Oil Pulling- A Simple Detox

So before you begin reading this, let me say that I am prepared to hear words of doubt, confusion, and just plain ol' 'are you crazy?!' concerns. I know this because I have been sharing this simple practice with a few friends, and they all looked at me with the side eye, as if this is something I learned from of a cult.

But seriously, this is an opportunity to hear results before you jump on the bandwagon.

Simply put, oil pulling is a form of detoxing and cleansing the body. It is so easy, and close to free- so right up my alley when it comes to time and cost. Also, please note that this method of detoxing has been performed by many for ages, and has been identified as a best practice for healing the body.

Choose the oil of your choice. I prefer coconut oil, but other oils work just as well; sunflower, safflower.

Throw a spoonful of oil in your mouth, (don't swallow), swish around for about 15 - 20 minutes. You can do this daily, weekly, or several times a day if you wish. Anyone should be able to practice this detoxing method. The oil should never be consumed or swallowed. This prevents it from entering the digestive system, meaning it will not effect any medications.

I challenge you to try it for a week and you'll quickly see that the results are amazing! My gums are pinker, and my teeth and overall mouth feel cleansed. Seeking fresh breath and a success story for your oral hygiene. Try this!!

Moroccan Red Clay - hair and beauty treatments

Red clay is one of my recent discoveries. I came across the name numerous times while surfing the Internet, and only read great reviews. I decided to make a purchase a few months back, and finally put this clay to use. Most of you know that I have tried several clays, and have been satisfied with each one. I try to keep them on hand and tend to use them more for my hair than for my face or body. My favorite clays are Indian clay and Kaolin clay. Simply add water, aloe vera juice, and/or apple cider vinegar, and you've created an instant paste. The amount of liquid used will of course be based on what you're creating; facial, hair conditioner, foot application, etc. Red clay can also be used on the body, head to toe. It has been used for centuries- across the world. Tackle blemishes or create cleaner and clearer skin. Alleviate acne, discoloration and create youthful skin. If you are suffering from any of...

Shower Steamers

If you're a big fan of showers, plus love aromatherapy, than shower steamers are a must-have. So quick and simple to make, and the benefits are pretty amazing too. While showering and doing whatever it is that you're doing in the shower, you can easily multi-task and take on a mind blowing aromatherapy treatment. I love lavender for relaxing, and eucalyptus when I'm feeling ill. How about lemongrass for an early morning pick-me-up, or perhaps, just because you want your bathroom to smell like flowers as you're showering. My homemade steamers (lemongrass, cucumber melon, and lavender). I keep mine in a sealed tight bag until they are ready to be used. This ensures the scent is locked in. Because the steamers can be somewhat pricey in the stores, maybe consider making them at home for pennies. Here are a few options, that offer a variety of scent concoctions, and a little creativity too if inter...

good for me
