People of all races and ages have acne. Acne is one of most common skin conditions in the world, affecting more than 40 million people. Nearly 80 percent of people from ages 11 to 30 years have acne, most often on the face, chest and back. For most people, acne goes awayby age 30, but people in their forties and fifties still suffer from acne.

Experts just can't agree on what causes acne. Acne, zits, pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and many other skin disorders are usually, but not always, the result of a bad diet. I think the cause of acne is related to our acidic, standard American diet ' inflammatory ' (SAD) and that would also influence all of our hormones including stress hormones.

Since the latest research indicates a connection between stress and acne, make an effort to cut down on stress any way you can.

No over-the-counter creams can help your acne from the inside out; they can only kill some of the bacteria on your face and help reduce theredness.

Besides acne, if you also have eczema or dry skin, coconut oil will treat those skin conditions too. Most commercial cleansers are harsh on the face and trying to find the right one for you could cost a fortune. You want to avoid squeezing, pinching, picking or popping your pimples because it can cause scars or leave dark spots on your skin.

Coconut oil is very inexpensive; it 's a good, cheap, natural home remedy. Coconut oil is one of the best, if not the best, I've found treatments for acne.

The Healing Power of Earth Energy and Feng Shui

In our modern age of technology, the Green moveMent is urging us to re-examine our relationship with the Earth and how we can get back to basics and benefit more from the natural environMent.

The Healing Power of Earth Energy and Feng Shui

Our Earth is a solid grounding force, giving us a feeling of security. It is "terra firma" under our feet. Its revolutions create gravity and secure us to the planet. In traditional Feng Shui practice, we use the earth eleMent to "ground" particular energies inside or outside a home. For example, extra earth is often placed between a house and an electrical transformer on a telephone pole to neutralize excess static electricity that might create what is known as negative energy or "sha". Likewise, it is a common practice for fuel tankers to loadflammable fuel on what is known as a grounding pad that will neutralize any positive ions or electrical sparks that might start a fire. It is also a standard practice in Feng Shui to create raised earth or a "mountain" remedy in front of a home to help balance and support the "people" aspect of many houses. The earth remedy is protective and includes anything made of mineral composition including clay, brick, ceramic, concrete, ceMent, sand, stone or stucco.

Most homes are built on concrete slabs or footings giving a structure strong stability. Homes that are raised above the ground, allowing water or Air to pass freely underneath, are considered to be "destabilized" and can affect an occupant 's health negatively. The type of soil at home is built on is alsoimportant. Soil compaction and composition are looked at carefully before a home is constructed. The soil around a home ideally should be able to stick together allowing compaction which can hold a greater weight load. Soil that can be compacted also shows an ability to hold moisture as this is the optimal kind of land to live on. Soil that is too sandy or clay has more difficulty in nourishing plant life. Plant life helps retain moisture, creates oxygen and also holds the land together protectively with their roots, preventing erosion.

Earth tone colors and shades of brown also have a stabilizing psychological effect on us as well. We love chocolate, our morning coffee or teas, and the fresh baked bread of comfort or pastries. Skin tones too as in all shades of brown fromthe lightest rosy, pinkish Tan to deep mahoganies and luxuriant. Skin colors are reflections of the earth. All colors when mixed with their opposite hue, will create the thousands of shades of brown, we find so comforting and familiar.

The Earth is our physical mother in a profound sense and we literally benefit by re-connecting with her on many levels. Many spiritual practices start with "grounding" exercises in which we re-establish our connection to the earth to strengthen our bodies, as our vessel, in turn empowering our spiritual exercises. Yin and yang balance, very important in Feng Shui practice, is constantly being harmonized by the Earth's energy and rhythms. The Sun provides a plethora of positive ions (yang) that circulate freely in ouratmosphere above a primarily negatively charged Earth (yin). Positive ions are known to irritate us and create anxiety--and negative ions can restore our good moods and boost our health. The Earth is our primary generator of these healthful negative ions often called vitamins of the Air.

It is very interesting to note that Sunspot activity (magnetic anomalies) on the Sun 's surface is very regular and occurs about every 11 years. When Sunspots happen, they cause solar flares to explode into space towards the Earth and our ionosphere captures these extra positive ions which then circulate freely in the atmosphere. These charged particles give us the Aurora Borealis. When sunspots increase, activism and wars also increase especially during the 5 yearpeak periods of sunspot activity, and this has been charted for hundreds of years. Our biggest and most destructive wars occur during these peak sunspot periods. Although the causes of wars have not been proven scientifically, the theory is that an abundance of these extra positive ions increase testosterone levels, making humans more aggressive and anxious. The Earth--and the natural environment--are our richest source and biggest generator of the opposite polarity ion. You can get a dose of negative ions calming by simply taking off your shoes and walking barefoot on soil, grass or sand. The health benefits are amazing--besides the earth--pine trees, salt lamps and water resources like waterfalls or the pounding ocean surf on sand are all great producers ofnegative ions. Take off your flip-flops next time you are at the beach and see if you don't feel better.

In the smaller micro-climate, when we work all day in a room full of Computers and electronic equipment, that extra dose of positive ions makes us more irritable and anxious. In our technological age, there are so many devices which create an excess of positive ions draining. Positive ion generators includes TVs, Computers, iPhones, electronics, wireless appliances, heaters, ovens, air conditioners, dust, pollution and car exhaust to name a few.

Soil-An Essential Natural Resource

Soil is one of the most important and essential natural resources. Farmers and gardeners know this fact and go to great efforts to conserve it. They understand that when the soil is destroyed, then gardens will not be successful and good crops cannot grow. They also know that it takes a considerable amount of time for soil to form. Here we will look at eleMents that must come together in order to form soil.

Soil-An Essential Natural Resource

Soil is defined as a covering over most of the earth's land surface(s) . It is made of particles of rock and minerals, living things and the remains of living things. It takes thousands of years for soil to form just a few inches and for some parts of the country it has been less than that.

Soil is formed in two general ways:

·When weather conditions cause rock to break down.
· When soil is carried from one place to another.

How is soil made?

Air
Moving Air, such as the wind blows sand against rock to wear it down.

Water
The force of running water can wear away rock. Rain and Snow also help to break down rock into smaller particles.

Plants
Plants help the soil as they grow and when they die. As dead plants decay, it adds an organic material to the soil, which makes it more fertile.

Animals
The body waste of many animals helps to keep the soil fertile, as well as the remains of dead animals as they decay.
