Ringworm or dermatophyte infection is a disease caused by different types of fungi usually from the trichophyton, epidermophyton and microsporum genera.

One of the best advantages of a Sodium Ascorbate – generic name of Fern-C (FERN), Vit-cee (CNN Generics) and Alka-C (Interchemex Lab), is this vitamin does not cause stomach upsets unlike Ascorbic acid. Similar to ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate is an important source of antioxidants beneficial for the body. But, is Sodium Ascorbate really better than Ascorbic Acid?
Moringa is generally recognized as aid to promote milk production for breastfeeding mothers. It is usually prepared as a delicious soup but can also be bought in pharmacies in a form of capsule as a food supplement. Nowadays, moringa has also become popular for weight loss.

Arthritis is a chronic disease. While there are about a hundred type of arthritis, there are also many medication of choice for its symptoms. Ibuprofen Advil is a popular treatment for arthritis but long term use of this drug can cause liver damage and other health problems. Pau d' arco capsule as a herbal origin supplement is considered safer, but can this be true?
Senna is known as an aid for constipation. Pharmaceutically, it can be in suppository form, in tablet (Senokot), in capsule (Laxen) and in liquid form (Castoria). It is categorized as a laxative and a purgative. Interestingly, senna is also known as a slimming tea. But, is it recommendable for such use?
While eating can be enjoyable, it can definitely result to obesity. And with this, health problems linked to obesity like osteoarthritis, asthma, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes may arise. Being an overweight has consequences. However, going on a diet especially, for no reason at all may create inconveniences as well.
Compared to capsules and tablets, OTC pain relievers in topical (ointment, creams, gel, liniment) forms are safer. Swelling, utricaria or skin allergy can be a possibility but with topical types, there are lesser risks for stomach pains and no liver damage. In the Philippines, along with Efficascent Oil and Omega Pain Killer, Aldrtz Pau liniment is also one popular topical pain reliever. This is a product review about Aldrtz Pau- its facts, other uses and safety. Read on.
