Chamomile helps and so does PetEz that I found at PetSmart. The PetEz has Chamomile in it as one of the main ingredients-works great for my seperation anxiety suffering pit mix.

I don't know anything about flowers, but I know you can get cat pheromone sprays and plug-ins. It is supposed to calm them down.

Are Ginger Snapps from the health food store good for you

Are Ginger Snapps from the health food store good for you?
Since they're not like real cookies.

Ginger Snaps are cookies made with ginger. I make them, eat them and enjoy them. It's the ginger that's good for you. For over two thousand years Chinese Medicine has recommended ginger to treat a number of health problems including abdominal bloating, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, and rheumatism. Ginger is also used in the Ayurvedic and Tibetan systems of medicine for the treatment of inflammatory joint diseases such as arthritis, rheumatism and a variety of other conditions. Ginger Snaps * 2 3/4 cups self-rising flour * 1 teaspoon baking soda * 1 teaspoon cinnamon * 1 teaspoon ginger * 1/4 teaspoon cloves * 1 cup brown sugar, packed * 3/4 cup margarine or butter, softened * 1 egg * 1/4 cup light molasses PREPARATION: Combine flour, soda, and spices in a bowl and set aside. Cream sugar and margarine. Beat in egg and molasses until light and fluffy. Stir in flour mixture just until blended. Chill for 2 hours or more. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar, and place on lightly greased baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake about 8 to 10 minutes, until set. Makes 8 dozen cookies.

Why do you think ginger snaps from the health food store are any less cookies than any you would get somewhere else? I would guess(all I can do without the label) the cookies would have less preservatives and artificial ingredients. If that is the case they would be cookies just better for you

What is a good health food store or chain that carries alternatives to food because

What is a good health food store or chain that carries alternatives to food because?
Because my Doctor is trying to figure out what I'm allergic to so I am on an elimination diet where I can't eat wheat, soy, rice, eggs, sesame, corn, or tomatoes. So I'm sick of eating the same thing and I'm ready to pay for expensive foods that I can eat. hahaha

Can I plant the edible hemp seeds sold at health food stores

Can I plant the edible hemp seeds sold at health food stores?
I love to eat hemp seeds, they are so nutritious! However, they are quite pricey so I was wondering if they would sprout if I plant the seeds? Also, is this illegal?

They will not sprout as they are sterile. The seeds can't be sold publicly if they are still viable. If they did sprout it would be illegal (without a licence) because they would grow into marijuana plants, even though the THC potency is very low. Hemp is a low THC-high fibre version of marijuana grown for it's fibre, oil and seed. The law makes no distinction between low THC fibre plants and high THC smoking plants in regard to drug laws.
2 :
Unfortunately, it is illegal to grow this beneficial, multi-functional plant

Poll: What would you be willing to buy at a health food store

Poll: What would you be willing to buy at a health food store?
Like food wise, what would appeal most to you. I'm placing orders for our store and I need some ideas that would sell really well. Any input would be great.

Halva for sure.

Mmm. My family and I LOVE Spinach Dip. This is something I would suggest to put as a sample, because most people immediately think 'Gross, SPINACH?!?!' But, if they were to taste it, they would like it. Maybe put it out with some whole grain soft bread. Or pita bread.
3 :
Meat replacements of many sorts. Premade vegan/vegetarian food. Vegan chocolate bars, gum, snacks. Maybe even some cruelty free bath items and such. As a vegan, I usually find that premade stuff is hardest to find, as well as chocolate (If you get that snack craving.. hehe) Also, very rarely, it is nice to have something precooked that you can just put in the microwave, like lasagna, pizza, things like that. Or dried soup that you can just boil up. (I am assuming you are looking for veggie food ideas)
4 :
Organic produce. It always kills me that my health food store maybe has like three sorts of vegetables and nothing else. I mean sure, there's the Farmer's Market, but selection there is very limited as well.
5 :
Nutritional yeast, vegan omega vitamins, vegan baked goods, fake meat, vegetarian/vegan packages meals and mixes i.e falafel mix, cake mix.
6 :
- Organic produce - Cruelty-free bath products, detergents, cleaning supplies, etc. - Organic dog treats, etc. - Pre made vegetarian and vegan meals - Juice/smoothie bar (with wheatgrass shots) - Gluten free section - Raw foods - Quinoa - Carob/chocolate bars - Glee gum (vegetarian, made without gelatin)
7 :
organic everything i guess i eat really healthy anyway but i buy everything from normal supermarkets i never think of going to a health food store but i guess the best organic stuff would be there right so that's what i'd buy

Is the yellow of an egg bad for you? An the white? if so please explain.
Diet & Fitness - 4 Answers

1 :
Eggs in general are high in protein, but the yellow of the egg is where all of the cholesterol and fat is. The yellow is also where the bulk of the calories reside. If you just eat the egg white, you get the protien benefits w/o the negative calories, fat and cholesterol.
2 :
I suggest you boil the eggs and eat all the white stuff because it is good for you and dump all the bad stuff because it is bad for you.

3 :
You can't say that it is bad, both are healthy and full of proten, but the Chicken Egg yolk contains: 55 calories & the white contains: 17 Calories
4 :
both Birds exploited for their eggs, called â€œlaying hensâ€ by the industry, are crammed together in wire cages where they donâ€™t even have enough room to spread a single wing. The cages are stacked on top of each other, and the excrement from chickens in the higher cages constantly falls on those below. Their sensitive beaks are cut off so that they donâ€™t peck each other out of the frustration created by the unnatural confinement, and farmers often deprive birds of food for as long as 14 days in order to shock their bodies into producing more eggs (the practice is called forced-molting). 5 After their bodies are exhausted and their production drops, they are shipped to slaughter, generally to be turned into chicken soup or cat or dog food because their flesh is too bruised and battered to be used for much else. Because the male chicks of egg-laying breeder hens are unable to lay eggs and are not bred to produce excessive flesh for the meat industry, they are killed. Every year, more than 100 million of these young birds are ground up alive or tossed into bags to suffocate. http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming_chickens.asp consumption of meat, eggs, and dairy products has also been strongly linked to osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, asthma, and male impotence. Non-organic meats, eggs and dairy usually refer to the fact that the animals may have given fed antibiotics, hormones, ground up remains of other animals, and other dangerous substances that often end up in these foods fed to humans. The growing use of chemicals is a disaster for the health of the animals (other than fatting up the animal quickly for the slaughter). Regular ingestion of traces of these chemicals is a health disaster waiting to happen. For example, regular, long-term ingestion of non-organic dairy from cows injected with Monsanto's genetically-engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH) has recently been shown to be a high risk for prostrate and breast cancers. http://www.holisticmed.com/toxic/pesticides.htm
