Rooibos- Healing With Tea

Rooibos (Roy-boos) tea, or African red tea, has been a popular drink amongst South Africans for generations. More recently, it has become a favorite tea across the world and has now made its way into my home. It was suggested to me as a natural remedy for my allergy attacks, brought on by the outdoors. I noticed a huge improvement, and almost instantly. I have also experienced positive changes with my digestive system. Needless to say, I'm a fan! This tea is packed with antioxiodants, has a pretty nice taste, and has very few, if any side effects. The only that I have read about were a possible uspet or nauseated feeling and or loose stool- may occur when you first drink it. However, most people have no side effects. It's caffeine free and can pretty much be consumed all day every day, as it only helps the system inside and out. The more, the better, as your body will love it!! Red tea can works on all parts of the body- healing and preventing illnesses and diseases,

My Three C's

Coconut oil, cucumber, cod liver oil!  These are three products that you will want to get your hands on after reading this post.  I've found them to be life savers in countless ways. These are all-natural, good-for-you products, easy to get your hands on, and super affordable! Coconut oil does wonders for the body, and in so many ways. I started using the oil in my hair this past summer, but have since discovered the many other benefits I could use in my life.  Of course you can cook with coconut oil, but try using this product for soothing and healing dead skin. Massage into the dry areas of the body, including the scalp, and you'll quickly see a noticeable improvement.  Experience growth in your eyelashes by gently rubbing on your lashes daily.   I only use organic virgin coconut oil to ensure that I get the most use out of the oil, as this is naturally unrefined View the link to see additional pros of coconut oil. http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/organic-coconut
