The Ugly Feet Cure

Suffering from chapped skin, odor, rashes, or perhaps foot or nail fungus? As always, I will say that some symptoms call for medical attention and are possibly signs for underlying illnesses or ailments. But, if your symptoms appear to be payback for ignoring your feet for a period of time, the remedies/recipes mentioned may assist in getting your 'baby' feet back. Cconsider these easy tricks to avoid the shame in showing of your toes this Summer:

Foot Polish - *great for dry skin
Mix brown sugar with coconut oil, and massage concoction into feet. Pay close attention to cracks in heels. Wrap feet in plastic wrap for 30-45 minutes.

Foot Scrub- *address odor and cracks in feet
Mix cornstarch with aloe vera juice to form a mud-like paste. Rub small batch of mixture over feet. Cleanse with warm water once the product has set and completely dried out.

Foot Milk Bath- *soothe aches and pain for disgruntle toes
Mix warm milk and blueberries in a small tub/bucket/bowl. Let your feet rest in the bowl for 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Blueberries are packed with both vitamins a and c. This easy recipe will leave your feet soft to the touch and improve the overall appearance.

Foot Zest- *refresh and cleanse feet
Grind orange/and or lemon peels into a powder substance, along with essential oils like peppermint, rosemary, or eucalyptus. Rinse with fresh warm water. This will freshen your pretty toes in addition to clearing up fungus and bacteria. Perform this technique once every few days for about a week.

Foot Salt Scrub- *remove dead skin
Mix sea salt with coconut or olive oil. Vigorously rub on feet and wear a pair of old socks for an hour or so. The longer you wear the socks, the more effective this process will be.

I of course have my own homemade remedies that I prefer to use at times, but if you are in need of a quick fix, consider paying $20 and purchase Baby Feet at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Foot-Easy-Pack-1-2/dp/B00461F4PA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364397203&sr=8-1&keywords=baby+feet.

Introducing the Kiwi

So, the kiwi originated in China, but is now grown in the US, in addition to a few select countries. Here in America, the kiwi is pretty easy to find, and also reasonable in price. Believe it or not, this sweet fruit is jammed pack with vitamin C - even more than that of an orange! Also contains vitamin E, low in fat, and no cholesterol The two main claims floating around about the kiwi: 1. It's a natural energy booster! 2. It can effectively reduce asthma symptoms, and respiratory problems in general. It reduces heart problems and increases lung function. It has been suggested that a child suffering with asthma conditions can eat one to five kiwis weekly to reduce symptoms. I have personally embraced the kiwi because of the taste, plus it's a convenient snack. But, now my love for the kiwi has been placed on a higher level. Okay, that's a little extreme! But seriously, it's a fruit to consider trying, and if possible, introducing into your daily die

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend. It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair. My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils. I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc. Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours. It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal. The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment. View the sheen and length after treatment. This is a completely natural home remedy. Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.

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,

good for me
