Stuff That Worked
This space was created to share things that have worked for us – in case they can help you, too. Sure, life’s a buffet and one man’s meat (or toufu) may be another’s turnoff. But hey, no right, no wrong. If what we share here works for you, too, super cool. If not, we hope something right will show up for you soon.

BLUE PEA FLOWER TEA
CAN REDUCE THE NUMBER
OF WHITE HAIR YOU SEE?
Honestly?
There’ no black & white proof.
But my neighbour swore
her number of white hair
has lessened. She now helps
herself daily to the flowers
hanging out of my garden wall (LOL).
Coincidentally, mum also swears
she now plucks fewer white hair
from my head. Confession: I seek her help to pull out
the occasional cheeky ones that “wave’ at me
when I look into the mirror.
Blue pea infusion benefits* are impressive
· Alleviates depression
· Reduces stress
· Promotes healthy eyes
· Stimulates hair growth
· Accelerates weight loss
· Enhances skin health
· Facilitates digestion
Seems it is also good for the heart.
Honesty, just looking at the stunning colour
of my blue pea tea is heartening!

DINOSAURS ARE EXTINCT. OUR SOIL IS SET TO BE NEXT.
S.O.S = Save Our Soil!
Did you know soil death equals our death?
Did you know you can help STOP imminent soil extinction
with just 10 minutes of your time.
But first, the facts:
87% of life on planet earth depends on soil.
Yet 90% of earth’s soils could be degraded in just 28 years.
80% of insect biomass is already lost in the last 25-30 years.
Food production is already falling.
Imagine what could happen in a few more years?
Soil degradation is linked to natural disasters, massive floods, escalating health issues and more.
Join the movement to stop its extinction.
Help Mother Earth (ironically, the acronym is “M.E”).
Prevent World Extinction ( acronym "W.E" - no coincidence?).
Find out how you can at www.consciousplanet.org
For detailed facts, Dr Sanjeev Narrainen’s writeup at Linkedin offers good insights on soil degradation.

THE TOOL THAT TRANSFORMED MY LIFE
Ever longed for "A Guide Book to Life"?
One that can help you navigate
through life’s bumps and potholes?
Well, me, too.
But I never found that book.
Instead, I found an amazing tool
that turned my life around,
180 degrees,
It was the best thing
that ever happened to me.
I became JOY FULL.
Even when I am by myself
or watching a sunset.
Or caught in a massive traffic jam.
Serious. LOL.
Colleagues want to know
how I can always stay so calm
when everyone else is freaking.
One even hugged me,
hopping my calmness
can “rub off” on her.
Life suddenly flowed.
Effortlessly.
The tool?

MY FUR KID’S CHRONIC SKIN ISSUE WAS REVERSED WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS OR STEROIDS
For many years, my beloved Shih Tzu suffered from a terrible chronic skin disorder - fungus triggered by wet seasons. Very common among her breed. It got so bad that a well-meaning person asked if I was prepared to “let her go’. But out of the blue (that’s another story for another day) a total stranger introduced me to kefir – the CHAMPAGNE of dairy. Saw results within few months, full recovery after a year or two.
NOTE: Introduce PLAIN kefir in small doses. I started with 1 tbsp. Gradually increased to 2-6 tbsps/day.
Making kefir is as simple as making yogurt, an overnight process. But you will need kefir “grains” to get started. Check Youtube for tutorials.
You can buy the kefir and kefir starter grains from stores or online
One reliable source is from Wetnose Pet Shop in Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya. Tel: +603 7727 3797. My fur kids’ groomers. They are the kindest souls on earth and fur kids are very loved by them, including mine.

Losing Weight Is Easier Than You Think.
If your weight loss has hit a plateau,
it's time for drastic measures
that have proven to work
- at least, for me.
Though I do not have a weight problem,
I tried the steps suggested by Dr Berg
out of curiosity.
It worked.
I lost weight on DAY ONE.
See if it works for you, too.
Lose the wait (weight) now.

INSOMNIA? TRY THIS SIMPLE TECHNIQUE. Hey, Snooze And You WIN!
They say the best things in life are free.
But for many people, especially urbanites,
getting a good night’s sleep
doesn’t seem to come easy anymore.
Our hectic lifestyles, constant worrying
and stress aggravate the issue even more,
What’s even more worrying is
chronic sleep deprivation can lead to serious
health issues including depression.
Worse, it can literally age you prematurely.
Why? Because when we sleep,
our skin makes new collagen
which is vital for skin health, delaying
the onset of wrinkles and skin sag.
Sleep deprived peeps usually look
tired and in some cases, haggard,
right? I rest my case. LOL.
Common home remedies for sleep issues
Include drinking warm milk BEFORE bedtime.
Eating a plateful of lettuce is
supposed to help, too (now, THAT I have not tried).
Replacing harsh fluorescent lamps
with the softer glow of LEDs. Plus turning
off our TV, handphone, etc, an hour before
turning in are also helpful.
However, recently, I chanced upon a simple
rhythmic technique on YouTube
that worked for me. I was yawning
as I tapped – at 1st try!
Try it out for yourself?
Nothing to lose
… except premature wrinkles?
Here’s the link to the video. Tapping starts at 5:44.

HAIR TODAY. GONE TOMORROW? Stop Hair Loss Naturally. Regain Your CROWN-ing Glory Quickly.
They say hair loss is hereditary.
Part of ageing.
Not in my experience.
While I always had thin fine hair
as an adult, my hair is now lusher
with age. Go figure.
Except during one stressful stage in my life
where my hair fell out by the handful.
I was fighting a severe bout of dengue fever.
Followed by two deaths in the family.
All in span of 3 short months.
Every time I washed my hair,
it came out in CLUMPS.
Enough to dress a naked
Barbie doll’s head!
Luckily, as predicted by
a hair specialist, my hair grew back.
after a few months.
Seems it was alopecia areata,
not female pattern balding.
PHEW!
Try the natural hair remedies
recommended in the video.
Regain your crowning glory.
Regain your confidence.
Here’s to having a good hair day,
every day. Hair! Hair!

NEED TO BANISH THE BLUES?
Take Two. For Instant Relief.
Yep, they come in pairs.
YOUR SHOES.
Grab them, go out for some exercise.
Exercise is such a basic necessity
especially in our modern society
where we are more sedentary than active.
A number of studies have found that
exercise helps depression.
It’s proven to lift your mood
and improve your sleep patterns
- without the need of a gym membership.
How to increase physical activity you ask?
You know the drill: Walk or cycle
instead of using the car.
Get off the tram a stop earlier
and walk the rest of the way.
Sounds too difficult?
Go shopping!
Just get moving.
Go on, grab your shoes.
Or if in the park, walk bare footed.
Start with an easy stroll
a few minutes a day.
Soon, you’ll find your body
will be asking for more
Read up the many health benefits
of doing a simple exercise daily.

It works. It’s FREE.
Remember, when the blues hit,
take two.

EAT TO LOOK YOUNGER, NOT OLDER
After All, You Are What You Eat, No?
Your skin regenerates itself every month,
approximately every 27 days.
Makes sense then that
you are never too young nor too old
to have younger looking skin.
Start making informed food choices
for a healthier, more youthful you.
Many people have proven that
it is possible at any age.
You can, too.
Check out the 5 food tips and
bonuses featured in the video.
Recently, I started taking ghee daily
after watching Dr Vivek's Youtube
on the benefits of ghee.
After few weeks, the dinosaur-looking
scaly skin on my legs disappeared
and it is now so much smoother
with a health sheen!
I also noticed my face is also
now softer and, dare I say, fairer.
Pst! Now mum wants
to take ghee daily, too! LOL
FOOTNOTE: At first, I was hesitant to try ghee for fear of the strong "cow-y" smell (Me Chinese, not milk fan). Bought AMUL ghee. Touted the best. Was surprised it tasted pleasant with the promised "nutty" flavour. Hope your experience will be the same.

REMOVE 97% BACTERIA FROM DRINKING WATER. With A Humble Copper Vessel.
Did you know
among all metals,
COPPER is the only one
with anti-bacterial properties?
Ayurvedic practitioners
have known this
since time immemorial.
Science is finally catching up,
backing copper’s potent ability
with research findings.
According to a study presented
at the World Health Organisation (WHO)
1st International Conference on Prevention
and Infection Control (ICPIC) in Geneva,
copper surfaces used in ICUs have proven
to eliminate 97% of bacteria
and reduce infections by 40 percent.
But do remember,
the water is best stored overnight
in the copper vessel before drinking it
to ensure the antibacterial effect
has been successful.
The rise of Ayurvedic and
indigenous medicines
has seen a rise in
the use of copper products
especially vessels and cups.
You can find them easily
in Indian stores anywhere.
Personally, I buy mine
from ishalife.my
for their quality.
Try this simple
purification system,
it truly holds water!
(Pun intended)
“If you keep water in a copper vessel, preferably overnight or at least for four hours, the water acquires a certain quality from the copper which is very good for your liver in particular and your health and energy in general.” Sadhguru | Renowned Mystic
Watch his YouTube video on “Water Memory” for full details

IMPROVE BLURRED VISION QUICKLY. Nature’s Remedy Is Out of Sight.
If your eye sight is getting fuzzy,
don’t rush out for a new pair
of glasses - yet.
Check your blood sugar level.
High blood sugar can adversely
affect the lens of the eye,
Causing it to swell, thus affecting
your ability to see.
Logic will tell you to quickly cut down,
or out, on your sugar intake
including carbohydrates that
our body convert to sugar.
Yep, stuff like breads, pasta,
biscuits and even fruits high
in sugar content. Sad, right?
But good news?
It’s only for a short while.
Till you get sugar levels
are back on track.
SOURCE: https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/diabetes-blurred-vision
So, when a friend shared this natural
home remedy, for improving vision,
using lady’s fingers (known as okra in US),
I jumped at the chance to try it.
Especially since it had worked
for her husband and friends – mainly MEN, though.
But ladies, we have nothing to lose
– we might see our men better! LOL
For this remedy to work,
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS closely.
1. Take 3 lady’s fingers (SHORT and GREEN preferred).
2. Rub off the fine “hairs”.
3. Break into half (use hands, NOT KNIFE).
4. Put the pieces in a mug or bowl.
5. Pour in 300ml HOT water.
6. Cover. Let it soak for 8 HOURS. MINIMUM.
(TIP: Prepare it overnight)
7. Upon waking DRINK IT AFTER BRUSHINGyour teeth.
8. WAIT 30 MINUTES before having breakfast.
REPEAT steps for 2 weeks.
IMPORTANT:
1. IF YOU MISSED A DAY, START OVER.
(Drinking for the next consecutive 14 days)
2. Test your blood sugar levels every 4-5 days to see if it’s working.
Diabetics have also seen improvement
in their eyesight but they have to take
this concoction for longer periods.
PLUS include steamed lady’s fingers
in their meals. DAILY.
Too much, you say?
Don’t lose sight of your goal:
Better eyesight with lower blood sugar level.
Naturally. Holistically.
Mother Nature will see to it.

BULLET PROOF YOUR IMMUNITY AFFORDABLY.
Get More Bang for Your Buck.
Try This Simple Remedy.
The remedy?
Monolaurin.
Mono…WHAT… u may ask?
It’s super concentrated lauric acid,
a natural compound commonly found
in coconut oil & breast milk.
Monolaurin has been proven effective against:
· Resistant type viruses
· Resistant type bacteria
· Flu virus
· Chronic fatigue syndrome
· Herpes
· Shingles
“How does Monolaurin work?”
It dismantles viruses by destroying the mechanism
and dissolving the outer envelope around the virus.
SOURCE: 2013 study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food confirmed the results of other in vitro studies that showed the antibacterial power of monolaurin.
SOURCE 1: Dr Berg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIzaHVz5218
SOURCE 2: Healthline
https://www.healthline.com/health/monolaurin
Since laurin is highest
in breastmilk and coconut oil,
and the oil is the more easily
available option (no argument there!),
boosting our immune system
should be a breeze for us, Asians.
One teaspoon of good quality
coconut oil daily is all that is needed.
Take it neat.
Or add it to your rice or dishes.
Get started.
Bullet proof your health
for just a few cents.
Daily.

WHITEN TEETH NATURALLY.
Flash A Brighter, Whiter Smile In Just Days.
Have you spent plenty of moolah
to whiten your teeth only to find them
turning yellow again in a matter of months?
Guilty.
That’s because I couldn’t give up my
daily cups of coffee and black tea.
I am also guilty of brushing my teeth
immediately after a meal.
Which I learned later is a
definite NO-NO.
Especially after eating something acidic
which can weaken the enamel.
Try brushing your teeth with fenugreek seed powder,
or massage teeth and gums with coconut oil
and a pinch of salt. Alternatively, chew a mango leaf
for at least 4 minutes, or a neem twig which releases
neem oil known for reducing plaque build-up.
Sink your teeth into any one of these
natural teeth whitening options.
See results in just days.
They could leave you grinning
from ear to ear.
