Benefit Of Tea

The possible beneficial health effects of tea consumption have been suggested and supported by some studies, but others have not found beneficial effects.

Studies claim that the polyphenol content of green tea has antioxidant properties that can help prevent cancer, however research is ongoing.

There is also a suggestion that it can increase endurance in exercise by improving fat metabolism.

One should consult a doctor before using high concentrations of tea for disease prevention.

Ingestion of large amounts of tea may cause nutritional and other problems because of the strong binding activities of tea polyphenols and the caffeine content, although no solid data exist concerning harmful effects of tea consumption.

Lavender oil — Lavender oil is an essential oil obtained by distillation from the flower spikes of certain species of lavender. Two forms are distinguished, Lavender Flower Oil, a colorless oil, insoluble in water, having a density of 0.885 (g/mL); and Lavender Spike Oil, a distillate from the herb Lavandula latifolia, having density 0.905.

Lavender Flower Oil is a designation of the National Formulary and the British Pharmacopoeia. It is not a pure compound; it is a complex mixture of natural products. Lavender oil should never be taken internally. Lavender oil, which has long been used in the production of perfume, can also be used in aromatherapy.

Sunburn — A sunburn is a radiation burn to the skin produced by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, commonly from the sun's rays.

A similar burn can be produced by overexposure to other sources of UV, such as tanning lamps and welding arcs.

Exposure of the skin to lesser amounts of UV will often produce a suntan.

Usual mild symptoms are red or reddish skin that's hot to the touch, a washed out feeling, and mild dizziness. Sunburn can be life-threatening and is a leading cause of cancer.

Sunburn can easily be prevented through the use of sunscreen, clothing (and hats), and by limiting solar exposure, especially during the middle of the day.

The only cure for skin burn is slow healing, although skin creams can help.
