    Baths and not so fresh smell

    If this is happening one week out of the month, it sounds to me like it is probably related to her menstrual cycle. Even though she's only actually flowing every three months, her body may be trying to get things started on the off months, resulting in a slight odor or discharge.

    Ginger and Menstrual Cramps

    Ginger is naturally anti-inflammatory. That's the property that likely helps in this situation, although I think it may also have beneficial effects on the blood. The health benefits from ginger do come from all forms, but I don't think powdered would make a good tea. You can likely buy...

    Propel Water

    I like some of the flavored waters, but I think it's a much better idea to become accustomed to drinking regular, straight-up water. We've grown up thinking everything needs to be sweet and all that does is keep us hooked on sugar.

    Avacados

    No matter how much I read and hear about the health benefits of avocadoes, I just can't find any way to eat them as they gross me out. The texture is a major part of that, but I don't think they're very tasty, either.

    Selling herbal preparations

    If it's anything medicinal, get yourself a lawyer and really know the laws. It's a very, very involved and complicated process, depending on state and local regulations.

    Self defense

    Everyone should know basic self-defense. They're constantly touting the idea of women taking self-defense classes, but there are an awful lot of men who need the training, too.

    He keeps catching colds!

    If he's constantly catching all the office bugs, his immune system is not as strong as it should be. The first things to look at is if he's eating right, getting enough rest and exercising regularly. If he's doing all those things, it might be time to add things like vitamin C and echinacea...

    Have you had elderberries?

    I was reading an article on the front page of this site about how good elderberries are for you. I've never seen elderberries, I don't think. I have heard of elderberry wine, but never tried it. What do elderberries taste like?

    Enemas

    Enemas can be dangerous, actually. There are many cases of perforated intestines from home enema use every year. This stems from the quack idea that your colon must be cleansed. Proponents say fecal matter and toxins build up in therebut there is no scientific basis for that at all.

    Pets and Tomato Products

    I have never heard of tomato being a problem for pets of any kind. Do you remember what they're supposed to do to the pet or were you not told any details?

    Shelter forced to destroy deer meat

    It was commercially processed, not done at home, nutti. This is an absolutely ridiculous abuse of power on the part of the local government, in my opinion. They'd rather let people go hungry? Really? Whoever complained should be totally ashamed of themselves.

    Growing from seed or seedling?

    As I plan my herb gardens, both inside and out, I realized that I don't know which plants are best to grow from seed and which are best to get seedlings from someplace. Any advice? I really have to pick up a good herbal gardening book.

    Curbing Sugar Cravings

    A chocolate bar, at least a normal sized one, is meant to be a single serving and won't hurt you, unless you're doing it too frequently. I would worry more about your unhealthy thoughts about chocolate, to be perfectly honest.

    Douche Kits

    Douching on an occasional basis is not going to hurt anyone. It's those who get carried away and do it too frequently that end up with problems. Your body handles that area all by itself, but there are times where it can use a bit of extra help such as after a problem or after a particularly...

    Indoor and outdoor herb gardens

    I'm finally in a position to have both an indoor kitchen garden and an outdoor herb garden this year. Which herbs are best suited to being grown in pots inside and which ones should stay outside? I don't want to go through a lot of trial and error as that would be such a waste.
