			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomato blight is a disease condition of the tomato plant that is marked by quick spreading of brownish black lesions or patches. Such lesions are caused by <em>Phytophthora infestans </em>fungi which thrive on warm wet conditions. As the fungi spread, the infected tissues die rapidly.</p>
<p><b>How is Tomato Blight Identified?</b><br />

<p><b>Home Remedies for Tomato Blight</b></p>
<p>Listed below are some of the effective home remedies for tomato blight:</p>
<ul>

This can help treating tomato blight. One might mix one tablespoon baking soda and one tablespoon dormant oil in one gallon of water. One can spray this mixture with a hand sprayer to the affected portion of infected plant</li>
<li><b>Compost Tea as a Treatment for Tomato Blight:</b> One might mix one ounce of blackstrap molasses, one ounce of apple cider vinegar and one teaspoon of powdered seaweed to a gallon of water. The antibiotic property of compost tea can help in controlling fungal growth and in treating tomato blight</li>
<li><b>Garlic Tea and Baking Soda Spray for Tomato Blight Treatment: </b>One can mix one tablespoon of baking soda in one-fourth cup of garlic tea and spray the mixture to the plant. The antifungal property of garlic tea and baking soda might help in arresting the spread of tomato blight</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blood vessels (arteries) help in carrying oxygen and nutrients from our heart to the rest of the body. Leading sedentary lifestyle or eating unhealthy foods make the inner linings of these arteries become thickened and stiff with fatty deposits. This results in inadequate supply of blood reaching our vital organs causing arteriosclerosis. The first sign of arteriosclerosis generally starts with legs numbing of legs, getting cold feet, painful leg or cramps.</p>
<p><b>Home Remedies for Arteriosclerosis:</b></p>
<p>Listed below are some of the home remedies for arteriosclerosis:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Using Lemon Peel:</b> To take as a medicine, cut the skin of lemon into fine pieces and saturate such pieces in warm water for about 12 hours. Take a teaspoon of this medicine every 3 hours or just before or after taking a meal. Lemon peel is known for being a rich source of vitamin P  (bioflavonoid) which is responsible for strengthening the whole arterial system</li>
<li><b>Using Honey:</b> One teaspoon honey with a teaspoon of lemon juice can be taken along with a glass of water. Honey is considered effective in reducing cholesterol, relieving clogging of  arteries and preventing arteriosclerosis</li>
<li><b>Using Parsley:</b> A teaspoon of dry parsley can be gently simmered for few minutes and be taken 2 or 3 times daily. Parsley contain elements that help in keeping our arteries and capillaries in healthy condition</li>
<li><b>Using Vegetable Juices:</b> In arteriosclerosis, one of the reasons why the walls of the arteries become stiff is because of slow deposition of calcium as the arteries age. Experts believe that beet juice can act like a solvent and dissolve these inorganic calcium deposits from the arteries and prevent arteriosclerosis. Also juices of carrot and spinach are considered effective for this disease condition. Carrot is rich in vitamin A that helps in dissolving cholesterol from the walls of the arteries</li>
<li><b>Eating Apples:</b> Eating apples regularly can help prevent arteriosclerosis by reducing the accumulation of fat in the arteries</li>
<li><b>Engage in Physical Activities:</b> By undergoing regular physical activities (burning fats) and leading a stress-free life one can limit the risk of arteriosclerosis to a great extent</li>
<li><b>Avoid Smoking:</b> Smoking affects the walls of the arteries by clogging it with fatty deposits. The best homeremedy for arteriosclerosis can be to quit smoking altogether</li>
<li><b>Avoid Unhealthy Foods:</b> By cutting down on foods rich in saturated fats such as cream, butter, etc and refined and hydrogenated foods, one can surely reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis</li>
<li><b>Regular Health Check Up:</b> Regular health check up can go a long way in detecting any family history of arteriosclerosis and receiving treatment in time</li>
<li><b>Reduce Alcohol Consumption:</b> Alcohol consumption can increase the risk of arteriosclerosis</li>
</ul>
<p>The risk of arteriosclerosis can be avoided to a considerable extent by following a healthy and disciplined life style. Before taking any of the home remedies, consult a doctor to avoid complication.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chiggers are the larvae of mites belonging to the family of Trombiculidae. Larvae of scrub mites or harvest mites commonly cause chigger bites. Chiggers do not suck blood like mosquitoes, but they inject digestive enzymes to feed on the skin. This results in raised bumps and itching of the skin</p>
<p>Chiggers are microscopic and red in color. They are present in areas where plants, weeds are present, in warm and moist atmosphere. They are not comfortable in dry and hot climate conditions. A chigger initially injects the digestive enzymes, which dissolves the skin. It now feeds on the liquefied tissue after which it drops off from the host to convert into the nymph stage<span style="font-weight: bold"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold">How Long do Chigger bites Last?</span><br />
Chigger bite may take 10 days or more to heal. However, the symptoms of chigger bites such as itching and swelling can be minimized by washing the area and using over-the-counter creams.</p>
<p><b>What to Use for Chigger Bites?</b><br />
Here are the following treatments you can use for chigger bites:</p>
<ul>
<li>Take a warm, soapy bath and scrub the area thoroughly</li>
<li>Apply a thick coat of little nail polish to the affected area</li>
<li>Use anti-itch creams which contain hydrocortisone or calamine on the affected area to relieve the symptoms</li>
<li>Vaseline, petroleum jelly may help to relieve the symptoms</li>
<li>If you have allergies, you can take antihistamines such as Benadryl</li>
<li>Baths with baking soda or Epsom salts may relieve the symptoms</li>
</ul>
<p>The best remedy for chigger bites is to wash the area with soap in warm water. Wear long, tight clothing, and long-boots to protect the exposed areas from chigger bites. Using insect repellants, DEET, powdered sulfur can destroy the chiggers and protect you from chigger bites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nausea is not an illness in itself. It is a symptom of several unhealthy conditions one&#8217;s body is in. Before you learn how to deal nausea, it&#8217;s better you know the causes of it. Nausea is mainly due to:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Problems with your digestive system</li>
<li>Traveling</li>
<li>Alcoholism and alcohol abuse; also drugs</li>
<li>Sleep deprivation</li>
<li>Stress- physical and emotional</li>
<li>Overeating or intake of large amount of sugary foods</li>
<li>Medicines consumed for a therapy</li>
<li>Food intolerance</li>
<li>Pregnancy</li>
<li>Migraine</li>
<li>Bulimia</li>
<li>Depression</li>
<li>Diabetes</li>
<li>Flu</li>
<li>Food poisoning</li>
<li>Gastroenteritis (Stomach Flu)</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Several other chronic diseases also have symptoms of Nausea. But this can be differentiated by considering the frequency of nausea one experiences.<br />
However, nausea can be attended very quickly and effectively with a few simple alternative remedies. They are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Consume 1 to 2 tbsp of any non-carbonated syrup to bring relief to your digestive system and cool your stomach</li>
<li>Eat fresh piece of ginger with a pinch of salt or drink ginger tea for instant relief</li>
<li>Peppermint or chamomile tea is also capable helping you get rid of the nauseating feeling</li>
<li>Boil 1/2 cup of rice in 1 cup of water for 10-20 minutes. Separate the water from the cooked rice and drink the rice water</li>
<li>Consume 1/2 tea spoon grounded cumin seed to find relief from nausea and vomiting</li>
<li>Acupressure can benefit provided you know the right pressure points. You can do this by applying pressure between the thumb and forefinger. This would help remove the queasy feeling and stop vomiting sensations. Anyway, you are advised to consult an acupressure specialist to know the right pressure point</li>
<li>If you are suffering from nausea as a condition of morning sickness during pregnancy, then take &#8211; a mix of 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar and 1 tbsp honey in cold water &#8211; before going to bed. If you can tolerate dairy products then wheat germ mixed with milk every hour will also help you get rid of nausea</li>
</ul>
<p>Nausea can be completely controlled with your healthy dietary habits. Simple diet that one can take care of is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Smaller amounts of food are always good for you. Once you start feeling better you can start taking fiber rich diet such as banana, rice, apple sauce and toast</li>
<li>A fresh and healthy diet of fruits and vegetables is always good</li>
<li>You should completely stop having junk, spicy and oily food</li>
</ul>
<p>Prolonging and recurring nauseating feeling should be checked and administered through medical care.</p>
