Some people are good at art. Others are good at cooking. I’m good at hurting myself. Big injuries come like clockwork, as soon as the pain of past wounds subsides. A sprained ankle in 2007 left me with tons of scar tissue, a sprained wrist in 2013 prevented me from doing a chaturanga at yoga today, a clumsy fall on my knee showed up as an inflamed mass on an MRI, and in August I broke a bone in my foot that forced me to wear a knee-high boot. everytime As frustrating as it can be, the timing was especially…
In Broma, a small village in Kakamega County, a farmer has discovered the secret of creating an herbal remedy to cure diseases in poultry. John Waswa claims that his herbal concoction Mukekuma (Mukangara Herb Kuku Master) can treat various diseases in poultry. “I learned this from my father, and my father learned this from his father.” This knowledge is passed down in the family,” he says, preparing the ingredients at his home in Broma.

Britt Hermes once considered herself a doctor. Now, she’s an apostate. Hermes spent three years practicing naturopathy, a broad-reaching form of alternative medicine that focuses on “natural” care, including herbal remedies, acupuncture, and the discredited practice of homeopathy. But unease about a colleague’s ethics led her to look more closely at her profession — and what she found alarmed her. So for the past two years, Hermes has been waging a scathing fight against naturopathy on social media, in science blogs, and on her own website, Naturopathic Diaries, which just won a “best blog of the year” award from a scientific skepticism magazine in…

You won’t smell like roses when you sweat, but new research suggests that consuming certain foods may make your sweat smell a little less than usual. Researchers at Australia’s Macquarie University recruited 43 non-smoking men, obtained dietary information, and instructed them to take only cold showers and avoid scented products for the first 24 hours of the study. I asked for it. On the second day of the study, the men were instructed to wear new cotton T-shirts continuously and to exercise for at least an hour afterwards without showering. At the end of his second 24-hour period, the men…
“I thought, ‘Why use essences from Australia, India, Africa, etc., when I can use what we have here in Ilkley?'” It’s a place,” says Jenny, who regularly ventures out into the moors, taking essences from heather, gorse, bracken, soft rushes and berries. We steeped the plants in water to extract their essence, which we used to create Verveia, a body care range named after the Celtic-Roman goddess of Wharfedale. Now Jenny has partnered with a complementary medicine business in Ilkley, steeped in a long tradition of combining science and nature. Bailey Flower Essences and Verbeia, together known as Yorkshire Flower…
1. Watch reruns of “Seinfeld”shutter stockFor many of us, falling asleep while watching TV is as much a nightly ritual as brushing our teeth. While it may seem like the flickering lights and low drone of a sitcom are paving the way to dreamland, it’s most likely having the opposite effect. Sleep specialist W. Christopher Winter, M.D., explains that the glow from screens, which we find comforting, actually stimulates the brain and inhibits the production of melatonin, a hormone necessary for a healthy and sufficient night’s sleep. It states that Even worse, if the show you’re watching is particularly intense…

Move using arrow keysADVERTISEMENT – CONTINUE READING BELOW1Alyssa Zorna”When I started dating her, my friends didn’t really like her. They thought she was a nuisance. And this wasn’t just one or two of my friends. That was a pretty universal opinion. I think what happened was that she tried too hard around them at first and she couldn’t be her true self. Because as she got used to it and spent more time around them, she started liking them. Most of them are cool with her now. But yeah, I’ve never told her I didn’t like her in the past,…
