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 the mentioned issues, consider red clay as a natural, affordable remedy.

I most recently applied the clay to my hair for a cleanser/conditioner. My hair was softer and easier to comb through than normal, but I found that Bentonite (Indian) clay and kaolin gave me better results. In the future, I plan to only use red clay for skin concerns.

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
