How To Relieve Allergies Naturally?

The change of seasons can sometimes bring more than just a shift in the weather or a transition of colors.

While there are many pharmaceutical remedies lining the aisles of drugstores, natural methods of  relieving allergy  symptoms do exist.

Fight Acne Naturally 💆

If there’s one medical issue that afflicts teenagers and young adults more than any other, that condition is  acne vulgaris , the medical term for acne or, simply, the condition of having too many pimples.  Acne  is caused by excess sebum—an oily secretion produced by the skin’s sebaceous glands—and dead skin cells that block up hair follicles. The result is “breakouts” that often appear on the face, but can also pop up on the neck, back, chest and shoulders.   Why do some people suffer from acne while others maintain clear skin throughout puberty and young adulthood? There are numerous reasons, but genetics play a big role along with exposome—the sum of one’s environmental exposures, including nutrition, lifestyle, occupational conditions, pollutants, medications taken, and climate. In general, boys tend to be more affected by acne than girls, but the condition can be devastating for anyone who must contend with it. Elevated testosterone levels, as experienced by bo...

6 Natural Supplements For Kidney Stones

What Do Our Kidneys Do? The primary purpose of the kidneys is to filter blood and excrete urine. After filtering the blood, urine is created, passed down into the ureters (the tubes that connect each kidney to the bladder), and stored in the bladder until it exits the body through the urethra. This process helps remove toxins from the body while also assisting in maintaining balance of crucial electrolytes such as sodium,  potassium ,  calcium , and  magnesium . ‌‌ ‌‌What Are Kidney Stones? When the urine contains more crystal-making substances than the urine can dilute, kidney stones can develop. They also travel down into the ureter, where they can become stuck. When this occurs, the pain can be excruciating. Kidney stones are very common and occur in up to 10% of the population.  ‌‌ ‌‌Symptoms of Kidney Stones Symptoms of kidney stones normally arise quickly, and they may also fade quickly. Stones can cause colicky flank pain, which tends to radiate from the mid-b...

Ayurveda for Moving into Spring 🌺

     According to Ayurveda, one of the keys to maintaining health is to practice ritucharya—seasonal routines. Adjusting our daily self-care rituals to seasonal changes helps us maintain balance and reminds us that we are a part of the natural world. Spring is ruled by the kapha dosha , whose qualities are heavy, cool, soft, dense, stable, solid, and cloudy. To adjust for the season , consider the following practices: Wake with the sunrise . One of the best practices to minimize the heavy quality of kapha in the mind and body is to wake with the sun (around 5:30 am this time of year). Dawn is ruled by vata and is light, clear, and subtle. Get moving. When kapha is dominant in the day, the muscles are strongest between 6:00 and 10:00 am. Get outside for a brisk walk or do some vigorous yoga to melt away excess kapha. Kapalabhati pranayama is a great way to stoke the fires of digestion. Eat lighter foods. In the winter months, we naturally gravitate to...
