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...
