What is secondhand smoke?
Secondhand smoke is also known as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) or passive smoke. It is a mixture of 2 forms of smoke that come from burning tobacco: sidestream smoke (smoke that comes from the end of a lighted cigarette, pipe, or cigar) and mainstream smoke (smoke that is exhaled by a smoker).
When non-smokers are exposed to secondhand smoke it is called involuntary smoking or passive smoking. Non-smokers who breathe in secondhand smoke take in nicotine and other toxic chemicals just like smokers do. The more secondhand smoke you are exposed to, the higher the level of these harmful chemicals in your body.
Why is secondhand smoke a problem?
Secondhand smoke causes cancer
Secondhand smoke is classified as a “known human carcinogen” (cancer-causing agent) by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the US National Toxicology Program, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the World Health Organization.
Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemical compounds. More than 60 of these are known or suspected to cause cancer. Read the rest of this entry »

“Where Health & Wellness Has Been Redefined.”
Everyone has a dream. Not everyone gets out and makes their dream come true. But entrepreneurs do. The kid selling lemonade by the sidewalk is an entrepreneur. So were the founders of the nation’s major industries. In between the lemonade stand and the executive board room there are thousands of people who get ideas and try to work their idea into a successful business.
Dr. Ali A.B.Y Muhammed,DD is an entrepreneur in the classic sense of the word. He began selling various products after school in New York City, things that he could get a deal on and make a little on resale down by Fulton Fish Market and 42nd Street. He was a fast-talking underage
street vendor, without a vendors permit. But he had an idea. “I wanted to cut out the middleman,” he said, “by making my own products.” And the one thing that sold well and could be manufactured easily were health and wellness products.

Dry skin care can be a problem if you have eczema. Dry skin is prone to itching. For those with eczema, scratching only makes it worse. But there are some things you can do to help dry skin and itching.
Bathing:
Bathing moisturizes, yet also dries the skin. Bathing really moisturizes your skin, however, once you dry your skin off, the little bit of water that is left on your skin starts to evaporate. Your skin then can become too dry and crack.
Skin is a dynamic system whose condition and properties depend on temperature, hydration, environment and other factors. Therefore, the skin’s ability to absorb topically chemicals can vary greatly. Here is what you can do to ensure optimal penetration of active ingredients:
See our Overstanding Herbal Extracts & Infusions post.
Cleanse your skin before applying skin care products particularly if you have applied anything to your skin since your last skin cleansing or washing. The best time to apply skin care products is after you are fresh out of a warm shower or bath because not only is your skin clean but it is also thoroughly moist and should better absorb whatever you apply to it.
