my science-updated take on an old Ayurvedic treatment beloved of Indian grandmothers. Treatment for what, you may wonder. Just about everything. Although clinical evidence supporting its cure-all reputation is scanty (not many big studies have been funded), what is around looks very promising. Very promising indeed. And with 14 centuries of culinary and medicinal use, perhaps grandmother really does know best. Why is turmeric so good for us? Looking at the wide-ranging literature (both clinical and not), turmeric seems to be anti just about anything bad: viruses, disease- causing bacteria, carcinogens – perhaps even vampires: who knows. Turmeric is also widely used to support digestive health and treat gastrointestinal complaints, such as IBS and colitis. This highly-pigmented root – that we typically use ground – tastes like a very peppery ginger (to which it is related). It is also what makes curries yellow. Many integrative cancer centers in the US and i...

Vitamin C is one of the most crucial vitamins for your immune system and for healthy nervous system function. It also helps support healthy skin by protecting skin tissue and aiding in collagen production. Vitamin C helps reduce stress mentally and physically, helps protect the body from illness, and can even help relieve inflammation in your joints. Since Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant in the body , increasing your intake can only help you out. Iron is a critical mineral needed for energy, a healthy metabolism, healthy red blood cell function, and providing adequate oxygen to the body. There are two forms of iron: heme and nonheme iron. Since plants come in the form of nonheme iron, some people believe that a vegan diet isn't adequate in providing enough iron for optimal absorption. While this isn't true, it is important to eat in a way that optimizes iron intake for ultimate absorption. Pairing Vitamin C with iron has been shown to improve absorption a...

By standardized test scores, the two best countries are South Korea and Finland. What's interesting, according to those who've studied it is that they take kind of opposite approaches. South Korea's primary education is highly structured, emphasizing memorization, long hours and lots of homework. Finland, on the other hand, apparently has a much less structured system, which emphasizes critical thinking, curiosity and real world applications. I think the constant in countries with the best education is that they attract the best and most skilled teachers, usually pay them well, and give them a great deal of support. -- With Regards, Hafiz Ahmad

Two recent polls demonstrate that support for Donald Trump in the military and among veterans outpaces support for both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. A MayMilitary Times surveyof active-duty troops showed Trump beating Clinton by better than a 2-to-1 margin. A Morning Consult poll of veterans and active-duty members taken later the same month showed the likely Republican nominee leading his Democratic rival by 9 percentage points. People ask me on a regular basis why so many veterans support Trump. First, we must consider that the military personnel in general seem to skew a bit to the right. If we have more Republicans in the military — through self-selection or geographically targeted recruiting in the South — it stands to reason to have more military personnel support for the Republican nominee. --

Google wants to transform your bathroom into a high-tech area for monitoring your cardiovascular health. US Patent and Trademark Office A Google patent published Thursday outlines embedding sensors into different parts of the bathroom, like the toilet seat and bath mat, to measure how healthy your heart is. For example, the sensors in the bath mat could record your heart beat by measuring your body's electrical behavior. The patent also outlines putting a camera in the bathroom mirror to measure skin color variations, and creating an "ultrasonic bathtub" that could generate high-frequency waves to perform an echo test. Google claims in its patent that the different techniques would "provide substantially more valuable (or at least different) data of a person's health that those provided in a medical office or hospital."

FindFace's technology may one day allow anyone to identify you with their phone. FindFace, an app launched by a Russian startup two months ago, lets its users identify strangers from pictures of their faces. It does so by matching the photos against profile pictures from VK—also known as VKontakte—a Russian social networking website similar to Facebook. Its founders have touted the app as great for building friendships or starting relationships with strangers. But the privacy risks are enormous.

Also known as lithium-air, the tech has been in the news before with promise for five to 15-times more efficiency than standard lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-air batteries are considered highly promising technologies for electric cars and portable electronic devices because of their potential for delivering a high energy output in proportion to their weight. But such batteries have some pretty serious drawbacks: They waste much of the injected energy as heat and degrade relatively quickly. They also require expensive extra components to pump oxygen gas in and out, in an open-cell configuration that is very different from conventional sealed batteries. A Li-air cell creates voltage from the availability of oxygen molecules (O2) at the positive electrode. O2 reacts with the positively charged lithium ions to form lithium peroxide (Li2O2) and generate electric energy.

In this drab city 55 miles west of Vilnius, there are few heritage sites as mysterious and lovely looking as the Seventh Fort. This 18-acre red-brick bunker complex, which dates to 1882, features massive underground passages that connect its halls and chambers. Above ground, the hilltop fortress is carpeted with lush grass and flowers whose yellow blooms attract bees and songbirds along with families who come here to frolic in the brief Baltic summer. It's also a popular venue for graduation parties and wedding receptions, complete with buffets and barbecues, as well as summer camps for children who enjoy the elaborate treasure hunts around the premises.

In one or a few areas of the body: "Focal" means that the excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) affects one or a few parts of the body. The areas of the body most commonly affected are the underarms, hands and/or feet, and forehead. Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is an embarrassing condition that affects millions of Americans. Although it's not medically dangerous, hyperhidrosis can seriously interfere with work, love, and play. Most people with hyperhidrosis have never seen a doctor about their condition. If you suffer from excessive sweating, you may feel like you've tried everything. You may have lost hope. Therapy for hyperhidrosis can be challenging for both the patient and the physician. Both topical and systemic medications have been used. Botulinum toxin can be injected into the skin in areas of the body affected by hyperhidrosis. This helps reduce sweating in these areas by blocking the signals from the brain to the sweat glands. Around 15-20 inject...

3-D movies immerse us in new worlds and allow us to see places and things in ways that we otherwise couldn't. But behind every 3-D experience is something that is uniformly despised: those goofy glasses. Fortunately, there may be hope. In a new paper, a team from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) and Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science have demonstrated a display that lets audiences watch 3-D films in a movie theater without extra eyewear. Dubbed "Cinema 3D," the prototype uses a special array of lenses and mirrors to enable viewers to watch a 3-D movie from any seat in a theater.

چاہے آپ اپنے بال چھوٹے رکھیں یا لمبے۔ یہ بات بالوں میں استعمال ہونے والی پروٹین کی مقدار پر اثرانداز نہیں ہوتی۔  کیونکہ بال صرف جڑوں سے بڑھتے ہیں۔ جب بال نکل آئیں تو اس بات سے کوئی فرق نہیں پڑتا کہ آپ ان کو کاٹتے ہیں یا نہیں۔ اگرچہ ہر کسی کا قد زیادہ تر جینیاتی مقرر طے ہوتا ہے، لیکن عام طور پر زیادہ لمبا قد زیادہ بہتر خوراک سے اس کو بہتر بنایا جا سکتا ہے۔

Back Pain – Homeopathy Treatment & Homeopathic Remedies#Rhus toxicodendron [Rhus.t] A violent pain in the back, as if broken, is the greatest characteristic of Rhus in the back pain. It is more characteristic than the symptom “relief from motion,” for Rhus may be indicated where the patient is worse from motion. Rhus seems to be especially suitable to affections of the deeper muscles of the back. There are great pains,dull,bruised, and aching on attempting to rise, showing,thus, the aggravation on commencing motion. It is more suitable to the chronic forms of lumbago, while Aconite suits the acute forms, and will often times give prompt relief. Baehr prefers Tartar emetic even to Rhus and Arnica in lumbago. The back pain of Rhus is better from pressure, but worse in bed. The Rhus patient likes to lie on sometime hard. Natrum muriaticum has this same symptom–back pain relieved by lying on something on hard. The Rhus pains are relieved by bending backwards. Sulphur has lumbar pains, ...
