I think water therapy is the cheapest of all natural remedies as water is free.  Except maybe if am assigned in an area where there is no free water but just the commercialized bottled water.  But now, since am home, am abundant with free water so i can do the following water treatment for my acne.

According to the author of Healing Wonder of Herbs, the following treatments can help minimize or control the growth of acne.

#1  Wash face with warm water using mild soap, 3 times a day.

#2  Steam face for 15 minuts after washing, once a day.

# 3 Avoid touching face with fingers.  Don’t prick pimples with fingers.

#4  Drink plenty of fuit juices and fresh water.

# 5 Get enough sleep at least 7-8 hours a day.

# 6 Eat less of starchy foods, sweets, chocolates and nuts.  Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.

After reading that i felt so bad because i have a hard time following # 3, # 5, and partly # 6.

I was sluggish at work yesterday because i felt sleepy.  I do not have to wonder why am sleepy because for the past days i just have an average of 5 hrs sleep at night.  I am lucky when i have 7 hrs.  When i was still at work at 5:30 pm i found myself yawning.  I was sleepy and yeah also tired.  So when i got home, cleaned myself and hit the bed.  I was already drowsing to sleep at 7 pm.  I planned for the clock to wake me up at 10:30 to do some online stuff but no one woke me up.  So i ended up waking up at 6 this morning.  6 am in a normal morning?  That’s good because usually i have the clock wake me up at 6:15 or 6:30 so that i won’t miss the devotional at 7:30.

Now i really feel refreshed and better.  I don’t feel any body pains.  So therefore, having enough sleep is important to a healthy well-being.

A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one’s husband,but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.

I was blog hopping because of EC dropping this week-end that i come across this Monday Musings meme.  I went through some of the blogs that participated and i saw that they post meaninful and inspirational quotes.  I decided to join so here’s my first post.

Monday Musings is hosted by Barbara @ Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers Come by and join the group inspiring others with inspiring quotes.

There are many cancers that we know in this world and Mesothelioma Cancer is one of the worst.  Mesothelioma cancer is caused by abestos and affects the serious membranes that surround many vital organs of our body. If you have this illness or anyone of your friends or in the family has this serious illness then check out this Mesothelioma site.   The site can be a source of help.  So far at my end, i still haven’t seen anyone with Mesothelioma cancer case.   I have only seen but breast cancer, lung cancer, bone cancer patient and i think they all would feel the same especially at the worst stage of their illness.

I come across the term while blog hopping though the term is not alien to me but the deep meaning of it i still have to find it.   So while uploading pics, i tried to google yeast infection and this is what i gathered.

What is yeast infection?
A yeast infection is  also known as candidiasis, and it’s the name for a common infection caused by a yeast called candida albicans (a type of fungus).  It usually occur in warm, moist parts of our body such as the mouth and moist skin.  Yeast infections usually occur in warm, moist parts of the body, such as the mouth and moist areas of skin and most likely the vagina. When they cause an infection in the vagina, it is known as vulvovaginal candidiasis.  In other words, normally yeast as fungus lives in the vagina in small numbers.  But when pH is altered they grow up into big big numbers.

What are the symptoms?
- itching and irritation in the vagina
- redness, swelling, or itching of the vulva (the folds of skin outside the vagina)
- a thick, white discharge that can look like cottage cheese and is usually odorless, although it might smell like bread or yeast
- pain or burning when urinating or during sex

Is Vaginal yeast infection treatable?  Yes

Can it be prevented?  Yes and there are some simple ways to be done to prevent having an infection -

-Wear cotton, not nylon, underwear, and avoid tight-fitting pants and panty hose.
- Change out of a wet swimsuit right away.
- Avoid douches and feminine sprays, scented toilet paper, and deodorant tampons.

 What i like to note is that — yeast infection can happen to any girl and is not sex related.  Although it can be spread to your partner.  Guys can also have the infection but is not called vagina yeast infection but is called – balanitis.
