Health care system of Portugal at its current stage of development is under the control of the Sanitary National System (SNS) comprised of five sectors: the network of state hospitals, regional health services, private medical centres, the National Institute for Medical emergencies, and the network of state-licensed private drugstores.
Portuguese medicine avails of cutting-edge medical technologies, treatment and checkup methods. Doctors regularly update their professional skills in the Netherlands, Belgium, England, Sweden, and the USA. Doctors and medical personnel of most Portuguese clinics located in major cities (Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Amadora, Braga, Setúbal) speak English, Portuguese, French, German, Swedish, Russian, and Ukrainian languages. Overseas patients receive guaranteed individual approach in treatment as well as care and attention on the part of medical personnel.
Private medical centres complement the state health care service and are extremely popular today among foreign citizens, especially from Germany and the UK. Dental services are the most consumer-demanded medical field in Portugal and are provided value for money. Aesthetic dentistry, implantology, tooth whitening, prosthetics are the most popular dental services. Treatment procedures may last from several hours to several days, with applying advanced technologies (controlled 3-D ultrasonic micro-vibrations, invisible brace systems, 3D-systems). Treatment can be excellently combined with resort recreation and recovery at the Atlantic coast.
Recommended time for treatment: March to July, September to November.
Cozido à portuguesa (rich stew made from beef, pork or chicken served with cabbage, carrots, turnips, Portuguese smoked sausages, rice, and potatoes), Caldeirada (typical Portuguese stew consisting of a large variety of sea products with potatoes, tomato and onion), Feijoada (stew of beans with beef and pork), arroz doce (dish made from rice mixed with water or milk and sometimes other ingredients).
Alfama (a village inside Lisbon with whitewashed homes, tiny squares, interesting churches, and wrought iron balconies strung with flower pots and drying laundry), Torre de Belem in Lisbon (attractive and unique monument and the tower's distinct shape is sharply defined by the water; it was built as an integral aspect of a defensive system at the mouth of the river Tagus), Sintra (UNESCO World Heritage Site, favourite summer resort for nobility and the wealthy for several centuries with the Moorish Castle dating back to the 8th century and the fairytale castle Palacio Nacional da Pena).
Gulbenkian Museum (incredible private collection of the European multi-millionaire consisting of ancient paintings, Middle Eastern art, and Egyptian sculptures), Museu Nacional do Azulejo (houses a wonderful collection of decorative tiles both from Portugal and abroad that date back to the 15th century), Carnaval (5-day celebration in February with colorful costumes, traditional dances and boisterous marches), Meia Praia (picturesque beaches offering recreational sporting opportunities, which include paragliding, beach volleyball, sailing as well as beachfront bars), the Island of Madeira (volcanic island with its dramatic peaks, magnificent cliffs, and a wide variety of orchids).

Wildlife Adventures in Central and South America
ByDon Forster
Read Time3 mins
Home / Latin America & Antarctica / Wildlife Adventures in Central…
We at Goway Central & South America have an ongoing fun rivalry with our Goway Africa colleagues. Obviously both are great regions to visit (*cough* Central & South America *cough*) and deserve every traveller's attention. But while Africa may have a leg up when it comes to the Big 5 (rhino, elephant, lion, leopard, and buffalo), the Central & South America wildlife is equally amazing, with species that can't been seen anywhere else on earth.
Keel-billed toucan in the Belize rainforest.
Our journey through South America wildlife starts with over 4000 species of birds! In the Amazon rainforest and the lush forests of Central America, there are enough species here to keep any 'twitcher' satisfied for a lifetime. An awesome variety of feathered friends can be seen from the forests of Belize to the tip of Patagonia, thriving amid some of the most spectacular scenery on Earth. Brazil in particular stands out here. Rich with endemic species, the southeast Atlantic forests are a short jump from Rio, while a birding Eden lies in the heart of the little visited Pantanal.
Capybara family during sunset, Pantanal, Brazil.
The Pantanal, an extensive wetland region similar the Okavango Delta in Botswana (yes, the rivalry is real) is also the best place to see wild jaguars. Trek along the trails, go horseback riding, or canoe along the waters to spot kingfishers, macaws, and caiman, all the while searching for the world's third largest feline. It's an adventure within the adventure, and there's a good chance you might spot this elusive cat in the midst of a kill, paralyzing its prey with a bite to the skull. It's all part of nature.
Three-toed sloth in the Amazon jungle.
Of course, the region abounds in 'creepy crawlies' such as snakes, spiders, and ants, but don't let this put you off. These creatures play a valuable role in any environment, and Central & South America has some of the most fascinating and beautiful. Learning about the delicate balance that has evolved between all these species, and the balance that locals have found with them over centuries is one of the most satisfying parts of any wildlife trip.
A vicuna, cousin to the llama.
Of course, it's not all tropical! South America is home to llamas, alpaca, vicuna, and guanaco. One could almost think of them as miniature giraffes, as they are all members of the even-toed Ungulate family. These herd animals thrive in the Andes from Ecuador all the way to the bottom of Chile and Argentina, with vicuna wool being considered the best (most expensive) wool anywhere in the world.
Rhea in Patagonia.
Patagonia is home to mountain lions, also known as puma, cougar, and catamount. There are capybara, giant anteaters, frogs, armadillos, rhea (like a shrunken ostrich or emu), and Patagonian hares. Meanwhile, sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, macaws, and chirping, colourful frogs are fixtures of the warmer forests. The howler monkeys in the early morning sound more like prehistoric dinosaurs than any primate!
The list of wildlife is as vast as the regions themselves. Ecuador, one of South America's smallest countries has over 300 species of mammal alone, including the rare Andean spectacled bear. For an even more concentrated offering, Costa Rica is home to more than 500,000 species, nearly 5% of the total species estimated worldwide.
Then, there's a little place called the Galapagos Islands. Home to endemic species and considered a modern Garden of Eden, nowhere else in the world is like the Galapagos… not even in Africa.
Just saying.
Land iguanas in the Galapsgos Islands.

Supplementing is by far the mist confusing thing.
Flukers calcium hosphorus 2:1 is regular calcium without D3?
I'm so confused by all of the contradicting things I've read. The breeder I got my Cham from said to dust insects with calcium with d3 3 times a week and the vitamin once a week. While on here I've seen calcium 3 times a week while alternating weeks with calcium with d3 and the multivitamin. I just want my 3 month old male veiled to be healthy. I have a reptisun 5.0 light along with a heat lamp and a 5000k led light for plants. Any advice would be so helpful. I can even tell you the brand names of the calcium with/without d3 and multivitamins I have in the morning if it would help! Thanks!!
Did you read the original couple of posts in this thread?
crikey this is confusing. I have Vet Ark CalciDust (without D3) which I was told by the vet to use twice a week, and she also said dust with what I was using vitamin wise, which was vetArk ArkVits (with D3) on the other days. However someone on a forum told me that vet ark ark vits was no good, that I should switch to Sticky Tongue Miner-All 5 days and calcium 2 days. So I've sent off for the sticky tongue stuff. I'm in UK so my adult male panther chameleon is indoors. I have an arcadia slim luminaire D3 UVB light. Further complicated by his getting real picky recently with his food, refusing crickets and locusts in the last couple of months, has never touched meal worms or wax worms. He is very happy with morio (super) worms. And will happily munch on fruit beetle larva and the occasional silk worm. So though the vet said vitamins with D3 4 days a week and calcium without D3 twice a week, I'm overdoing the vitamins? Other than being real picky over feeders recently, he seems happy and active and poo'ing well. What is the better vitamin supplement, Vet Ark ArkVits, or Sticky Tongue Miner-All, which has calcium in it anyway? Also any advice on getting him back to eating crickets and locusts?
Every feed? As long as my light is good and I use the supplements sparingly making sure to gutload well it's that easy? I hate to admit I was following the directions on the repashy w d3 and it said every feed. I stopped that pretty quick after I read on about oversupplementing. It's just so easy to get it wrong not knowing about the exact science. So thank you again!
This is my Guy from Kammerflage he hates the mister but he got a good bath all the same. He thanks you too for the info!

NM reaches $32M settlement for 2015 Gold King Mine spill that turned the Animas River yellow
Navajo Nation also reaches its own settlement for $31 million, President Nez announces
By: Patrick Lohmann - June 16, 2022 11:14 am

State officials on Thursday gathered in Farmington to announce a $32 million settlement with the federal government after its contractors caused nearly 1 million pounds of heavy metals to flood into the watershed serving parts of New Mexico and the Navajo Nation seven years ago.
On Aug. 5, 2015, contractors for the Environmental Protection Agency were monitoring seepage in the abandoned Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado. They excavated an area above a mine opening, and the bedrock collapsed, releasing 3 millions gallons of waste into a tributary of the Animas River.
The water, tainted by tailings from gold mining that ended in the 1990s, flooded the Animas River watershed and turned its waters bright yellow. The tailings contained heavy metals like cadmium and lead, plus other toxic elements like arsenic, iron and copper.
The governor said the community around Farmington suffered in major, measurable ways while the plume floated down the river. Farmers couldn't irrigate. No one used the river for recreation or fishing. Few tourists visited.
"This community declined because we didn't have access in the way we needed to," the governor said at the news conference. "This announcement today… means that we're investing through the community."
The EPA will pay also the Navajo Nation $31 million, according to the Nation's Department of Justice.
"When the spill occurred, we went to the Gold King Mine site and saw firsthand the impacts to the land and water. The Gold King Mine blowout damaged entire communities and ecosystems in the Navajo Nation," President Jonathan Nez said in a news release. "This important settlement reflects the U.S. EPA's recognition of the suffering it caused the Navajo Nation and our people."

The settlement, announced Thursday at the Farmington Museum, comes after nearly six years of litigation between the states affected, the Navajo Nation, the federal government and the contractors and mining companies that caused the mess.
Under the settlement agreement, the United States will pay New Mexico $18.1 million for costs in responding to the emergency, $10 million for restoration of natural resources and $3.5 million more for state water quality and cleanup.
This is a breaking news story. We'll update it with more information as it becomes available.
In January, the companies agreed to pay $40 million to the United States government and $4 million to the state of Colorado, and the EPA agreed to pay $45 million toward the cleanup in Colorado.
Late last year, the state and the Navajo Nation reached a $11 million settlement with the companies that left the toxic metals in the mine: Sunnyside Gold Corporation, Kinross Gold Corporation and Kinross Gold U.S.A., Inc.
New Mexico is still pursuing a lawsuit against the contractors that caused the spill: Environmental Restoration, LLC and Weston Solutions, Inc.
The escaped metal tailings made their way through the Animas and San Juan Rivers through New Mexico and the Navajo Nation all the way to Lake Powell in Utah. The plume caused communities on and off the Nation to close irrigation canals and drinking water systems, and drastically reduce use of the rivers for farming, fishing and recreation.
A lawsuit from the state in May 2016 also said some reaches of the Animas River became "sinks" that temporarily hold the toxic metals until rain, snowfall or other events carried them further downstream.
The rivers are "now safe for irrigation and other uses," according to the Governor's Office, but "the stigma associated with the event has had lasting effects on the region's economy."

Q: How does Steam recognize an authorized computer to access shared library? My friend shared his library with me, and he had to log in to Steam on my machine and add the computer to the authorized list and then logged out.
Now every time I log in to my account on Steam I can see his games in my list.
The question is where does Steam store my computer's MAC (or encrypted key, or whatever) on my machine?
I'm planning to reinstall Windows and I wonder if I copied the Steam folder as is, along with the registry keys, would Steam would still recognize my computer? Or do I have to ask my friend to log in again and repeat the process?

A: My experience with Steam is that all information is kept on their servers.
I believe that they do not depend on local storage, so copying their folder
is not useful. All you will need to do is login to Steam again after
reinstalling Windows and Steam.
You will still need to verify the login via email sent to your email
address.
You may examine the Steam folder at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Steam.
I did, and didn't find anything that looked like user information.
In fact, I once gave my Steam login to a friend, who logged-in to my account
on his computer and added a game. When I went into Steam on my computer,
the game was there.
Steam is made so your games are playable from every device on which you
login to Steam.
With the
Steam Link service
you can now even stream and play your collection of games on a desktop or
phone device wherever you are.
From Steam help:

Can I use my Steam account on other computers?
You may use your Steam account on any machine which can connect to the
  Steam network - Steam allows you to download and install any games
  registered to your account as soon as you log in.

So all you need is a good internet connection.
EDIT
Since it seems that your friend used the Steam feature of Family Sharing,
that kind of sharing is truly to a device and account.
Your friend will need to revoke your old device and authorize the new one.
Steam technology is very sophisticated, so I do not believe that by copying
a single folder you can authorize a device. As their entire technology
is based on the cloud, I'm quite sure that Family Sharing is also
handled this way.

A: Well, since steam is proprietary software I don't think you will find definitive answer.
My guess is that steam recognize your computer based on your cofiguration and this configuration is saved somewhere on the cloud (same as microsoft oem licence). So my quess is that steam will recognize your computer even without config files.
Then I found this thread that says otherwise... (I think it's bullshit)
My recommendation for you is to make copy of your steam folder and steam registry keys. Make new installation and see if it works. If not rewrite steam with your backup. If even this didn't help, you need to login again.
Hope this help

A: Steam doesn't store anything other than your local machine's unique ID number on your local machine. When your friend logged in, he added your machine's ID to the list of IDs authorised to use his games. When your machine identifies itself to Steam at login time, Steam server confirms whether this is still the case, and shows you the combined list of games.

March 09, 2021 | Awards
AV-TEST Award 2020 for Trend Micro
This is the tenth time that the AV-TEST Institute is presenting its internationally renowned award for the best IT security products. The 2020 award in the test categories of performance and Android security was earned by the products "Apex One" and "Mobile Security" from the manufacturer Trend Micro. The security programs stood out thanks to continuously outstanding achievements, demonstrated in comprehensive tests throughout the period of the entire test year.
AV-TEST Award 2020
for Trend Micro
The AV-TEST Award – a game changer in the IT security industry
Even achieving a test certificate in regular and successfully completed tests is clear recognition of excellence. Because it recommends a product that has been evaluated by the AV-TEST Institute as a powerful tool in fending off IT threats. Certified security products and services receive the clear buying recommendation of our laboratory experts. In addition, products for Windows with achievements clearly above the industry standard are honored by rewarding them the extra evaluation of "Top Product".
The AV-TEST Award, however, goes even far beyond that. The coveted trophy is earned only by IT security products that were able to set new standards in all the tests during the test period of the past year. It is thus recognized certification of continuous peak achievements by manufacturers and developers, and it recognizes security products at the highest level. At the same time, this award fosters trust among consumers, corporate users and representatives of the media across the globe, who are looking at and guided by the regular product tests of the AV-TEST Institute.
AV-TEST Award for Trend Micro – certified proof of peak excellence
With the security program "Apex One", Trend Micro managed in 2020 to prove itself in the test category of performance for corporate products under Windows 10 as a game changer in the continuous battle against cybercriminals.
Also in threat prevention, Trend Micro was able to set new standards for mobile devices of consumers in 2020. Throughout the 2020 test period, the security solution "Mobile Security" showed what excellent protection against attacks targeting private mobile devices should look like, and is thus receiving the Best Android Security 2020 Award.
"In the test area of both corporate and consumer products, Trend Micro was able to make everyone sit up and take notice, thus earning a total of two AV-TEST awards. With its products 'Apex One' and 'Mobile Security', Trend Micro is one of the pioneers in the IT security industry", praises Guido Habicht, CEO of AV-TEST.
We want to stay in touch with you! Now there is an easy way to receive regular updates on the latest news and test releases.

Q: EF Joins and MVC Razor Views I have several tables whose relationships are based upon unique key constraints.
A quick example is:
VersionId, VersionName
SurveyId, SurveyName, VersionId
QuestionId, QuestionName, SurveyId, VersionId
EF doesn't currently support relationships based upon unique key constraints.  In my index view for question what's the best way handle the join to survey to show the grid of questions with survey name with respect to a model?
Do I need an anonymous type? db.Questions.Include("Surveys") doesn't seem to do anything.  I could use linq and make a ViewModel of the joined tables (I suspect this is the way to go), but there are so many things in EF & MVC that I thought I'd check before doing anything.

A: Why do you have a link to Version (i.e. VersionID) in both your survey table and your question table?  Couldn't you reach the version from the question through the survey?
Also, if you have the relationship between Question and Survey is many-to-one or one-to-one (each question only has one survey) then it should be db.Questions.Include("Survey") - non-plural.

A: First of all, no joins (or practically any other logic) in razors views. Controller is the place to build up the ViewModel, and  views are means to just present that ViewModel. As you mentioned, making ViewModel for it is only (correct) way to go. And you can fill that viewmodel by whatever method - linq is absolutely normal way to create joined data. And if you want to go further, you should place that join logic in some kind of repository, for example QuestionRepository, not in controller.


Sadie and Andy are Reading Friends at Owen Mor Care Centre in Derry/Londonderry.
There is a Reading Friends group session at Owen Mor every Monday afternoon.
Owen Mor specialises in the care of people living with dementia.
Sadie is a resident and Andy is her husband. They have been part of the group from the beginning. Before moving into residential care, Andy was Sadie's carer at home. Due to the progression of illness, Sadie has stopped talking.
We have been reading some local history in the group. Craigavon Bridge is a double-decker road bridge across the River Foyle in Derry/Londonderry. Shortly after it opened in 1933, there was a fire in the city, and that was the day Sadie was born.

Bond Disc Security PR
+49.40.219.066.36
richard@bonddisc.com
BOND DISC OFFERS UNPRECEDENTED PROFESSIONAL SECURITY FEATURES AT LOW COST
An easy-to-use and reliable security application can reshape the way you protect your personal and professional data
Hamburg, Germany – November 29, 2010 – Simulation Systems Research Corporation Ltd announced a new security application called Bond Disc that combines a unique set of features. It protects data reliably against theft, loss and trojans and secures files on PCs, notebooks and memory sticks against any form of unauthorized access. The exchange of data is easy and fast. The security is maintained automatically and requires only a minimum of intervention from the user.
Bond Disc features advanced military-grade encryption to withstand attacks from the world's most powerful cryptographic organisations for at least the next 60 years. A secure archive manager provides access to files to authorized personnel only. Optionally Bond Disc adds cryptographic seals to restrict access to confidential data on a need-to-know basis. Everyone can log information into a fully protected system, but a document can only be retrieved once all seals are cleared. This allows peers and departments to lock confidential information for a time until all parties clear access to the protected data.
It is perfectly secure to store Bond Disc archives on the world wide web, which enables new distribution and management strategies for confidential data. Bond Disc archives are also highly robust and can be retrieved under conditions of severe scrambling and from partially destroyed CDs, memory sticks and hard disks.
Data that is stored on a notebook or memory stick is for all practical purposes inaccessible to unauthorized parties. Authorized personnel can temporarily work with the secured data that is made available through a built-in secure ramdisk, which is the most comfortable and feature-rich on the market. The access to documents on the ramdisk can be restricted to only a limited set of trusted applications.
Bond Disc is straightforward to use. A user only needs the common knowledge how to work with files on a modern PC. Once set up, the user is only required to enter the cryptographic key at the begin of a session.
Bond Disc addresses the needs of small and medium-sized companies for the efficient and secure management of confidential documents, whether they are legal, press, technical et al. Bond Disc Security offers dedicated professional services for large organisations to address the security needs of departments and document management strategies.
Bond Disc is available for all Windows platforms and currently being ported to Linux and Apple Macintosh. For more information about Bond Disc please visit www.bonddisc.com.

Power Animals
by Renee-Louise Carafice
Bird Army Records
Danielle Street
For her third album Renee-Louise Carafice has returned to the solitary realm of the bedroom musician. Recorded during a time of "intensive therapy", the nine folk-songs of haunting desolation on Power Animals run together like a stream of unconscious despair. It is almost imperceptible where one stops and the next starts, the turbulent flow only to be accentuated by unusual holes in the middle of tracks.
Billed as her most provocative album, Power Animals was recorded by the Nashville-based expatriate on the pinhole microphone on her laptop computer. Recapturing a childhood essence of escapism, she employs the use of toy instruments to express some of her darkest experiences and deepest thoughts. The result is a record that while undoubtedly cathartic for the artist, is hard-listening for the audience. For the most part Carafice's lyrics are distorted and indiscernible, but the instruments remain relatively clear despite her lo-fi approach to recording. On 'A Promise, A Fireworks Display', a calm guitar-based melody lures the listener into the track with a false sense of security... shortly before launching into lyrics, "I will knock his fucking teeth out of his head". It's certainly a short, sharp poke back into the reality of a broken person.
This raw and troubled approach to songwriting continues throughout the album, 'A Boat of Glass', begins almost like a jewellery-box tune, but soon Carafice is yowling "I am sorry for the damage I have caused, trying to come back as a ghost", before returning to drift over a layer of rainfall samples. One imagines it must take immense amounts of courage to expose the inner-workings of your mind in such a public way. And despite its discordance, there are glimmers of hope in Power Animals, little specks of light like the sun shining through autumn leaves. But then she smashes that serenity, and your eardrums. I think it fair to say this is an album that should stay where it began, the bedroom - reserved for those antisocial post-break up moments when you have mascara dripping down your face.
Update: A remastered version of Power Animals is set for release on May 4th, 2014.

Firstly, for those of you reading who've stumbled across our neem oil article by chance rather than actively searching for it, you'll need to know what on earth we're talking about! What exactly is neem oil? I know that I didn't know what neem oil was until someone had recommended it to me for my skin problems.
Neem oil is from the seed of a tree, the neem tree. It's a tropical tree that's also called Indian Lilac (Azadirachta indica). It has a great back catalogue of uses in folklore remedies across the world and has been used in the treatment for lots of conditions. There's even some evidence that's over 4500 years old which shows that neem was being used to promote healing. These uses were in ancient India and the neighboring countries. This tree is revered today too as a most versatile plan, and is fondly called the "village dispensary" due to every part of the tree having some therapeutic value. It is a part of the mahogany tree family and is a very fast-growing tree which is resistant to drought thanks to its evergreen nature making it a great renewable resource.
It does have a very strong odor however, it's high in lots of nutrients including fatty acids. The flowers do have a sweet honey smell though. Neem is therefore used in many beauty products such as body lotions, skin cream, cosmetics and hair products too.
It has many uses thanks to these ingredients and can treat all kinds of skin conditions. It can treat wrinkles and dry areas of skin, reduce scarring, stimulate the production of collagen, treat acne, reduce the sizes of moles and warts, and even help treat more serious conditions affecting the skin such as eczema and psoriasis.
These amazing benefits are even backed up by clinical research. One study, which was carried out on hairless mice, has shown neem oil to be an anti-aging oil with great promise, treating symptoms like dryness, wrinkling and thinning skin. Also, a study on humans has shown neem oil to help heal post-surgical wounds on the scalp. Another study allowed the researchers to come to the conclusions that neem oil would be a beneficial treatment for prolonged acne. The bitter taste of neem has a cooling effect in the body which reduces excess heat that can lead to blemishes on the skin.
Its effects on the immune system also aid the skin with the detoxifying and immune boosting reputation that neem oil has. Neem oil also works on the scalp and therefore the hair too. If you have excess heat trapped in the scalp or pitta, neem is fantastic for cooling and supporting smooth and luscious hair growth. Neem oil can even work as a deodorant too!
The oil is brown in color and can be light or dark depending on how it has been processed. The taste is due to the triterpenoid compounds found in the oil. These compounds are also known as cancer fighters.
So, we've looked at a few of neem oil's benefits but there are loads of benefits of the neem three that we've barely mentioned. Let's make a list of them here.
Is a blood purifier and detoxifier which cleans out toxins from the blood and liver and is a famous free radical fighter.
It's your favorite 'anti.' Neem oil is antifungal, antibacterial, antimalarial and antimicrobial all in one! Not many supplements can top that!
Boosts circulation in the body. It dilates blood vessels and lowers the heart rate and blood pressure.
Helps prevent hormonal imbalances in the body.
Calms and soothes toothache. You can even buy neem tooth powders and pastes.
Prevents stinky breath. Gingivitis? Not anymore with the use of neem oil and its antibacterial properties.
Can be used to whiten teeth and make teeth whitening infusions.
Looks after nail health and helps fungal nail infections if applied to the nail.
Relieves joint pain and muscular aches. Research has shown that the polysaccharides in neem can reduce swelling and inflammation in arthritic patients. It, therefore, suppresses the pain and the progression of the illness.
May have benefits for breast cancer patients. One study has shown that the extract from neem leaf can stop the breast cancer cells from proliferating. It can also soothe the side effects of cancer treatments such as cuts, fissures, nail infections, and red patches.
Supports anorexia treatment with the use of flowers which stimulate the stomach to prevent distastes towards food.
Can help keep type 2 diabetes under control.
Helps to cure stomach ulcers.
Helps with asthmatic people by reducing body inflammation including in the trachea. Some people have even claimed to be permanently cured of their asthma through their use of neem oil!
Can solve lice problems by killing the lice and getting rid of them for good.
So you can see that the neem tree really is nature's own little pharmacy and substances from the tree can greatly help lots of conditions. Our products today are focussing on neem oil and how it can be used to help the skin.
Of course, as mentioned, it's not just the oil from the neem tree that has benefits, the leaves and other parts of the tree do too. These can be quite difficult and expensive to source individually so why not go one better and just grow your own tree! Don't know how? Have a look at our tips and reap the benefits of your own little garden pharmacy.
Firstly, you should buy a young tree or order some seeds from a reputable supplier. Neem can grow in pretty much any type of soil and it's pretty simple to grow even if your soil is saline, clayey, black cotton soil or even alkaline soils.
If growing from seeds, the pots should be placed in a warm temperature. Keep seeds covered in about an inch of soil in the nursery or green house. You should always start off in small pots. The best time to grow neem is in the spring as this is nature's germination season. The seeds will take around four weeks to germinate and sunlight should be avoided in this time.
You can also grow a neem tree in a larger pot with holes for drainage but you should use a good quality potting mix for this. Potted trees should be kept with natural sunlight and outdoors from spring until late in the summer but they should be kept inside once autumn arrives. If the weather is hot, the tree should not be in direct sunlight for long periods of time when the trees have started to show signs that they're growing. You could also add fluorescent lights during the night time once winter arrives as this will help a young tree continue to grow. Neem trees are hardy trees and they can tolerate high temperatures up to 120F. If there's an extended period of cold weather below 35F the tree will lose its leaves. It can be grown entirely indoors in a pot if you have the space, or be brought in during the colder months too.
Remember to use organic fertilizers on trees and then you can plant the tree outside. You should dig a hole that is larger than the pot and make sure that you plant the tree deep in the soil so that the root ball is entirely covered. Of course, be sure to water your trees once a week at least and use an organic fertilizer like a liquid fish mix. Also, make sure you feed it in the winter months and prune the tree in the spring if it needs it. These trees can live between 150-200 years so you'll definitely get your money's worth from your seeds if you look after your tree properly!
As mentioned above, there are many ways to use the neem tree to gain health and beauty benefits and many of these are through using the neem tree's leaves. You can make teas and juices from the leaves but as the leaves taste bitter, drinking a lot of the tea or juice would be difficult. You can also mix the ground up leaves with a little added water to form a paste and applying it topically to sooth a skin ailment. You can even add the powdered leaves to your bath water.
It would not be right to leave out the potential negative effects of a supplement on our site and so we will be informing you of the possible but not necessarily likely side effects that you may experience when using one of our recommended neem supplements. As with all supplements, you have to accept certain side effects for the overall added benefit that the supplement gives you, especially if you are using that supplement to treat a particular ailment.
Firstly, it's best not to give supplements to children as they can suffer from enhanced side effects due to their age and size. Such effects could include vomiting, drowsiness, diarrhea and even seizures or other serious effects. Likewise, it's not a good idea to take neem oil when pregnant or breast feeding as there is not enough evidence to support the safety of the supplement during this time.
As neem may cause the immune system to increase its activity, it could have the unwanted effect of increasing symptoms in some auto-immune illnesses such as MS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and other conditions. It's best to stay clear of neem if you suffer from such a condition.
As mentioned in the uses of neem and the benefits that it can have, one side effect was its effect on the blood sugar levels in the body. As there's some evidence that suggests neem can lower the sugar levels it could cause the levels to drop too low in diabetic people. If you suffer from diabetes it's wise to use neem with caution and monitor your levels regularly. This also a reason why you should avoid neem use if you are due to have scheduled surgery within the next couple of weeks.
One side effect that is more troublesome for some of us is that neem has been shown to harm sperm in some cases as well as perhaps reducing fertility in other ways. It's used as a pesticide by farmers to reduce the fertility of the pests on their crops! If you are trying to conceive, it would be prudent to avoid all forms of neem.
There's the added concern that neem could decrease the efficacy of transplant rejection medications and so doctors advise that if you are a transplant patient you should avoid using neem.
Of course, any supplement should be used with caution with sensible dosages and following the recommendations and advice given on the packaging. If you are in any doubt about whether you should consume neem oil and similar supplements you should seek advice from your doctor. This is particularly important if you have an underlying health condition or take another type of medication. Likewise, if you suffer from allergies, it's wise to read the ingredients list fully before consuming the products to avoid any unnecessary allergic reactions.
There are many different supplements of neem oil for skin available to buy today and unfortunately, there are just too many of them for us to review in detail so we had to narrow down our choices and focus our research. So, how did we achieve this and provide you with our top ten neem supplements that you see today?
Firstly, we looked at over 4700 user reviews of different neem supplement products and determined what important features the users of these products were valuing and looking for. Despite some of the products having side effects when we tested the supplements, we have chosen only those which had the fewest side effects for our top ten. We figured that we couldn't recommend a product if the side effects outweighed the positives that would be gained in taking it.
In total, we analyzed around 50 different neem products each with different features and styles and from them, we drew up a shortlist of 20 supplements. For these 20, we visited their websites, read their guide book, looked through their product descriptions on different store pages and finally read their individual critic reviews. We analyzed all of this information and made side-by-side comparisons of the different products and their features and benefits. With all this information in hand, we compared our final reviews from our volunteers, matching the research data that we had gathered from the web.
By now, I'm sure you can imagine that we had a lot of data and information and so, using all of this data, we compiled our top ten for you, our Supplemania readers. Should you want to read a little more in depth about how we made our decisions and came to our conclusions, you can read our attached report. Access is gained through liking one of our social media pages.
All supplements must have a disclaimer on the packaging and the website too. Of course, with all supplements, you need to justify some of the side effects that have been experienced in order to have the benefit of the supplements' ingredients, as mentioned above. However, it's also worth bearing in mind that not all supplements will have the same side effects on the same person. Indeed, side effects can be somewhat subjective and unique to the individual and if you experience side effects that are too much, it may be worth trying a different supplement or brand to see if there's another option that is more suited to you. This is especially true if you have any dietary sensitivities or any food allergies. Of course, should any serious and significant side effects occur you should stop taking the supplement immediately and consult your doctor if necessary.
There's also a legal disclaimer on the packaging which is clearly stated by the manufacturer. For example: Please consult your doctor before using this supplement if you are nursing, pregnant, have a pre-existing medical condition or are taking other medication. You must not use this product if the seal is not intact. Keep all medicines and supplements out of children's reach. Allergy warning: This supplement was manufactured in a facility that processes other ingredients such as milk, soy beans, egg, fish, shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts.
It is worth nothing that the FDA (The U.S. Food and Drug Administration) does not test the effectiveness of dietary supplements before they are marketed.
To begin our top ten, let's first explain what it is we learned that users are looking for in a neem supplement. We found 26 positive features and we considered each of these in our 20 product short list. These features provided us with an analytical result which enabled us to shortlist the 10 best neem supplements. We took all the information from the drug fact sheets, the user manual and combined that with our volunteer's information. For each product, we also looked at its actual value over its effectiveness and its pricing. We also looked at the product's life cycle by analyzing the frequency of its reviews online and to determine any misconceptions. Taking all of this into consideration, we are confident that we have found 2018's best neem supplements, paying particular focus to neem oil for skin supplementation.

Zatural is a company that was started by MaryAnn Stanger, who is a certified acupuncturist, aromatherapist, microscopist, NAET practitioner, Doctor of Naturopathy and digestive health specialist. MaryAnn started Zatural by drawing together all of her expertise from her extensive studies, providing natural supplements with professional grade components which are free from harmful additives, filler, binders, and lubricants. Furthermore, each of the doctor-formulated supplements is shipped from within the USA, from Idaho, completely free of charge when ordering direct from the Zatural website.
Zatural's neem oil is 100% virgin. It is cold pressed neem oil, pressed from neem seeds and is brought in from India on a bimonthly basis. The Azadirachtin count for this product ranges from over 1,500. Like all neem products, it has a strong odor and is bitter in taste as well as having different color varieties. But, this is all because it's 100% pure neem oil.
This product has many of the benefits that we have listed above in terms of the typical benefits of using a neem oil product. It can be used as a therapeutic supplement for the skin and hair due to its make-up which is full of antioxidants and carotenoids which help to protect the skin through fighting free radicals, which contribute to the aging of the skin with age spots and wrinkles. Furthermore, it can be used as an active repellent for insects and even bed bugs. As it's all natural, it's DEET free. Lastly, in a similar way to how it repels bugs, it can be used as a pesticide for organic gardening due to its liminoid content. Liminoids are a component in azadirachtin which disrupt hormone production in insects, causing them not only to lose appetite but also interfering with their maturation and reproductive cycles.
For us at Supplemania, we used this product to help moisturize and nourish sensitive and dry skin.
This Neem supplement is our favourite choice and is also organic! It is awesome value and really effective for the price it costs. It has a whole host of uses, so is a truly multipurpose product.
A bottle of 16oz. neem oil costs around $16, which means it's worth about $1 per ounce of oil. This makes it slightly below average in terms of its cost.
This neem oil can be used in many different ways but it is recommended for external use only. Here are some of Zatural's recommended uses for their neem oil.
Use it directly as a remedy for anti-aging. It can be applied to the skin to counter the signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles and even age spots due to the quantities of antioxidants and carotenoids.
Use it as a moisturizer. The quantity of vitamin E and the fatty acids aid the skin's healing processes and help the skin to retain its elasticity and stay moisturized.
The neem oil is packed full of anti-inflammatory agents and analgesic compounds too. These can reduce swelling, pain and redness that are associated with breakouts of acne. The moisturizing agents and fatty acids nourish the skin and the antibacterial compounds fight the bacteria, right to the cause of acne.
Prevent and treat scarring by using neem oil. It can work wonders on existing stretch marks and scars. But, remember, you should not use neem oil if you are trying to conceive or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Zatural neem oil can be used to relieve the symptoms of psoriasis and eczema. These two skin conditions are caused by genetics and a pre-disposition to the disorders, but you can treat and manage their symptoms using neem oil. The oil soaks into the skin at a deep level, promoting healing and providing a barrier of protection to the harshness of irritants.
Zatural recommends that you use their oil as an antifungal agent to give your over the counter antifungal medicines a boost. You can use the neem oil directly or add a few drops to the creams. It can help to treat fungal nail infections, ringwork, and athlete's foot. It does need to be used consistently and for a longer period of time in order to work when fighting fungus and fungal infections are known to be stubborn.
Neem oil can be used as a hair conditioner and tamer by rubbing a couple of drops between your palms and stroking through the hair. It should make hair glossy and shiny. Your scalp will thank you too.
As for the scalp, you can use Zatural's neem oil to condition the skin on the top of your head. Massage the oil into the head before washing your hair and this can increase the blood flow as well as opening up the pores. This can even stimulate hair growth.
Another scalp use is to treat dandruff. Add Zatural's neem oil to your regular hair products in order to eliminate and treat that flaky scalp.
Have kids or work with them? Well, you're likely to have become a little familiar with those infamous critters known as head lice! The good news is that your neem oil can be used to prevent an infestation and it's preferable to use natural oils as lice are becoming resistant to over the counter chemical pesticides and as a result, there are even outbreaks of super lice which are really resistant to such chemicals!
Neem oil can be used as a hot oil treatment by mixing a few drops with olive oil which will help with dry hair.
As mentioned, neem oil can be used in the garden as a 100% natural insecticide. Beware that it can harm helpful insects too though!
Yuck: cockroaches and silverfish! With neem oil you can help eradicate them. You can use the neem oil to pain a line around your windows and doorways which can help to repel many insects. You can even soak balls of cotton with the oil and hide them in typical places such as at the back of cupboards and underneath appliances.
Another garden use is the treatment of fungal infections in the garden too. It'll help to treat sooty mold, root rot, black spot, and powdery mildew.
Lastly, Zatural recommends their oil for repelling ticks and fleas. Add it to dog shampoo or create a flea spray by mixing around a dozen drops with half the amount if washing up with soap and about a cup of tepid water. It should be used within a couple of days but you can always make more and spray as a repellent on your pets!
There are six sizes of Zatural's Neem Oil available: 55 gallons, 5 gallons, 1 gallon, 32 ounces, 16 ounces, and 8 ounces.

Our favorite in capsule form is Superior Lab's Neem Leaf Capsules.
Superior Labs put their customers' health and safety first. They manufacture their supplements without any harmful additives in a natural product line with the highest quality and most potent ingredients in their sports line. Superior Labs' manufacturing process is more time-consuming than other suppliers because they don't use any ingredients or harmful flowing agents such as silicon dioxide or magnesium stearate in order to cut corners. Ingredients such as these are used by the majority of manufacturers to make the process speedier and to save money. However, this is all at the customer's expense in terms of their health.
This Neem supplement comes in a capsule form, and is quite new to market. It is a really positive and effective product, that is amazing value for money as well. 100% recommend!
Superior Labs are indeed superior with their product line being completely free of additives. The purity process makes sure that you get exactly what the packaging promises. They use premium, specialized ingredients and go above the requirements of testing protocols to make sure that their customers have the accurate ingredients and potency and are free from molds, bacteria, and salmonella too. Furthermore, they test all their ingredients to ensure that they're free from heavy metals.
Superior Labs' Neem Leaf is one of their traditional supplements which they say is used for its many benefits. These capsules contain 500mg or pure neem leaf and are completely free of preservatives, dioxides, magnesium stearates or any other artificial ingredients that could potentially harm the health of their users. Lastly, the product is made is a facility that is registered with the FDA and is compliant with the GMP.
This product is suitable for those looking to give their digestion a boost, aiming for a healthy digestive system as well as maintaining a healthy appetite. Furthermore, these capsules will help to support a healthier immune system and will give the body the free radical fighters that it is looking for. This is a strong and powerful 500mg dosage but there's no risk to buying these: if you're not completely satisfied, superior labs will refund your money within 48 hours without any questions asked.
When taking these capsules as a dietary supplement, you should take one capsule two to three times each day or as otherwise directed by a health care professional. It's better to take the capsules with a meal to aid their absorption and prevent an unpleasant aftertaste. The capsules are easy to take thanks to their vegetable outer layer.
Some of our users reported an allergic reaction to this product yet our readers should be aware that not all users will have the same effects and these are entirely dependent on the individual user.
Why is this our best Neem Supplement in Capsule form?
This product was only introduced to the market relatively recently so there are fewer user feedbacks than other similar products at the time of writing. We have looked at the reviews, however, and have seen that the general consensus among the 73 reviews is that there's a good ratio of 17:1 positive to negative reviews. This shows that this is by far the most effective and most well-liked neem supplement in capsule form.
This product has the highest value over effectiveness and price among all other neem supplements in capsule form. It costs around $17 for 120 capsules. It will last for around two months if you take two capsules a day.
Its user rating is 4.5 out of 5 which is one of the highest user ratings of neem supplements in capsule form. It has a slower review frequency, however, given that it's a relatively new product, with the first 10 reviews in 44 days, the earlier 10 reviews in 31 days and the earliest 10 reviews in a whopping 166 days. That said, it always takes time for a new product to come to market and to gain in popularity. It is the lowest rating frequency compared to other neem capsules.
Lastly, their supplement facilities are compliant with the FDA and GMP and they have been audited and certified for quality by the NSF, which is one of the most stringent quality manufacturing organizations in the supplement industry. Taking everything into consideration we have given it a Supplemania Score of 9.5. These really are the best neem capsules that we have found.

Oleavine TheraTree is a company that specializes in body and foot care and is paving the way in the supplement industry which they say is plagued by ingredients that are not desirable. The company is a fast growing company and they put their customers first. They even offer a 90 day money back guarantee on their products, that's how much they trust in them.
Their neem oil is certified organic and is also OMRI (Organic Materials Research Institute) certified. It's carefully balanced and processed to retain the delicate active ingredients and essential fatty acids. It's rich in Omega 6 and 9 too as well as antioxidants. Furthermore, the neem oil is not extracted by using any chemicals but by cold press. Plus, they test each batch for quality and potency. Their Wild Neem Oil is cultivated from long lived trees which are in the wild forests of southern India, right in their natural environment. With the trees being in their most natural habitat, Oleavine TheraTree believe that there's a larger range of active ingredients and benefits gained from the neem oil.
This neem oil helps to nourish, moisturize and protect dry and sensitive skin and it is commonly applied to help with skin irritations. It can keep bugs away too and can therefore be used as a mosquito repellent and a natural bug deterrent to add to your pet shampoos. It's also often used in organic farms for exactly the same reason.
This neem oil can also be used traditionally like in India, for hair treatments to add shine and condition and tame frizzy or rough hair. It'll also support the scalp health too. It's soothing and a cosmetic grade too.
This Neem supplement is rich in antioxidants as well as Omegas. The Neem is extracted in a non-chemical way, so is great for the ethically conscious people out there.
A 12 ounce bottle of oil costs around $15. It's slightly above average in terms of price in comparison to others in our list. Having said that, it has the most reviews of any of our products in our list at the time of writing at 779. However, it's positive to negative ratio is just 4:1, hence its position in our list.
This oil is to use topically. You can apply it directly onto the skin or mix it with another carrier oil like jojoba, coconut or even olive oil. It also can be added to a bath or to other body products, pet shampoos, or as a DIY insect repellent for the garden – or for you! It does have a characteristic smell, however. If it becomes solid when at room temperature you can immerse the container in some warm water before using.
Some users reported an allergy and a skin reaction. Of course, it such reactions are subjective to individuals and should not be considered as standard.

Nature's Way began in 1968 when Tom Murdock, the subsequent founder, searched desperately for some way to improve the health of his wife. He relied on conventional options at first but this was not successful. He eventually took a leap and looked to tradition knowledge from the Native Americans and the power that plants could have. With this, he began to see an improvement in the health of his beloved wife and she lived for 25 years more.
His quest to help his spouse led to a renaissance in herbs in America and eventually the creation of his company, Nature's Way. In 1969, he was developing eight brand-new herbal remedies. Over 40 years have passed since then and Nature's Way is now a leading dietary supplement brand.

Here we have another of Zatural's neem products, this time an organic body butter made from neem. It's a plant-based, concentrated formula which helps repair, protect and moisturize the body and face. It's made by hand in small quantities and it contains the finest organic wild ingredients.
MaryAnn Stanger started Zatural and she's a certified microscopist, aromatherapist and digestive health specialist, among other titles. She has drawn together her expertise to produce this neem oil body butter.
This Neem product comes as an organic body butter that helps to moisturise your body and face. It will help you combat early raging and will help your skin stay smooth and elastic for longer.
This product will counteract the aging process, which is influenced by multiple factors. Some of these factors are genetic and therefore we have little control over them. However, for the non-genetic factors, neem oil can really help as it has been shown to have great effects. It's rich in certain vitamins, such as Vitamin E, a natural and powerful antioxidant, preventing wrinkles and damage from free-radicals. It's all packed with omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids as well as palmitic acid. Research has shown neem to have an important role to play in helping our bodies in the repair mechanisms in damaged skin. Neem oil will quickly help repair the skin and keep it free from wrinkles. It's anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties will prevent infections in the skin that can lead to cellular damage. These stresses can weaken the skin cells, resulting in early aging in a similar way to the damage caused by repeated sunburn. Neem serves as a natural protector and an all-natural anti-ager.
It's also highly moisturizing, supporting the skin's natural elasticity. If the skin is too dry, cracks and wrinkles can form so neem oil helps to lock in the moisture to maintain elasticity, disrupting the drying of skin that leads to early aging.
This neem oil butter can be used in the hair and on the scalp to help improve dandruff and the general condition of the scalp. It's also been known to reduce or slow down hair loss with regular use. It's also suitable as a nail balm, improving the condition and the appearance of the nails and reversing signs of damage such as brittleness, yellowing and cracking.
An 8 oz. bottle costs around $11 making it the most expensive item per ounce on our list. However, it's got 4.5 out of 5 on Amazon and has an amazing ratio of 41 positive for every negative review! Our Supplemania Score is a great 9.4!
The Neem Body Butter can be applied to the body, face and lips whenever needed. For optimum results, it should be applied to wet skin after showering or bathing. For the hair and scalp, massage the butter into the head and scalp and leave for at least five minutes before rinsing and washing. For the nails, it can be applied daily as a hand cream.
Some users reported a skin irritation or allergy. However, remember that what affects one person's skin will not necessarily affect another's.
Banyan Botanicals began in 1996 and was founded by two Americans, Kevin Casey and Scott Cote in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Scott studied Ayurveda with Dr. Lad 10 years prior and he set up the herbal pharmacy at the Institute. Kevin studied with Dr. Lad in 1993 and then joined Scott the next year. Kevin and Scott began to receive requests for higher quality products and Ayurvedic products as they gained popularity. They were limited in what they could do as there was a supply issue.
From then on, in 1996, a room in Kevin's house became the launch pad for the Banyan Trading Company. It was well liked by the Ayurvedic community and it soon moved out of the house and into a warehouse. The first employees were students who'd just graduated from Institute. A couple of years later, Scott created the Banyan Botanicals herbal tablets brand, with just nine formulae to begin with. There was Mental Clarity and Stress Ease formulas amongst others. There are over 40 different types now. Banyan began selling to the public from the turn of the century, via the internet and in a catalogue.
In the early 2000s, Banyan and their facilities became certified organic. They then began making oils via a traditional method of a large kettle. They also began regular visits to India to source ingredients from their farms. Today, the company continues in its growth and maintains the focus on quality.
Neem is a most celebrated herb for the skin and the bitter flavour aids in the cooling of excess body heat. It purifies blood whilst supporting digesting, healing and destroying toxins.

Lastly, their neem oil is often ingested in order to create a balance in the pancreas, liver and gastrointestinal tract.
This option comes as an organic powder and can be used in lots of ways. You can even use it to brush your teeth! It is a little more expensive than other options, but is a great certified organic option.

They bring organically grown herbal products and food from India to enhance our overall body health with the traditional Indian methods of consuming foods from the farm to the table. They are a company that's family owed who source all the ingredients from farms directly so that the quality and freshness is always preserved.

Their Neem is different from the other products in our top ten in that it is loose leaf neem. It's also known as Margosa and has roots that are firmly linked with Hinduism. Hindus have worshipped neem for centuries due to its diverse properties and healing in Ayurveda medicine. It does have a taste that's astringent and a strong scent which therefore produces a strong taste, but it gives us a little glimpse into traditional Indian ceremonies and religious practices.
If you consume margosa regularly it could have the following benefits: it may lower your stress levels due to the high quantities of antioxidants. It may also strengthen the immune system in the body and promote the health and wellness in the respiratory system. It also has positive effects on digestive health and improves the metabolism and can even provide a stamina boost. Lastly, it prevents dental problems.
This pick comes as a dried leaf, that you can then brew into a tea. This option is great for relieving stress as well as improving your immune system. A classic Indian product, that won't leave you disappointed.
If you are making this neem product on the stovetop you should place two cups of water in a pot and let it come to a boil. Next, add two teaspoons of the leaves to the water and let it simmer for around 4-5 minutes in order to have the best strength and flavor. You can then add a sweetener or sugar to your taste. Lastly, use a tea strainer to strain the tea from the leaves.
If you are making it in a teapot you should add the water to a tea kettle and bring it to a boil (a rolling boil is ideal). Then add one teaspoon of the leaves for each cup of water that you placed into the teapot. The boiling water can then be poured into the teapot and it should be left to brew for between four and five minutes to achieve optimal strength and flavor. Like the stove top method, you can then add sweetener or sugar to your taste and strain the tea leaves from the tea.
Some users reported experiencing stomach pain after consuming this tea.
After reading all of our top picks and tips I bet you could just do with a cup of that loose leaf neem tea mentioned above! In our picks, there's something for everyone. Several different oils to choose from, each with slightly different properties and costs, a body butter, some neem capsules and lastly the loose leaf neem tea. We are sure that with such a comprehensive list you are sure to find something that will suit your needs and budget. We've really tried to help you find the best neem oil for skin. Let us know which one you choose and what the results are like! Remember, detailed information about how we chose our picks and came to our conclusions can be found in our attached report, which you can access by liking or following one of our social media pages.
The benefits of neem oil speak for themselves. The fact that nature's own little pharmaceutical tree gives us all of the products naturally just like it has done in ancient India centuries and even millennia ago means that, when using such products, you're following the advice and knowledge gained over an incredible period of time. Let's face it, if neem oil and neem tree products didn't work, the ancient Indian civilizations would have worked this out for us and therefore these products would not be still in use today. The neem oil market is picking up pace as more and more of us learn of its benefits. Why not try some today and see what all the fuss is about? Which will it be? Our top pick oil? The body butter? The capsules? Or lastly, the loose leaf tea? If you're still unsure you can rely on us and pick the top pick. After all, we did hours and hours of research to come to the conclusion that this really is the best out of all the choices out there online. We hope that your skin is smooth and problem free in next to no time!

Het stadspaleis van Maximilianus Transylvanus bestond in Brussel van 1529 tot 1828.

Het was een van de eerste voorbeelden van renaissancearchitectuur in de stad en bij uitbreiding in de Nederlanden. Het werd gebouwd in 1529-1532 door samenvoeging en transformatie van bestaande middeleeuwse gebouwen, op een site tegenover de Zavelkerk, naast het Hof van Thurn en Tassis. Janus Secundus bewonderde het gebouw in 1530 en bezong het in verzen.

Het paleis behoorde achtereenvolgens toe aan de families Solre (1639), Westerlo, Wemmel [en] en d'Hooghvorst. Het werd afgebroken in 1828 bij de aanleg van de Coppensstraat en is nog bekend uit iconografische bronnen, waaronder schilderijen naar Antoon Sallaert (deel van De Ommegang van 1615 in Brussel) en een prent van het toegangsportaal door Jacques Androuet du Cerceau.
