How to Make an Antibacterial Wound Healing Ointment

 Recently, we saw on the channel a paste made of red cabbage and ginger which can help with skin healing, not to mention the benefits for your body. 

But today you will learn about the benefits of a powerful homemade ointment made of garlic and cabbage. 

Do you know this recipe? And, did you know that cabbage leaves have many medicinal properties? 

That's what doctor Blanc, from the University of Paris, found out. He used to cover boils with cabbage leaves and realized that, in a short time, the abscesses would start to expel all the internal pus. 

Besides that, he also noticed that prolonging the treatment by putting the cabbage leaf for a few more hours or days, depending on the situation, would reduce the swelling, help the skin color go back to normal, and stop the pain.  With that, the wounds healed faster.

After this and other findings, he wrote a book about his studies with cabbage. 

The cabbage leaf is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, healing, analgesic, and alkalinizing. It is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, B-complex vitamins, and also has minerals such as calcium, iron, and potassium. 

All of that makes cabbage great to treat abscesses, hemorrhoids, gout, erysipelas, and wounds. 

Garlic has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties,  helping strengthen the immune system and fight germs and infections. 

See how to make a garlic and cabbage ointment. 

This ointment can be used as a natural healing, analgesic,  anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and antifungal.

Why You Should Rinse Your Hair With Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey

 Have you ever heard about the mixture of apple vinegar and honey? 

Many people have the habit of ingesting this combination while fasting to have more energy and to improve their general health. 

But, did you know that this mixture, besides helping to strengthen our body, is also good for the hair? 

Honey and apple vinegar have healing properties and, when combined, their benefits are even stronger. 

Honey is rich in mineral salts, amino acids, and alpha-hydroxy acids that help seal the porous and brittle hairs. 

Using honey on damaged hair can help restore and strengthen them. Besides that, honey is super nutritious and can work as a powerful moisturizer, being able to keep humidity inside the hair, keeping it protected and soft. 

Oh, and the benefits of using honey on your hair don't stop here. It can also work as a natural conditioner since it has strong emollient power. Isn't it amazing? And, if that wasn't enough, honey also helps with hair growth. 

Apple vinegar, on the other hand, is highly recommended for brittle, porous, or oily hair since it helps to seal it. 

Apple vinegar has an acid pH, which helps to close open cuticles and, as a consequence, end the frizz and give more shine to hair. That is fantastic, right?

Celiacs

As a general rule, celiac people or those who are gluten intolerant must avoid oats anyways, since oats can be handled in places where they also handle cereals that contain gluten, causing cross-contamination.

Intestinal diseases

People who suffer from intestinal diseases, such as enterocolitis, chron's disease, diverticulitis, and others, must avoid consuming oats since it can aggravate their cases, besides causing diarrhea or gastroenteritis. 

Oat allergy 

Oat allergy is a rare reaction of the immune system and can cause infection in the body.
