The incredible benefits of natural remedies in Chinese traditional medicine, such as acupuncture and acupressure, have been incorporated in Western medicine as they have come to witness health improvement.

Although acupuncture has received somewhat more acclaim, many of the same results can be achieved without needles. Chinese medicine has located “acupressure points” that are associated with channels in your body.  These channels, known as meridians, are the same points of energy used in acupuncture.

The theory is that pressing on these exact points improves blood flow, which raises the amount of oxygen delivered that in turn promotes healing.

In the following video you will watch a tutorial using acupressure massage in what is known as the San Yin Jiao (SP6), known to relieve stress and promote healthy sleep.

Additionally, acupressure at this point is known to help with: Abdominal Distention; Digestion; Menstrual Disorders and Pain; Urinary Dysfunction and Lower Limb Problems.  Cleansing and cleaning the kidney and spleen is also attributed stimulation of this point.

San Yin Jiao should not be stimulated during pregnancy, as it can bring on labor.  However it can help in pain alleviation during labor, and has been used for women struggling with infertility.  Watch the footage below so that you can find the exact point and how to perform the acupressure.

Repeating this mode of massage should be repeated for 5 minutes on each leg, to relieve insomnia and stress!

Who doesn’t want to taste the rainbow in cake form? If you do, this awesome color changing cake video will make your day. The icing on the cake is exactly what makes it appear so magical. The contrasting colors look like they melt all across the top and sides of the tasty frosted treat in a series of neat waves.

The psychedelic effects were achieved by combining a system of clever decorative wave techniques to the icing, with the bright colors airbrushed on afterwards. Spraying on the different colored food dyes at certain angles, so that they only cover one side of the peaks and ridges, makes them appear to effortlessly change color as the cake is spun around.

The result is a seriously cool cake which can be perceived a number of different ways, all depending on where you stand!

The rainbow hued sheet of baked deliciousness was uploaded by YouTuber CharlotteSometimes who shared a short clip that shows her spinning the cake around so that you can really see how it transforms depending on the angle it’s viewed from.

In addition, she also made available an easy to follow tutorial on how you can re-create the visually stunning cake at home in your own kitchen. While it appears tricky and super hard to do, it’s really not.

The biggest hurdle to replicating the masterpiece is that it requires the right tools, like a cake decorating airbrush and an icing comb. Other than that, it seems like a really fun, interesting, and challenging baking project that anyone can take on.

This is the perfect cake to whip up for a birthday party, special occasion, or for anyone who holds a lot of love for neat, colorful, sweet things. Make sure to check it out below.

This Woman Places Vodka On A Cotton Swab Then Rubs It On Her Face. The Reason? I Had No Idea!

image via – youtube.com

Vodka is the king of all hard alcohol spirits. It’s by far the number one best selling, and most consumed, hard alcohol beverage in the world. People love the spirit because it mixes well in cocktails and is widely available at a number of different price points.

A bottle of cheap vodka can be had for much less than $10, whereas some ultra premium brands and are extremely expensive and run into the hundreds or thousands of dollars. The clear liquid is not only versatile in all of the ways that it can be mixed and consumed, it can be further utilized in a variety of ways that don’t require any drinking at all.

This comes down to the fact that at its most basic form vodka is mainly just water and ethanol, which is produced by fermentation and then it’s distilled. The distillation process serves to remove any impurities or dilutions that may be present. Afterwards, what you end up with is alcohol in the vodka that’s pure and ideal for doing a number of things.

Below are some vodka hacks that can make your life easier. One alternative vodka use is for cleaning things around the house. Apply a splash of it to a soft cloth and then rub it on eye or sun glasses to give them a streak-free, clean finish.

All you have to do is gently rub the lenses until the dirt, smudges, and grease are gone and you’re done. Vodka is also perfect for cleaning shaving razors and preventing them from rusting. Simply pour some vodka in a cup and soak the razor blade in it, this will also disinfect the blades.

An age old, yet not widely known, secret for keeping cut flowers looking fresh for longer is to mix in a dash of the spirit with water in the vase. Flower bouquets will appear healthy for much longer, so long as you keep changing the water and vodka every few days. Also, to keep your skin and face looking fresh, try using some vodka as an astringent.

Apply it with a cotton ball onto your face to help clean up any acne or zits and to reduce the appearance of pores. Another health and beauty use for vodka is that it can make dull hair appear shinier. Add a few drops of vodka in with your shampoo and then wash and rinse as usual.

When your hair dries you should notice that it looks healthier and shinier. Finally, vodka foot soaks can kill any bacteria on stinky feet and leave them smelling neutral. The alcohol in the spirit is strong enough to kill the bacteria, which are causing the smell, and if you don’t have time to soak your feet you can also rub them down with vodka to clean them quickly.

The above uses are just a few of the many alternative ways that vodka can be utilized around the house and in beauty routines. If you have a bottle collecting dust, or the next time you happen to have one laying around unused, try using it in a non-traditional manner. Or, fix yourself a cocktail, relax, and cheers!

Apparently This Is The Reason Why You Should Be Placing Garlic Under Your Tongue Every Morning!

image via – shutterstock.com

If you want to ward off evil spirits and vampires, hang a clove of garlic around your neck or on the door of your house. Ancient wisdom and old wives tales say that by doing so it helps keep such dark forces at bay. While that may or may not be the case, garlic is highly regarded as a well known powerhouse of a food that can help keep us healthy as the pungent bulbs provide our bodies with numerous health benefits.

If you eat garlic first thing in the morning, before breakfast and on an empty stomach, you can help strengthen and heal yourself. The following are some of the many health benefits that your body may naturally derive from it. Firstly, it is thought to be an anti-cancer food and it’s recognized by the National Cancer Institute as potentially having anticancer properties, although more studies are needed to determine how and why.

Its anti-cancer link may be due to the fact that it helps relieve oxidative stress. This means its natural antioxidant properties aid our bodies in removing the damage causing free radicals, and thus provides protection against them.

Garlic also reduces both blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels. Studies have shown it lowers the “bad” type of cholesterol that puts people at increased risk for heart attacks. Which leads us the fact that it helps prevent atherosclerosis, the narrowing and hardening of arteries that decreases blood flow and leads to blood clots and heart attacks.

In a similar ‘vein’ garlic promotes overall circulatory health because it acts as a natural blood thinner, making it easier for our hearts to pump blood, and reduces the risk of clots. Furthermore, garlic helps stabilize blood sugar. Studies show it increases the amount of insulin available in people with diabetes and thus helps regulate the amount of glucose in the blood.

Other associated benefits are that it improves impotence, prevents yeast infections, helps our bodies absorb minerals, cleans and reduces fatty build up in the liver, acts as a natural antibiotic, and protects against osteoarthritis. Oh yeah, and garlic is excellent at boosting your immune system because it’s packed with nutrients like fiber, Vitamins C and B6, potassium, and calcium.

If you ever have a cold skip the meds and instead pop some garlic since it has been proven to help reduce the severity of symptoms associated with the flu and common cold. To gain these health benefits, try placing a small clove of garlic in your mouth for 30 minutes every morning.

You don’t need to chew or swallow it since your body, and saliva, will do all the work. By doing this, the nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants in the garlic are taken up by your body and absorbed into the bloodstream. After 30 minutes has passed, spit out the garlic and brush your teeth, floss, and rinse.

Also, if you are sensitive to garlic odors, drinking milk helps to combat any potential remaining smells or tastes in your mouth. There you have it, some of the many ways that garlic can benefit your body, health and mind. Many people find that eating it raw is nearly impossible to stomach, since it’s so potent, and that cooking it makes it much more palatable and brings out the best flavors it has to offer.

Below is a recipe for oven roasted garlic. Now you have no excuse to not eat more of this super-food:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, take a bulb of garlic and remove the papery outer skin, then cut off the top with a knife. Take a piece of tin foil, lay it flat, place an equal size piece of parchment paper on top of the foil, and place the garlic on the parchment. Drizzle bulbs with olive oil and wrap them up tightly in the foil.

Place them on a pan in the oven and roast for 1 hour. Remove, unwrap, and allow to cool. Gently squeeze the garlic bulbs to remove the cloves and serve or use them right away. You may also place them in a covered storage container and keep them for a few days in the refrigerator.

He Places A Sock Filled With Salt On A Pan Heats It Then Puts It On His Ear. THIS Is The Reason Why!

image via – youtube.com

Ear infections can wreak havoc on our health and wellness. They often end up creating terrible and debilitating pain that for some people is chronic and lasts days without end. Children in particular are prone to developing them and it’s heartbreaking having to see your child suffer through the throbbing aches and pains.

Instead of enduring an earache or visiting the doctor, try this age old self-healing trick. It’s called “the magic salt sock” and all you needs is a clean, plain, all white, cotton sock and about 1½ cups of coarse sea salt. Pour the sea salt into the sock before tying it up and closing it off with a knot.

It’s vital that you use these exact two “ingredients” since no alternative versions of them will be nearly as effective. If you fail to use a plain cotton sock that is completely all white, and instead go with one that has even just a colored line on it, you’ll likely end up melting or even burning it.

There is something in the coloring which makes them highly flammable, so be aware and use caution. The sea salt also matters because of the larger sized, more coarse granules it comes in and its ability to retain heat. Regular old table salt won’t work and will just seep out of the sock, so don’t substitute it in place of the sea salt!

The next step is to warm up a skillet over medium-low heat before placing the salt sock in the pan. Allow it to heat up for about 4-6 minutes and every minute or so flip it over and shake it up so that it heats evenly all the way through. You’ll know the sock is done when it’s very warm to the touch, but not so hot that it might burn you.

Finally, all you have left to do is place the heated sock over your aching ear, making sure that it also rests on the area behind your jaw. Sit back and relax as the salt works to alleviate the aches and pains, while simultaneously helping to draw out any toxins in the ear. It’s that simple!

This is one of the best ways to naturally and effectively decrease any discomfort or inflammation in the ear that’s causing you pain. In addition to its natural healing properties, warm sea salt is also antiseptic and can draw out any moisture that may be in the ear.

Furthermore, the magical salt sock can be reused many times safely and effectively, but it will eventually discolor and you should replace it when it becomes worn, dirty, or old. Putting a cup or two of sea salt in a sock, warming it up on the stove, and placing it over your ear may be just the thing your body needs to feel better.

It’s cheap, all natural, and can be done in the comfort of your own home. Many people have found soothing comfort and relief with this simple remedy and if you ever have an ear ache or pains, give it a try and see if it works. Pass this information on to your friends and family, they may find it extremely useful and beneficial as well!
