Thin Hair or Hair Loss? Try GLA...

If you've ruled out other causes of hair loss, such as stress, overuse of hair-care products, and certain medications and diseases such as hypothyroidism, consider supplementing with evening primrose oil. It's a good source of gamma-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that's needed for hair growth and is hard to get from your diet. Experts recommend taking 500 milligrams twice a day; expect to wait eight weeks to see results. We have Buy One, Gent One Free on American Health Evening Primrose

Homeopathic creams, gels, and ointments that contain arnica, a flower similar to the daisy, have long been used to relieve swelling and bruising. Rub into the affected area, but stop using if you develop skin irritation. Arnica has been proven to help for the temporary relief of minor musle or joint ache and pain; strains, sprains, bruises, backache or over-exertion.

Invest in a Neti Pot

Plagued with sinus problems and/or allergies? Rinse your nasal passages twice a day to flush out pollen and other irritants. Put saline solution (a 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 cup warm water) in a plastic squirt bottle or a nasal irrigator, a spouted container that allows you to pour water directly into your nose. The solution should fill your nasal cavity and spill out the other nostril. Gently blow your nose afterward. Many customers report clear sinuses for the first time in their lives after using the Neti Pot... great for children too since it is all natural!
