    At some time or another, we’ve all experienced the effects of sunburn – be it a light burn or a more heavy burn.

    Although the sting of regret of inadequate protection (from UV exposure) can be an excellent incentive to plan more carefully on ‘future’ occasions, it’s of little help in soothing the immediate physical sting (i.e. pain) accompanying sunburn.

    However if you ‘have’ found yourself having spent a little too much time in the sun, -- here are 4 natural home remedies to help ease the pain of sunburn, and assist in the body’s healing process:

    1. Cool Milk Compresses: - The fat and lactic acids in milk are known to have soothing qualities for sunburned skin. Soak a soft cloth or cotton gauze in cool whole milk, and dab carefully onto the burned skin. Do this for around 20 minutes, and follow by rinsing off with cool water. (Due to the importance of the milk’s fat content, it’s important that whole milk be used in this treatment).

    2. Cool, sugarless tea: - The tannin in tea is the active ingredient here, which helps to soothe and relieve some of the discomfort of sunburned skin. After brewing a big pot of tea, and allowing it to cool completely, slosh the affected areas with a soft sponge or washcloth. As with the vinegar (4), you could also fill a spray bottle, and spray the tea directly on the skin. And don’t throw away the used (cool) teabags. These are especially good for sensitive areas around the eyes – simply place the teabags over your eyes if they feel hot and tired. (If you have ‘St. John’s Wort’, consider using this as it contains cooling properties, which can help tone down some of the heat in your skin, as well as soothing the nerve endings damaged by the sunburn).

    3. Aloe Vera: - Aloe Vera is commonly used to treat sunburn. As well as providing soothing relief, it may also assist in the healing process. Apply to the affected areas as needed. Although the gel extracted directly from an aloe Vera plant works best, if you don’t have ready access to one, you may use an ‘over the counter’ Aloe Vera Cream that contains the gel. For this to be effective, just ensure that the cream contains a high concentration of Aloe Vera than it does water or other solutions.

    4. Water: - When exposed to the sun, your body loses water and essential body salts. Dehydration occurs when your body loses too much fluid, and begins to reabsorb fluid from the blood and other body tissues. To prevent the consequences of dehydration, increase your fluid intake to ensure you adequately re-hydrate your body for optimum recovery and health.

    Sunburn should of course be avoided where possible -- particularly as it’s adverse affects not only include damage to the skin, but also the increased risk of skin cancer. Prevention and protection should always be considered the best treatment for sunburn, and will assist in ensuring your optimum long-term health!

    DISCLAIMER: These are home remedy tips only, and should not replace your regular health care provider. If in doubt at any time in relation to your sunburn, please seek the appropriate health care assistance.

    image thumb Exploring Alternative Medicine for Cancer One of the most controversial topics is alternative medicine for cancer. There are many people who are very interested in the use of alternative cancer medicine. In some cases, the treatments of radiology and chemotherapy are too harsh for some patients to handle. Some may decide to seek alternative methods of treating their cancer, however this definitely depends on their individual situation, condition, diagnosis and more. First and foremost, the patient should work with their doctor and oncologist no matter what they decide.

    One of the most widely known alternative medicine cancer therapies is Essiac Tea. The tea is the name Caisse spelled backwards, in honor of Rene Caisse, a Canadian nurse who developed an herbal formula for cancer patients. During her life, she never charged for her remedy and never sought to profit from it. The four main ingredients in her formula are native to Ontario and the formula itself is thought to come from the Ojibway Indian tribe of Canada. It is a blend of Slippery Elm Bark, Burdock Root, Indian Rhubarb Root and Sheep Sorrel. Caisse lived to be 90 years old and was renowned for her healing efforts.

    Doctors and oncologists warn that during periods of traditional treatment like radiology and chemotherapy, there should be no vitamins, supplements, herbs, antioxidants or anything else of that nature consumed. One reason for this is because they may protect the cancer cells in addition to the normal cells, thus negating the effects of the treatment. However if these treatments are not used or if a patient is in remission and wants to try an alternative treatment it is something they should explore with their medical professionals and a specialist in that area. It is nothing to begin lightly, any kind of cancer treatment should be thoroughly researched.

    Alternative medicine for cancer is not widely accepted in the medical world. However alternative medicine cancer treatments may be offered at holistic healing centers or even cancer treatment centers around the world. Whether or not they are an option for you or a loved one depends on individual medical circumstances. One thing is fairly well established, and that is a diet rich in fruits and vegetables certainly can't hurt the cause of cancer prevention. However for those already diagnosed, traditional oncology should be sought first and foremost and all doctor's orders followed.
