I already mentioned some of the myths regarding health, such as the chicken soup for curing the cold, the hot and cold foods in the Chinese cosine, and so on.


Some of those claims were simply myths, as they did not work in the way people thought they do. However, the techniques and practices which I am going to present you are working, and they are beneficial for the human health.

Tongue Scraping

The mouth might seem pretty clean, but it is filled with bacteria. Brushing your teeth will not be enough in order to get rid of them. The proper thing to do in order to take care of the problem would be to scrape the tongue as well. It seems that this practice is common in numerous countries, especially in India. The tongue scrapers can be bought from the pharmacies, and they can have various shapes. The problem is that it can be quite difficult to scrape the tongue, because of the gag reflex. The practice is quite painful and quite smelly as well. However, numerous studies have revealed the fact that this is one of the best ways of getting rid of bad breath.

On top of that, having a clean mouth can prevent you from developing certain illnesses such as diabetes, heart related-problems, and so on. The Indians have another way which they claim to be very useful for the health: drinking cow urine. Try that at your own risk.

Vibrating Platform

I am certain that you have seen lots of infomercials about various vibrating platforms or gadgets which you attach to your body, and which help you lose weight. They have been considered to be scams for a very long time, but now in the more recent period of time, people started to realize that they are actually effective. People need to sit on these vibrating platforms prior to doing their exercises and it seems that the exercises become more efficient. One can put on muscle, lose weight, and see other benefits much faster than they would if they would not sit on the platform. It seems that these platforms really do have these benefits, as they are able to help you achieve your goal faster. The interesting thing is that it is unknown why.

It seems that they are very useful when it comes to regeneration as well. The ones who have suffered from muscle injuries ca benefit from these machines as well, as the muscles heal faster thanks to them. They can also help with the bone density which means that they are very beneficial for the people with osteoporosis as well. The problem is that the proper way of using these machines is unknown. The length, the intensity, and the strength of the vibrations are unknown, and until someone will figure this out, people will have to resort to test and trial. These machines are beneficial, but they are expensive. One of them costs $2,000, which means that not everyone can afford them.
