Aloe Vera: The Master Healer!
famous as “The Master Healer” in alternative medicine among naturopathic doctors, herbalists, traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine. It is a plant that has been claimed to have healing, rejuvenating, moisturizing, and soothing effects. The fresh leaf gel and latex are used. Aloe latex is the sticky residue left over after the liquid portion of cut leaves has evaporated.Active Ingredients:
Aloe vera is a powerhouse of nutrients and it contains over 200 different nutrients including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and phytonutrients. The phytonutrients existed in aloe vera are anthraquinones, mucilage, saponins, and plant sterols.
Anthraquinones are phenolic compounds with laxative and cathartic effects. Mucilage is a glycoprotein that has an anti-inflammatory activity and covers the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and protects them from being irritated. Aloe vera contains small amounts of saponins and plant sterols.
Aloin is another constituent in aloe vera that gives a bitter taste to the aloe products and has a laxative property as well. Medical authorities have concerns about the safety of aloin in humans.

Immediate Approach to Relieve Cramp:
The 7 Foods To Avoid Giving To Children Under 12 Months:
1) Honey:
It could contain spores of nasty bacteria named Clostridium Botulinum, 
which causes Botulism. Since normal bowel flora in children under 12 months old has not yet fully established, this bacteria could colonize and produce a toxin, which causes “infant botulism”. The most common form of botulism in the USA is infant botulism with about 100 cases per year.
2) Eggs (especially egg whites):
They are common sources of allergy and eczema.
Smelling Salt in Sports:
Mental clarity and consciousness are among the main factors that may help 
athletes function better. Smelling salt is chemically ammonium carbonate. It is used as a “wake up” stimulant by athletes to perform better. Smelling salt is legal in sports, as it has no effects on muscular endurance and strength. It simply increases mental alertness.
Smelling salt is generally used by weight lifters, wrestlers, hockey players, powerlifters, gymnasts, strong man competitors, and especially boxers who look dazed or knocked unconscious. Not only is it used by athletes, but also it could be used on people who are about to faint.
It is also called “baker`s ammonia”. It is a white powder that releases ammonia gas when mixed with water. Most sports coaches carry smelling salt solution in a bottle, and they administer to their athletes by asking them to inhale ammonia for 1-3 seconds on their ways to the stage.
