The ancient Indian art and science of Yoga has become popular as a therapeutic modality and is used as such by many in the modern world today. This presentation introduces various practices from the Gitananda Yoga tradition that can help in correcting health problems related to the digestive system. Yoga helps to normalize all functions of our digestive system such as ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and excretion. Common problems of acidity, excess gas formation and psychosomatic condition such as the irritable bowel syndrome are corrected by a regular Yoga practice. It is important to have regular meals with green vegetable salads, fresh fruit juices and sprouts. Better to have less salt, spices and oily foods and have a fruit fast once in awhile. Maintain good hydration, avoid junk foods and try to eat mainly seasonal foods to ensue a healthy digestive system.
TANKS FOR FILTRATION EXPERIMENTS (1891-1892)
These tanks, inside the long narrow building of the Station, were used to conduct sewage treatment and water purification experiments. The tanks were filled with sands, gravels, and other soils from various locations in the state; the suitability of each material for water and sewage treatment was evaluated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Brilliant Research Plan is Conceived
The readers who forget that the Lawrence Experiment Station began its epic-making researches when the biological and chemical sciences were still in their formative stages may conclude that much of the early work wandered off into profitless blind alleys. Not only were the young men of the Mills' staff set to exploring every possible angle of their researches, but they were encouraged to demonstrate the uselessness of many preconceived notions old and new.
To demonstrate how small was the role of mechanical straining in the purification of sewage, they built and operated an elaborate series of filters of all degrees of porosity and proved that coarse sands could produce purification as well as the finest silts. To get the most complete information on the role of organic matter in the process of purification, they added to their filters all sorts and all amounts of organic matter (as witness, the body of the dog) and proved that sewage alone contained all the constituents required for a healthy growth of beneficent bacteria.
It is not to be wondered at that the Station staff explored so diligently some paths that proved to be blind alleys. These apparently fruitless journeys often ended in what must have been a new concept — chat definitely proved negative results have a highly important place in any research.
Related studies of the treatment of sewage before filtration included the addition of chemical coagulants and metal salts and various aeration processes. Some of these explorations are exactly like the partial treatment methods used to this day. They worked with "contact" filters which were simply fill-and-draw tanks containing assorted coarse filter materials; everyone then interested in sewage treatment research was similarly engaged. At the station it was concluded that nitrification could not possibly result from this type of pretreatment and that its value in general was limited.
Early in the 90's septic tanks were constructed to take advantage of the effects of putrefaction, and in 1895 staff concluded that septic tanks could be regarded only as a preliminary means of removing solids and could not result in a reduction of bacteria. It is interesting to note that at that time they warned against tanks affording unduly long storage — a mistake still being made very widely today. They early recognized the principle of seeding sewage with septic sewage and that method is still being utilized. Long before the symbol "pH" had been heard of, they corrected the sewage by adding acids or alkalis.
Thoroughly investigated was the use of specific cultures of the organisms effective in sewage purification. Though after only a year or two of work the staff had concluded that the organisms were naturally present in all sewage, they continued to investigate the possibilities of accelerating sewage digestion and the stabilization of sludge by artificially prepared cultures of bacteria.
Aeration of sewage was studied almost from the beginning; it was allowed to fall through the air, it was pumped against bundles of twigs or wooden or metal buffers; great quantities of air were blown into the bases of trickling filters; filters were operated with alternate upward and downward flow; filters were built with open walls. All of these ideas, which still come to the surface every now and then, were explored and dismissed because they offered no improvement over the type of filter which had been constructed.
Much later, in 1910, the use of aeration entered a new and different phase; air was applied to aquaria filled with sewage to see if fish could survive. "Green growth" formed in these tanks, and when the growths were permitted to remain it was found that fish survived without other aeration. So the fish were removed and the carbonaceous matter was oxidated, and nitrification completed. Sewage thus treated was applied to sand filters — later trickling filters, and it was found that now the filters performed at rates even greater than before.
The re-use of the sludge from the aerating process was further studied on a larger scale. The recognition of the importance of this returned sludge led to another blind alley, and the aerating tanks were provided with slate "contactors" to bring the new sewage into intimate contact with the sludge. Gradual removal of the slates showed that they were not at all necessary.
This aeration process, termed "oxidizing" for the time being, was still regarded as being only a means of pretreatment before filtration. This insistence on a final filter as well as on the "contactors," together with the failure to offer an attractive and descriptive name, contributed to the difference of opinion about the activated sludge process having originated in this work at Lawrence. (A British scientist, sometimes credited with the invention, commented: "It is only right to admit that the work was really due to a visit to the Experiment Station at Lawrence, Massachusetts, where I saw sewage which had been completely purified in 24 hours of 'aeration'.")
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system where cleansing of blood, and the detoxification of our bodies takes place. A huge network of lymphatic vessels recycles blood plasma by removing fluid from the tissues, filtering it, and carrying it back into the bloodstream.
These are 10 foods to add into your diet to boost the lymphatic system:
* Water
May not be a food item, but essential to life. Drink plenty of clean, purified water. Water keeps the lymph fluid hydrated and flowing smoothly.
* Cranberry
Cranberry is an amazing emulsifier of fat which means it helps break down excess fat for the lymphatic vessels to carry away.
* Leafy greens
That green nutrient has powerful cleansing properties and beneficial effects on the blood and thus on lymph fluid as well.
* Nuts and seeds
The essential healthy fats found in seeds like chia, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado, play a role in fighting inflammation. They also strengthen our inner organs walls.
* Adaptogenic herbs
Goldenseal, Echinacea, and Astragalus are three herbsthat help alleviate inflammation and congestion of the lymph nodes and vessels.
* Garlic
Garlic boosts immune function and combats harmful microbes. It improves circulation and aids in the cleansing of toxins. It boosts the function of your lymphatic system and contains antibacterial qualities.
* Ginger / Turmeric
Both have beneficial effects on digestion and circulation; two systems that are tied directly to the processes of the lymphatic system. Also they help reduce inflammation, thin blood and improve circulation.
* Seaweed
Sea vegetables help the body detox and eliminate excess fluid that can build up in tissues and slow the lymphatic system down.
* Citrus
Citrus fruits aid hydration, carry powerful antioxidants and enzymes, and help cleanse and protect the lymphatic system.

Studies indicate California could produce almost 300 billion cubic feet of renewable natural gas per year just from organic waste produced at facilities like this one in Perris, Calif. Instead of landfilling or burning that waste, California could use it to generate enough renewable electricity to power 2 to 3 million homes, or enough to replace 75 percent of all the diesel fuel used by motor vehicles in California.

Hiram Mills could, with reason, boast that he invested in brains not buildings. Modern-day technologies demand costly and elaborate equipment as well as scientifically-trained and highly skilled operators to use the complicated apparatus. Today Hiram Mills would be forced to admit that Massachusetts was investing wisely in both apparatus and men,
An entirely new venture of the new Station will be the laboratory for research in the hydraulics of plumbing. Engineers and plumbers will have the benefit of working with the newest -of safety fixtures and equipment which have been promised the State by the leading manufacturers of plumbing supplies. Plumbing associations will collaborate in carrying on the research and training programs,
The Lawrence Experiment Station research program will have the benefit of guidance by an advisory committee of some of the best equipped scientists of the country — who fortunately are residents of Massachusetts, thanks to its celebrated institutions of higher learning. The "going" programs, the plans for new work, and the evaluation of studies completed will all be scrutinized by the advisory committee.
The laboratory services which enabled the Division of Sanitary Engineering to carry out its functions in the protection of water supplies and streams formerly were scattered, of necessity, over several laboratories. Now all the services will be concentrated in the better equipped Experiment Station's service laboratories. Better, more complete, and more expeditious laboratory examinations may be anticipated.
Non stiamo per parlare del solito carbone vegetale o le compressine di finocchio ... ma di qualcosa di più completo !! che sgonfia e sfiamma !!
Formula da 100 ml € 12.50 / 100 compresse 13.50
La formula contiene ben 11 "Erbe Officinali" contrastano la fastidiosa sensazione di gonfiore e tensione alla pancia dopo i pasti e pure quella che si avverte lontano da essi come ci raccontano i nostri clienti “ mi sento gonfia/o pur non aver mangiato nulla ”
PROPRIETA' DELLE SINGOLE PIANTE PRESENTI NEL COMPOSTO:
Malva (Malva sylvestris)Una delle piante più comuni, particolarmente apprezzata per le sue qualità benefiche tradizionalmente riconosciute. È da sempre utilizzata per le proprietà emollienti e saggiamente impiegata nella tradizione erboristica come protettore degli epiteli dell'apparato digerente e respiratorio. L'associazione con le altre piante ne potenzia l'effetto lenitivo e digestivo, tale da ottenere un prodotto di straordinaria efficacia. È il risultato di una lunga esperienza maturata in campo che ha portato ad una formulazione in cui ogni pianta è stata attentamente scelta e dosata al fine di ottenere un piacevole effetto sgonfiante eliminando quei fastidiosi disturbi gastrointestinali.
Altea (Althaea officinalis L.)Malvacea tipica delle piante paludose, con foglie grandi verdi e fiori bianchi o rosei in giugno. Le sue radici color avorio, se tagliate grondano di mucillagine (fino al 35% in peso), una mucillagine calda, così come la definisce il Mattioli, è capace di esplicare un effetto lenitivo ed emolliente sulle mucose arrossate dello stomaco e intestino tale da alleviare quei fastidiosi disturbi post-prandiali come bruciori e gonfiori.
Melissa (Melissa officinalis L.) Ha un gradito odore fruttato di limone e geranio, viene coltivata per trarne il preziosissimo olio essenziale. L'acqua della distillazione è l'ingrediente base dell'Acqua Antiisterica dei Carmelitani, rimedio dei secoli passati per gli stati di agitazione. Le aldeidi aromatiche e l'acido rosmarinico sono le sostanze ritenute attive con azione distensiva e calmante importante nei disturbi a carico dell'apparato gastro intestinale.
Finocchio (Foeniculum vulgare L.) Ortaggio e spezia nota sin dall'antichità, il finocchio è un'ombrellifera bienne o perenne tipica di tutta l'area del mediterraneo. Delle varietà da seme (frutto) se ne conoscono tipi dolci annuali, coltivati in Iran, Turchia e Nord Africa e tipi amari o piccanti poliennali, coltivati nei Balcani e in Russia. La differenza sta nel rapporto tra l'anetolo (dolce) e il fencone. Si aggiunge a cibi e tisane per le proprietà carminative ossia capaci di eliminare i gas intestinali.
Coriandolo (Coriandrum sativum L.) Questa piccola ombrellifera annuale originaria del Medio Oriente, sembra sia stata diffusa in Europa dai Saraceni che la utilizzavano per condire il "cous cous". Si usano sia le foglie fresche, che i frutti essiccati dalla curiosa forma perfettamente sferica. È una spezia tipica della cucina araba e ispanica dove aggiunta ai cibi "riscaldanti" è reputata avere un'azione digestiva e carminativa.
Escolzia (Eschscholtzia californica Cham.) Nota come papavero della California, l'escolzia è una pianta erbacea le cui radici estratte dal suolo, sembrano sanguinare un succo denso di colore rosso. La linfa infatti è ricchissima di alcaloidi (protopina, chelidonina, etc.) responsabili delle azioni distensive e rilassanti anche a livello muscolare,tali da alleviare quelle tensioni che somatizzate, sono responsabili di disturbi addominali. L'escolzia agisce pertanto sulla componente psicosomatica associata a tali disturbi.
Carvi (Carum carvi L.) Il carvi o cumino dei prati è un'ombrellifera bienne spontanea nelle Alpi. Il frutto è allungato e costoluto e contiene piccoli accumuli di olio essenziale, responsabile dell'aroma. L'olio essenziale è ricco in carvone. In Nord Europa il carvi è una spezia tradizionale abbinata per le sue proprietà carminative a cibi invernali, come fagioli, cavoli e carne suina. Si associa alle altre piante carminative in modo da esaltare e potenziare le proprietà di eliminazione dei gonfiori intestinali.
Timo (Thymus vulgaris L.) Pianta semilegnosa perenne, la si rinviene spontanea nelle steppe del mediterraneo. Da sempre è una delle piante base coltivate nell'hortus simplicium, amato per la sua versatilità d'uso, da pianta da cucina fino a vero e proprio medicamento. Contiene oli essenziali ricchi in fenoli con azione batteriostatica e glicosidi flavonici. Per le sue proprietà antisettiche esplica un effetto disinfettante a livello intestinale tale da proteggerlo da fenomeni irritativi legati alla presenza di germi indesiderati.
Angelica (Angelica archangelica L.) Ombrellifera imponente, si rende visibile a luglio per le sue grandi ombrelle bianchissime e il fusto cavo alto fino a 2 m. È una pianta bienne del Nord Europa che vive vicino ai corsi d'acqua. Se ne usa il rizoma essiccato dal profumo aromatico e dolce, utilizzato in liquoreria. L'aroma è dato da un mix di cumarine e terpeni che rendono questa pianta ricca di funzioni fisiologiche particolarmente utili per alleviare quei fastidiosi disturbi a livello intestinale.
Mirtillo (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) Arbusto nano che cresce nelle zone a clima fresco umido di tutta Europa. Il frutto di colore blu di prussia è una bacca carnosa dal sapore dolciastro e leggermente astringente nella cui polpa troviamo una grande abbondanza di sostanze attive: tannini e antociani, responsabili a livello intestinale di ridurre fenomeni putrefattivi, attenuare tensioni e gonfiori e migliorare l' assorbimento dei nutrienti.

We are blessed with Fresh Figs for a few months of the summer and fall. They are very good for the digestion, if you don't eat too many.
According to this ad, Primo Beer helps you sleep!
The Honolulu Brewing & Malting Company started in 1897 or 1898 and offered Primo Lager for beer drinkers to enjoy in Hawaii. Currently, Pabst Brewing Company owns what is now known as Primo Brewing Company, and the beer is still packaged a brown bottle.
Drinking beer is probably not the healthiest habit. However, in the 1900s a lot of people thought beer was good for you. Primo Beer ads in Hawaii newspapers touted the health benefits of Primo Beer.
Read our historical feature article, "Primo Beer's Supposed Health Benefits," in the following link:
sites.google.com/a/hawaii.edu/ndnp-hawaii/Home/historical...
Ad text: "Steady aim depends upon steady nerves and brain, and you can't have them if your rest if fitful and broken.
"Good sleep is the result of perfect digestion. In fact, health itself is vitally dependent upon good digestion.
"Perfect digestion and sound, restful sleep are assured those who habitually use Primo Beer as a table beverage. It aids the digestion, soothes tired nerves, and acts as a general tonic.
I don't eat while I'm working. Digestion slows me down. It's part of the reason why I've never written anything longer than a short story. The lengthiest thing I ever wrote took me all the hours from dawn to dusk, and I was pretty hungry by the end of it.
Perhaps that's a necessity of creating. Hunger, I mean. It really helps to keep the eye moving, brain buzzing, imagination imagining. If you need a reward at the end of it all, a meal will do nicely.
I find it hard to do anything on a full stomach. Any physical activity, passionate or pleasurable, heavy work or light sleep, is weighed down by food and water. I prefer to give up completely after eating. I know that there's unlikely to be any coming back. I love food, but I try not to confuse it with life.
There's always been a difference for me between living and a reason for living. At my most alive, I think little of living. At my most depressed, I think of little else. It gets easy to eat and sleep, do chores, run errands, surrender to life. When my mind is awake, when my heart is pounding, all menial things fall by the wayside. As if some shapeless muse comes up to enrapture me, I lose sight of all responsibility.
So I don't eat while I'm working, when I'm writing, too soon before expressions of passion. I want all my energy for the feeling I'm feeling, so that my soul won't let my body get in the way. In this way, I justify being.

As we become more seasoned, our digestion plunges and increasingly fat starts to aggregate around our waistline, giving us that 'extra tire'! Be that as it may, disposing of midsection fat isn't just about appearances. Studies state that individuals with an enormous waist are 2.75 occasions bound to pass on of coronary illness, regardless of whether they are inside a sound weight territory. The fat put away in your tummy locale is more hazardous than the fat put away in the remainder of your body. It builds awful LDL cholesterol, disturbs your glucose, expands your circulatory strain and your danger of having a cardiovascular failure. So, having that extra tire is more hazardous than just being overweight!
