Easy remedies for treating stretch marks



Stretch marks are the bane of many women’s existence. They would spend a whole lot to get rid of those terrible marks. Many creams are out there that claim to be able to work wonders but it actually your dermis that tears as a result of stretching and then a layer at the bottom comes up to cover the lesion (this explains why the color of the mark is brighter). Therefore, I seriously doubt the potency of such creams. Getting a cosmetic procedure like laser therapy will be expensive so I will strongly advise that you try out the remedies listed here.
Aloe Vera

It is effective in treating all manner of skin problems. You may directly apply the gel on the affected area and leave for 15 minutes after which you rinse it off with lukewarm water.
Water

Being hydrated will protect the skin against dryness and ease the effects of your skin stretching. It also helps in restoring elasticity.
Olive oil

It is heavily saturated with a lot of healing properties.  Ensure that you use virgin olive oil. Massage it on the affected area and leave for at least half an hour. You may also rub it overnight for best results.
Castor oil

Massage into the area in gentle motions. Repeat this for at least a month for best results.
Lemon juice

The natural acidity found in this allows the marks to lessen considerably. Squeeze some fresh lemons and rub the juice on the area(s). You may couple it with cucumber juice in equal quantities. It is just as effective.
Potato juice

They contain the components to foster growth and restoration of cells. Slice a potato and rub on the affected area. Allow the juice to dry on your skin and then wash after 10 minutes with lukewarm water. Note that all these remedies don’t completely make the stretch marks disappear.

Ibi Ugwu (Male Circumcision) In Igbo Land

The act of circumcising babies in Igbo land is an ancient culture and tradition of the Igbo people which has its origin from their traditional religions. “Circumcision is the act of removing female genitalia, or a simple fold of skin (foreskin and prepuce) that covers the head of an un-erect penis”. In ancient times, the Igbos circumcise both male and female children, but as modernization set in, the circumcision or genital mutilation of Igbo female children was stopped while that of male continued till today. The circumcision of male babies (Ibi Ugwu) in Igbo land is done on the 8th day after birth. This is done by experts in the act, like midwives and native doctors (in modern day, physicians carry out this operation). During circumcision, the fore skin that covers the head of the penis is cut off and the operated part is treated to heal quickly and to prevent any form of infection. Male circumcision (Ibi Ugwu) takes five to seven day to heal up. Meanwhile, some Igbos circumcis...

John XII: The Pope who turned the Vatican to a Whorehouse

Octavianus was only 18 years old when he ascended the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and became Pope John XII on December 16, 955. He was the only son of Duke Alberic II (932–954) of Spoleto, then ruler of Rome. Alberic, before his death in 954, made Roman nobles swear at St. Peter's altar that they would make his son, Octavianus, pope at the first vacancy. Since the leaders loved the dying father, they kept their word to him and elected Octavianus as the 130th Roman Catholic Pope succeeding Pope Agapetus II after the pope’s death on November 8, 955. Octavianus adopted the apostolic name of John XII. He was the third pontiff to take a regnal name upon elevation to the papal chair; the first being Pope John II (533–535), whose birth name was Mercurius and the second, Pope John III (561–574), whose birth name was Catelinus. Right from the start, in relation to secular issues, the new pope issued his directives under the name of Octavianus, while in all matters relating t...
