Everyone’s talking about tea these days, what with the surge in health consciousness. And maybe most of you especially health conscious knows that every type of tea could help relieve ailments. I am a tea lover too and my favourite are lemon grass and house tea or rice tea.
Here some varieties of tea and its relieving effect:

Japanese Lavender Tea- Alleviates headache, has a relaxing and calming effect, improves blood circulation, and helps promote sound sleep.


Lemon Grass- This fresh smelling tea regulates digestion, protects the skin from premature aging, prevents anemia, and cures headache.


German Lemon Incense- Improves and invigorates blood circulation. It can also aid your digestion.

Winter Plum Blossom- Helps prevent vertigo and relieves stomach-ache.

Marigold- Helps cure ulcers and gastrointestinal problems. It also smoothens the skin

Sweet Chrysanthemum
Tea
- Helps cure sore throat, and it can prevent diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and hormonal imbalance.

Smooth Passage (Cleansing Tea) – Purifies the blood, kidneys, liver, lungs, colon, and your deepest cells. It also helps reduce freckles and improves hormonal imbalance.


Inner Healing (Tien Qi)- Eliminates toxins in the body, improves vital energy, adds nutrition to the blood and removes excessive blood fat.

Womens discharge

Normal vaginal discharge is mainly composed of mucus secreted by glands in the cervix and vagina, explains Mary Jane Minkin, MD, co author of A Woman’s Guide to Sexual Health and clinical professor of ob-gyn at Yale University School of Medicine. “it also contains some fluid produced by the vaginal walls as well as dead cervical cells that have slaughed off naturally,” say,” Dr. Minkin.
This mixture should be whitish to clear to pale yellow, depending on where you are in your cycle. Dark yellow or green fluid is often a sign of infection. On average, a woman emits about one to two teaspoons a day. Any sudden increase may mean something’s amiss.

Goiter

Are you aware what is Goiter and how does it look like? Me I do because I have it. It’s a kind of thyroid gland disorder as what experts called it. According to them, this is due to inheritance which is likely true with my own experienced. My old folks have goiter. My Mom and my Aunt. My Aunt have it and it is big like an apple on her neck. My Mom’s goiter seemed didn’t show any malfunction anymore. I have a lot of relatives have goiter. Some have it operated especially the singles because it looked so weird. They can’t find partner with how they look lol! Thankfully mine is just as small as a piece of a corn and it’s not obvious. I took medicine before but I stopped because I don’t like the feeling of palpitation.. I can’t even sleep that easy and I am easily get tired even only I am just setting. I almost got operated but I ran away because I don’t want my neck to be slice and all. Gosh I’m so scared to be operated. God is the in-charge of me so I don’t need any medication and operation. But, my Aunt, I really want to help her remove the goiter in her neck. I know someday, sooner or later I can help her. She is 50 years old, single parent, a factory worker for so long. No clear income. Operating a knitting machine which is mostly graveyard on duty. She is so thin but she is healthy despite of that awkward thing on her neck. She always wears close neck blouses just to hide it. I pitied her and I love her that’s why I want to help her by answering the expenses for her operation. Hopefully I can make it.

This is her photos

she is covering it..:(

with my mom and my son. Mom have it but look, it’s not noticeable. Look at my Aunt; she is pretty to have that silly thing.

Please help me to help her..
