Ayurvedic Triphala, the Rejuvenator

by Richard A Masla

Triphala has recently received great popularity around the world, but in India is has been renowned for thousands of years. Triphala is believed by most people to be a simple Ayurvedic remedy for constipation. In fact, Triphala is a Rasayana or a rejuvenator. Rasayanas affect the body in a general way tonifying and supporting good health, they promote vitality and longevity.

Balances Elimination

Cleanses Toxins

Supports Digestion and Overall Well-Being

The regular use of Triphala will support the development of proper digestion and regulates elimination without causing any laxative dependency. It gently supports detoxification of the tissues of the body. Triphala is an effective blood purifier that stimulates bile secretion as it detoxifies the liver. It also increases the red blood cells and hemoglobin.

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian herbal medicinal science supports the benefits of triphala. The main benefits are for acidity, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, digestive disturbances and liver problems. Triphala is also beneficial for people who are suffering from high cholesterol and high blood pressure problems. It may also be helpful for treatment of atherosclerosis and anemic conditions.

Triphala is a combination of the dried fruits of Terminalia chebula, Terminalia belerica, and Emblica officinalis in equal proportions. These are popularly known in India as haritaki, bibutaki and amalaki. Amalaki contains the highest natural known source of vitamin C; twenty times more than an orange, this makes it a very powerful antioxidant. Triphala is the most commonly used Ayurvedic formula. Its synergistic combination of herbs is added to many classic Ayurvedic formulas to increase their actions.

In a study titled ‘Potential of traditional Ayurvedic formulation, Triphala, as a novel anticancer drug’ published in the January 2006 issue of Cancer Letters, scientists at the Radiation Biology and Health Sciences Division, Bhadha Atomic Research Center in Mumbai found that Triphala had the ability to induce cytotoxicity (cell death) in tumor cells but spared the normal cells.

I have been using triphala regularly for many years personally and in my practice at the Ayurveda Health Retreat. There are no long term studies that make any ill affects known. The dosage is to 1 teaspoon with water at bed time or 2-3 500 mg tablets. You may take it safely for 6 months, then give yourself a few weeks off and resume again. It is contraindicated during pregnancy and is not to be taken along with psyllium husks or with strong laxative herbs like senna leaf.

Ayurveda and Living in Harmony with Nature

by Richard A Masla

‘Ayur’ means life and ‘Veda’ means knowledge. Ayurveda is the science of life. If there was a life handbook given at birth guiding us to a healthy and happy life, included would be several chapters on the science of Ayurveda. This ancient healing system has its historical base in the pre-Aryan civilization of India dating back over 5000 years.

Ayurveda is the science of living in harmony with the forces of nature. Its holistic approach to healthcare is unique in that it enables us to treat the individual as a part of the whole. Understanding one’s personal nature (prakrti) and the impact the environment has on one’s life offers us clarity of the most appropriate lifestyle applications that would serve us best. These may include nutrition and dietary changes, simple exercises such as yoga, meditation, deep breathing (called pranayama) and addition of simple herbal medicines. These simple changes will create a greater harmonic balance for the mind, body and spirit.

In Ayurveda, food may be used to support healing. These principles coincide with the basic Hippocratic principle that food serves as the most valuable medicine for supporting and maintaining health. Likewise, poor nutrition and unhealthy lifestyles create a foundation for disease to begin.

One of the major causes of illness according to the Ayurveda is called jnana-aparadha or offense against knowledge. If you get heartburn every time you eat foods prepared with tomatoes and continue to eat them, you will suffer the consequences. This is called jnana-aparadha. If your body is telling you that a particular food is not good for you; listen. The Surgeon General of the United States said that 60% of diseases are diet related. Ayurveda says that almost all disease can be related to improper digestion of foods and the wrong combinations of them.

Here is some simple advice from the Ayurveda in relation to diet:

* Eat only when you are hungry.

* Do not have cold drinks or drink a lot of fluids with your meals. This puts out the fire of digestion.

* Have your largest meal of the day at midday and your last meal at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.

* Make each meal a preparation of love and be grateful for all of your food. Know that it is a gift from nature and God for you. (We may take this for granted, not realizing that every year on this planet 20 million die of malnutrition).

By following some very simple principles from the Ayurveda, your health can improve and you can live a long and prosperous life. Living a full and healthy life does not need to be a puzzle, we may just need a little guidance from an ancient medical science that has been tested through time.

Cuban cigars are the best cigars around

by Trevor Wallace

Their is something really special about a Havana cigar or cigars from Cuba. The construction, the smell, the aromas that are released upon lighting, it’s truly a miracle to say the least. For people who don’t know what a Cuban cigar is, let me tell you why the Havana cigar is so special in so may ways. Instead of telling you everything about it, I’m going to share just a few of the main things

Their is so much to it that it should be considered an official piece of art. Cuban cigars have a history that goes back since the beginning of time (At least that is what the cigar gods want you to know). They say that before the earth was created, the island of Cuba was created and the seeds of the mighty “Cohiba” leaves were planted in.

Although their are thousands of other cigars and brands out there, Cuban cigars are known for one thing in particular. The actual tobacco within the Cuban cigars is truly something that just can’t be grown anywhere else in the world. The reason being is the temperature that Cuba gets its literally perfect to grow the best Cuban tobacco. No wonder Cuban cigars have been so successful for so long.

It’s amazing that Cuban cigars come in so many different flavors. Most people think maybe one or two but each brand such as the Cohiba, Montecristo, Romeo Y Julieta etc brings their very own specific flavors of Cuban tobacco to the mix. Cohiba seems to be the most preferred and most popular brand of all time. However it’s all relevant to people’s taste. If you like it, than that is the best Cuban cigar in the world.

Don’t get Cuban cigars if you don’t believe in getting the absolute best this world has to offer. Cuban cigars are only smoked by the elite and professionals who are the movers and shakers of this world. These are people who have a vision and a dream to change their lives and others and they go after it. Are you one of them? Well if you are a Cuban cigar smoker, than you most certainly are. When you are smoking Cuban cigars, you are smoking the best.

Scary Kids Halloween Costumes to Go Trick-or-Treating In

by Susan West

For children, Halloween is a magical time because they get to take what may be their favorite pastime of fantasy and turn it into an all-day event. What comes before the Halloween night is just as much fun as trick-or-treating itself. For children who would like to be scary creatures, this is one time when they can be encouraged to do so. You might not know that research has shown that children who pretend to be the scariest of Halloween creatures are far less likely to be afraid of imaginary monsters they encounter. So find that perfect Halloween costume for your child and start the night off with a magical tone.

Boys and girls running the streets for two hours decked out in their scariest and grossest of kids Halloween costumes is what makes Halloween exciting and fun. Allowing children to be children is what makes Halloween especially rewarding for parents. Nothing scares me more than a child dressed up as an adult the other 364 days of the year. Kid’s Halloween costumes give kids a chance to break free from their stress and pretend to be anyone they wish.

The festive holiday, though scrutinized for its misinterpreted meanings, gives kids a chance to celebrate the firm and strong notion that things in this world are not always as they appear. By strapping your child into a classic vampire costume of the 1920s you are helping them to make peace with the monsters they think might be under their bed and simultaneously permitting them to stand out as an exceptional vampire.

These days, popular movies like Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean are spawning a new industry derived of creating costumes from those movies. You can even accessorize creatively by getting a sibling to come along as another of the characters (or, in the case of Pirates of the Caribbean, even as a parrot). Need to have a mate walk the plank? Mom or dad, go ahead and toil along behind Junior, the captain, on a rope as the prisoner just for the evening. Then your roles can go back to the ordinary and everyday parent-child setup right after the festivities are over.

It’s healthy to create. Take advantage of the holiday and teach your children how to create. We all have an inherent sense, but creativity takes training and practice. Decide as a family on a theme and then everyone can create their own Halloween costume.

Whatever your budget, you should be able to find or create something suitable for your child. You don’t need to break your bank to make your son or daughter a Halloween costume. An old white shirt of yours tied at the waist with a jaunty red sash, accessorized with some black leggings and some inexpensive tall boots, plus some skillfully applied makeup with an eye patch, makes a perfect pirate costume. Of course, you can also find ready-made costumes in every dollar range online, should you not want to make something yourself.

Using a lot of creativity to bring forth your child’s most ghoulish desire might take a little research. Childs Halloween costumes no longer come from the discount store. Searching out excessively creative Kids Halloween costumes online makes a perfect family project. However, you should start this project at least a month before the big day. Children tend to change their mind a lot, but having the perfect kids Halloween costume ready for the big night makes a parent a superhero, even after they take off their costume.

What would you rather smoke

by June Beezy

After all, what makes us smoke? It is somewhat of a mystery that blowing smoke out of your mouth is somewhat appealing. Seem like everyone has their own reason whether legit or not on why they think smoking is alright. Regardless of the smoking health factors, people still continue do it on a regular basis. Sometimes it’s while they are drinking, sometimes it’s just a social thing - bottom line, people are smoking more and more.

Smoking is the worst thing for your health, more and more people die everyday with smoking than any other thing in history. Millions of people and now it is estimated that billions of people will be victim to smoking or second hand smoking. After all the stats, the addiction is so deadly that the anit-smoking business is worth billions of dollars on it’s own.

It boggles my mind when people compare cigarette smoking to cigar smoking. It is two completely different things. First is you never inhale cigar smoke. If you try to, trust me, you will feel that for a few weeks. Cigar smoking is meant to be enjoyed by your senses. It is not designed to make you an addict. Cigarettes on the other hand are deadly. They are almost insulting to tobacco. Yes smoking tobacco in any form isn’t health friendly, but just like drinking, it can be enjoyed in moderation.

The most natural way of smoking tobacco or enjoying tobacco is through cuban cigar smoking. In a cuban cigar, they use the whole tobacco leaf, tightly roll it up and than it’s set for you to enjoy. The fines tobacco comes from Cuba and so if you smoking a Cuban cigar, you are smoking the best. Cigarettes just contain craps of tobacco mixed with all kinds of stuff designed to keep you addicted to the substance. If you want to enjoy tobacco let go of the cigarettes and get into Cuban cigar smoking.

So when it comes to Cuban cigars vs cigarettes. Steer miles away from cigarettes as they will not only make you an addict but turn your body into a breeding ground for incurable diseases. Cuban cigars are a true pleasure to enjoy and just like the most things, if you do it once in a while, you’ll be just fine. Stay away from cigarettes and if you must, Cuban cigars are definitely the thing.

Part One Of A Blogging Masterclass

by Rob Pike

Setting Up Your Blog

Blogging is a lucrative source of profit and blogs are easy to set up and maintain. Imagine a life where you are paid to write on stuff that interests you, whenever you want, wherever you are. The mere flexibility of blogging makes it easy for you to just kick back, relax and go on a vacation whenever you feel like it.

In this article, we are going to look into the profitability of a blog and set up a blog of our own at no cost! Interested? Read on!

First, we need to obtain a blog. There are several options - host a blog on your own domain or get a free blog. For starters, let’s talk about the free blogs. You can obtain a free blog at www.blogger.com or the newer (and better!) www.wordpress.com. If you are a techie, you must have heard of Wordpress, a free blog engine that is robust and infinitely expandable.

Blogger.com is actually owned by Google, so it will be detected on Google’s radar faster and you will be indexed faster. Wordpress.com, however, is a relatively new option so I have no comparison on the speed of getting indexed by search engines. However, Wordpress is better in the sense that it has more advanced features such as Trackbacks and Categories. You can also manage your sidebar links more efficiently (more about this later).

Get a free blog at either Blogger.com or Wordpress.com. Then, familiarize yourself by posting your first post on your blog and tinkering around with the options and templates.

Here are a few common “blog-related” words to help you out:

1) Permalink - Permalink stands for permanent link, which is a URL (uniform resource locator) that leads to an individual post that you make in your blog.

2) Trackback - When you post about someone else’s blog post elsewhere, your post will show up in their “trackback” section. This feature, however, is not available with a Blogger.com account.

3) Pinging - Blogging seems to be paired with pinging almost every time either one is mentioned nowadays. Pinging is actually the action where a certain aggregator is notified whenever your blog is updated, so that the aggregator may show the newest post of your blog on their website. This is a useful way to gaining traffic, which we shall discuss later.

Blog content

Now we’re going to discuss the type of content that is suitable for your blog in order to make it profitable. First off, I want you to understand that there is no fixed scope that your blog should have, which means you can write about whatever you’re interested in.

However, the difference between a profitable blog and a non-profitable blog is the way the blog is written. Just imagine, would you prefer to read your university professor’s lecture notes or the latest novel by your favourite author?

You may prefer to read the novel because it appeals more to your interest, or because it is not as mind-numbing as the lecture notes by your professor. However, the most important point is people like to read “light” stuff most of the time. You see, when people log on to your blog, they are not only looking for information - they are also looking for information they can obtain easily, and better still in a relaxed manner.

So, to attract more visitors as well as to keep your current visitors coming back for more, it is very important to add a human touch to your blog posts. This can be done by simply imagining you’re talking about a certain topic with your personal friend. An extra bonus for your readers would be a great sense of humour, so try to add funny comments in your articles where they are suitable.

Another important key point is to avoid addressing your reader as a plural unit. What I really mean is you should not write as if you’re preparing a speech. Instead, you should write as if you’re having a conversation to a single person because this will make your visitor think of you more as a personal friend rather than a person of higher authority.

Besides that, it is also very useful to establish your own personality through your words. Human beings are very curious creatures, so naturally your visitors would want to know as much about you as the information you’re offering them.

Having a distinctive personality in your blog would make a world’s difference between your blog about gadgets and all the other blogs about gadgets out there. This is a lot like creating your own brand name, where people immediately remember your blog’s name when they need to find out information about gadgets, just like how people immediately think of McDonald’s for fastfood or Nike for sportswear.

So, the lesson for now is to simply write as an equal friend to your visitors, write to them as if you’re talking to a single person and establish your own personality on your blog.

Blog Content Brainstorming

Face the fact - your blog needs to be regularly updated to maintain its readership! Hence, you must always find fresh topics to write about, and we’re going to discuss how to do just that in this article.

We have discussed how to write attractively, so now we are going to discuss what we are going to write on. The very first option that I think a blogger should write on is a topic that he or she feels passionate and interested in. You’ve chosen to make blogging your career because you want to escape a mundane job - forcing yourself to write about something that you’re not interested in is as torturous as as your mundane job!

The other reason I ask you to write about something you’re passionate about is because your feelings and emotion shows through your writings! If you feel indifferent to a certain subject but still write about it just for the sake of it, your readers will notice it. Remember the advice about writing with a personality? Forcing yourself to write will not establish a welcoming style at all.

Once you have chosen your main theme, start posting to your blog about it and make it a habit to post at least once every day, even if it’s only a comment on the newspaper article you read today. Think of yourself as a gigantic train. It takes a lot of effort to get you moving. First, you might just budge an inch, and later trudge slowly on until you finally reach your full speed. Then, it’ll take a lot of effort to stop you instead!

However, no matter how well you know your topic, your brain is bound to get exhausted over some time, so here are methods to brainstorm for content for your blog.

1) The very best way to brainstorm is to see what other bloggers have to say about stuff happening in your field of discussion. And the very best way to find related blogs is to use http://blogsearch.google.com/ or www.technorati.com. There are other decent search tools too, you just have to look around. From other blogs, you can gather more knowledge on your subject and you can also comment on what others have to say on your own blog!

2) Once you’ve established contacts with other bloggers in your field, you’ll have quite an unexhaustible “conversation” ongoing, so you’ll not need to actively search for content to write about. However, if you’re still stuck, search for news articles related to your niche in the local newspaper or online through sites like http://news.google.com and http://news.yahoo.com.

3) You can also have conversations with people with the same interest as you in the particular niche you choose, so you will eventually build up a bank of questions and answers and interesting discussions to write about in your blog. To do this, join forums related to your niche, but don’t join every forum there is out there. Stick with one or two with the biggest number of members or the one which is most focused on your niche. This will also come in handy much later in gaining traffic and generating profits.

Remember to keep up your momentum of posting at least once per day (or more if you have a lot of content to write about) so that the major search engines will know that your blog has fresh content everyday. This will attract the search engines to spider your page on a more frequent basis, hence gaining you extra traffic.

Don’t worry about generating traffic and search engines, because we’re going to talk about that in more detail later. For now, remember to keep a consistent effort everyday and build up momentum like that of a locomotive!

Start Building Your Link Popularity Today

by Hayden Linoturn

Link popularity is important to your website receiving the maximum amount of traffic. This is because the search engines, like Google, Yahoo and MSN look for other websites linking to your website to help determine how popular your website is. The more outside websites that link to your website, the higher your link popularity is and therefore the more traffic you will receive from the search engines.

Building link popularity is easy enough, and there are both for fee and for free ways to do so. As a beginner, you want to start with the free methods. This is important so that you know how things work. A foundation of understanding is important so you can later train outsourcers.

I love to use blogs to help build my backlinks and link popularity. There are literally millions of blogs out there, so you’re sure to find something on your topic. What’s more, you can get started immediately.

So first of all, go to Google and click the ‘Blogs’ link at the top. You’re going to put in a keyword that is about the topic of your site. After that, Google will give you a list of all blogs that have articles about the topic, and you’ll go to them.

Ninety-nine percent of blogs allow visitors like yourself to leave comments. First skim through the blog post and make sure it’s about your topic. After that, hit the button for “Comments” and respond to the article.

You’ll fill out the required fields within the commenting area. It usually asks for your email addy, name (you can just put your first name if you want) and, if you have one, a website address. This is the most important field, so make sure you fill it out completely.

Next you leave your comment in the larger text box. You’ll not want to “spam” the site by leaving what is basically a promotional message for your own site. If you do that, the blog owner will probably mark it as “Spam” and it will disappear.

What’s important is to ensure that the comment you leave is actually interesting and contributes to the conversation already going on at the blog. Saying something nice about what the blog author wrote is always a good idea, people love compliments. You can even take part in discussion that’s already going on with other people that have left comments.

After your well thought out and interesting comment is written, post it. There are some blogs where your comment will show up right away. Others will make the blog owner approve the comment first, and you may get a notice that your post is in the moderation queue.

Head on back over to Google blog search and visit each one that you found on your keyword. You need to leave comments on as many as you can find that are actually about your website niche. This is because the more places your leave your link, the more backlinks you get.

This is simple enough for even the most beginning internet marketer to do. What’s more, if you do it on a fairly repetitive schedule, your links will build slowly over time. All the while increasing your rank.
