Chamomile Tea

Many feel that home remedies can substitute for some common medical treatments.  I have mixed feeling about them.  I generally like to try a home remedy first and see what kind of results that I can achieve from it, however I am not so obsessed with them that I do not seek professional medical advice for my family.  I feel that I have been born in this era for a reason and there are modern medical conventions that I am very happy to take advantage of.  But that is not to say that I am going to throw away all of the natural treatments that my grandmother and mother have passed down to me for so many years.  This is just one of them.

Unfortunately Pinkeye is a common ailment that affect many people at one time or another in their life.  It is not specific to just children or adults, but instead affects both.

You can tell you have Pinkeye is your eye swells and turns puffy around the eyelid.  It will also become red and itchy.  In addition, you may awake and one or both of your eyes may be sealed shut from eye discharge that the virus emits.  Your eye(s) may feel like there is dirt in your eye or that it itches or burns. In addition, the white of the eye can turn pinkish red and become inflamed.

How do you catch Pinkeye you may wonder, well it is as easy to catch as the common cold, an ear infection, a sinus infection or a sore throat.  If you have allergies it may instigate pinkeye as could various chemicals and pollutants.

Pinkeye seems to be really alarming because it comes on quickly and looks dramatic but most doctors say that it does not cause permanent vision and eye damage.  Another distressing thing about it is that it spreads rapidly and easily.  Pinkeye can be passed on by touching a contaminated person or by touching something that they touched.

Even scarier is that in the summertime Pinkeye can spread through the water in the swimming pool.

Chamomile Tea

Chamomile Tea Bags are the best home remedy that I have found for Pinkeye.  All you need to do is place a single, moist tea bag on each closed eye for about ten minutes.  Repeat the process every couple of hours immediately after you are sure you or your child has the infection. Be sure that the tea is 100% natural chamomile.

You can even wash your eyes with the tea using a small sterilized medicine cup or eye wash cup, or let the tea soak into a cotton ball and then hold it gently against your eyes.

Hair seems to be one of the banes of women.  It is either too straight, or too curly, too coarse or too fine.  It is either too think or worse yet, too thin.  Too thin or thinning hair is commonly one of the most emotionally devastating and self-confidence demoralizing complaints that women have.

Some people feel that reacting so strongly to a physic attribute such as hair may seem very vain, but I assure you that is not the case.  Everyone has had a bad hair day or two, but no one should ever have to lose self-confidence over their hair.   Your hair is one of the first thing people see when they see you along with the hair is the skin and nails.

Not only is it one of the first areas that people see when they see you, but it is the first area hormones attack when they decide to invade you.  In addition, poor nutrition and illness will attack your hair as well.

Believe it or not, but every person loses from 50 to 100 strands of hair per day. but if you lose more than that you could have what is frequently identified as excessive hair loss.  This will often times indicate that something in your body is not right.  We will come back to this in a few minutes.

A strand of hair is made up of dead cells. Everything you put into your body eventually comes out in your hair, usually within three to six months.  Hair grows from living follicles in the skin of the scalp.  So why do certain hair follicles break their normal cycle and switch into a resting or “off” position — temporarily or permanently (causing hair loss)? And why do some women experience thinning hair on their head and darker thicker hair on other parts of their bodies (see our Facial Hair Removal post)? The reasons are highly individual, but can include any combination of the following:

• Blood loss
• Cosmetics (allergies and harsh treatments)
• Dental treatment
• Disease
• Drugs
• Genetics
• Hormonal imbalance, specifically androgen sensitivity
• Immune system irregularities
• Nutritional deficiencies (especially iron or vitamin A)
• Radiation/chemotherapy
• Scarring
• Stress (emotional and physical)
• Surgery
• Thyroid disorders

The thing to emphasize about the resting phase is that it is designed to be temporary. Hair follicles can be shocked into the resting phase by so many stressors — emotional, physical or cosmetic — and just as suddenly switch back to “on” when the stress is reduced. Hair appears to be amazingly adaptive.

No one knows for sure why some women maintain a thick, natural head of hair throughout their lives while others don’t.

You often hear of hair loss after a pregnancy or change in hormonal birth control. It is also a very common side effect of emotional stress (like a death or divorce) and physical stress (such as surgery or illness).

There are also dietary causes of hair losses, such as vitamin D, vitamin A, iron and protein deficiencies.

Some women may experience periods of noticeable hair loss (and growth) at different times in their menstrual cycle, or during different seasons. If this is your experience, be assured that it is very common and tends to resolve itself naturally.

If hair loss does not improve with some basic stress reduction and positive lifestyle changes there is a good chance that you have low iron.  I noticed that when I take pre-natal vitamins (even when I am not pregnant and not planning on getting pregnant) that my hair grows thicker, longer and faster.  This is said to be because of the extra iron in pre-natal vitamins.

Here are some natural hair loss solutions — the Women to Women approach:

If your hair loss is mild to moderate, the most important thing to do is weigh the immediate stressors in your life against how much support you’re giving your body. Start with an honest inventory of your healthy and not-so-healthy habits. Then take some steps toward shifting the balance to the support side. Here’s what we recommend:

1. Eliminate dietary causes of hair loss. Eat a balanced diet comprised of whole, protein-rich foods — the more organic the better. Avoid or limit refined sugar and other simple carbohydrates to ameliorate insulin resistance. Read how in our Nutritional and Lifestyle Guidelines.
2. Address vitamin deficiency hair loss. Take a rich multivitamin daily that includes hair-healthy vitamins such as B, C,  E and Iron. Other important nutrients are calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc. A fish oil supplement containing vitamin D and essential fatty acids will help boost immunity and soothe inflammation.
3. Consider herbal supplements. Kelp-derived supplements add iodine to the diet, which assists in the manufacture of thyroid hormones. Ginkgo biloba increases blood flow to the scalp (without androgens).
4. Scalp massage and acupuncture can be helpful in stimulating blood flow to the scalp and supporting normal follicle function.
5. Balance your hormones. If you are premenopausal, consider gentle endocrine support to help naturally rebalance your hormones.
6. Examine your emotional health and your relationship with anger. Rage may be associated with higher levels of testosterone. Finding healthy ways to express yourself and your anger can go a long way toward reducing stress. If you are under severe psychological stress, your hair loss should improve a few months after the stress is relieved.

Remember that the condition of your hair mirrors what’s going on inside your body. It only makes sense to consider natural options that nurture your whole health before you spend a lot of money on expensive shampoos, conditioners and hair thickening products. (My friend has excessive hair growth though and she began using Rogaine for Men and swears up and down that it helps significantly).  Overall however, I think that nurturing your health from the inside out, including your emotional health, should improve the quality and quantity of your hair, as well as your life!

Embarassed By Facial Hair

Facial hair and excessive facial hair is a rather common annoyance that affects a number of women the world over.  Facial hair makes you feel really awkward, especially while face to face with people.  If you are able to tolerate the hair or combat it the ingrown hairs may be what is your irritant.

Some women get unwanted hair on the face because of hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, or they get it just because of who they are.  During puberty, the testosterone level in a woman is at its highest, causing hair growth on the face. Also, when a woman’s estrogen level drops and there is overproduction of androgens, it manifests itself through facial hair.

There are many ways to get rid of facial hair permanently. The methods are not necessarily painful and cumbersome like waxing, threading or tweezing.  However, do keep in mind that you won’t see results overnight. You need to have patience for good results.

• Gently rubbing a Pumice Stone
  over the growth everyday has a permanent effect eventually.
• Another useful product in unwanted hair removal is gram flour. Make a paste of gram and milk or water along with a pinch of Turmeric Powder. Spread the pack all over your face and let it dry completely. When it dries off, scrape it off by rubbing it a little strongly in the opposite direction of hair growth. This is an essential step as the unwanted hair has to be displaced. Wash your face after the procedure is over.
• Turmeric Powder is also effective in removal of excessive facial hair. Make a paste using water, rose water and yogurt. Add a dash of turmeric to the mixture, and apply to the face. When it dries, wash it off properly. Just take care that turmeric doesn’t leave behind any stains, as it has a rather strong color that doesn’t wash off easily.
• You can also take lemon, sugar and water and make a mixture of them. Apply it on your face in the same direction as your hair grows. Let it dry for about fifteen minutes and later remove it with cold water.

Apart from these remedies, you need to stay healthy and stress-free. Do everything you can to steer clear of stress because stress has a direct impact on facial hair growth control. Being stress free would be good for your health and also guard against excessive facial hair growth. If you follow these remedies dedicatedly, you will notice effective results.

Juicing, also known as a liquid diet, is a great way to cleanse and heal the body.

What happens to the body during juicing: During juicing body toxins are cleaned from the entire body at the cellular level.  The first few days, especially the first, you may experience hunger pains or even a bit of weakness.  This is normal and will dissipate if you stick with it.  In addition to hunger pains and weakness you may also experience a headache the first few days.  Neither my husband or I got a headache however both of us were acutely aware of every part of our body.

In addition to physical side affects you may also experience mental side affects such as negativity and discouragement.  You may even want to quit, but stick with this and the rewards will be worth all of the discouragement.

So people have said that doing breathing and mental exercises helps with both side affects.

Some other side affects you may experience is acne, extra perspiration, heightened body odor, increased smell of stools, dark urine and a coated tongue or extra mucus in the throat.

How to make your Body Cleanse the best possible: To get the most benefit from your juice fast be sure to not put undue stress upon your body.  You will not be ingesting as many calories so be careful if you participate in any exercise that you do not overdo it.  I believe that to get the best affect from your body cleanse that you should also perform a simultaneous parasite purge.  This gives an extra boost to your intestines/colon and liver.

How much should I drink: To determine how much liquids you should ingest take your weight divided by 2.  That is the number of ounces at a minimum you should drink each day.  For example:  I weigh 135 ponds, Divided by 2 equals 67.5 ounces.  Breaking that down into 8 ounces cups means that I need to ingest at a minimum 8 1/2 cups of juice per day.  That is in addition to the minimum 8 cups of water that I need to drink and any cups of herbal tea that I choose to drink.  (Note:  Your urine should be clear while juice fasting.  If it is not then you are not drinking enough water.)

Weight / 2 = Ounces of Juice to Drink

Why  should I juice instead of just eat raw or steamed fruits and vegetables: Fruits and Vegetables contain what is known as insoluble fiber.  Insoluble fiber stimulates the body, primarily the intestines to move.  During this process you want your body to focus on healing and cleaning itself, not to move.  Drinking juice only will allow the body to absorb the nutrients with the least amount of work.   By allowing everything to flow quickly through and empty the intestines then then digestive enzymes are able to better dissolve the rest of the gunk in the corners and folds of the intestines and colon.

I was watching the news the other day and received a shock when I saw a young boy (age 2 or younger) that was literally being eaten from the inside out by parasites that he picked up somehow.  I have always known that the human body has parasites.  In fact when I was younger my mom would make us take medicine twice a year for this purpose.  She said living on a farm she never knew what we would pick up.

I was reading an article in national geographic… or discovery… I forget which, but it mentioned that why every generation prior to modern times made de-worming a regular part of their lives, but our generation chooses to ignore this basic practice. We recognize that people in third world countries have parasites, but seem to disregard that here in the good ole United States of America that we are not immune to the same fate as all other humans on the planet.

American’s may recognize that all of the animals we eat and pets who live in our homes have an innumerable number of parasites and worms, but we seem to dismiss the notion that we as civilized people might also have foreign entities living within us as well.

My husband and I frequently have talked about doing a parasitic flush but never got around to it until I watched the news and literally was put into action from what I saw.  I will not explain it to you because it is abhorring, but if you are really interested just go to YouTube and type in intestinal parasites or intestinal worms into the video search and you can see for yourself.

If you just are interested in how to perform a parasitic flush jump to the bottom of this post, but if you want to know a bit more keep reading.

What are some common symptoms of parasites in humans?

Constipation, Diarrhea, Gas and Bloating, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Joint and Muscle Aches and Pains, Anemia, Allergies, Skin Conditions, Nervousness, Sleep Disturbances, Tooth Grinding/Clenching, Chronic Fatigue, Excess Weight Gain, Immune System Dysfunctions.

What are parasites?

A parasite is an organism that lives off the host, the host being you or me. The parasites live a parallel life inside our bodies, feeding off our energy, our cells or the food we eat.  They even feed off the health supplements we use.

You may ask the question:  How do I have a parasite and not know about it?  Well the answer is simple.  The purpose of a parasite is to not make itself known. A smart parasite lives without being detected because if it is detected, of course, something is going to be done to eradicate it.

Parasites are a major cause of illness, cancer, and yes obesity.  Parasites in humans deprive the body of proper nutrients and leave you only empty calories as leftovers. The body starts to crave more food as it is starved for the vitamins and minerals.

In addition to a loss of nourishment and cellular damage, the toxicities produced by the parasites cause problems with our immune system and degrade the optimum health of us, their host.

What parts of the body should we clean first?

The Colon

The colon is often the most neglected and forgotten part of the body, but is out first priority to cleanse because the liver dumps all of its toxins into the colon to be removed.  Every organ in the body is fed by the bloodstream, which is supplied by the bowel.  When your bowels are dirty then your blood is dirty and in affect  your organs become so also.  If your colon is constipated/clogged the toxins are then reabsorbed by the liver causing it to dump its excess toxins back into that stubborn fat.

Did you know according to many experts that you can have up to 5 – 25 lbs. of fecal matter stored in your colon?

By detoxifying your colon first, it will jump start the removal of all the unwanted toxins that have been stored in your fat over the years.  You should be having ideally at least 3-4 bowel movements a day. If you only have a bowel movement once a week you are severely toxic.

The Liver

Think of your liver as a big sponge that filters out all the bad stuff and the colon as the dump where is everything is taken to be removed.  If the dump is full, then it overflows back into the system where it was removed to begin with.

Did you know body fat is a symptom of parasites?

The organs in your body such as your kidneys, liver, intestines and colon are your body‘s own natural detoxification system but as you eat bad food it is not as able to keep up.  So the body begins to store fat.  Fat is stored as a way to protect your vital organs from
more toxicity building up.  Doctors have said that a sure sign that you have toxic buildup is fat around the midsection, buttocks and/or thighs.  This also is a good indicator that your liver is not functioning at its optimal level.  As you remove the toxins and parasites rom your body you will also be removing some of the fat.

So I suppose a side affect of this parasitic detoxification or body cleanse is the potential to lose body fat and weight.

Some more scary and eye-opening facts about parasites:

• *Medical textbooks have estimated that over 150 million people in America alone suffer from intestinal parasite infection.
• *Over 55 million American children have worms.
• *Once in the intestinal tract, parasites have easy access to other parts of the body where they imitate various symptoms and diseases. Even worse, it can enlarge the liver, invade the lungs, brain and skin, and can cause grave complications.
• *According to the National Geographic award-winning documentary, The Body Snatchers. “In fact, parasites have killed more humans than all the wars in history”, discover magazine published a feature article in its August 2000 issue: “Every living
  thing has at least one parasite that lives inside or on it, and many, including humans, have far more.
• *Many doctors call it the ―silent epidemic, affecting 8 out 10 Americans.
• *Human can play host to over 100 different kinds of parasites ranging from microscopic to tapeworms that are several feet long.
• *The quickest way for parasites to enter our bodies is through contaminated food, improperly washed fruits and vegetables, and insufficiently cooked meats.

How to cleanse your Colon and Liver:

There are 4 vital ingredients cleanse you Colon and Liver Effectively.  You need to use them together.  I will first tell you about each item and then I will tell you how to do this for yourself and how you should reduce the dose for children.   I have 2 sons who I love and adore and I want them parasite free also but the adult dose taken very long could be harmful to a child.

• *Psyllium Husks Fiber or Oat Bran Fiber-   Everyone knows the benefits of fiber, but in case you are unsure of why we will be using it in this process I will explain.  Fiber creates intestinal volume to promote and eliminate constipation.  When used along with the senna leaf below it should rapidly flush all the toxins from your body without causing diarrhea.  You should be consuming 20-35 grams of fiber a day just to maintain a normal healthy colon, but taking this along with your meals you will be giving your body a great jump start.  Psyllium Husk and Oat Bran Fiber are bulk forming soluble fibers that act as scrub brushes inside your colon. When it reaches your colon it swells up and absorbs toxic material that is lining your intestines, it especially helps dislodge the toxic waste from the crevices and folds of the colon. This is then passed as a spongy, jelly-like, mucous-filled mass that is now removed from your colon. It is taking with it all the parasites and yeast that have called your colon home for many years.
• *Milk Thistle Seed Extract- This herb is the best way to detoxify and cleanse your liver. The dried fruit of milk thistle contain a flavonoid complex known as silymarin. Milk Thistle Extract protects the cells of the liver by blocking the entrance of harmful toxins and helping remove these toxins from the liver cells. The liver is your body‘s filtration system for all harmful substances that enter it. The healthier and cleaner your liver is, the better it can perform in detoxifying and purifying your body to remove the toxins that are stored in your fat.  Many people also believe that taking milk thistle seed extract acts as a protection from environmental toxins, such as second hand smoke, pesticides, environmental pollution and other such harmful things around us each and every day.  It also simulates protein synthesis which helps the body regenerate after injury.  Another added benefit is that it acts as an all natural stress reliever and has rarely been reported to irritate people’s stomachs or have side affects.  This stuff is the next best thing to wonder in a bottle.
• *Cascara Sagrada Bark or Senna Leaf- This is a safe non-habit forming laxative. It is not like the laxatives you buy over the counter in a drugstore that has harmful chemicals in it. This promotes the regular and consistent bowel function. If the toxins are not flushed out daily, re-absorption occurs and the liver is now working overtime. Cascara sagrada bark and Senna leaf are the main ingredients to stimulate bowel movements. Even though you are taking fiber as part of this process and it also aides bowel movements you need to flush the toxins from your body quickly, and therefore need to take this in the beginning.  Eventually, once you become regular and you body has rid itself of the initial high toxin levels you will not need to take these supplements/teas to enhance your bowel movements. Your body will become regular on its own, because now it has removed all the toxic garbage from your colon.  (I am not using the senna leaf for my children… see why below)
• *Anti-Parasite Herbal Remedy (Black Walnut Hulls, Wormwood, and Cloves (or clove oil))- There are 3 main herbs that are needed to kill the parasites and their eggs. They should be included in your colon cleanse and taken at the same time.  The 3 herbs are Black Walnut Hulls, Wormwood, and Cloves. These three herbs must be used together. Black walnut hull and wormwood kill adults and developmental stages of at least 100 parasites. Cloves kill the eggs. Only if you use them together will you rid yourself of parasites. If you kill only the adults, the tiny stages and eggs will soon grow into new adults. If you kill only the eggs, the million stages already loose in your body will soon grow into adults and make more eggs. They must be used together as a single treatment.

I have found all of the items in a liquid and/or powder form.  This is easy to administer to kids (and mommy and daddy) without them knowing (or us having to taste it).  I have been doing this by making my kids a 100% natural no sugar soy milk and strawberry smoothie each day.  After I make the smoothie I just add the above items and stir well, they can’t tell the difference.  They are so excited to get a yummy treat and I am so excited that they have no idea what else I am giving them.  They never leave a drop of smoothie so I know they are getting everything.

Children’s Doses:

Black Walnut Hulls: Children follow the same parasite program as adults through day 5. On days 6 to 10, take the following:

Wormwood and Cloves: Children should take the adult dosage for the number of days that they are old.  For instance my four year old takes this for 4 days.  Then stop.

It is not advisable for children to be on Black Walnut Hulls, Wormwood or Cloves long term.  You may want to administer this dosage a few times a year (I am doing it twice a year) or whenever the child gets and illness (I am administering in the winter when the kids get sick and the summer when they run around barefoot picking up all the little germs).  Talk to your pediatrician if you have questions.

Senna Leafor Cascara Sagrada… Why I am not using it for the children: Senna Leaf or Cascara Sagrada is only used in this process to flush the body quickly of the waste build up.  This is important in adults because we have a lot of buildup over many years, however for children it may not be safe.  My kids are young and do not have the years and years of build up that occurred in the body of me and my husband.

Senna Leaf and Cascara Sagrada are natural laxatives.  If used improperly they can cause dehydration and discomfort.  I plan on loading my kids up on water, that along with the fiber should be enough for them.  My kids love adult water bottles instead of sippy cups, they think they are big boys and drink more when they have a neat-o bottle to put it in.  So some re-usable water bottles at the dollar store work wonders to keep them drinking tons of water.

That is the last thing to remember.  DRINK LOTS OF WATER! Yes I just yelled that from the roof of my house.  Drink tons of water.

Why should I use natural oils in massage blends?

This may seem like a simple question to most, but I can assure you with the popularity of synthetic oils and their frequent cheaper costs it is not always a simple answer.

The synthetic oils, petroleum products, and mineral oils create a barrier on the skin.  This may seem helpful on first read, however it is quite the opposite.  The barrier on the skin does not allow your skin to breathe.  Vegetable oils are closer to natural human oils and are just plain better for you.

Unfortunately, most commercial cosmetics contain mineral or synthetic oils.  And if you go for a massage, a budget conscious masseuse may also be using these products.  (note:  Make sure if you get a massage that you ask for natural vegetable oil)

Do not skimp on this for the recipes you make at home.

If you have children you are no native to scrapes and minor irritations.

Calendula Infused Oil is used for topical healing of minor skin irritations.  All you need to make it is:

• 2 parts extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 part dried Calendula blossoms (did you know Calendula and marigolds are the same thing)

1. Combine the olive oil and Calendula blossoms in the top of a double boiler.  Simmer gently for approximately one hour.
2. Strain the cooled mixture through a double layer of cheesecloth.  Store in a cool, dark location, where it will keep for 3 to 6 months.

Each winter as the cold sets in so does congestion in the chest.  If it isn’t chest congestion then it is a sinus infection or head cold.  It is at these times that I really like having this peppermint inhalation to clear my head and make my entire body feel better.

This is very simple to make.  All you need is 1 quart of water and 1/2 to 1 cup fresh peppermint.

Combine the water and peppermint into an enamel or stainless steel saucepan.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer uncovered on the stove top.  This will release benefits if you are in the same room as the mixture.

Or as an alternative put the mixture into a simmering potpourri pot, which can be placed in any room that you choose.   Or during the simmering stage you can move the pot away from the stove and stand over it with a towel over your head to breathe in the vapors in close range.  Getting the full effect.

Do not allow the mixture to boil dry; add more water as needed.
