There are many ways to balance PH which I’ve talked about in different areas of this blog but this particular post is on eczema and natural things we can do to alleviate, cure it. Click below to continue reading

Benefits of Wheatgrass
WHEATGRASS JUICE…

Increases red blood-cell count and lowers blood pressure. It cleanses the blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract of debris. Wheatgrass also stimulates metabolism and the body’s enzyme systems by enriching the blood. It also aids in reducing blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways throughout the body.
Stimulates the thyroid gland, correcting obesity, indigestion, and a host of other complaints.
Restores alkalinity to the blood. The juice’s abundance of alkaline minerals helps reduce over-acidity in the blood. It can be used to relieve many internal pains, and has been used successfully to treat peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis, constipation, diarrhea, and other complaints of the gastrointestinal tract.
Is a powerful detoxifier, and liver and blood protector. The enzymes and amino acids found in wheatgrass can protect us from carcinogens like no other food or medicine. It strengthens our cells, detoxifies the liver and bloodstream, and chemically neutralizes environmental pollutants.
Fights tumors and neutralizes toxins. Recent studies show that wheatgrass juice has a powerful ability to fight tumors without the usual toxicity of drugs that also inhibit cell-destroying agents. The many active compounds found in grass juice cleanse the blood and neutralize and digest toxins in our cells.
Contains beneficial enzymes. Whether you have a cut finger you want to heal or you desire to lose five pounds…enzymes must do the actual work. The life and abilities of the enzymes found naturally in our bodies can be extended if we help them from the outside by adding exogenous enzymes, like the ones found in wheatgrass juice. Don’t cook it. We can only get the benefits of the many enzymes found in grass by eating it uncooked. Cooking destroys 100 percent of the enzymes in food. 
Has remarkable similarity to our own blood. The second important nutritional aspect of chlorophyll is its remarkable similarity to hemoglobin, the compound that carries oxygen in the blood. Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, president of the Hagiwara Institute of Health in Japan, is a leading advocate for the use of grass as food and medicine. He reasons that since chlorophyll is soluble in fat particles, and fat particles are absorbed directly into the blood via the lymphatic system, that chlorophyll can also be absorbed in this way. In other words, when the “blood” of plants is absorbed in humans it is transformed into human blood, which transports nutrients to every cell of the body. For More Click Below

Herbal wines date back thousands of years. Egyptian wine jars have been found with residues of herbs and resins. It makes sense, as we now know that alcohol breaks down the medicinal constituents of plants, making it more bio-available to the body. That’s why we make alcohol extracts as herbal tinctures to deliver botanical chemicals to our body. The famous 12th century German mystic, Hildegard of Bingen, recommended herbal wines such as lungwort wine for emphysema, honey-parsley wine for heart pain, and unsweetened lavender wine for congested liver.

No other organisms on this planet have a greater potential for healing then Mushrooms.
When I was a little girl my Mom use to paint on these Conch and it would be my first experience with conch’s.. better known as Polypores.
I’m going to be working on collecting and documenting on this wonderful fungus and various other fungi’s will be added as time goes on. This will be an ongoing journey into the world of the mushrooms and their magical healing properties.
Artist’s Polypore
Most often found on old or decaying cottonwood, poplar, birch, and aspen, the shelf like artist polypore can inhabit conifers as well. Artist’s Conch gets its name from the change in color which occurs when the white underside of the conch is scratched. The scratched trace immediately turns brown, allowing artists to create intricate drawings on this natural “canvas.”
Description: Shelf-like, more or less flattened, and woody, Artist’s polypore has a gray top with concentric bands and a white under surface. The prolific release (up to 30 billion/day) Older specimens can grow very large. Size can range from 2” to 35” in circumference and 1” to 8” thick.

Making your own shampoo doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. This is a recipe for a dry shampoo that’s great for your hair and scalp, nutritious, stimulating, boosting hair growth, texture and shine.
Super easy recipe for a shampoo that you can create in your kitchen without having to purchase any additional products, most of these you will already have and if you don’t have them you will be able to find them at your local supermarket.
Dry Shampoo Recipe: 1 tablespoon powdered Orris root, 1 tablespoon cornmeal, and 1 tablespoon almonds.
You will need to finely grind the almonds, I use my mortar and pestle but what ever you have handy (coffee grinder, food processor) and so on will work fine. Blend almonds then add Orris root, cornmeal blend until well incorporated. Massage into scalp pulling down towards the end of the roots, repeat, massage well and then comb/brush out the mixture. Any small amounts that might remain will be washed out after your next shampooing

Vanilla was used both medically and spiritual healing in many worldwide tribes.
Labor intensive methods have to be used to cultivate vanilla which makes it the second most expensive flavouring after saffron. The highest concentration of vanilla is an absolute. A narcotic fragrance that seduces with its rich decadent layers of sweetness.
Vanilla aromatherapy benefits: warming, cheering, comforting, nurturing.
Vanilla -Licorice Solid Perfume: 10 drops vanilla absolute, 15 drops anise hyssop essential oil, 1 teaspoon jojoba oil, 1/2 teaspoon grated bee’s wax. Combine jojoba-vanilla-anise allow to synergise while you slowly melt the bee’s wax, method double broiler, hot plate. When melted and some what warm add oils to the bee’s wax continue to stir quickly, the wax and oils can’t get too hot or you risk losing the essential oils in the heat. Place in sterile container for later use, I would allow it to just rest for a day or two. Enjoy!

Salvia Officinalis Sage Despription & History

in Holistic Healing Cosmetics and Toiletries Tags: Healthy Hair, Healthy hair growth, Homemade hair recipes, Sage, Sage oil, Salvia officinalis, | Hair tips
Known to enhance foods and bring smiles to the faces of all who wait upon Grandmas famous stuffing sage has a medicinal history dating back to classical times as well.
Its botanical name derives from a Latin word meaning “I Save” The Greek physician Dioscorides wrote of it as “Sage The Saviour” and recommended it to treat headaches and nervous tension along with a number of other internal complaints.
Sage oil is extracted in the same manner as it was in historical times. Leaves placed on large drying racks left in the sun to dry before they are distilled.
Sage has a long running history of medicinal uses as a blood cleanser, spring tonic, cool a fever, appetite support, earache, skin conditions, wounds its noted that massage with sage included helps ease muscular tension and pain, even rheumatism.
But I’m here to share my hair care recipe using the beautiful Salvia Officinalis. So simple works wonders on your hair and scalp and takes just a few minutes to complete.
Sage Hair Oil: 1/4 cup Sage I used dried if you’re using fresh I would add 1/2 cup, one cup of two oils of your choice, I used mainly jojoba and a little organic coconut oil “warmed to blend before infusion” Infuse for two weeks in a cool dark place shake once a day, try to make sure the sage is not above the oil line, it should always be completely submerged in the oil. At the end of the two weeks remove all the plant matter and store in a clean air tight bottle.
It’s about having fun, experimenting with new ideas to create greener environments. I will be adding more to this recipe using cedar and rosemary incorporating different herbs and essential oils for different medical uses.
