"we age every day--what a depressing thought!". Aging can't be stopped but its effects can definitely be minimized. Most apparent symptom of aging i.e. wrinkles on the face can be eliminated with little alteration in life style and balanced diet. Naturally prepared medicines are very useful if taken along with. Let me make it clear to readers, I am not a medical practitioner, not a dietitian, neither nutritionist nor a beauty care expert. I love to experiment different things. Sometimes you get miraculous results by error and trial. I also got such results while experimenting with medicines and food materials.

If you have read my other hubs you may get an idea that I have a love for plant materials and alternate medicines. I am telling you all this to let you understand the whole thing that I am going to reveal in next paragraphs.

I got myself in a helpless situation when a very close relative had some peculiar problems with health. I studied several books on medicines and I succeeded in getting good results with my efforts and this love for alternate medicines blossomed.

There are several products available in the market for removing wrinkles. One of my uncle had deep wrinkles on his face and he used almost every product, available in the market in different names. I started experimenting on him as he had all faith in my abilities and to my utmost surprise all wrinkles from his face vanished within a month.

After reading all this you may be thinking that I am going to tell you about some formula and will ask you to contact me and I'll demand money for it. It’s not so. It was just an accidental discovery and I'll share with you all. But I'll request you to experiment it after knowing all the pros and cons, effects and side-effects of the in-gradients of the prescription. You must consult physicians and specialists about the benefits as well as harmful effects of in-gradients found in the composition of formula I will disclose in this webpage. There is no new ingredient in my prescription. I am sure health research institutes and MNC's will make efforts to draw benefits from it and who knows one day they come up with a product that is available as a facial cream, a pill or a liquid tonic. So let me disclose the in-gradients of my prescription but please report the results here in comments box if you observe improvement in your health and facial beauty. But I warn you again, I don't take any responsibilities if you misuse my prescription or use it without any consultations from expert. So its your sole responsibility. One thing I would like to clarify that my prescription includes three components. 1. Tree nut consumption, 2. A homeopathic medicine with a very low potency, and 3. No smoking or relatively less smoking. I'll discuss the characteristics of both so that you know all about its good or bad effects and take care in their use.

Prescription composition

1. Cashew nuts:

First I'll tell you about the cashew nuts. I prescribed my uncle to consume about 5 cashew kernels in the morning after breakfast and 5 cashew nuts in the evening. Ten cashew nuts provide about 100 calories. Cashew nuts are rich in protein, mineral salt, vitamins, iron and fiber. It is a source of minerals like Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Potassium, Sodium, Iron and other minerals, which helps prevent anemic and nervous ailments. It may be seen that the ratio of Saturated: Monounsaturated: Polyunsaturated is 1:2:1. This is Ideal for human consumption. The fatty acid profile of fatty acid in cashews is conducive to the promotion of good health and that the relative abundance of fat in Cashew nut in no way poses a nutritional risk. Research findings have shown that cashew nuts have a fatty acid profile that contributes to good health through phytosterols, tocopherols, and sqaulene, all of which lower the risk of heart disease. With no cholesterol, cashew nuts are a healthy fat food for heart patients. Cashew nuts contain magnesium which protects against high blood pressure, muscle spasms, migraine headaches, tension, soreness and fatigue and a high copper content that helps the body utilize iron, eliminate free radicals, develop bone and connective tissue, and produce the skin and hair pigment melanin.

2. No smoking or less smoking: Smoking and use of alcohol result in great loss of Vitamin B. If you reduce consumption of cigarettes, you will observe positive changes in your health. It may be difficult for an addict to get complete rid of smoking but if you make the number to half, you will feel a change in your looks.

3. A homeopathic medicine: I studied the characteristics of homeopathic medicines and on the basis of it I selected "Ambra Grisea", a homeopathic medicine. It is prescribed for a pale face. In one of the book, it was mentioned that if you look older than your actual age, you should use this medicine. Here, I would like to mention that a single homeopathic medicine is used as a remedy for numerous symptoms. I am not an expert but I gave this medicine to my uncle and used "30" potency. The drug was used once a day. Dose was "4 globules" .

This combination of Cashew nuts (10 nuts/day in two splits), ambra grisea 30, a dose per day and smoking at half rate (He used to smoke 10 cigarettes per day but made it 5 /day).

I don't believe in showing photographs like before and after the treatment. However, integration of three components helped my uncle enormously and he was very happy with this experimentation. Though after few months, he again started smoking in full swing and did not care for the medicine and cashews as a result of it he again developed wrinkles on his face.

Conclusions: It was difficult to ascertain from the experimentation whether cashew nuts were more effective or the homeopathic medicine since test unit was very small (One person) and different treatments were not assigned in isolation. It needs resources and a systematic study to draw conclusion. I am publishing it in the hope that a research team takes up it for a full fledged study. Less smoking also could be partly responsible for the improvement. In my opinion it was synergistic effect of both medicine as well nutritional effect of cashews. Less smoking may have helped in reducing loss of vitamins and cashews may have compensated for whatever loss of smoking caused.

Disclaimer: I'll be responsible if you reduce your frequency of smoking and if there are any health benefits of it but I won't be responsible if you use other two components of prescription without proper advice of your physician or homeopath, I can't be held responsible of any damage to your health. You will be using it on your own risk though cashew nuts are not harmful in anyway if consumed in proper dose and the medicine doesn't have any harmful side effect. Take care.
