The flower, hibiscus sabdariffa, was domesticated in Sudan or West Africa nearly 6,000 years ago and was used primarily as a beverage or food. In ancient Egypt hibiscus tea was used as a beverage to cool off pharaohs in the desert heat. Today hibiscus tea is known around the world for its many health benefits.

Hibiscus tea health benefits include:

• Lowering blood pressure.
• Improving insulin sensitivity.
• Lowering blood fat levels.
• Protecting the liver.
• Fighting bacteria.
• Reducing cancer risk.
• Aiding in weight loss.
• Reducing inflammation.
• Improving digestion.
• Reducing anxiety and depression.
• Reducing the risk of catching a cold or flu.

Hibiscus tea is loaded with vitamin C, antioxidants, flavonoids, carotene, anthocyanins (which gives it its deep, red color), niacin, calcium, iron, and ascorbic acid. The tea is caffeine-free, has a pleasant taste, and is easily consumed hot or cold.

“Ali’s Portal” is very different from the usual fare of exciting suspense novels by Saylor Storm.  Instead, readers are treated to a superb character-driven narrative of a life that is not everything it seems.  Ali has a sales job where she frequently conducts business in China.  As such she frequently flies out an air terminal waiting for connecting flights.  As “Ali’s Portal” opens she waits in a bar at an airport where she begins a friendship with a bartender who makes a special drink that enlightens her to gazing into her world to come to a surprising conclusion.  “Ali’s Portal” is filled with masterful writing, stimulating characters, and motivating conflicts to a final satisfying finale sure to please any reader. Gary Roen senior reviewer midwestbookreview.com

Skin brushing has been around or thousands of years dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Russians, Turks, and Scandinavians. Its many health and beauty benefits are widely known in Ayurvic medicine.

Skin or body brushing benefits include:

• Reduces appearance of cellulite.
• Eliminates dead skin.
• Enhances blood circulation.
• Stimulates oil glands.
• Enhances cleansing of the lymphatic system.
• Promotes even fat distribution.
• Rejuvenates the nervous system.
• Enhances digestion function.
• Enhances kidney function.
• Allows for better absorption of products.

Dry brushing should never scratch or harm the skin. Natural bristle brushes are best, pressing firmly and gently over the skin in long strokes toward the heart. Once a day to once a week is recommended on dry skin just before showering or bathing.

You may or may not have heard of oil pulling. It’s an ayurvedic practice that has been around for thousands of years and its health benefits are impressive, especially for dental hygiene.

Oil pulling dental health benefits includes:

• Kills bad bacteria.
• Reduces bad breath.
• Prevents cavities.
• Reduces inflammation.
• Improves gum health.
• Whitens teeth.
• Pulls out toxins.
• Heals bleeding gums.
• Reduces plaque.

In addition to dental health benefits, oil pulling is also known to clear blocked nasal passages, prevent heart disease, and even kill a hangover!

The most common oils for pulling are coconut, sunflower, and sesame.  Simply place a teaspoon (you can work up to a tablespoon) of your favorite oil in your mouth and swish vigorously for 20 minutes. You may need to slowly increase to 20 minutes but even 5 minutes will create benefit. When finished, do not spit the oil down the drain as it will solidify and clog your plumbing; instead, spit it directly into a garbage can.

I prefer to use coconut oil like this: https://amzn.to/31SakBm

Moringa contains a powerful antioxidant and is shown to reduce blood pressure, improve blood sugar levels, protects the liver, and heals gut issues. Its health benefits are nearly endless.

The tree can be consumed in numerous ways; capsules, tea, powder and seeds are the most common. The recommended dose for capsules is three per day, the powder one teaspoon per day (can be sprinkled over food or consumed in water), or two seeds per day.

Moringa is also used in shampoos, soaps, and skin oils and is well known for leaving its users with shiny, thick hair and wrinkle reduced, glowing skin.

Not all moringa powder is created the same. This is a high-quality brand that I recommend: https://amzn.to/3jGi13D
