Rhubarb is commonly available in the produce section of grocery stores. It is a perennial plant with large triangular shaped leaves.

Rhubarb has medicinal uses, but most commonly the plant’s stalks are cooked and used in pies, tarts and other foods for their tart flavor. It has been used as a supplement in traditional Chinese medicine and was also used in medieval Arabic and European prescriptions.

Rhubarb can be used as a strong laxative, with the roots being used as a laxative for at least 5,000 years. Rhubarb has an astringent effect on the mucous membranes of the mouth and the nasal cavity. These substances are cathartic and laxative, which explains the sporadic use of rhubarb as a slimming agent.

In addition, rhubarb root is an essential ingredient in many old homemade ciders, wines and root beers. A strong decoction of Rhubarb root has a purgative action for use in the treatment of constipation, but also has an astringent effect following this. It therefore has a cleansing action upon the gut, removing debris and then astringing with antiseptic properties as well.

Studies have shown that rhubarb may improve bowel movement, regulating the frequency and passage of hard, dry stools. Most Rhubarb supplements use extracts from the rhizome and root of Rheum palmatum plants which are cultivated and harvested in late autumn or early spring according to traditional Chinese methods.

Winter is quickly approaching and, once again, it’s time to fortify your immune system.

Boosting immunity is easy and simple. We all know the importance a healthy diet loaded with vitamin C to maintain a strong immune system. Adequate indoor temperature is also important to stay healthy. Make sure heaters are set between 65-70 degrees, not too hot, not too cold. Drastic temperature changes are often responsible for colds, sneezing and runny nose.

Natural supplements are one of the safest approaches for immune support and overall health. Immune support formulas provide plenty of vitamins, including high doses of vitamin C, as well as zinc and herbal combinations including ingredients such as Echinacea and Elderberry, known for keeping the immune system at peak performance.

Vitamin C supplements are still the number one product for immunity but a glass of orange juice every morning can help. Take advantage of seasonal fresh produce. Tangerines, mandarin oranges, grapefruit and kiwifruit are all good sources of vitamin C. Don’t like citrus? No problem, mushrooms may help.

Mushroom extracts have become a very efficient natural alternative to enhance the immune system. Most products offer a blend of mushrooms such as shiitake and maitake, clinically tested to ensure results. If you have tried these products in past winters and did not like the results, probotics may be the solution.

Probiotic is known as the “good bacteria” and can build up the immune system, preventing fever, cough and colds. It can significantly reduce the duration of fever and is highly recommended during antibiotic use.

Don’t wait any longer. Start building up a strong immune system right now and be ready when the real winter arrives.

Today is Blog Action Day. Thousands of bloggers will unite to discuss a single issue. This year’s topic is climate change. We aim to raise awareness, initiate action and to shake the web!

Climate change is one of the world’s biggest concerns. Global warming has been one of the most controversial topics in recent years.

We all live in the same planet, breathe the same air and use the same water. We share the same environment but are divided in different space limitations called countries. Many problems often arise when world leaders representing their nations need to debate the best way to address the issue of global warming in order to protect the planet we live in.

The approach to “protect our planet” has different views in a variety of countries. Some countries have political conflicts, which may prevent them from emphasizing on environmental issues. Some other countries, however, have economic difficulties and, despite a strong will to develop programs, struggle to accomplish their goals.

In recent years, the record number of natural disasters is a clear indication of the problems caused by global warming and that our planet Earth is reacting to the way we live. Record number of hurricanes and typhoons, flood rains, endless droughts and record high temperatures are just a few examples.

The changes of climate affect one of the foundations of the human being: the agriculture. The food industry has taken a severe hit from recent climate changes. Poor harvests result in smaller productions of foods, struggling business, unavailable products and unemployment, among other related issues.

Farmers often rely on the weather to accomplish their goals and many farms are extremely dependable on seasonable weather for a productive harvest. The food industry is essential to any society and obviously should be considered a priority for every country. Small harvests will result in less food and future generations could be facing a severe problem. With the world’s population rapidly increasing, food production may not fulfill the demand. Moreover, it has an immediate impact on the economy as smaller harvests generally result in price increases, making food unaffordable due to higher prices. This important issue could increase starvation, already a major problem in many countries.

In addition, inconsistent harvests will affect the supplement industry as multiple products use natural ingredients. Herbal supplements could vanish from stores and may be unavailable for a long period of time, severely affecting people who rely on them.

Some people may think this topic is very complex and nothing can be done because of the magnitude of the issue. Global warming is caused by increasing concentration of greenhouse gases, results of human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.

However, every small action can help to “save our planet”. Try to recycle, use water properly, minimize the unnecessary use of vehicles and save energy; just a few simple examples to protect our world. If every person can reduce their daily damages to our planet, we can minimize this problem and create a better place for future generations.

This blog is part of Blog Action Day 09: Climate Change.
