When I started having heart palpitations a few years ago, I was terrified, because the doctor could not tell me what was causing them. I found out on my own that a diet too low in magnesium could cause these symptoms, and that many people had found relief in taking …

Working at the computer for long hours made my hand muscles and wrist tired, over worked and cramped. Although I tried reducing the pain by applying hot compress on it after returning from work, I was on a look out for a more simple and effective way in dealing …

I tend to cut my fingers a lot when I am working in the kitchen. I have a particular deli knife that gets me every time. Because of this, I always keep bandages and finger cots on hand in the kitchen, so I can quickly bandage up the cut and …

When my dentist told me that I would be needing to irrigate the pockets where I had developing gum disease, I was a little intimidated by all the products out there. I ended up with a WaterPik device, which I had some difficulty with and returned but never bought another …

I’ll admit I bought this product because it looked like a flower. It comes in a really cute plastic package and the bar is a bright orange color that just made me happy looking at it, and I hadn’t even opened it and smelled it yet. It has what …

I am battling at this moment with a tooth that needs a new filling. The old filling is disintegrating, and it is leaving a nasty, disgusting taste in my mouth that I will have to deal with until my dentist’s appointment. I’ve tried several things to get the rotting …

I found a comparable …

I’m a little hooked on the idea of using oil products for my hair. My hair can be oily and dry at the same time, and it’s very thick. Sometimes I can’t even run a comb through it without running into problems and without my head hurting as a …

I didn’t really want to buy into the hype of the electric toothbrush. I have had no problems with my manual toothbrush and feel that it is sufficient. However, this past Christmas my mom gave me a Crest Spinbrush as a gift. She loves how it works and wanted …

I have a lot of varicose veins but I stopped taking pills for this condition since the medication did not work. I just tried to find ways to lessen the pain by wearing medically prescribed compression stockings. Sigvaris is the brand of compression stockings recommended by the family’s …

I have fibromyalgia, and although that is not an inflammatory disease, I had heard rumors of some people getting relief from this product. It contains several substances to help protect cells from free radicals, and eases muscle tension from various causes, like emotional stress or over work. It is mostly …

Over the last few years, I’ve become a little obsessive about caring for my feet. When I was in China visiting relatives I learned a lot from massage and acupuncture therapists about how the feet can affect the rest of the body and it was almost a little frightening …

S T 37 is a product that my grandmother used to use. Living in her house for years, I used it too. It is one of those interesting items that can be used for many different things. It is an antiseptic based on hexylresorcinol, and can be used in the …

I drink a lot of sugary milk tea so I have to take proper care of my teeth. I don’t have a bad breath problem but I have a history of dental problems. I did get some fixes on cavities done when I was in school. I …

When I purchased Phentramin-d, which was the time I tried to take Dexatrim. I do not have a good experience with Dexatrim not because it is not effective. It is effective in making me lose weight but I never experience the blocking of hunger. The worst part is the …

The top portion of my hair is straight enough on its own to wear a straightened style without much work, but the ends are a frizzy nightmare. I was interested in this product because of the claim that it would help keep your hair straight for three days. A “semi-permanent” …

I’ll admit it. Having suffered from weight problems almost my entire life, I’m a total sucker for those lose-weight-quick pills. I’ve definitely tried my fair share of them over the years, and usually it’s with little to no results. But does that stop me from trying more? Of course …

Last weekend, my mom and had our masseuse come over at our house to give us a body massage. At last, I was able to use the Body Shop Harmonising Massage Oil that I bought earlier this year. It came in a special Body Shop gift pack …

This review is for a feminine protection pad that is probably the best I have ever used in my life.
I have always loved the Always brand. I like the design, quality and performance of all their products. I was a little slow to try the new Infinity pads, …

I bought this Tresemme gel because I was out of my usual brand, and it was cheap. In general, styling gel is not something I use a lot of, but I like to keep some around if I need it to smooth a style or add some extra hold that …

I couldn’t believe it when I actually found Puralin in a store! I had to order it online years ago when I first tried their homeopathic weight loss pills (that worked, mind you), and so when I found this natural remedy for sinus congestion I knew I had to …

I have been with this dental centre for about 20 years and I cannot bear the place. The only reason I have been with them such a long time considering I hate it so much is because as any British person knows, NHS dentists that are taking on …

When you live in the desert, prepared to have all the moisture you’ve ever stored in your body be leeched away by the winter winds. Every winter my body probably shrinks by fifteen percent because so much water is wrung from my poor tissues and it just doesn’t help that …

Lip Vitamins lip balm with vitamins A, C, and E in the flavour of mixed berries is a very nice lip balm. It really softens the lips, it is smooth and not waxy, it is not oily or really shiny. It is not gloopy either like some …

I got into a silly argument over this product. I might not have tried it if not for the argument. When I was with friends at a mall, we came across this Canus line of bath products and one of my friends said she liked this one the best, …

Back in the day when large epilators were popular, I actually used to cringe a lot whenever I would use one of those large epilators because they were really painful and hard to use, and the first time I did it the device broke down and it produced a loud …

I am in my mid-thirties so I have been shaving my legs every day for a long time. I usually use disposable razors, and I have a certain brand that I stick with, unless I see another brand on sale. Sometimes I see a commercial for a …

I work at home taking care of my elderly mother, and I spend a lot of time with my hands in water and cleaners, chemicals, etc. In the winter especially, they can get very dry and my cuticles will crack. I have used a lot of various hand creams …

Rosarita’s vegetarian beans are the best. I know that the word vegetarian may freak some of you non-vegetarians out (Relax! I am a non-vegetarian too!), but I cannot imagine why you would buy the regular non-vegetarian beans if you can get something that tastes just as good instead. …

I wrote a review on Ayurvedagram more than a year ago where I had described a burglary that had occurred in my room. Ayurvedagram purports to be a health resort but one that apparently caters only to the very rich of Inida or to Westerners willing to spend money …

I have used Clean Well hand sanitizer before, and when I saw the hand soap I wanted to try it. Like the hand sanitizer, it does not have triclosan, a chemical that is used in most anti-bacterial soaps but has come under fire recently for being unsafe and causing bacterial …

This was one of the easiest exercise machines that I have ever owned. I wanted something that I knew I would get use out of and also something that was not so hard. The Gazelle Freestyle Elite filled the bill. It was what I needed. I don’t have the …

I only got to see the new Colgate 360 on the commercials. I thought it was an exaggeration of market now days that even toothbrushes are transformed into new forms. My thoughts changed after I got to try the Colgate 360 myself. At first I was a bit hesitant …

It seems to me that the words oil and spray would be counter-productive when put together in a single item, because oils are typically too heavy to make a great spray, but since I’d tried and loved other products in the Macademia Natural Oil hair care line, I didn’t …

Oh what I wouldn’t give to relax a little, I mean I have literally spend countless hours looking for products that are soothing, and conducive to stress relief and restorative health and well being. At this point, I should have a PHD in TLC if you …

I absolutely love mint. I gravitate towards mint in anything: foods, lotions, you name it. Peppermint oil is an essential oil and, unlike most others, tends to be more expensive. I’m not sure why but for me it’s worth every penny. Peppermint is a very invigorating essential oil. You …

I have searched far and wide for acne remedies. Through internet, information transcends geography, and I’ve read some products online that are used by people in some parts of the world. I was glad to see Nixoderm, a household name in select Asian countries like Malaysia, had …

I just had to get this thing after I kept seeing commercials about it on all of my favorite teen drama shows, the The Hills on MTV, and Degrassi on Teen Nick. (I know, I’m sort of still a teen at heart.) The actors seemed really convincing about it, …

As a diabetic who has had problems with chronic and recurring yeast infections, I have tried many things to try and prevent them. Keeping blood sugar under control is of course the best way, but sometimes when you have a yeast issue that won’t go away, even that is not …

Since I have lost a good deal of weight, I’ve noticed the skin under my arms is not very attractive. I don’t know if it is directly due to to weight loss or just coincidental, but since I’ve gotten smaller, the skin under my arms is dark, and just …

As a wearer of contact lenses I have had my ups and downs with different types of lenses and glasses. That is until I started using Focus Dailies - One Day Contact Lenses.
The tagline says “All Day Comfort” and it’s true.
Glasses didn’t work for me as I didn’t …

I have been wearing contacts for a little over five years now, and I have never stuck with any contact lens solution except for Optifree Replenish brand. It is not as nearly cheap as some of the other—¦ generic—¦ solutions, but at around five fifty, on average, for a …

When I broke my leg a couple of years ago, I was having a hard time with it, worrying that I would get it wet when bathing. I prefer showers, and wanted something that I could wear over it, considering even using garbage bags, but was afraid of …
