Avocados are Mother Nature’s skin moisturizer. With their healthy fats and phytonutrients, they offer remarkable benefits to human skin when either eaten or used topically.
A naturally fatty fruit, avocado is also rich in vitamins, and the green pulp left attached to the peel has the highest concentration. Scrape off the pulp, and apply it directly to the skin.  Avocado oil is rich in vitamins A, D and E, all of which help maintain healthy skin. I suggest applying it directly to any itchy, red or irritated areas.

Avocado has moisturizing power to help make your skin more beautiful. For years, people have used avocado as a natural facial treatment, especially for dry skin. It’s easy to do in your own home. Just remove your makeup and wash your face with warm water and soap or your favorite cleanser. Mash some avocado and mix it with a little milk or oatmeal and apply it to your face. Leave it there for 10 minutes, and then rinse it off with lots of water do this for two to four times a week for an excellent skin complexion.

Its Benefits

• There’s more to avocado than guacamole. Its oil is actually patented as a treatment for some forms of dermatitis and arthritis.

• Avocado oil has been used extensively for its ability to heal and soothe the skin. This use is based on the high hydrocarbon content of the pulp and oil, which may help dry skin.

• Avocado is considered to be a food which keeps the joints of the body moving freely and the skin young.
• The expressed oil of the avocado seed nourishes and maintains skin tone. It softens rough, dry, or flaking skin and, massaged into the scalp, improves hair growth.

• Mashing an avocado and rubbing it into your hair for five minutes after washing will add luster to your hair; rinse afterwards.

• The same vitamins make avocado good for the skin. To help reduce the itching, dryness, and inflammation, apply the mashed fruit directly to patches of eczema.

• Use any heavy oil for dry skin, such as avocado or wheat-germ, and light oil such as almond or sunflower for oily skins. The essential oils of clary-sage, lemon, lime, sage, or thyme are cleansing and suitable for all skin types.

If a baby chokes, hold him up-side down and part pat between the shoulder blades to dislodge the foreign body from the windpipe.

If the object doesn’t come out, seek medical aid immediately. But Burns need urgent treatment to minimise risks of infection.

Burns involving only damage of the skin can be treated at home by removing the child from source of fire and cool the affected area immediately under cold running water for about 10-20 minutes. This stops heat from damaging the child’s skin further.

There are many anti-depressive therapies that use salt in order to preserve the serotonin and melatonin (Neuro transmitters) levels in the brain. The reason rock salt is considered a main anti-stress compound is because it has minerals that help exfoliate dead skin [cells], cleanse skin pores and protect the skin resulting in a healthy and energized skin.

It also helps rejuvenate and strengthen the skin to make it look firm and younger. It also helps get rid of minerals and refined salt deposits by stimulating blood circulation and mineral balance.

The crystal structured mineral also acts as a health monitor that maintain a balance of low and high blood pressure. The salt is used to treat rheumatic pains and herpes. When rock salt is consumed with lemon juice, rock salt can eliminate stomach worms and control vomiting, cough, and chest pain. Rock salt (ekisula in Luganda Language) is referred to as halite mineral, is formed by evaporation of salty water which contains dissolved sodium chloride and less potassium ions.

For many people, rock salt is a tenderiser that helps soften food eg dry beans. Many people unconsciously benefit from it. Its potassium and sodium Ions acts as power generators in the body cells.

Neurons, the cells that transmit messages throughout the body, use ions to communicate information to perform tasks such as regulating body temperature.

Rock salt contains pure minerals eg calcium, potassium, zinc, magnesium and copper. It also acts as an important factor in cancer prevention, as cancer cells can’t live in oxygenated atmosphere. Rock salts aid the movement of blood to keep the body oxygenated.

Scientists say rock salt helps people with diabetes as it regulates blood sugar in the body. The zinc found in rock salt also helps in growth and development of (strong and fertile) sperm cells.

However rock salt may cause goiter if over taken, even hydrocele (empanama) because it brings a lot of water.

Women under garments (read knickers or G. Strings), according to reproductive specialists, have serious dangers. Scientists say that friction caused by G. strings can transfer germs from the woman’s anus to the private parts and urethra to cause urinary track infections.

Other infections G. strings transfers are candididiasis, virginal infections and cystitis urethratis. The most problematic knickers are those made of synthetic material because they can cause vaginal thrush itchy skin and irritable diseases.

Recently Reuters also reported that tight knickers create excessive moisture around the covered skin. The writers went ahead to reveal that lack of enough aeration affects the ecology of the woman’s private parts, making them more prone to diseases/infections.

It should equally be noted that bacteria live well in moist environment created by tight knickers, especially those pants made of nylon. Studies in leading world universities show that the friction caused by the tight knickers like G. strings can damage the sensitive parts of the vagina causing pain when urinating.
