Make Thinning Hair Grow with Rosemary - External
Rosemary, the savory herb that's a staple in every kitchen, has actually been proven to stimulate hair follicles so hair grows longer, stronger and thicker over time. Bonus: Just massaging this oil into your scalp increases blood circulation to hair follicles, making the roots stronger and leading to less hair loss.
Make your own rosemary scalp oil!
1. Remove the leaves from 4-6 sprigs of rosemary. Discard the stems and set the leaves aside.
2. Use a double boiler or fill a small pan halfway with water; place on the stovetop on medium heat and set a heat-safe bowl on top of the pan --not touching the water.
3. Add 1 cup olive oil and rosemary leaves into the bowl; continually stir while the oil is heating; stop when the oil is warm.
4. Strain the leaves out; let cool.
5. Massage the oil into your scalp and work through your hair.
6. Leave the oil on your hair and scalp for at least 15 minutes, then shampoo and condition as usual.

Hasten the End of a Cold - By Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D.
You can try to hasten the end of a cold with the measures below, all of which are aimed at helping your immune system fight off the bug that is causing the symptoms:
- Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceous): This is one of my favorite immune-boosting tonics. It is the root of a plant in the pea family long used in China to prevent illness and strengthen sick people. You can get slices of dried astragalus root at Chinese groceries and some health-food stores. Simmer the slices in tea or soups (they'll add a pleasant sweet taste). Or buy extracts of astragalus in liquid, capsule or tablet form. Follow the dosing directions on the package. This herb is nontoxic and can be used long-term to increase resistance.
- Andrographis (Andrographis paniculata): This is a much less well-known herb that is available in tablet form under the brand name Kan Jang, and looks promising as an effective cold remedy and immune booster. Take two tablets three times a day.
- Get adequate rest: Make sure you get at least seven to nine hours of sleep a night, depending on the amount your body requires. If you're not sleeping well, your immune system produces fewer of the natural-killer cells needed to destroy cells that are infected with the cold virus.
- Eat well: Make sure you're getting foods that give you plenty of immune-boosting antioxidant vitamins and minerals - fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. And don't forget that garlic, onions, and ginger are especially good. Try ginger root tea to bust a lingering cold.
- Take immune-boosting mushrooms to enhance your resistance: I recommend to easy-to-take mushroom products, Stamets 7 Mushroom Blend from Fungi Perfecti (www.fungi.com), a liquid extract of seven different species and Host Defense from New Chapter (www.new-chapter.com), a similar mixture in capsule form. Take the amounts suggested on the product labels.
Andrew Weil, M.D.
