I’m hoping to get this plant called eclipta prostata, also called as eclipta alba in Latin or false daisy in English, it’s a herbal plant that is said to be effective in treating hair loss and greying of hair, which is both my problem. I really want to find natural and  cheap hair loss treatment.

I’ve learned that in India and South-East Asia, the boiled or pounded of leaves  eclipta prostata is mixed with coconut oil, sesame oil or other essential oils. Massaging this oil in the hair and scalp is said to promote luxuriant growth of hair, as well as to dye grey hair.

My husband is also suffering from baldness and is also dying to find natural and  cheap hair loss treatment.

While travelling on our way to office this morning, i saw a plant with flowers similar to the flowers of eclipta prostata. I really thought i finally found the plant but when i took a closer look i was dismayed because it was not the eclipta prostata plant i’m looking for.

Anyway there’s another place where i remember i saw a plant similar to it. I’m planning to check this afternoon if it is the same. I really hope it is!

This is the plant eclipta prostata:

There are hundreds of different kinds and brands of weight loss pills and i can say that finding weight loss pills that work is really a daunting task.  So for me instead of spending money on weight loss pills which i’m not really sure if the pill will work on me, i still choose living a healthy lifestyle. This means eating the right type and the right amount of food, drinking plenty of water and doing regular exercises.

Anyway i’m talking about loosing weight because i want to share my discovery the other day. I stumble this video about Zumba Fitness, a fastest-growing dance-based fitness workouts. A girl testified how she lost some pounds doing this fitness workout. Take a look at the video below:

Is there a cheaper way to remove eye wrinkle naturally? I know i already need to take this seriously, my eye wrinkles are too visible now which makes me feel so uncomfortable everytime i am with other people.

My friend is a dealer of Mary K products and she told me to try their anti wrinkle cream. But when i asked how much is the cost, my gosh it is sooo expensive, Well, that is for me since i don’t have much money to spend on beauty products. Another friend recommends Prevage anti-aging cream, however just like Mary K i cannot afford it yet. sigh

Anyway, i searched for some home remedies for wrinkles and here are some of them:

Grape seed oil

Effective for repair of the skin around the eyes and it helps to combat wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin.  Grape seed oil is rich in antioxidants such as proanthocyanidins. If applied on dry skin, it keeps the skin hydrated, and as everybody knows, hydrated skin is less likely to get fine lines and wrinkles than a dry one.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant and it hydrates dry skin very well. Vitamin E will lubricate the delicate eye area, help wrinkles appear less noticeable, and help prevent the formation of new wrinkles.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil works wonders for wrinkles and wrinkle prevention. Massaging coconut oil under the eye area of your skin will help.

Avocados

Take some mashed avocado and apply it around your eyes. As the natural oil contained in the avocado helps turn on your skin’s natural oil production, the skin looks younger and more attractive

Cucumber

Put cucumber slices on your eyes. The cucumber slices will reduce the eye wrinkles, fine lines, and puffiness so your eyes feel reenergized afterwards.

Castor Oil

Castor oil helps to heal under eye wrinkles. Apply and massage a few drops of castor oil to your under eye area at night after cleansing your face.
