During climatic conditions that make you sweat a lot, these fabrics efficiently absorb all the sweat, thus keeping your skin dry. Because your skin is not soaked in sweat, it does not become a breeding ground of germs that are atypical of sweat.
The silk comforter sets also do not damp by sweat and are comparatively cleaner than the sheets made from other substances. This further leads you to avoid certain health problems that sweat-soaked bed sheets might have otherwise caused.
Bamboo has its own benefits. We are well aware that the bed sheets at our homes can be prone to germs, which apparently waste not a lot of time in being transmitted to us. Bamboo helps us by protecting us against those germs.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes! This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead ! I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such! Side-effects due to application of a pain balm was something I've never come across all these years!

But why did it give me rashes now, when I had used it...
