Our dear friend and healer Yona Kanzen is back from India with notes on three powerful healing ingredients.

Walnut

Did you know that walnut is a great source of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, ellagic acid, melatonin, vitamin E, carotenoids and poly-phenolic compounds? This helps keep the skin cells healthy and rejuvenated. Walnuts are rich in copper which helps iron out wrinkles and helps protect skin from pollution and sun. They are a great post workout snack, and if you want to sleep like a baby eat a few walnuts at dinner, the melatonin will do the trick.

Tulsi

This one is for frequent flyers. To beat stress, fatigue and other ailments associated with the journey, the answer lies in a cup of warm tulsi tea (holy basil). Consume it every 4-6 hours while traveling. Start the day before and continue until the day after. Tulsi is believed to promote longevity, help the body deal with stress and enhance physical and mental health. It has a unique combination of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties that can combat general stress, anxiety, relive symptoms such as forgetfulness and physical exhaustion and assists with sexual and sleep problems. As a mouth wash tulsi tea can treat bad breath, mouth ulcers and prevent dental plaque.

Turmeric

Turmeric has great healing powers and has been used in Ayurveda for purifying blood and treating skin, heart, liver and lung diseases. Turmeric powder is very effective for chronic cough and cold and throat irritations. Treat sprains and swellings with a pinch of turmeric powder, lime and salt. It’s also a great pesticide. Sprinkle a turmeric powder and water mix near all entry points of your house to ward off insects, ants and termites.

1. Practice breathing in a good-sized mixing bowl — at least twice the circumference of your face — filled with warm water. If you have a mirror that can fit into the bottom of the bowl, put that in too. Then try the following:

Dip your chin into the water and leave it there while you breathe...
