Grave Matters follows families who found in “green” burial a more natural, more economic, and ultimately more meaningful alternative to the tired and toxic send-off offered at the local funeral parlor.
Grave Matters
Obesity and Weight Loss
Americans have a reputation for being overweight, and by overweight I mean obese. You may or may not know this, but obesity can affect everything from fertility to heart health.
Having a lot of extra fat on your body causes a huge number of health problems. In fact, it’s more than reasonable to say that being fat causes most of the health problems we know about today, and many others we’re not even aware of yet.
Obesity is an epidemic that grows for both children and adults each and every day. And that epidemic keeps leading us further and further down the road to serious health problems.
Herbs for Urinary Tract Infections
The three main types of herbs used for urinary tract infections are urinary antiseptics, diuretics, and and demulcents. These include Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), garlic, birch (Betula spp.), Alfalfa, Echinacea, couch grass (Agropyron repens), goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea), horsetail, Java tea (Orthosiphon stamineus), lovage (Levisticum officinale), spiny restharrow (Ononis spinosa), juniper and nettle. All these products appear to work by increasing the volume of urine, causing extra filtration and hence flushing the bacteria out of the urinary system. The majority of these herbs or nutrients are drank as a tea or taken as a supplement pill.
