Keeping a clean and healthy skin requires time, persistence and effort. Dermatologists often recommend expensive products that require a longer period of time to start working.

If you have problems with blackheads and your pores close often, we present a few completely natural and tested recipes for removing blackheads from the face.

Corn flour and egg white

You will notice the results after a few treatments. Be persistent!

Lemon juice and rose water

Lemon juice in combination with rose water is yet another great tool for fighting blackheads. Make a mixture, using equal parts of both ingredients and apply it on your face. Let the resulting mixture act for about 30 minutes, then wash. Repeat this procedure two weeks straight.

Lemon juice and cinnamon

A mixture made of lemon juice and cinnamon can also help you get rid of blackheads. You will notice results, provided by this remedy, after two weeks of regularly using it as a peeling for your face.

Want whiter teeth? All you need is activated carbon!

Even though it may seem messy, many people have successfully and easily whitened their teeth using this ingredient.

A dark gemstone of natural medicine, charcoal is one of the most powerful natural substances that helps in treating many diseases, from dysentery to post-radiation effects. It is obtained by processing coal in a steam chamber. The steam opens the coal, increasing its surface area making it an excellent filter. Activated charcoal, or activated carbon, attracts and absorbs, and will help remove stains from your teeth.

How to whiten your teeth using active carbon.

The procedure is very simple: Crush the drugstore-bought active carbon in a bowl and mix with equal parts water. Find your desired consistency. Apply to your toothbrush and brush your teeth for 3 to 4 minutes, as if you were using regular toothpaste. You will notice the activated carbon mixture is gritty. After brushing, rinse your entire mouth with water.

You will notice minimal results even after the first brushing. This technique is excellent for removing tannins, a compound that stains teeth, found in wine and coffee.

Using activated carbon, you will have shiny white teeth within a week.

High blood pressure is disease of the elderly people. However, it is more often that younger people (from 16 to 34 years of age) are facing this problem.

Recent studies have shown this health problem can cause premature aging and brain damage.

The solution for this conventional health problem is constantly taking drugs to control blood pressure, drugs such as angiotensin receptor blocker.



Besides conventional remedies, there are alternatives that can successfully help you lower high blood pressure.

Now we will present six natural remedies that will help you maintain your blood pressure under control.

Hot pepper

Hot pepper is one of the fastest means to reduce blood pressure. It dilates blood vessels and helps in the free flow of blood and thus lowers blood pressure.

Add one to two teaspoons of ground hot pepper in hot water in combination with honey and Aloe Vera. Mix and you will get a great home remedy for hypertension. If the drink is too strong and you cannot consume it, then you can use hot pepper as an addition to meals.

Raw almonds

Eat a handful of raw almonds on a daily basis. This amount of these healthy nuts will help you to maintain the level of your blood pressure. Almonds are rich in unsaturated fats that help to reduce levels of bad cholesterol, relieve inflammation of the arteries and reduce high blood pressure.

Cocoa

Cocoa is rich in flavonoids and other anti-inflammatory nutrients. The flavonoids in cocoa act as adaptogens and help the body to better deal with stress, which is the most common cause of hypertension. Cocoa stimulates the process of reducing stress hormones that play an important role in regulating blood pressure. Also, flavonoids protect against heart disease that are often associated with high blood pressure.

Coconut juice

Coconut juice is rich in potassium, electrolytes and other beneficial nutrients. It has been proven to help reduce blood pressure for most people who consume it. Recent research has shown that 71% of the respondents significantly reduced systolic pressure by drinking coconut juice about, while about 29% of them had reduced diastolic pressure.

Turmeric

Turmeric is a natural blood diluent and has the ability to reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is one of the many causes for high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Fortunately, turmeric helps to improve cardiovascular function and maintains healthy blood flow through blood vessels.

Garlic

Garlic is one of the healthiest natural remedies in the world. It has been proven to reduce bad cholesterol level and high blood pressure.

Many people avoid eating garlic due to its strong and unpleasant smell. However, you can use it as a supplement in meals in a form of onion-based tablets or capsules.
