 Kalonji seeds, also known as black cumin seeds, black seeds or Nigella sativa comes from a flowering plant from southern parts of Europe, North Africa and South West Asia. But why am I mentioning this on a natural health site. This small but very potent seed is used in natural medicine and may just be one of natures best kept secrets. Have doubts? Allow me to explain why and how it is good for natural health.

These are just some of the many benefits of kalonji seeds. But as with everything there is a few things to know. Never take more than five kaloni seeds a day as it increases body temperature. Taking too many may cause constipation. So please be mindful of that. Remember the golden rule too much of something may turn into a disaster. So please do not overdo it. If you are suffering from diabetes take note it can affect your blood glucose levels so it is considered wise to start with only one seed if needed. The same apply to people that suffer from high blood pressure as it is known that Kalonji seeds may affect blood pressure levels. So please don't start with five seeds. Start with one and after a week you can up the dosage to 2 and continue with that or as time progress you can later increase if needed. And please keep track of your condition.

How to use
Now there is a few ways to use kalonji seeds. But allow me to start by saying that kalonji seeds become much more effective when combined with honey and lemon juice. But then some consider garlic combined with Kalonji seeds just as effective when combined.
For me personally it is part of my daily routine. Every morning I pour boiling hot water in a cup. Add the seeds, teaspoon honey and tablespoon lemon juice. But that is what I personally prefer.
Alternatively you can take seeds, pour very small amount (just enough to cover the seeds) lemon juice over it. Place in a warm space with direct sunlight. Leave till all the liquid is absorbed (next day) and drink it. 
Then as many will be able to confirm it can be used in cooking.
Or take kalonji seeds. Follow that up with a small amount of honey. But it is advised to do this on an empty stomach in the morning at least half an hour before coffee tea or breakfast.
Now this post I credit to someone very close to my heart as the person pointed me in the direction of this very potent and natural product for a healthy lifestyle. So the next time you think of natural products for your health. Don't forget to add Kalonji seeds to your list. You will see and feel an improvement in your life.

Sunshine. 

As much as we all need vitamin D. Do remember that the sun's Ultraviolet rays are harmful for your skin. It will cause premature ageing. And in the process wrinkles too.

Stress. 

It is vital to learn to control stress. Do remember that each time you frown you deepening the creases and as your body doesn't create collagen as it used to. It takes longer to recover and repair. One person said open your eyes and stop frowning. Not sure about that. But if it works for you. Then do that.

Other ways that you can follow. 

Mix honey yogurt lemon juice and the contents of a vitamin E capsule. Apply on freshly cleansed face. Leave it on for ten minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water. Apply your facial cream.

Or you can apply a few drops coconut oil/sweet almond oil on the wrinkled areas every night before bed.

Then there is this highly regarded home remedy.

Gram flour(chickpea flour) 1 and half teaspoon

Turmeric powder. It needs to be less than half a teaspoon

Raw milk. Just enough to make a nice paste. 

Mix the ingredients. Apply on freshly cleansed face. Leave it on for 30 minutes. Rinse your face with lukewarm water.

If you don't have gram flour (chickpea flour) You can make your own following these steps.

Making chickpea flour

  

If you use a high power blender. You will be able to make the flour. Blend the chickpeas in the blender. For at least 2 minutes.

Now use a sieve to remove any lumps as you want the consistency of flour. 

Chickpea flour can be stored in an airtight container for up to 8 weeks. But do remember to put it in the fridge.

Now do remember one thing please. If you do use the lemon home remedy mentioned earlier. Your skin will be more sensitive in sunlight so best to avoid the sunlight. Or better yet do this at night.

Treating a wound the natural way. What should you do?

What do you do if you have a wound that does not want to heal? How do you treat it? Truth is most of us believe using a product such as Dettol Savlon or any other antiseptic liquid alike is good to disinfect a wound. But here is the part you probably didn't know. As good as these products are. It has a troublesome side too. It kills all bacteria. Meaning those good bacteria too. So with that in mind. I want to share a few ways that is safe to disinfect a wound. The natural way.

The first way. Vinegar 

This one applies especially if you have to deal with a wound that doesn't heal easily. Spray vinegar. Just two three squirts is enough. In small amounts it kill the bio-film that is preventing a wound from healing. How do you know that your sore has bio-film? By the dark red color. That some will describe to have a shine on it. But either way. It doesn't have that light pink color that a wound would have otherwise. And obviously isn't easy to heal.

I have not used this method as I prefer salt water. But am told that it will sting because of the acidity of the vinegar.

The second way. Salt.

If you are a loyal reader of this site. You would have read that salt is one of the most natural ways to disinfect.

1 teaspoon (5ml) salt

500 ml boiled water. Cooled down.

Mix everything in a bowl. Wash the wound with the salt water. Dry the area gently. 

Use this salt water mixture to kill all the harmful bacteria while protecting the good ones. This advice was given to me after I had to treat a wound.

The third way. Raw honey.

Honey can actually heal a diabetic wound. 

Honey is one of natures most potent antibacterial products that few probably will consider when dealing with a wound. If you apply raw honey on a wound it will kill the harmful bacteria and even help the wound to heal. 

What else can be done when dealing with wounds?

Depending on the wound and the person. It is also good to have high protein meals as it encourages wounds to heal fast. Protein is the building blocks of your body. Protein is a must for someone that has a wound that needs to heal. So whether you are a vegetarian or not. Fill up on those proteins. Whether it be peanuts meat or any other source. You will find that it helps the wound to heal faster. 

Please Note

But take note. This is very important. If you are dealing with a wound that does not want to heal no matter what you do. It is absolutely important to see a doctor. It can tell you something is wrong and needs attention. 

This article is based on two things. Personal experience that I know works. And advice from a lady that deals with wounds all the time. A lady that deals with diabetic wounds. So as I share it. I know it really works. I too used products like Dettol and Savlon thinking I am doing the right thing. But after my conversation with the lady I realized that it isn't the wisest thing to do.

I hope this article is helpful and answered your concern. If you have any questions comments or suggestions. Feel free to comment below or contact us.

Now if you combine that with a home made face and body cream. You will wonder why you ever considered buying store bought face cream. And as the cream can be used for a body lotion you will be happy and amazed. But that article isn't what we will check out now.

Lets talk about collagen for a moment. Even famous brands tells you collagen is vital for your skin. So don't be surprised that this is a collagen facial mask. Combine that with a few other things and you will wonder how you ever got along without it. Gelatin is a source that is filled with collagen. So it will be one of the ingredients. 

Arthritis

Incidentally. Many people who deal with joint pains and arthritis will tell you they add a spoonful of gelatin to their morning coffee. Not sure how it tastes but they say it gives effective relief. But too much can be hazardous for health. So in limited quantities it is excellent for arthritis. So consider the gelatin desserts as part of your lifestyle. There is such a wonderful variety of ways to use it. So do enjoy. Even diabetic friendly versions. And as it is rich in collagen. This way you feed your skin from within too.

As you can do this every day or two three times a week. 

Choice is yours. 

Method

Place bottle in hot water if the gelatin mixture needs to melt again. Apply on freshly cleansed face. Leave to dry completely. Peel off the face mask once it is dry. Or rinse it off. The choice is yours. But for blackheads the best option is peeling it off. Apply your favorite moisturizer.

Flour helps for burns. Here is what you should know. And natural safe ways to help for minor burns

Did you read about the healing abilities that flour has when burns occurred in the kitchen? It is said to be safe and even healing. After revealing a miraculous healing experience from a person that experienced burns.Not leaving any evidence of that dreadful experience. No scarring. Just healed skin. Lovely isn't it. But is it true? Or safe. Can it work even? Sadly I have to tell you that it is a hoax that spread worldwide and no one knows the original source. Despite the fact that the advice seems legit. Experts say no. 

I too received this message. But after doing some research here is what you should know. It is not wise to use flour for burns. In fact it can only make the problem worse and much more severe.I fully agree that you should know what to do with burns. So I am sharing a safe way to help with skin burns

Depending on the severity of the burns. You can treat minor burns at home. More severe burns needs medical attention. But leave the rumor about the flour for you will only cause more harm than healing the wound. The facts show that because you chose to use flour on the wound it will result in the burning sensation increasing. It will even raise the temperature where the burning occurred. Causing more severe burns. 

So what can you do for minor burns? 

Lower the temperature of the burn immediately. Use water to cool down the burn. Cool water will lower the temperature of the burn. Do not use ice or ice cold water as it will result in tissue damage. You can use a hose shower or the sink. Do this until the wound does not hurt anymore. Five ten or fifteen minutes. 

Or you can use a cloth that is cool wet and very important it must be clean. Place it on the affected area. Then very carefully clean the wound with soap and water. Do not break open the blister if there is one. As it may cause infection. Then you can apply petroleum jelly on the affected area. Or if you have Aloe Vera you can use it too. Or ointments that is specifically for burns.

Again if the burn is more severe. Seek medical advice. But do not use flour if you suffer from burns. It is not true and will only result in more severe injuries. 

Please share this so others know about it too. If you have any questions comments or suggestions feel free to comment below or contact us. I hope this article helps.
