My brother had been extremely enthusiastic about getting a fish tank for his room. He’d gotten all the things he needed – the fish feed, the nets, the extra bowl, the cleaning equipment, the filter, etc, etc. Initially, he’d promised to clean the tank on a regular basis, and he did so the first couple of months. But slowly, the burden of cleaning the tank fell onto the shoulders of the poor little filter. It did what it could do best; but after a while the tank got covered in slime and the health of those poor fishes began to deteriorate. This may well be the way we view our liver today.

There was a time when people shunned the ways of the past and looked to the future. Herbs and herbal concoctions became a thing of the past; and they were overshadowed by the presence of pills and capsules. But as time passed, people realized that perhaps these modern forms of medicine did have their own set of flaws that they come with. Side effects began to show and allergies cropped up.

Diabetes care conducted a study in the February of 2002; and its results claimed that diabetics, over others, were more likely to turn to complementary medicines such as herbs. The important bit is remembering that herbs and other supplements do come with their own  [...]

There is a saying in Brazil, about the catuaba herb and its capacities.

The menstrual cycle is known by different names in different nationalities. One of the most common renditions of this is the term 'AF' which is used for 'Aunt Flo (rence)' which could also stand for 'Aunt Flow'. The use of this term is often made to discreetly announce the arrival of a menstrual period. Some may call it 'chums' (which means friends) or the 'curse'. Regardless of what its called, the menstrual cycle is an integral part of a woman's life cycle. Another ugly accompaniment of the menstrual period, other than all that blood of course, is the presence of the menstrual cramp. Like some evil cousin, she drops in unannounced. Along with her, she brings days and nights of squeamishness and doesn't let you sit in peace. Most women resort to some form of drugs to take care of their  [...]
