Traditional medicine, fevers were the most common condition and also a main cause of death, herbal remedies have been largely geared towards treating fevers for centuries. Herbal management of fever has been shown to be very effective specifically because it aims towards helping the body get through its fever. The herbalist sees fever as an opportunity to strengthen and improve the body's defenses.

Medical experts concede that though normal body temperature is graded at 98.6 F, this is a standard average. Some people's body temperature is normally higher, while others is normally lower. A fever is defined as a body temperature above 100.5 degrees F. Body temperature is controlled by the hypothalamus part of the brain; this is the body's thermostat. It has been suggested that fevers can be useful to some extent because the increase in temperature creates an environment in which some pathogens cannot survive.

Treat a fever with echinacea, which is also has great antiviral and antioxidant. It is available in extracts, tinctures, tablets, capsules, and ointments. It is also available in combination with other herbs, vitamins and minerals. The recommended dosage for an adult is:1 to 2 grams dried root or herb, as tea 2 to 3 ml of standardized tincture extract 300 mg of powdered extract containing 4% phenolics Tincture (1:5): 1 to 3 ml (20 to 90 drops) Stabilized liquid extract: 0.75 ml (15 to 23 drops) Halve the dosage for a child. Use licorice as another herbal means of treating fever. A typical dose of whole licorice is 5 to 15 g daily. It is not recommend the use of doses this high for more than a few weeks. For long-term consumption, about 0.3 g of licorice root daily is safe for adults.

Treat a fever with thyme. This medicinal herb is also great for treating bronchitis and laryngitis. Prepare thyme tea by adding 2 teaspoons full of dried herb into a cup of boiling water, steep for 10 minutes then strain. 1-2 grams of herb should be taken several times a day until the fever breaks. A fluid extract, 1/4-3/4 teaspoon (1-4 ml) three times per day, can also be used. Another alternative is to use a tincture, 1/3-1 teaspoon (2-6 ml) three times per day.
Tips & Warnings

Skin care herbal tips :
1) Drink water : Hydrate your skin from within by drinking lots of water. Herbal tea is also great when it’s really cold. Your skin will soon have a healthy glow. So drink up and don’t let your skin go thirsty.

2) Humidifier : One good option would be to put moisture back into the air. A humidifying system can help your skin remain supple instead of cracked and dry.

3) Exfoliate : A good boy scrub and facial exfoliate can help remove dead skin cells from your body. Add this to your cleansing routine once a week. Not only will you feel fresh but your skin will be free from all that old dry cells. Now you’re ready to moisturize!

4) Oil based moisturizer : This will help protect your skin from moisture loss. Choose one that comes in an ointment form as it will contain 80% oil. Creams and lotions may tend to dry out the skin rather than keep it moisturized and soft.

5) Sunscreen : Don’t say goodbye to your sunscreen just because summer is over. Before you leave your house, apply a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 15 or more. This will protect your skin from the elements.

6) Gloves : Choose a good quality pair that does not irritate the skin. If you’re allergic to wool, wear a cotton mitten underneath. It will help keep your hands dry and warm.

7) Flaxseed oil :Although it doesn’t taste very great flaxseed oil can moisturize your body from the inside. Since it is rich in vital fatty acids it can do a lot for your overall health.

8) Oil bath : Nourish you skin by adding a few drops of these oils into your every day bath. It will do wonders for your skin.

9) No blow dry : The blow drier is not your friend in winter. Try the tousled look or the wavy style this winter. Hot air dries out your scalp and can irritate your skin as well.

10) Don’t lick : your lips we mean. If you do, you’ll only chap your lips even more. Keep a lip balm in your purse and apply it when you’re tempted!

Some tips for meditation:
1. Prepare your body for meditation
Your physical condition has a tremendous influence on your mind. This is true for your day to day activity, but even more so when it comes to meditation. You can prepare your body for meditation by eating the right food, and by coming to meditation with an empty stomach. Eating the right food, means food which strengthens the body but doesn’t have any adverse affect on the mind. If you consume products that make the mind dull or over-stimulated then it will be much harder to meditate. And whatever your diet is, when you sit down to meditate, it should be on an empty stomach. That is why one of the best times to meditate is in the morning, before you have had your breakfast. Another good time is in the evening, before the evening meal.

2. Prepare Your Mind for Meditation
Just as your body must be prepared, so must your mind. Before you start meditation you must convince yourself, that this period of meditation is your time for personal growth, and that it is important, as important as anything else in your life. When you close your eyes to meditate, you should not jump up to answer the phone, or get ready to leave your meditation due to some slight disturbance. If you convince yourself of the importance of meditation, then your example will also convince others around you and they won’t disturb you during meditation. So, remember your periods of meditation are one of the most important parts of your daily routine, and treat them as such.

3. Sing Before Meditation
The Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore once said, “God respects me when I work, but He loves me when I sing.” That explains the place of song and music in all the great spiritual traditions. Before you begin meditation you can sing spiritual songs, whose meaning elevates your mind. It doesn’t matter if you have “good” voice or a “bad” voice, sing from the heart, and your mind will go to a point that will be the ideal starting point for your meditation.

4. Sit in a Proper Position
Remember when you were in school and the teacher looked around and saw someone slumping in his or her seat, and she said “sit up straight!” She had a good point; when the back is straight the mind is alert. Sit in a position that will keep the back straight. Sit with cross legs in a simple position, or a half-lotus or a full lotus. In addition to making the mind more alert, these positions help you to rest the various motor organs, and provide a peaceful physical base for your meditation.
In the beginning these positions may seem difficult or uncomfortable, but if you can get used to them, they will help you to deepen your meditation.5. Follow the Meditation Instructions Exactly
Remember carefully what your meditation instructor taught you and do your best to carry it out, exactly according to the instructions. Don’t experiment and make up your own method. The various systems of meditation are based on thousands of years of experience, so you don’t have to try to figure out what to do. Take advantage of the age-old knowledge of the past, and you will make rapid strides towards a bright future. If you have forgotten any part of your meditation method, go and see your instructor and get a review of your lesson.

6. Be Regular in Your Meditation Practice
This is one of the key factors to success. Meditation works, if you work. If you only do meditation once a month or on whim, when you feel like it, then it will be impossible to be successful and realize the benefits of meditation: mental clarity, inner peace, love for others and spiritual awareness. Make meditation a part of your daily routine. Just as surely as the sun comes up each day, do your meditation without fail. Fix a time for it in the morning and evening and do it on a regular basis If you get into the habit of doing your practice regularly, then you have taken one of the single most important steps towards success in meditation, and indeed, in your life.

7. Be Patient
“Rome wasn’t built in a day,” and similarly you cannot make miraculous changes in your personality or in your spiritual life in just one sitting of meditation. Don’t be discouraged if you feel that nothing is happening. Meditation is a subtle art, the changes come slowly but surely. Keep on practicing and your meditation is sure to deepen and you will indeed be successful

Tips of baby's teeth care:
Start cleaning your child's mouth even before her teeth come in. Wipe the gums off after each feeding with a warm, wet washcloth or a dampened piece of gauze wrapped around your finger.

Baby’s first teeth preserve the spacing for the permanent ones and help baby chew and talk. If they're not cared for properly the can decay, leading to a gum infection called gingivitis, which can affect the spacing of permanent teeth.

The first signs of cavities in baby teeth are discoloration and minor pitting. Putting baby to bed with a bottle of milk (or juice) is notorious for causing cavities. Don't leave your infant with a bottle for long periods of time, especially if you notice he's no longer feeding and is just using the bottle for comfort.

Most infant foods easily wash off baby's teeth with just a drink of water after meals. But it's good to introduce a toothbrush as soon as possible, so baby can get used to having it in his mouth. You probably won't need to use the brush to actually clean baby's teeth until he's eating only table foods, at around 18 months. However, you'll want to gently clean your child's teeth with a toothbrush or thimblelike cleaner and some bicarbonate of soda if your toddler has eaten sticky, sugary foods.

Begin using a pea-size amount of nonfluoride toothpaste once baby is about age 2. Wait until at least age 3, when your child is old enough not to swallow the toothpaste, before introducing the fluoride kind.

Even though your baby isn't using a fluoride toothpaste, he should get enough fluoride -- important for preventing tooth decay -- from drinking tap water. Most communal water supplies have it added just for this beneficial purpose. Ask your doctor about fluoride supplements baby can take once he's 6 months old if your tap water is not fluoridated or your child doesn't drink any tap water.

The American Dental Association recommends that baby get his first dental exam at age 1, but most pediatricians agree that the first visit can wait until age 3, as long as you practice good home care.

If you take good care of this first set of pearly whites, you can establish good dental habits for years to come.

Tips for your teeth care.
All of the many dental care products on the market are useless if they are not used the correct way. That is why it is important to know how to properly care for your teeth.
You should select toothpaste that caters to the needs of your teeth. For instance, if you have some tooth discoloration, you may want to select whitening toothpaste. If you have bad breath, you may want to select toothpaste that claims to freshen breath as it cleans. If you have sensitive teeth that respond to hot and cold temperatures or sweet and sour foods, you may want to select toothpaste that is specifically made for sensitive teeth.
Toothpaste is used to enhance the dental care experience by providing a tasty paste that goes on teeth and chemicals that can prevent plaque and cavities. Most experts recommend that the most effective toothpastes have fluoride in them. However, many people have begun to use natural toothpastes in order to avoid any negative effects from the long-term use of the chemicals found in toothpaste.
As far as toothbrushes go, most experts recommend that consumers use a toothbrush with soft bristles. Soft bristles stimulate the gums. On the other hand, medium or hard bristles may damage the gum line over time.
In order to keep a toothbrush clean and free of bacteria, you may want to purchase a toothbrush sterilizer. A toothbrush sterilizer can get rid of up to 99% of germs that may linger on toothbrush bristles after use.
Since people often get colds or the flu, toothbrush bristles can be susceptible to bacteria and germs. A toothbrush sterilizer may make you feel safer around your toothbrush. Most toothbrushes are put away wet, and the moist environment provides a healthy breeding ground for all kinds of unhealthy things. Some toothbrush sterilizers use the same cleaning technology that hospitals use. Using a UV lamp, the toothbrush sterilizer claims to get rid of harmful germs that attach themselves to the toothbrush bristles.

With the correct combination of toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss, you are on you way to causing your pearly whites to last a lifetime. Be sure to brush twice a day with a back and forth motion. Do not forget to brush the gums and the back teeth. You should brush your teeth for a minimum of two minutes every time you brush.

When flossing, remember to take your time and move the floss underneath and in between each tooth. After you have finished flossing all of the teeth in your mouth, floss all of your teeth one more time to make sure you got every piece of food out. If you use the above methods and choose your products wisely, proper dental care will be the easiest part of your day.

Some tips for teeth whitening:
Do not take sugary foods in any form. Chocolates are also not good. If you do consume such foods, never forget to wash your mouth thoroughly with strong gargles so as not to leave any sweet residue in the mouth. Do not take excess tea and coffee. These beverages contain strong alkaloids which can stain the teeth. Smoking also makes the teeth lose the white coloration of the teeth. Paan is also disastrous to the whiteness of the teeth. Include pungent, bitter and astringent foods in your daily diet. These tastes have an astringent effect on the teeth that helps to maintain them clean. They also take care of the excess buildup of plaque on the teeth, which makes them lose their pearly white color. Brush your teeth after every meal, or at least in the morning and before going to bed. While brushing your teeth, take care to sweep out all the embedded food particles. Excess consumption of antibiotics is also harmful for teeth and gives a stain.Eat guava, apple, sprouts, carrot, sugarcane, and cucumber fruits to prevent yellowing of teeth. Drink lots of water as this makes your skin hydrated and removes plaques from your teeth. Include green and fibrous vegetables in your diet to keep your teeth white and bacteria free.

Menthol

Menthol is an organic compound naturally occurring in mint plants. It is also synthetically manufactured. Menthol is widely used in a number of products and features certain therapeutic qualities. It was first isolated from peppermint oil in 1771 in the West, but it may have been in use in Japan for much longer.
It has a variety of uses and is found in many manufactured products as a perfume, flavoring and even moisturizer. However, menthol also has many medicinal properties and can soothe pain, relieve cold symptoms, aid in digestion and promote oral health. Most of menthol uses are related to its stimulation of the skin's cold receptors. This property makes menthol produce a cooling effect when inhaled or applied to the skin. It has local anesthetic and counter-irritant qualities and is sometimes used for short-term relief of sore throat and mouth irritation. This ingredient is often used in products used for relief of muscle aches, sprains, and similar conditions. The therapeutic effects of menthol include germicidal and tonic effects, but it is the local anesthetic action that is most often used, as well as the fact that it reduces itching and tenderness. Use menthol to soothe sore throats and suppress coughs. There are many commercially available brands of inhalers and cough drops that contain anywhere from 3g to 10g of menthol. Use menthol to maintain oral health and combat gum disease. Menthol is often found in commercial mouth washes. Peppermint oil can be rubbed on swollen gums, mouth ulcers and cavities to soothe discomfort and kill bacteria. Use menthol to treat muscle pain and skin irritation. Menthol has analgesic properties and is often found in mentholated topical creams that can sooth muscle pain. Peppermint oil can also be rubbed directly on the skin to soothe irritation caused by hives, poison oak, poison ivy, or razor burn. Use menthol to aid in digestion and treat bloating, gas, diarrhea or symptoms associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

How to make Vinegar
You can make vinegar from anything that contains sugar or a starch. Fruit, fruit juice, fruit peels, even carrot peelings, or grains. Do not use commercial juices as the pasteurization process and additives interfere with the bacteria needed to make the vinegar.

Items :
1. A glass jar, crock,
2. A piece of cheesecloth big enough to go over the container
3. A way to secure the cheesecloth to the container.
4. Peelings from clean, organic fruits or vegetables.
5. Distilled water. Chemicals in tap water will interfere with the process
6. A warm, dark place to store the vinegar while it is "working"

How to Make Vinegar:

Sterilize the container by filling it with boiling water and letting it stand for 5 minutes. Pour the water out and add the peelings. Cover the peels with distilled water and cover with the cloth. Secure it carefully so that insects and dirt can't get in there.
The cloth allows the natural bacteria and wild yeast in the air to colonize in the vinegar, which in turn causes it to ferment. Stir once a day to make sure that the ferment is mixing with the rest of the liquid. After a few weeks you will start noticing a vinegary odor. Allow the vinegar to continue to ferment until you have the intensity that you want.
To ensure success, especially for your first time, before it is fermented, you can add a half a cup of organic unfiltered vinegar from the health-food store, or use a vinegar starter. After you have done that once, just reserve a cup or so of your own homemade vinegar to add to the next batch.
At this point you can strain through clean cheesecloth and bottle. Store in a cool, dark place. This homemade vinegar can be used as any other vinegar. Each ingredient you use will cause it to have a different flavor. For example we all know what apple cider vinegar tastes like, but peach vinegar has a much different taste, fruitier and more mellow. Experiment with different combinations and ingredients to see which you like the best.

Some things to try in vinegar are:raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, pears, apples, unsprayed rose petals, hot peppers, onion, dill, garlic, oregano, cilantro, peppercorns, citrus peel, ginger root, pineapple etc.

Normal hair is neither overly dry nor overly oily. Dry hair is often brittle with split ends. Oily hair looks greasy. A flaky, itchy scalp indicates a dandruff problem. Some herbal shampoos contain ingredients to address hair loss, while others accommodate black, curly, coarse, gray and/or blond hair.

After assessing your hair care needs, research appropriate herbs. For starters, normal hair benefits from horsetail, red clover, chamomile and marigold. Rosemary leaves, peppermint leaves and lemongrass treat oily hair. Choose rosemary to strengthen hair, sage to treat oily curls, indigo root to keep hair dark and comfrey leaves to heal stressed scalps with curly hair. Red clover, crushed orange flowers, chamomile flowers and marigold enliven dry locks. Gray hair tends to respond to nettle, which slows the graying process and keeps hair healthy with vitamin A and C. For hair loss, consider sage, nettle, basil and tea tree leaves. Crushed lavender flowers and rosemary may enhance hair growth. Treat dandruff with comfrey leaves, birch and/or white willow barks, peppermint and lemongrass.

Pour boiling water over the herbs to release the natural properties and scents. Use the back of a spoon to squeeze the last of the herbal properties into your container.

Herbal Teas :

Herbal teas - or infusions, as they're properly called if they don't contain any actual tea - are tasty, but often expensive. Depending on where you live you may be able to collect your own tea ingredients. Herbal teas also make great gifts!

These teas are meant for culinary consumption, not as a treatment for any medical condition. Nonetheless, pregnant women and those with serious chronic conditions should consult with their doctors before using herbal teas, whether store-bought or homemade.

How to Make Herbal Teas :
Collect the leaves and flowers from a clean area, preferably a forest, not nearby large roads. After a rain is a good time, but washing the leaves is still recommended. Pick young undamaged leaves/flowers, preferably before the plants have begun to flower.
Only ever use leaves from plants you can identify for certain. Be careful, as e.g. nettles often grow together with other plants that look almost identical.

Some of the best herbal infusions come from leaves of berries: blueberry, raspberry and strawberry. Blackcurrant is great too, though not so commonly found in the wild. Lingonberry leaves can also be used.
Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) leaves make for very tasty tea. Guava leaves may use to make herbal tea. We can use young guava leaves. Another common weed that makes good tea is the stinging nettle - just remember to wear gloves when picking the leaves.
Both leaves and flowers of the meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) can be used. It may be one of the most delicious herbal teas. Meadowsweet does contain quite a bit of salicylic acid, so should not be used by those with salicylate sensitivty or a history of ulcers.

Preparation :
The leaves need not be dried - they can be infused as they are. However, with the milder herbs drying may be easier, as otherwise the mug has to be stuffed half full of the leaves, leaving little room for the water.
Whether dried or fresh, herbal teas need a longer steeping time than normal teas, usually 5-7 minutes. Most of them are not bitter, so sweetener may not be needed. Many homemade herbal make great as iced tea, as well.

Raspberry and blackcurrant teas taste great as they are, but generally mixing at least half a dozen different herbs result in the best teas. You can also add dried herbs to black, green or white tea - why not even rooibos, honeybush or yerbamate. Mint also goes well with wild herbs.
Herbs can be dried with a dehydrator or in room temperature, spread out in a single layer or hung from the ceiling. Make sure they are completely dry before storing to avoid mold. They should preferably stored in glass jars in the dark, but ziplock bags work too.
Some herbs like raspberry leaves do not dry well, unless they are cured first. They can, however, be frozen.
