A major problem for students from schools to universities the inability to concentrate and retain information in memory. Below are some ways to combat this problem.

Find a good place to study. This doesn't have to be the library. Find a place that suits your needs.

Set up a time limit in order to help you define your studying. Studying without a limit may become overwhelming.

Read with a pencil in hand. This is not only for note-taking, but also for marking the margin whenever your mind wanders. This makes you more aware of when your mind is wandering, and this, gives you more control.

Save money on medicine/pills; just use Home Remedies for Common Ailments

Why spend money Just use simple Home Remedies

Home Remedies can be effective in treating most ailments ranging from minor pains to infections. Expensive antibiotics are widely used today, even for conditions that can usually be cured with natural remedies. These antibiotics are usually effective by killing the offending bacteria.  Unfortunately, they also kill friendly or beneficial flora and fauna, causing the body to take longer to recover than otherwise necessary had the antibiotics not been used. Natural remedies are usually effective for treating minor infections, and at the same time, strengthen the body’s immune system to better fend of other ailments, such as hair loss, acne breakouts, dandruff, and promote healing and mending of aches, pains, wounds and burns.
