Do you know why they are acting like this? Probably because they had a couple of shots of Ouzo, also known as Arak, depends if you ask a Greek or a Middle Eastern. You see, both of these distilled alcoholic drinks have one thing in common – Anise.

But anise can do more than just make people drunk. In ancient Chinese as well as traditional Indian system of medicine, anise has assumed a very popular stature. Anise seeds are rich in volatile oil, flavonoids and other important nutrients. Anise acts as a disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic, expectorant and antiviral. Anise seeds stimulate lactation, and are considered to be a mild diuretic. Anise is also a mild antiparasitic and its leaves can be used to treat digestive problems, relieve toothache. Anise can be used to relieve menstrual cramps.

What can you do with anise? Science has proven that the essential oils in the anise seeds do have expectorant properties. A tea can relief cough and congestion. Externally, Anise tea can be wrapped in a warm cloth and used as a compress for eye pain. Try dropping a few seeds in a glass of warm milk before bed to prevent insomnia.

Flowers in a Bottle - The Natural Lavender Perfume

Posted by Ajax Union Blogging Monday, August 17, 2009 1 comments

Did you know that perfume making began in ancient Egypt, more than 4000 years ago? Did you know that perfumes where once crafted from herbs, spices and flowers?

But we are not in Egypt anymore and today, many perfumes contain synthesized odors and aromatics that are not obtained from natural sources. Wouldn’t it be nice to put on a natural scent for a change and smell real flowers and herbs?

I just love lavender? How can't I? LAVENDER is the Queen of herbs. Its got this gorgeous aroma with a slight timber shade and because of this wonderful scent, I hide dried lavender all around the house. With this lavender perfume I can enjoy the music of a mountain breeze with the scents of glorious lavender, tasty nutmeg, soft bergamot and amazing freshness of green tea.

My husband though... he'll never wear lavender smell. So I got him the SHIPR cologne while I was traveling abroad.


You see, the Shipr is a natural men’s perfume that is very popular in many countries. Shipr has always been fashionable and classic (like my husband). Its mild fresh scents always make him feel stylish and up to date with the manly flavors of magnetic bergamot, sensual patchouli and precious santal.

Now you don't have to travel around the world in order to find natural perfumes. Just visit www.ATEnutritionals.com and learn about natural remedies and cosmetics you never knew before.

But Echnacea has much more uses than just in comforting tea. You see, echinacea is an incredible immunity booster. Native Americans used echinacea as their main medicinal source - for every illness, whether it was cold or cancer. Echinacea entered into formal medicine world around the late 1800s and it continues to be a popular herb in Europe and around the world.

In winter, echinacea is used mainly for preventing and treating cold. The herb gives the white blood cells and immune system cells that extra boost they need to fight off colds and flu viruses.

But echinacea is also considered by herbal experts to be a blood purifier and an aid in fighting infections. And due to the herb’s high bio-active effect, it is an excellent support for men's health. The use of Echinacea makes you more resistant to herpes, vesicular somatitis viruses and several researchers shown that the herb produces an anti-inflammatory effect and has therapeutic value in urology, gynecology, internal medicine, and dermatology.
