Thu, Feb 21, 2019

Why do people have two ears? Basically, it is to widen the scope of your hearing so you can find out where sounds are coming from, and from what distance. In reality it is not your ears that do the listening, but your brain. And to interpret sounds correctly, the information it receives must be as accurate and as detailed as possible.

Droserin cream health benefits

Thu, Feb 07, 2019

Breathing problems and respiratory conditions are notoriously hard to treat but a solution could lie in something as simple as an organic herbal cream, or droserin cream, to be specific. Made from natural ingredients, including thermal water from the Podhajska hot spring, its most important components are Rosa centifolia and the bio-information of Drosera rotundifoli — both have excellent effects on the lungs and skin.

The herbal cream is suitable for helping the energy channels when suffering from asthma, influenza, tonsillitis, cold, sinusitis, cough, heart pain, varicose ulcers, IBS, or constipation. It proves its worth also with recurrent chest infections, bronchitis, and pain in the cervical and middle spine. One of thee droserin components (approximately 50 per cent of volume) is strongly energised water from the Podhajska hot springs. It is tertiary sea water that has beneficial effects on the lungs. Owing to the unique mineral composition its regenerative effect is longer lasting and more profound than the effect of the Dead Sea water. Thanks to this water Droserin contains a high volume of potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, sulphur, phosphorus, silicone, boron, lithium, zinc, manganese, and herbs that have a positive effect on the body. The application is speeded up by vitamin E and apple vinegar contained in the cream.
