There are at least three major ways to renew your hair color when you get old and gray. You can choose to go to your hair salon and have your hair dresser provide a professional hair coloring. This involves washing, bleaching and then adding your color of choice – none of which is good for your hair. You can choose to buy a colonization kit of your choice at your local drug or department store. Again, it will normally involve first bleaching your hair and then adding color of your choice. And again you are beginning your process by harming your hair. You can also choose to purchase a single-chemical colonization process. This usually works by applying it during your shower, letting it stay on your hair for as long as you want color-depth to return at each rinse, and then rinse it out. This is not nearly so damaging to your hair as bleaching processes. The downside to any of these choices, including both above and most of other alternatives out there, is that color does not emanate from roots and after a week you are beginning to have visible growth of your gray hair. After two weeks it becomes visible to casual glance, making renewing your chosen colonization process necessary, renewing damage your are causing your hair. It is not natural and must continue to be used to keep your chosen color looking natural and keep your roots colored – none natural and all damaging, more or less, to your hair.

Depression is defined as “low spirits, gloominess, dejection and sadness.”Depression affects your whole body, physically and mentally. It affects way you eat, sleep, feel about yourself and your actions towards yourself and others. There are many types and degrees of depression, all with different symptoms. The symptoms include; chronic fatigue, sleep disturbance, change in appetite, backache, digestive disorder, restlessness, irritability, quick to anger, loss of interest or pleasure in your favorite pastimes, feelings of worthlessness and some people even think of death and consider suicide. The causes of depression are not fully understood but it can be triggered by tension, stress, trauma in your life, chemical imbalance, thyroid disorder, burn out, hypoglycemia, nutritional deficiencies, poor diet, high consumption of sugar, mononucleosis, endometriosis, allergies (especially food allergies), lack of exercise and negative thinking. Have you noticed that many of causes of depression are same as other lifestyle diseases? This information tells you that depression is curable. It also means that you have to change your lifestyle. You need to re-evaluate your life and make necessary changes. Be gentle with yourself; start slowly. My first suggestion is to visit www.herbs4health.net and print off free E-Book “9 Steps To A Healthy, Vibrant Body”. Pay close attention to Step One and Step Two. Find out condition of your body and this way you will know what health problems you are facing. Test your Thyroid, if you have hypothyroidism you can usually stimulate thyroid by taking a herbal remedy containing kelp. A body that is deficient of vitamins and minerals will feel very tired and sluggish. Start taking calcium/magnesium and a vitamin/mineral combination on a daily basis. The herb St. John's Wort has been very helpful in treating people who have suffered from depression. Be sure these products are liquid, plant extract. Liquid extracts will assimilate in your body in a few minutes. This way your body receives good nutrients and will no longer suffer from nutritional deficiencies. Examine your life style: Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating healthy foods? Are you living a fairly stress free life? Are you getting enough exercise? If you have answered 'no'... to any of these questions, that is O.K.. You know this now and you can start to make changes slowly. You did not get sick overnight, give your self time to heal your body. To start your get well program make one small change at a time, try giving up sugar or caffeine. You choose change but remember you need to start somewhere, just one small step at a time.
