Homemade Body Butter

 By: Sadisha E.

 Create your own natural body butter at home. Body Butter is great for the colder months of the year. Great to use on dry and itchy skin. Use this butter after a bath or shower for the best results. Or simply use it anytime you want to moisturize your body. Make a little for now. Perhaps make a larger batch to store in a container for later. The point of this is to promote healthy skin without spending too much.

Unrefined Cold Pressed Coconut Oil
and Avocado Oil

I used Raw Shea Butter, Avocado oil, and Jojoba Oil and Coconut Oil (Unrefined). A hand mixer was used to make it creamy. Feel free to use it right away. Store it at room temperature.

Benefits of Jojoba Oil   Improves your skin if you suffer from Eczema or Psoriasis. And even diminish stretch marks. It is also hypoallergenic.

Benefits of Avocado Oil   Helps to produce collagen, heals wounds quicker, relieves diaper rash. Offers some protection from sun burn. Moisturizer for your skin.

Benefits of Coconut Oil   Leaves your skin feeling baby soft.  Gives your skin a glowing effect. Heals skin.  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20523108.  Has antioxidants and protects from free radicals.

Benefits of Shea Butter   This is great for rough elbows and heels. Softens and evens skin tone. Use Sunscreen, prevents  wrinkles and reduces them, arthritis pain relief when rubbed into the skin on affected area. Contains Vitamins F, A, and E. Used in Africa by those who workout frequently to warm-up muscles prior to exercise.

Be sure to only purchase the purest butter. The white tub of butter is raw.
Don't buy the yellow tub.

Save Money With This Weight-Loss Secret

The Power of Safflower Oil
 

 

I wanted to lose weight in the mid-section. Recently I began to take 2 tablespoons of Safflower oil and mix it with my favorite drinks. This continued twice a day for a couple of weeks. This stuff really flushes you out. Safflower oil is the next best thing to getting a colon cleanse. And it is incredibly cheap. Purchased a bottle at Whole Foods.http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/?reloaded=true After the first week I noticed my stomach looked like it when down a bit. The second week was much improved. My major test was to see how my pants felt. I had room in my tummy area. Even felt more energetic.

Even Dr. Oz mentioned Safflower oil and how it will remove the toxins from your intestines. Of course I discovered this after I had already tried it on my own. Definitely better that prune juice alone.

Did you know that the majority of the weight is from digested food that just sits in your intestines? Over time the intestines just fill up and can become clogged. That is when you feel slow, sluggish, and constipated.

My mom told me back when she was a child her mother use to make the whole family stay home on the weekends. She gave them Castor oil or something to flush them out completely. This way they would be prepared for the following week healthier.

In today's society we consume an abundance of food. To make matters worse most of us either refuse or are unable to exercise. As a result stats show how most Americans are morbidly obese. Along with that burden the weight opens the flood gates to many diseases. All which can be avoided with a healthier diet and exercise and waste removal.

If you only defecate once a day or every few days you are already in trouble. Try the safflower oil or at least prune juice. Remove the waste at once. But, if you are cramping you may have taken too much. If I drink prune juice it will only be a shot a couple of times a day. That way I'll have no emergencies if you know what I mean.

Reduce the weight + less chance of getting disease = $$$ saved not have to pay for high priced monthly prescriptions. Save, save, save.

Note: Sweating is good. It is how your body cleans itself from the inside out. It is pertinent to our survival. Periodically while in the bath gently scrub your entire body with sugar. Remove the dead skin cells so your skin can breathe properly.

Let me know what you think of this story. Please tell me of your experiences!

Thanks for taking time to read my blog! :)

Natural Remedies You Can Make From Home

The Goodness of Honey

By: Sadisha E.

Honey - Use this when you want to increase your metabolism. Honey use to be used in the wars on injured soldiers to clean wounds. It was accidentally discovered that putting it on and in a wound helps speed up the healing process. Aid your sleep by ingesting honey prior to going to bed. This product works best when it is pure honey.

Take a spoonful before bed for your metabolism.

Make a tea - 1 – 2 spoonfuls of honey added to hot water, and lemon juice.

Healing Properties – Put honey on scratch or cut a few times a day. It is an antiseptic as well. For best results clean the injury then apply honey.

Note: If your conditions worsen contact your doctor immediately. These are just benefits of honey and not formal medical prescriptions.

Coconut Oil –Whenever I want to lose weight I will make a tea. I’ll take a spoonful of the oil. Then add it to hot water and lemon juice. Usually my ritual would be conducted as soon as I awaken before my first meal. Repeat again at night. This little miracle aids in removing toxins. It also aids in relief of constipation.

Coconut Oil is known for doing wonders for kidney problems, stress relief, and increase bone strength. You’ll increase your calcium intake which is great for your teeth. For school-age children it works for Lice.

Iodine – Can be utilized to remove all kinds of toxins from your body. Some of the toxins include mercury and lead. Women in particular benefit from ingesting iodine for its reproductive assistance; especially during pregnancy. Fight off depression, and improve your energy levels.

Eggs – If you want healthy eyes eat eggs. Eggs have vitamins E and A, Riboflavin, Iron, Zinc, and protein.

I’ve also used raw eggs to benefit my body externally!

Separate the yoke from the egg whites. Stir the yoke and apply directly to your hair and leave on for 10 minutes as a natural conditioner. Then wash it out. Use egg whites on your face to make your skin tighter. Wash your face and your skin will feel healthier.
