Why use Homeopathics?

Why use Homeopathics?

Homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. Its growth in popularity in the United States has been around 25 to 50 percent a year throughout the last decade.

This success is fueled by several factors:

• Homeopathy is extremely effective. When the correct remedy is taken, results can be rapid, complete and permanent.
• Homeopathy is completely safe. Even babies and pregnant women can use Homeopathy without the danger of side effects. Homeopathic remedies can also be taken alongside other medication without producing unwanted side effects.
• Homeopathy is natural. Homeopathic remedies are normally based on natural ingredients.
• Homeopathy works in harmony with your immune system, unlike some conventional medicines which suppress the immune system. (For example, cough medicines suppress the cough reflex, which is your body’s attempt to clear the lungs)
• Homeopathic remedies are not addictive - once relief is felt, you should stop taking them. If no relief is felt, you are probably taking the wrong homeopathic remedy.
• Homeopathy is holistic. It treats all the symptoms as one, which in practical terms means that it addresses the cause, not the symptoms. This often means that symptoms tackled with Homeopathy do not recur

Coffee is no longer a health villain

Coffee is no longer a health villain

Since there are so many bad habits to feel guilty about, it’s awfully nice when one of those vices actually turns out to be something of a virtue.  Take coffee: Over the years, it has been accused of causing everything from birth defects to breast cancer.

Now, with thousands of medical studies showing little or no adverse health effects from coffee, all the decades of nay saying are finally coming to a close.  In fact, there are a number of proven benefits to partaking in a [quality] daily cup or two of joe:

Coffee drinking may lower your risk of colon cancer by up to 25 percent because of its ability to help keep you regular.

 Two observational studies found that regular coffee intake reduced the risk of developing kidney stones.

 People with asthma who drink coffee can have up to 25 percent fewer symptoms because one of the compounds in coffee - theophylline - acts as a bronchodilator.

 Other diseases that coffee may help prevent: cirrhosis of the liver, Parkinson’s disease, skin cancer, and gallstones.

 Now, this doesn’t mean that you should measure your daily coffee consumption in gallons.  But research shows that three or four cups a day (under two cups for pregnant women) aren’t going to do any harm.  And [drinking high-grade quality like Keopu's Kona coffee] might just do some good.
