Also called: Chapped Lips, Dry Lips
Chapped Lips are cosmetically very ugly. Dry, cracked or sore lips can be painful as well as interfere in daily activities like eating, talking, smiling or kissing. There are many factors which contribute to Chapped Lips. These include "Exposure to wind, sun, cold, dry air, obstructed breathing, such as in allergic rhinitis, which can force you to breathe through your mouth, contact dermatitis due to irritants or allergens in cosmetics or skin-care products, certain medications, such as those used to treat acne, a habit of frequently licking your lips, dehydration". Chapped lips can be resolved by: Use of oil-based lubricating cream, lip cream or balm that contains sunscreen since sun exposure contributes to chapped lips. Apply lip cream, balm or lipstick before going out in cold, dry weather. Avoid licking your lips. Saliva evaporates quickly, leaving the lips drier than before. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. Dehydration can contribute to chapped lips.

"When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering.
After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
