[AlternativeAnswers] Sweet Almond Oil Medicinal Uses

 

Sweet Almond Oil Medicinal Uses:

Generally two varieties of almonds are found, one is sweet almonds and
other is bitter almonds, while the sweet almonds are scientifically
called as Prunus amygdalus, and the bitter almonds are known as aprunus
amygdalus amara. Almond oil is derived from both varieties of almonds;
sweet almond oil and bitter almond oil are used for the treatment of
skin disorders and for hair problems especially, since time immemorial
by the Health care Professionals. The usage of sweet almond oil is very
safe when compared to the use of bitter almond oil, but the both almond
oils provide the potential medicinal benefits, health benefits and
culinary uses of its own. Sweet almond oil is pale yellowish in color
and transparent with nutty taste. It is widely used in aromatherapy,
massage therapy and in Ayurvedic medicine.

The Usage of bitter almond oil should be strictly under medical
supervision of Health Care Professionals only, and with extreme care,
because it contains toxic substances that produce fatal health
disorders. The bitter almond oil should be used in very low mild dose
and in diluted form only, concentrated form of bitter almond oil or
overdose, should not be used because it produces very serious fatal side
effects, as per the scientists and Health care professionals.

Let us discuss the potential health benefits and medicinal uses of Sweet
almond oil and the active ingredients found are carbohydrates, proteins,
fats that contain monounsaturated, saturated, polyunsaturated fatty
acids, and vitamins such as folic acid, niacin, pyridoxine, thiamin,
pantothenic acid, riboflavin of B Vitamin constituents, Vitamin E or
tocopherol and minerals namely, zinc, calcium, iron, phosphorous,
potassium, magnesium, tryptophan, sodium, copper, manganese, and other
flavanoids or polyphenols like kaempferol, quercetin, isorhamnetin,
quercitrin, isorhamnetin 3-0 Glucoside, 3-0 rutinoside, isorhamnetin 3-0
rutinoside, catechin, morin, epicatechin, and isorhamnetin 3-0
galactoside and linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic
acid, arachidic acid, stearic acid, gallic acid and phytosterlols, which
contribute to promote general health and wellness and prevent various

[AlternativeAnswers] Recipe: Fabulous Flax Muffins

 

Good Morning!

Recipe: Fabulous Flax Muffins

Ingredients:

1 cup flax cereal (or vegan bran/fiber/grape nuts cereal)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 and 1/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 cup packed organic dark brown sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 /2 tsp salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp canola oil
1/2 cup mashed banana (about 1 small banana)
1 and 1/2 tsp orange zest
3/4 cup frozen blueberries
1 tbsp agave (optional)
1 tbsp turbinado sugar (raw cane sugar) or stevia (optional)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a muffin/cupcake tin with paper liners. Spray the bottom of each liner lightly with canola oil spray.
In a large bowl, combine the cereal and milk. Let stand for 5 minutes so that the cereal softens a bit. Add the next 11 ingredients (flour through zest) and combine. Next, gently fold in the blueberries. Evenly disperse the batter into the muffin cups.

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

When you have about two minutes left in the baking step, remove the muffin tray from the oven and drizzle some agave nectar on each muffin, then sprinkle some of the turbinado sugar on top of each.

Return tray to oven and bake for those remaining two minutes (not exceeding 25 minutes total baking time). Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Makes 12 muffins. And yes, they are also vegan.

I no longer trust the ped or any doctor we've seen, for that matter.
I recently started giving him a daily probiotic in his morning bottle as an

[AlternativeAnswers] Cooking With Essential Oils

 

Good Morning!

Cooking With Essential Oils

Rich and aromatic plant oils are most often associated with aromatherapy and are
usually used in massage oils, incense and are diffused in the air for a soothing
and healing affect. The benefits of essential oils can also be found with their
tantalizing use in the kitchen. Cooking with essential oils is just another way
of being creative with food preparations.

Essential oils are classified into three main categories and explain their
benefits. The oils are classified as notes, top, middle, or base notes. These
single notes have a general rule of thumb:

*Top notes: are the fastest acting and quickest to evaporate. Lasting 3-24 hrs.

*Middle notes: are the moderately volatile, affect metabolisms, body functions.
Last 2-3 days.

*Base notes: are slower to evaporate, the most sedative and relaxing oils. Last
up to approximately one week.

When cooking with essential oils, it is important to know that because they are
extracted as nectar, they are very concentrated. Essential oils therefore, can
add zest to any recipe and enrich the flavor of your creation. The FDA considers
essential oils as a food additive and regards a majority of these oils as safe
for use. Their safe use requires they be used in moderation and with proper
care.

Here is a list of Essential Oils Certified as Generally regarded as safe (GRAS)
and Food Additives (FA) by the FDA.

Angelica, Basil, Bergamot, Chamomile, Roman, Chamomile, German, Cinnamon Bark,
Citrus rind (all), Clary Sage, Clove, Coriander, Dill, Eucalyptus glob.,
Frankincense, Galbanum, Geranium, Ginger, Grapefruit, Hyssop, Juniper, Jasmine,
Laurus nobilis, Lavender, Lemon, Lemongrass, Lime, Melissa (lemonbalm),
Marjoram, Myrrh, Myrtle, Nutmeg, Orange, Oregano, Patchouli, Pepper, Peppermint,
Petitgrain, Pine, Rosemary, Rose, Savory, Sage, Sandalwood, Spearmint, Spruce,
Tarragon, Tangerine, Thyme, Valerian, Vetiver, Ylang Ylang.

The flavor of these herbs and fruits are concentrated in their volatile oils,
which are extracted by different methods in order for us to benefit from them.
With this many oils at our fingertips, making tasteful, mouthwatering culinary
dishes can be fun and inventive. Here are some general guidelines for certain
groups of oils:

Fruity oils: such as lime, lemon, orange, tangerine, grapefruit and mandarin can
add zest and a full flavor to drinks, desserts and sweet and sour recipes.
Because these are generally top note oils, they evaporate quickly so adding them
into your recipes toward the end is recommended.

Acrid or Spicy oils: such as black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg,
cumin and ginger are warming oils. A little of these oils go a long way. These
are great oils for winter recipes or whenever you want to add a little spice to
your food. They also are considered aphrodisiac oils.

Cooling, Mint oils: such as mint, peppermint and spearmint are great in recipes
that call for a hint of mint such as jams, jellies, sauces or in a cooling tea
for reducing heat in the body.

Floral oils: such as geranium, jasmine, lavender and rose are versatile and
full-bodied in scent and essence. It takes thousands of petals to produce an
ounce of rose oil. Lavender oil is rich in scent and flavor and can be added to
meats, desserts or any creative recipes you make. These floral oils can entice
and bring out the best in any culinary adventure.

Herbal oils: such as basil, dill, fennel, marjoram, mellisa, oregano, parsley,
rosemary, sage, tarragon and thyme are rich and flavorful oils that only need a
hint in any recipe to embody an herbaceous taste.

When making recipes with essential oils, a little goes a long way. The rule of
thumb is to add the oils toward the end of the simmering, baking or boiling
process. The heat will evaporate the oils quickly; so in order to take advantage
of the oils scent and flavor, adding them into the recipe at the last minutes
prolongs the goodness.

The possibilities for flavoring are endless. The best way to try your creation
with essential oils is through trial and error. It is recommended that 2-3 drops
of oil in a recipe would have its greatest effect. Below are some general
guidelines and suggestions for oils by groups.

For meat dishes consider: such as basil, clove, dill, fennel, marjoram, mellisa,
oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon and thyme

For fish and seafood consider: black pepper, fennel, lavender, lemon, lime,
orange, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme.

For poultry consider: basil, dill, fennel, lemon, marjoram, mellisa, orange,
oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon and thyme

For salad dressings consider: basil, clove, lavender, lemon, lime, rosemary,
sage and thyme.

For desserts consider: cardamom, cinnamon, clove, grapefruit, lavender, lemon,
lime, mandarin, nutmeg, orange, peppermint, spearmint and tangerine.

For refreshments and drinks: cinnamon, grapefruit, lavender, lime, lemon,
mandarin, orange, peppermint, spearmint and tangerine.

Seasonal recipes can spark up any celebration, new moon or gathering. Adding
essential oils to these recipes allow us to take advantage of the herbs and oils
of that particular season and offer a taste of what the holiday will bring! Here
are some seasonal recipes that can be created now or anytime!

Spring Chicken

Roast, grill or bake a whole chicken. Add 2 drops each of rosemary lemon and
sage oils in a mixing cup. Add 4 tablespoons of olive oil to the essential oils.
Brush the cooked chicken with the mixture, cover the chicken and place it back
on the heat for 10-15 minutes. Allow the oils to penetrate the chicken for a
full-bodied flavor. Serve.

Summer Cooler Treats

To a 2-quart pitcher of water add 2 drops each of two of these oils of cinnamon,
grapefruit, lavender, lime, lemon, mandarin, orange, peppermint, spearmint and
tangerine. Stir the mixture and add ice and a sprig of mint or rind of orange
for color. Serve.

Fall Pot Roast

Add 2 drops each of basil, clove and tarragon oils in a mixing cup. Add 4
tablespoons of olive oil to the essential oils. Brush the mixture on the
uncooked meat. Roast the meat in the oven. You may want to consider roasting in
a roasting bag to keep in the flavor and juices from the meat. Once the meat is
cooked, remove the pot roast and brush the meat again with the mixture. Place it
back on the oven and let it roast for 10-15 minutes longer. Serve.

Winter Warmer Meatloaf

Make a mixture of hamburger, ground turkey meat, ground chicken meat or a
combination of these, into a bowl with your other ingredients (which may include
tomatoes, oats, breadcrumbs, egg whites, spices). Add 2 drops of dill, fennel,
mint and sage to the mixture. Form into a loaf. Bake. Serve.

Stiff and aching joints
Posted by: "siphiwem1@yahoo.com" siphiwem1@yahoo.com siphiwem1

Hi everyone. I have been vegetarian for the past 4 years due to poor digestion of animal products. Last year my joints started to get stiff and aching during the night. Now, 8 months later, they are getting worse. In the morning I feel the pain when I get up. It gets better during the day, but I feel it as long as I move the joints.

What could be causing this, and how can I improve the situation?

Lots of Love,
Tom and Carole

[AlternativeAnswers] Re: Stiff and aching joints

 

There could be several possibilities to your aching joints. Some of them could be:

1. Your not eating correctly. Being a vegetarian has many benefits, but that doesn't mean your eating correctly to give your body what it needs. I had a client that went Vegan and when I followed up with her, I found out she was eating 75% legumes and 25% fruits/vegetables. I recommended she turn that around, and boom, her energy went up.

2. This can also be energy related. Energies on the planet are changing, along with our bodies. Many people are becoming more and more sensitive to earth activities and weather. An earthquake, even if it isn't in your immediate area, still throws a pulse of electro-magnetic energy up when the tectonic plates come against one another to create that earthquake. A sensitive person can feel that, often in their legs.

Additionally, relating to energy, if you work with people, or have contact with people, you could be picking up energy from others.

Also, what changed in your life when this began? New job, relationship, change of location? etc. Anything new creates a change of energy, and sometimes it isn't the best.

And finally, relating to energy....at least this was my experience, and that of others I know personally, when you eat a more plant based diet, you naturally become more sensitive to energy over time. This means that all of the above could effect you more than others as your body begins to vibrate at a higher frequency due to your eating choices.

Having said all that, you may want to consider the following to help yourself:

1. What you eat: Salt effects the joints. Make sure you eat plenty of greens and a variety of fruits and veggies. The more colorful, the better, as you get more variety of nutrients. You may even want to consider juicing to really get those micro-nutrients.

2. Get in warm water and exercise. I can't recommend water exercise classes enough for people. Not only does the water help to cleanse our body's energy, it also is a natural electro-magnetic shield. Since the body, on a daily basis, has to counter all the signals it gets from many sources, this can deplete our immune system, because our energy is also being used to repel those signals. Being in water naturally creates a protective shield, allowing the body to begin recuperating.

3. Make sure there's nothing happening medically. And if there is, consider working with a Naturopath, or a doctor who will encourage you to work with natural approaches, as opposed to pharmaceuticals (if that is your preference).

4. Learn energy work techniques to help clear and boost your own energy naturally.

Hope this helps!
