All of us spend a lot of time n front of the mirror while fixing the hair. This is due to the fact that the look of our hair can make a huge difference in the complete image of us.

However, a proper care for the hair will make it shiny, healthy, and voluminous. Castor oil is the most beneficial oil for the hair, as it is high in Omega-9 fatty oils which support the health and growth of the hair.

Due to its natural thickness, castor oil needs to be dissolved in some almond or coconut oil. Therefore, mix the oils and apply their mixture on the scalp, or on the eyebrows and eyelashes, from the roots to the tips of hairs.

This treatment should be done before going to bed. Leave the mixture to read more

Many people have a small round scar on their left arm and it’s often different in size and shape in different people. But, where did this scar come from? Well, people who have been vaccinated for small pox are those who have a scar like this. Small pox was regarded as a serious issue before 1970s and this vaccine was mandatory.

Doctors used the Vaccinia virus to trigger an immune response that was meant to protect people from the Variola virus, the one that causes smallpox.

Doctors used a bifurcated needle dipped in Vaccinia solution. Then, each individual’s arm was poked several times. As the needle broke the skin, an amount on the vaccine was unloaded. This is why blisters formed at the vaccination area, and a scar followed after them.

A small swelling appeared, right after the application of the vaccine, that stayed there for 6-8 hours. The swelling would then disappear and the site would look normal. A swelling that looks like a mosquito bite appeared one again on the same spot after 6-8 weeks. This is when it started to grow and form a nodule. The nodule would break open and discharge fluid, forming a blister.

The entire process would take 2-5 weeks and sometimes the process read more

Mineral deficiencies are more common than vitamin deficiencies, statistics shows that one in four adults deals with lack of vitamin B12.

In this article we will cover the symptoms and causes of vitamin B12 deficiency, plus you will get a few easy tips on how to regulate that.

Vitamin B12

This vitamin is known as the “energy” vitamin. Something you need to give you an energy boost late in the afternoon. Some like it for its ability to bring some live in cardio workouts.

Vitamin B12 is also considered as a weight loss miracle “drug,” and it is super popular at medical weight loss clinics. It became more than clear that people are crazy for this vitamin, so clinics and health spas offer discounted vitamin B12 injections.

These are offered on “daily deal” websites with the hope that you’d get a bunch of these right away.

But, vitamin B12 does not offer “real” energy on its own. But, if you are diagnosed with megaloblastic anemia (it makes you feel all tired and weak), a sudden boost in your B12 intake will sure make you feel like you have got the power (and all the energy in the world).

This happens because this vitamin has an important role in the formation of red blood cells. read more
