Have you ever experienced the Niacin Flush? Let me tell you all about it! The first time I took Niacin 500 mg I had the strangest experience! I have come to find out that this experience is very common among niacin users.  First I felt little pin pricks all over the top of my head, next my ears were on fire!!! My face turned bright red including my ears and neck.  The redness slowly crept down my chest all the way to my arms and legs.  I felt heat all over my back and face.  I can honestly say I did not like this at all and didn't plan on taking niacin ever again.  However, after much thought, I decided to give it another try.  I took niacin 500 mg again, first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach and had the same experience however this time I was more accepting of the reaction.  When I thought about what was happening, all my capillaries opening up and releasing toxins, I started to enjo...

Feng Shui Tips For The Home

Open blinds or windows and let in natural light and keep this area clean and free of dust and keep plants watered and healthy. Tip #2 LOVE  to find your love/relationship area in your home stand at your front door facin...

What is Aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a person's mind, mood, cognitive function or health. Aromatherapy originated in Europe in the early 1900s and has been widely used since this time. With many people concerned about their health and looking for alternatives to western medicine, aromatherapy is becoming a popular form of healing. Essential oils are extracted from a plant's flowers, leaves, bark, or roots from a complex extraction process. The oils are mixed with carrier oils and then applied to the skin by massage or rubbed on the bottom of the feet. Essential oils can also be inhaled directly or through a diffuser or mixed with pure alcohol (I use vodka) and sprayed in a room. Essential oils are now being used in many skincare products, perfumes an...
