Back To Nature

Long before antiseptic creams and lozenges came along, natural ingredients like honey, milk and a blend of medicinal leaves were used to cure common ailments. Although modern science has taken over, traditional practices like Naturopathy, Homeopathy and Ayurvedic medicine are still popular options. So before forking out a fortune for that anti-wrinkle cream, head for the kitchen instead. Here are five DIY remedies to treat common ailments:

Hang Up: Aching Feet
Fix It: Pour warm water into a tub or basin. Add two teaspoons of salt with a handful of mustard seeds and soak your feet for 20 minutes.

Hang Up: Hair Loss
Fix It: Mix two tablespoons of olive oil, juice from one lemon, one egg yolk and a handful of crushed rosemary. Apply on hair roots for half and hour and wash off.

Hang Up: Minor Cuts
Fix It: Honey is a natural antibiotic. Just dab a tiny bit of natural honey on the cut and over it with a plaster.

Hang Up: Sore Throat
Fix It: Chop an inch of ginger root and soak it 1/3 cup of boiling water. Stir in one tablespoon of honey and drink when it is still warm.

Hang Up: Wrinkles
Fix It: Mix one teaspoon of olive oil, one egg yolk and two tablespoons of ground oatmeal into a thick paste. Wait for at least half an hour before applying it on the face. Once dried, wash off with warm water.

《几米 故事的开始》

知道关于几米这个人是从报章，杂志里头；知道关于他的作品是从《向左走，向右走》这部电影。过后也只知道他有部作品也成为电影，《地下铁》。他的作品受到各地，各国的欢迎，一位著名，成功的绘本画家。对于他，我知道的是如此而已。读完了《几米 故事的开始》，我才开始真正认识几米。

还没有成为几米之前，原来他是与癌症拼搏过来的。他说：“创作帮我忘记疾病的恐惧，纡解我的哀伤。1998年，我开始出书，意外地受到鼓励与欢迎。”我说一点也不意外。一个历经生活洗炼而奋战过来的人，他所作的都会感动每一个人，深深影响着一个人。所以他10年里的30本书，故事的开始，创作的背后都来自他的生活，他的经历，他的遭遇，他的体会。。。。。。

他如是说：“说我平步青云，步上人生高峰，没错。我像皇帝般地受到美丽的妻子，仁慈的护士和医术高明的医生24小时全心全意的呵护。我终于明白那一年生命大发的意义了。你正在过怎样的季节？春，夏，秋，冬？心情冷暖又是由谁决定的？上帝？自己？还是路人甲？我在寒冬里，梦见走进春天的花园。。。。。。醒来时，香气满身。”真是充满希望与坚强。

一本不错的书 。
