Discovering how to make your hair grow faster can be difficult, especially if you want to go the natural way. I know that when I cut all of my hair off (it was down to the middle of my back and I went up to just above my shoulders), I was devastated. I liked it for a week, but after that, I wanted my hair back. Learning how to make your hair grow faster naturally is easy, you just have to know the right methods! And I am going to give you 7 super tips on how to return to thick, luscious, long locks!

1. Castor oil

Being rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, especially omega-9 fatty acids, castor oil promotes hair growth naturally. As this oil is quite viscous, mix the castor oil with an equal amount of coconut, olive, or almond oil. Massage your scalp with it and leave it on for 30 to 45 minutes. Then shampoo your hair. You can also add essential oils, especially rosemary, peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, or thyme oil, to the castor oil and then put it in your hair.

2. Scalp massage

Massaging promotes blood flow to the scalp, which in turn stimulates the hair follicles. In addition, deep condition your hair once a week with a hot oil treatment or deep conditioning hair mask. Apply the oil (preferably warm) or conditioner to your hair. Gently rub your fingers on your scalp in a circular motion for three to five minutes. Rinse the oil or conditioner out of your hair.

3. Stress-free

Stress is one of the most important factors that contribute to hair loss. It is believed that stress can disrupt the normal hair cycle and trigger hairs to enter the telogen or fall-out phase. Thus, when striving for faster hair growth, minimize the stress in your life. To manage stress, you can use meditation, breathing exercises, or other relaxation techniques. Plus, be sure to get your beauty sleep as the growth hormone is released during sleep.

4. Vitamins and herbal supplements

In addition to eating a proper diet, you can take supplements like folic acid, biotin, kelp, fish oil, flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, saw palmetto, and others to augment hair growth. Folic acid and biotin are B-complex vitamins (vitamin B9 and B7 respectively) that aid faster growth of hair. Before taking any supplements, though, make sure you consult your doctor.

5. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera encourages hair growth and prevents hair loss. It also reduces dandruff and helps restore your hair’s natural sheen. Apply fresh aloe vera gel mixed with a little lemon juice and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Shampoo your hair. Do this once every week or two. You can also combine aloe vera gel with equal amounts of coconut milk and wheat germ oil and then apply it on your hair. Drink aloe vera juice on a regular basis.

6. Egg white

A lot of people believe that this tip concerning how to make your hair grow faster doesn't work well, but egg whites have been known for their healing properties and their ability to replenish hair and restore its softness and shine! Just crack open a few eggs, strain out the yolks, and make an egg white mask for your hair. Your hair will look ten times healthier instantly and will feel a lot stronger as well -- which, ultimately, will allow your hair to grow faster!

7. Drink water

Water helps the body to process and flush out toxins faster, which makes it a quick and easy natural method that will make your hair #grow a lot faster. If you drink about 8 cups of water a day, not only will your #body feel better, but your hair will get stronger. The stronger the hair, the faster that it grows. Drinking water also keeps your hair hydrated from the inside out. Hydrated hair is happy hair because, when dry, your #hair is much more likely to break.

Headaches are a very common problem. People of all ages get headaches from time to time. They can cause unbearable pain along with nausea and, at times, vomiting.

Common causes of headaches include stress, tension, restlessness, sinus problems, migraines, lack of sleep and dehydration.

Here are the top 7 ways to get rid of a headache fast.

1. Lavender Oil

Not only does lavender smell great — it’s also a useful home remedy for headaches and migraine pain. Lavender oil can be either inhaled or applied topically. Two to four drops for every two to three cups of boiling water are recommended when inhaling lavender-oil vapors as a headache treatment. Unlike many medicinal oils, this home remedy can also be safely applied externally without the need to dilute it. Lavender oil should not be taken orally.

2. Lemon

Lemon is a very effective and powerful ingredient to treat headache because it is refreshing and relaxing. Plus, it helps maintain the acid-alkaline balance in the body.

• Drinking warm water mixed with juice squeezed from one-half of a lemon will reduce the intensity of a headache. This particular remedy is beneficial for headaches caused by gas in the stomach.

• Another option is to apply lemon crusts, pounded into a paste, on your forehead to immediately relieve pain.

3. Butterbur

Used medicinally since the middle ages, butterbur extract can be taken daily to help reduce the number and severity of headache attacks. It is available commercially in capsules, powder, tincture, or other forms and is thought to have both antispasmodic effects and anti-inflammatory properties.

4. Peppermint Oil

Peppermint is a soothing home remedy that has been shown to benefit tension headaches. This fresh-smelling oil has vaso-constricting and vaso-dilating properties, which help control blood flow in the body. Headaches and migraine pain are often due to poor blood flow, and peppermint oil helps to open and close the vessels that promote flow. Peppermint home remedies also open up the sinuses so that more oxygen can get into the bloodstream.

5. Ginger

Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that can help ease headache pain. It also helps relax the blood vessels in the head, reduces swelling in the brain and activates natural opiates in the brain that help lessen the pain.

6. Ice Pack

Placing a cold compress like an ice pack on your forehead will numb the pain, help shrink the blood vessels and improve circulation to the area. This particular remedy works well for headaches due to stress or sinus problems.

7. Magnesium 

Take a multivitamin containing magnesium. The mineral helps to calm nerves, which tend to get overexcited during a migraine. Some studies have found that migraine sufferers tend to be deficient in magnesium. You can also increase your magnesium by eating foods like broccoli, beans, soy milk, nuts, spinach, etc

Pimples. Acne. Zits. Bumps. Spots. Whatever you want to call them, they are annoying, and chances are, they will happen at the most inopportune time. You might think that once you pass puberty, you’re in the clear as far as blemishes are concerned, but that is not always the case.

7 Natural remedies to get rid of acne and pimples

1. Ice

Ice can be used to quickly reduce the redness, swelling and inflammation of pimples. It helps in improving blood circulation to the affected area, and in tightening the skin pores and removing dirt and oil accumulated on the skin. You can use ice cubes or crushed ice, whichever is convenient.

2. Lemon juice

The natural astringent and antibacterial properties of lemon juice are great for clearing up skin. To get the best results, just apply the lemon juice directly to the skin and leave it for up to an hour.

3. Toothpaste

The toothpaste that you use every morning to clean your teeth also can be used to treat pimples quickly. It is most effective when used following the ice remedy. You must use white toothpaste; avoid using gel toothpaste.

4. Egg white

The protein rich egg whites may save your day in case you apply it before going to bed. Take an egg and separate the yolk by moving it back and forth between the two halves of the shell. The whites will be collected in the bowl and the yolk will stay back in the shell half. Apply the egg whites on the pimples using your fingers. Leave it to dry and stay overnight. Wash your face with warm water in the morning to get pimples-free face.

5. Steam

Steaming is magnificent for your skin and will become more effective, in case you have pimples. Steaming will help your skin breathe by opening your skin pores. This helps dispose of oils, dirt and bacteria trapped in the pores that can cause infection or inflammation.

6. Apple cider vinegar

Sort of along the same lines as lemon juice, apple cider vinegar has the same antibacterial properties, as well as antifungal properties as well. Apple cider vinegar is very powerful though, so you might want to dilute it when you use it, at least at first. Just apply a small amount to your skin, but make sure that you choose pure, undiluted vinegar for best results.

7. Garlic

Isn’t garlic great for everything? Not only does garlic have a ton of antibacterial properties when you eat it, it also has great effects when applied directly to the skin. To use, just thinly slice a clove of garlic. Rub the garlic clove and the juice of the garlic onto your skin, paying close attention to problem areas, and leave on for up to 30 minutes.

Maintaining a yoga practice can be a great way to reduce stress, stay in shape and calm the mind. But when it comes to stress relief, not all yoga poses are created equal: Some positions are particularly effective for promoting relaxation, tension relief and restfulness.

"Yoga helps us slow down for a moment and tune into the breath. Simply the focus on one thing -- which is the very definition of meditation -- allows us to decompress," Dr. Terri Kennedy, registered yoga teacher and president of Power Living Enterprises, Inc. told The Huffington Post. "The actual asanas [poses] release tension in different ways, and help certain parts of the body."

With this being said, I've decided today to share with amazing and easy yoga posed to fight stress. Enjoy! 

1. Easy pose

Easy Pose has some great benefits in addition to promoting groundedness and inner calm, such as: opens your hips, lengthens your spine, amplifies the state of serenity, tranquility, and eliminates anxiety, relieves physical and mental exhaustion and tiredness. Focus on your breath in this pose and sit still with a straight spine for at least 60 seconds.

2. Downward facing dog

This is one of the most practiced poses in any yoga sequence. The effects of downward dog help stretch, strengthen and neutralize the spine while rejuvenating the mind with its slight inversion. The opposite flow of energy is great for respiration problems common with stress and anxiety.

3. Child's pose

Even if you prefer a supported child’s pose, the therapeutic benefits are endless. Calm your brain, relax the hips, and gently stretch into the ankle joints. Many find this pose in the middle of a practice simply to come back into their own body.

4. Bridge pose

Not to be confused with the full wheel, the bridge pose provides gentle stretching of the back and legs while alleviating stress and tension. The pose can reduce anxiety, fatigue, backaches, headaches and insomnia, and is even thought to be therapeutic for high blood pressure. Eva Norlyk Smith, Ph.D., yoga teacher and Managing Editor at YogaUOnline, recommends a supported bridge pose with a block underneath the sacrum as a gentler and more de-stressing way to enjoy the stretch.

5. Corpse pose

Savasana is a pose of total relaxation, making it one of the most challenging asanas. Shavasana gives the nervous system a chance to integrate that in what can be thought of as a brief pause before it is forced once again to deal with all the usual stresses of daily life. Lie on your back with your eyes closed, arms by your sides and palms facing up. Allow your ankles to fall outward. Allow your body to melt deeper into the mat with each breath. Stay in this pose for a minimum of 5 minutes. 

6. Legs up the wall

This supported inversion drains the body of toxins and releases bad energy. Simply changing the path of blood flow creates new energy. Easy inversions like legs up the wall reduce ailments like headaches, insomnia and anxiety, and is even believed to help with mild depression.

Eye twitching, eyelid tics and spasms are pretty common. Usually only the bottom lid of one eye is involved, but the top eyelid also can twitch. Most eye twitches come and go, although they can last for weeks or even months.

I once received an e-mail from a patient's wife, who told me her left lower eyelid had been twitching for several weeks, and it was driving her crazy. Could I help?

To find a solution for eye twitching, we needed to determine the underlying cause of this annoying problem. Called myokymia in doctor lingo, these rippling muscle contractions in an eyelid can be triggered by:

Stress Tiredness Eye strain Caffeine

Alcohol Dry eyes Nutritional imbalances Allergies

Almost all sudden-onset eyelid twitching is benign, meaning the condition is not serious or a sign of a medical problem.

However, this kind of eye twitching also can be hard to treat. The only option for making the twitching stop may be to figure out the cause and deal with it.

More serious forms of eyelid twitching are caused by neurological conditions such as blepharospasm or hemifacial spasm. These conditions are much less common and should be diagnosed and treated by an eye doctor.

Why Does My Eye Twitch?

Stress: While we're all under stress at times, our bodies react in different ways. Eye twitching can be one sign of stress, especially when it is related to vision problems such as eye strain (see below). Reducing the cause of the stress can help make the twitching stop.

Tiredness: A lack of sleep, whether because of stress or some other reason, can trigger eyelid spasms. Catching up on your sleep can help.

Eye strain: Vision-related stress can occur if, for instance, you need glasses or a change of glasses. Your eyes may be working too hard, triggering eyelid twitching.

Computer eye strain from overuse of computers, tablets and smartphones is also a very common cause of vision-related stress.

If your eyelid twitching is persistent and very annoying (like the problem experienced by my patient's wife), you should have an eye exam, because you may need vision correction.

If you spend a lot of time on the computer, you also should consider talking to your eye doctor about special computer eyeglasses.

Caffeine and alcohol: Many experts believe that too much caffeine and/or alcohol can trigger eye twitching. If your caffeine (coffee, tea, soda pop, etc.) and/or alcohol intake has increased, cutting back is worth a try.

Dry eyes: More than half of the older population experiences dry eyes, due to aging. Dry eyes also are very common for people who use computers, take certain medications (antihistamines, antidepressants, etc.), wear contact lenses and consume caffeine and/or alcohol. If you are tired and under stress, you also may develop dry eye.

It's best to see your eye doctor for a dry eye evaluation, because many treatments are now available.

Nutritional imbalances: Some reports indicate a lack of certain nutritional substances, such as magnesium, can trigger eyelid spasms. Although these reports lack scientific evidence, I can't rule this out as a possible cause of eye twitching.

If you suspect a nutritional deficiency may be affecting you, however, I suggest talking this over with your family doctor for expert advice rather than randomly buying over-the-counter nutritional products.

Allergies: People with eye allergies can have itching, swelling and watery eyes. When eyes are rubbed, this releases histamine into the lid tissues and the tears. This is significant, because some evidence indicates that histamine can cause eyelid twitching.

To offset this problem, some eye doctors have recommended antihistamine eye drops or tablets to help some eyelid twitches. But remember that antihistamines also can cause dry eyes. It's best to work with your eye doctor to make sure you're doing the right thing for your eyes.

Why Does My Eye Twitch?

1. Determine the severity of the twitch: Is it minor or severe? A minor eye twitch is an uncontrollable eyelid spasm that may come and go for about 2 to 3 days, then disappear on its own. A severe eye twitch lasts much longer and usually does not go away. The eyelid may contract so forcefully that the entire eye completely opens and closes, over and over again. A severe eye twitch becomes extremely annoying, interfering with daily life.
2. Relax. Try to eliminate stress in your daily life.
3. Limit caffeine.
4. Rest. Get plenty of sleep and take frequent breaks from the computer.
5. Apply warm compresses to the twitching eye and gently massage the eyelid with your fingers.
6. Try over-the-counter oral or topical (eye drop) antihistamines to slow the eyelid muscle contractions.
7. For severe eye twitching or a twitch that last longer than a few days, see your eye doctor. Treatment for severe eye twitching may include Botox injections to paralyze the eye muscles, medications to relax the muscles or surgery to remove the contributing eye muscles. 

Sciatica is leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. Although the pangs begin in nerve roots located on either side of the lower spine, they then course through the sciatic nerve, which runs the length of each leg from the buttock down to the foot. The leg agony, called radiculopathy, "is often worse than the back pain," says William A. Abdu, MD, medical director of the Spine Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Usually felt in one leg, the sensation "can be intolerable," says Birgit Ruppert, a physical therapist at the Spine Center. "Some people liken it to the nerve pain you experience if you have a toothache."

1 Massage

Massage therapy can relieve sciatica pain and also help the body heal itself, especially if the problem is caused by a muscle spasm. Plus, it helps release tension, stimulate circulation and increase the range of motion.
Massage the affected area with St. John’s wort oil 2 or 3 times a day until you get relief. St John’s wort has anti-inflammatory properties that help relieve sciatica pain and inflammation. Another option is to add 3 tablespoons of nutmeg powder to 1 cup of sesame oil. Heat the mixture. Allow it to cool and massage the affected area with it when it is comfortably warm. Do this a few times a day for a few weeks. You can also consider trigger-point massage therapy at least once daily. Pain in the lower back, buttocks and side of the thighs is often associated with trigger points in the gluteus medius and minimus muscles.

2. Acupuncture

"You can get relief as soon as the first session, though it takes about 12 sessions to see improvement," says Jingduan Yang, MD, assistant professor at the Jefferson Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University. A small study in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine found that of 30 people with sciatica, 17 got complete relief and 10 saw symptoms improve with warming acupuncture, in which the needles are heated.

3. Valerian

Valerian root works as a relaxant and relieves chronic nerve pain. It is particularly good for easing sciatica pain caused by a muscle spasm. The herb contains volatile oils that help relax your muscles and ease tension. It is popularly used as a sleeping aid as well.
Take 150 mg of valerian root supplement 3 times a day for a few weeks. Consult your doctor first. You can also drink valerian tea prepared by steeping 1 teaspoon of dried valerian root in 1 cup of hot water for 10 minutes. Drink this herbal tea several times a week for a few weeks.

4. Yoga

A study in the journal Pain reported that people with chronic back pain who practiced Iyengar yoga for 16 weeks saw pain reduced by 64% and disability by 77%. Although yoga's effects on sciatica are less clear, gentle forms may be beneficial. By strengthening muscles and improving flexibility, a yoga practice can help sciatica sufferers "move and function better so they don't fall into a posture that aggravates the sciatica," says James W. Carson, PhD, a psychologist at the Comprehensive Pain Center at Oregon Health & Science University.

5. Spinal Manipulation

Chiropractic care is an increasingly popular natural treatment for neck and back pain. Chiropractic spinal manipulation includes different techniques involving rapid, short thrusts to alleviate nerve irritability responsible for inflammation and other symptoms associated with sciatica. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that spinal manipulation benefited 60% of the study participants suffering from sciatica to the same degree as a surgical intervention could have provided.

6. Ice or heat

Because the sciatic nerve is buried deep within the buttock and leg, ice or heat on the surface of the body won't ease that inner inflammation. But the timehonored treatments can act as counterirritants—that is, "they give your body other input in the painful area, and that brings the pain down a notch," says Ruppert. Apply an ice pack or a heating pad as needed for 15 minutes.

A clean, bright and acne/blackheads free skin is the elusive goal of any woman -Man also- looking to get a prettier face. It happens that there are many methods which can allow you this, but each one with advantages and drawbacks.
As health enthusiasts, we keep looking for the most natural and effective methods to enhance our lives and the life of our beloved ones. As a matter of fact we decided to dive into the sea of oil cleansing which will help you get the skin you always wanted.
Source : http://biohealthyliving.com

People are often skeptical to try this natural solution at the beginning, since the idea of putting oil to clean the skin – which may be already oily – is a bit weird. but let me say that it works very effectively, here is why: 

WHAT IS OIL CLEANSING?

The basic concept of oil cleansing refers to using a combination of specific oils to naturally balance the skin’s oils. This will help you get a much more moisturized and clean skin, which is better than using commercial products that may harm your skin in a way or another. This notion is so simple as quoted from www.theoilcleansingmethod.com:

“The basic concept of this skin care and cleansing method is that the oil used to massage your skin will dissolve the oil that has hardened with impurities and found itself stuck in your pores. The steam will open your pores, allowing the oil to be easily removed. Should you need it, the smallest drop of the same oil formula patted over damp skin will provide the necessary lubrication to keep your skin from over-compensating in oil production” 

WHY USING OIL?

People tend to forget one important rule of chemistry, which is “like dissolves like” and this means that the used oil will help to balance oil levels on your skin by dissolving and breaking it down.
Using oil as beauty ally has been a tradition for thousands of years. Many civilizations used it for its great benefits. So don’t be afraid of using oil on your face. The natural oils will not bring you acne, blackheads or Pimples. These are the result of many different factors such as : hormones and bacteria. Your skin naturally benefits from the oil produced by your body. Therefore having an oily skin is not something unnatural. Oil is also needed to allow your largest organ to function properly.
Applying natural oils to balance the oil production of your body will not only clean your skin but will also help lubricate, moisturize, heal and protect it so that it can function properly. And that means beautiful, clear and glowing.

HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT OIL?

In general any natural oils can work fine. Yet most people prefer using Castor oil, since it has strong anti-inflammatory properties, but can also heal and cleanse, which is the main reason why natural beauty experts suggest it for the oil cleansing method. Another reason why Castor oil is very used is because it is naturally astringent so it will pull impurities effectively from your skin, which makes it perfect for oily and even dry skin.
Since Castor oil has very potent cleansing properties, using it alone may leave you with dry skin. To avoid this , we need to dilute it with another oil, which must be thinner in consistency, but not less nutrient to the skin. Olive oil is my personal choice, since I have it all the time at home. But some people prefer using Sunflower Seed or safflower oil.
If you can’t use Castor oil as a primary oil for any reason, you can use hazelnut oil. Extra-virgin coconut oil also works fine.
Here is some suggestions for making your blend (I’m choosing Castor and olive oil as an example):

• Oily Skin: Try a blend of 30% Castor Oil to 70% Sunflower Seed Oil.
• Balanced Skin: Try a blend of 20% Castor Oil to 80% Sunflower Seed Oil. 
• Dry Skin: Try a blend of 10% Castor Oil to 90% Sunflower Seed Oil. 

THE OIL CLEANSING METHOD

To explain the method, there is nothing better than a video. Here is a tutorial by Kendra Atkins showing how to cleanse your skin with oil:

So this is it! After reading the article are you still afraid of oil cleansing? if you do and you are still hesitant, we would love to learn about your concerns. 

Back acne, sometimes conveniently called bacne, is one of the most inconvenient things to suffer from. And if you have facial acne, you are more prone to have back acne too. When your back’s overactive oil glands (sebaceous glands) get clogged by excessive dead skin cells or sebum (oil), it gives rise to bacteria that cause acne on your back. 

So what gives? Why do I only get body acne in the summer? "During the summer, your body produces more oil and you sweat more, so when you combine oil and sweat, well, you get acne. Then there's sunscreen. Sunscreen is great, and it is nonnegotiable in the summer, but it can cause breakouts, especially since you're wearing more of it. You're not alone, though. I definitely see a lot more patients for body acne during the summer months."

Is it the same as the acne on my face? "The breakouts on your chest and back tend to be a little different than the acne on your face. They're technically called folliculitis, which is when the hair follicle becomes infected. However, it looks the same as facial acne and can be treated with the same products and ingredients. In some cases, it can actually be rosacea triggered by coffee or dairy, but it isn't that common on the chest and back."

Natural Ways to Get Rid of Back Acne

1. Epsom Salt also Cures Back Acne

If you find sea salt expensive or not effective for your back acne, you may try Epsom salt which is comparatively inexpensive remedy for bacne. Epsom salt is the common name of the natural mineral compound, magnesium sulfate. The anti-inflammatory magnesium can be well absorbed by skin and give relief from redness, irritation and itchy skin. It also activates enzymes to help regulate various nutrients vital for the health of skin such as zinc, potassium and vitamin D. It helps flush out toxins apart from helping in proper absorption of nutrients.

2. Oatmeal Bath for Back Acne

Oatmeal is one ingredient which is beneficial for almost all types of skin, dry or oily and even aging skin. It works for acne prone skin by soaking up the excessive sebum oil. It also gently exfoliates your skin to clean off the dirt and open the skin pores. When oil is removed and dead skin too, your skin gets rejuvenated along with a moisturizing effect. Oatmeal bath will not only eliminate back acne but will also get you rid of bacne scars! Here’s how to get soothing oatmeal bath for acne on your back.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar for Back Acne Remedy

Apple cider vinegar (ACV), as you might know, is a marvelous ingredient for your body. It may also help you get rid of bacne. ACV does it by balancing the pH of your body which naturally eliminates the acne breakouts. Because Apple cider vinegar is also an effective antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, it is counted amongst one of the best remedies for acne as a whole and not only for back acne. Nothing like when you drink 1-2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar mixed in 1 glass of water, daily. However, you can even make a toner with ACV to apply it topically on your back acne.

4. Tea Tree Oil Remedy for Back Acne

Tea tree oil, derived from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia of Australia, has anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties. Terpinen-4-ol compound in tea tree oil gives it it’s antimicrobial properties. The anti-bacteria effect of tea tree oil eliminate the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes which is responsible for the development of acne.

Most of us live with this wrong notion that tooth decay is caused by bacteria! Yes! This is a myth. Your cavities are not due to bacteria! Well, not exactly the way you think. Most of the times, cavities in your mouth are due to the deficiency of various nutrients in your body. This has been shown in various tests done on animals as well as in laboratories. Now when I say bacteria doesn’t cause tooth decay, what I mean is that stronger teeth are able to resist both acid and bacteria. Therefore, when your teeth become weak, like in the instance of nutritional deficiencies, it will have a cavity as it would not be able to fight off acid and bacteria. So, the first step towards healing cavities is to make your teeth stronger. According to one of the studies published in the British Medical Journal, cavities and tooth decay can be healed as well as reversed with diet. To heal cavities, you also need to control the acidity and bacterial invasion of your mouth, just to protect the weaker teeth.

Natural Ways to Heal Cavities

1. Remove sugar

Probably the worst culprit of them all for anyone who desires healthy, cavity-free teeth, sugar should be avoided like the plague. Not only does sugar feed oral bacteria that prevents a healthy flow of dental fluids, it is highly acidic and can literally decalcify or demineralize the structural content of teeth that create dental decay. 

This means staying away from soda, candy, and baked goods with sugar. Additionally, use raw honey and maple syrup and drink juices sparingly as too much sugar can contribute to cavity formation. Be careful of artificial sweeteners because of their health risks as well. Bottom line: Make stevia your new best friend along with raw honey in moderation!

2. Have a diet loaded with nutrients

From the above discussion, it is clear like a crystal that your cavities are due to poor nutrition and abundance of Phytic acid in your body. How to deal with the Phytic acid factor is know known to you. The next step would be to supply enough minerals and vitamins to your body to help heal cavities. 

This includes the increased intake of fat soluble vitamins. Here is a list of foods to guide you as to what constitutes a good food habit if you really want to heal your cavities naturally.

3. Do some oil pulling

Used for centuries by Ayurvedic medicine, oil pulling is a fantastic oral detoxification procedure that has gained some popularity in the U.S. the last several years. 

Simply done by swishing a tablespoon of oil in your mouth for 20 minutes, this simple process has been praised to cure everything from gingivitis to headaches to systemic diseases like diabetes! If you can’t do 20 minutes, 3-5 minutes is still good. 

I recommend using coconut oil or MCT Oil and a drop or two of clove and/or tea tree essential oils for maximal antiseptic and antifungal power.

4. Use Activated Charcoal to Heal Cavities

Activated charcoal helps your body get rid of toxins. Many people use this activated carbon to cleanse skin and for whitening teeth. You can even use it to remove toxins from your mouth to heal cavities. Activated charcoal is nothing but the regular charcoal created solely for medicinal use. 

For this, regular charcoal is heated with a gas which causes the charcoal to expand and it thus creates porous surface that traps toxins. Due to its incredibly large surface area provided by porous structure, only a little activated charcoal can absorb a large amount of toxins, atoms, and ions. 

You can easily get activated charcoal in capsule form having powdered charcoal in it. You may also buy it loosely in bulk. When you brush your teeth with activated charcoal, you not only get whiter teeth but also destroy plaque and cure gingivitis as it prevents bacterial build up. 

Because activated charcoal also promotes formation of new enamel, you get stronger teeth too. Therefore, using activated charcoal seems to be a good remedy to heal cavities.
