Skin is the largest and one of the most intriguing organs of the body, accounting for 16 per cent of body weight. The Skin is composed of cells, sweat pores, and sebaceous glands. Natural homemade recipes for your skin are simple to make and cost-effective. Virgin coconut oil/butter makes for a good moisturizer by providing a protective layer that locks in natural moisture.

Banana peel contains a substance that is highly effective at destroying warts. Tea’s tannic acid absorbs oils that lead to blemishes.

Baking soda acts as a deodorizer and soothes the skin. Avoid excessive amounts of caffeine or alcohol.

Homemade Gift Idea – Bath Bombs Or Bath Fizzies

January 15th, 2010 · Bath Salt Recipes






Such an unfortunate but catchy name, bath bombs or bath fizzies make a great homemade gift idea because they are one of those luxurious indulgences that people often do not buy for themselves, but love to receive as a gift. They will certainly appreciate them when they realize that they are homemade gifts. You have probably seen them at bath boutiques, but basically bath bombs are balls of baking soda and citric acid that when dropped in water dissolve, effervesce, and releases the scents or other ingredients you put in them. Its kind of like bathing in bathtub full of seltzer water. It can be a soothing and therapeutic experience.

There are a couple of ways to make them. Here is the method based off a tutorial from teachsoap.com:

Ingredients:

Citric Acid… A powder that you can find here at brambleberry.com. You also might be able to find it at a local winemaking/brewing shop.

Baking Soda… Should be easy enough to find, check in your cupboard or refrigerator.

Witch Hazel… You can find this at here at brambleberry.com, otherwise you might find it at your local health food store or pharmacy.

Fragrance or Essential Oil… You can find this at, yep, you guessed it, brambleberry.com, or your local heath food store..

Clear Spherical Molds… There is quite a selection at soapequipment.com. They have molds and bath bomb kits at brambleberry.com but no plain spherical ones. I have also heard of people using ice cube trays.

You can tint them with food coloring, but I think they look fine as is. It’s a matter of preference. If you do use food coloring make sure you only use a few drops per batch, otherwise it might stain someone’s tub.

The process:

It is a bit tricky at first. You might have a bad batch or two in the beginning, or a have few bath bombs that fall apart, but don’t get discouraged, you will get the hang of it..

Thoroughly mix 1 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of the citric acid. Make sure it is mixed well and there are no lumps. Add your fragrance and color. Fragrances are your preference, but I enjoy essential oils like lavender or peppermint. If you are using food coloring, make sure to only use a few drops. Lightly spray on the witch hazel while mixing. You want to spray enough on so the mixture just starts to stick together. Too much and the mixture will start bubbling and reacting. Just after the mixture starts to stick together, press into the molds. Make sure you squeeze the mold halves together hard. Wait a few minutes, then tap them out of the molds. Let sit a few hours or overnight, and then they’ll be ready for wrapping.

I have also seen some recipes that include epsom salt in the dry mixture, and almond oil to help keep the ball together. Some recipes also include cornstarch, which I personally would advise against, as it has been mentioned that it might irritate a rash or make it worse. There are conflicting views on this, but I leave it out to be safe.

I used clear colored wrapping and raffia ribbon for the presentation of the gift.

They make a great addition to other homemade bath products in a gift basket.

Homemade Beauty Recipes Made From All Natural Products

January 14th, 2010 · Bath Salt Recipes






Who said that beauty couldn’t be easy and inexpensive? The traditional beauty trend is that the more expensive a product is, the better it must be. Nonsense. You can create your own beauty products at home for very little.

Beauty products can claim that they are organic or natural on the bottles but be not totally truthful. The actual natural products can comprise a small part of the cream, oil, or shampoo. The fillers and other preservatives in the products could be irritating to even the healthiest of faces.

Using your own beauty products keeps you from having to deal with the cosmetic companies and their sometime exaggerated claims. Natural beauty is a dying art. In ancient times, cosmetics -face paint as they called it – and medicines had natural origins. Today, these things are created from formulas in the lab. Improvements in these industries meant artificial ingredients. For makeup, your skin could be affected.

There’s nothing wrong with starting over without preservatives. Natural beauty recipes use vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers as their base. Whatever you buy, try to stick with ones that have not been treated with weed killers or insect sprays. These chemicals could make their way into your beauty regimen.

1. Lemons – They are tart but true to your skin. Lemons can ease a sore throat and also lighten dark spots on the skin. As a natural astringent, it pulls impurities out of the skin leaving it smooth and beautiful. Half a lemon is all you need to rub away many skin problems. Mix a bit of reduced lemon juice with water for a naturally lemon scented hair spray.

2. Roses – Red, white, yellow, or pink, they are all fragrant and beautiful. Rose petals are soft and when added to a hot bath, transfer that fragrance to your body. You can create your own all natural rose water by steeping roses and adding a bit of coconut milk.

3. Strawberries – They make the best shortcake and fruit glazes. The seeds are murder on your bridgework but great for removing dead skin. Combined with coarse salt and olive oil, strawberries and their seeds make a perfect natural exfoliate for the body.

4. Bananas – Cream one and use it as a beauty treatment. Bananas contain an important electrolyte in the body – potassium. Restore the moisture balance in your skin with a ****** mask made from banana. Mix your creamed bananas with egg white and yogurt to create the mask.

5. Honey – Honey contains a wealth of antibacterial properties for a healthy body. Those properties can be transferred to the skin with a honey ****** mask. For dry skin, mix some natural honey with cooked oatmeal. Oily skin requires an astringent like vinegar in combination with the honey. Splash your face with warm water to open pores and then apply the all natural mask.

Natural beauty treatments are cost efficient and effective. In addition, you avoid exposing your skin to the irritating fillers and chemicals that come in many commercial beauty products. Whip up a batch on a weekly basis and pamper yourself. It’s a small sacrifice for a lifetime of beauty.

New Organic Skin Care Recipes To Treat Various Ailments Naturally

January 11th, 2010 · Bath Salt Recipes






Whether it is a tired eyes, wrinkles, insect bites or burns, there are times that things can happen to your skin. With the following organic skin care recipes and tips, you can treat various ailments naturally, leaving behind many of the man made pollutants that are absorbed into our bodies through most over the counter aids.

Insect Bites

Recipe #1: Mix 1 drop of organic almond essential oil and 2 tablespoons baking soda and 4 tablespoons of distilled water to form a paste. Apply to bite and let sit for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water and pat dry

Recipe #2: Mix 8 ounces distilled water with 2 tablespoons Epsom Salt. Apply compress made of a wash cloth soaked this mixture.

Oily Skin/ Acne

Recipe #1: Make a mask of 1/4 organic apple (cored but unpeeled), 1 organic egg white, 1/2 organic lemon (peeled and deseeded), 30 organic Thompson seedless grapes, 4 tablespoons organic watercress (finely chopped). Blend all ingredients on medium for 3 minutes. Apply to face using cotton balls and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Recipe #2: Mix 1/4 cup organic yogurt (plain) with 1 tablespoon brewer’s yeast. The mixture should be runny; if not, add a bit more brewers yeast. Apply to oily zones and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Recipe #3: Mix 1/2 cup organic oat flour, juice from 1/2 organic orange, and 1 teaspoon organic honey. Apply to face and let sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Scrapes

Recipe #1: This remedy should be made in advance and kept for times when it is needed. First you will need to create 4 special oils. You will need organic extra virgin olive oil, three airtight, glass jars and 4 fresh organic herbs: calendula, plantain, red clover, and St. Johns Wort.

Let the herbs wilt for one day, then put each type in its own jar and cover the herbs with olive oil. Close the jars and leave in direct sunlight for two weeks. Strain oil to use. Once your oils are made, you will need 1/4 cup of each of your special oils and 1 cup organic beeswax.

Melt the oils and beeswax in a large, microwave safe bowl, pour into an airtight, glass jar and let cool. If the mixture is too runny after completely cooling, you need to add a bit more beeswax and melt again, if it is too thick, add a bit more oil and melt again. Apply to wounds when needed much like you would with ready made antibacterial ointments.

Recipe #2:Soak the area with Epsom Salt dissolved in warm water. This is easiest done by taking a warm bath with 2 cups of Epsom Salt in it.

Splinters

Recipe #1: Soak the area with Epsom Salt dissolved in warm water. This is easiest done by taking a warm bath with 2 cups of Epsom Salt in it. Because Epsom Salt draws toxins out of the skin and acts as an anti inflammatory, this bath will draw the splinter to the surface.

Recipe #2: Bandage a thin slice of organic potato over the splinter and let stay overnight. Potato draws things out of the skin and the splinter should be to the surface by morning.

Sunburn Relief

Recipe #1: Mix 5 organic cucumbers (pureed) and 2 1/2 cups powdered milk in a bowl. Pour mixture into tepid/warm bath and soak burned areas for 20 minutes. The mixture can be applied directly to the burned skin, if you prefer.

Recipe #2: Soak the burned area with Epsom Salt dissolved in warm water. This is easiest done by taking a tepid/warm bath with 2 cups of Epsom Salt in it.

Tired Eyes

Grate raw potato and wrap in cheesecloth. Apply to eyelids for 20 minutes, wiping the starchy residue away before applying makeup.

Wrinkles:

Recipe # 1: Cut organic Thompson seedless grapes in half and crush on wrinkles, especially near eyes and mouth. Leave the juice on your face for 20 minutes then rinse with warm water, repeat daily.

Recipe # 2: Mash a very ripe organic banana extremely well, apply to entire face and leave for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

About Aromatherapy Recipes – A Beginners’ Guide

January 2nd, 2010 · Aromatherapy






If you are interested in the art of aromatherapy, then this article is just the right place for you to start learning about aromatherapy recipes. The sense of smell has a great power on our system, and it is highly capable of invoking a strong emotional reaction. In fact, smell is one of the most powerful and also the most underrated of our senses! Aromatherapy today is widely used for various therapeutic reasons, and has an immediate subtle effect on our body, mind and spirit!

A Do-It-Yourself Art

The correct use of smells can help in relaxation, provide refreshment, sedate or even stimulate! Although the art seems a bit difficult and complicated to learn in the beginning, with all the various essential oils, bath salts and even aromatic candles, you will find that you can easily get the hang of aromatherapy recipes with a little bit of patience and dedication. And very soon you will be concocting your own special aromatherapy recipes for bath salts and massage oils!

Many people are under the misconception that aromatherapy involves the complex use of strange pieces of equipment and equally complicated procedures! They couldn’t be more wrong! The entire mystery about aromatherapy recipes can be explained with just a few basic guidelines about mixing oils and some examples.

The Basics Of Creating Scents

The first step, obviously, is determining what kind of effect you need from the scent. As mentioned above, aromatherapy recipes can be made for various uses – whether you need to relax after a long, tiring day at work; or to get rid of those stubborn backaches or migraines; or for a sensual massage for your special someone. Aromatherapy oils can be used for different moods at different times, and also for healing.

Once you have decided on what you need the recipe for, you need to look up the essential oils which create that mood or have that effect you desire. A simple rule of the thumb, about aromatherapy recipes, is to always use similar oils together in a recipe. For example, if you want a soothing floral essence in your bath oil, you can mix Lavender and Rose in any basic carrier oil. If you want something spicy and invigorating, you can use a citrus smell combined with Myrrh.

For creating room fresheners, add 20-30 drops of an essential oil, like Lemon or Pine, into an ounce of distilled water in a spritzer, a simple spray bottle easily found at any drug store. Bath salts are another easy recipe to prepare. Just mix 10 drops of your favorite essential oil with about 2 cups of a bath salt, like Epsom salts, and add a few drops of moisturizing carrier oil.

Points To Remember

An important thing to know about aromatherapy recipes is that these oils are highly volatile and instable, and they are extremely sensitive to ultraviolet radiations. Also, they react with plastic. So you should always use a glass or porcelain bowl or bottle for mixing and storing essential aromatherapy oils.

Another point to remember is that too much essential oil can cause skin irritation. So always be careful in mixing not more than 10 drops of essential oil in an ounce of carrier oil. And not all aromatherapy oils are safe to use on small children. So consult a licensed aroma-therapist to learn how to use the ingredients safely and for a better understanding about aromatherapy recipes.

Sea Salt Cleanse To Remove Toxins

January 2nd, 2010 · Aromatherapy






Aside from using sea salts as an additive to the bath, experts believe that sea salts help remove toxins and alleviate digestive symptoms when taken. Sea salts are also used as laxatives, which is a better choice for those suffering from digestive problems, rather than using the harsh, commercially available laxatives.

Being a necessary chemical for normal body functioning, many sports drinks contain salt since it can be depleted with physical exercise. With this in mind, we must first differentiate natural sea salts from processed and refined salts. Refined salts are removed of its minerals, unlike natural sea salts which have not undergone any refinement process. A sea salt cleanse removes the impurities from the digestive tract while providing the body the necessary minerals that otherwise may not be available in your diet. Do this with proper research and consultation from your doctor, especially those that suffer from severe disorders.

The sea salt cleanse can be easily done, starting with combining 2 teaspoons of unrefined sea salt with 2 quartz of warm water. People who find it hard to drink this should add lemon juice to make it more acceptable to drink. Each person may react differently to the process of using sea salt as laxative in flushing the system. It is best for the drink to be taken in the morning after you’re awake. Also, individuals who uses the sea salt cleanse will expect emptying their bowels a few hours they have taken the laxative. Basically the hard part of this is swallowing it down, but you will realize the rewards that you can get from it.

The sea salt cleanse will improve the digestive tract which will eventually lead to improved moods that might have been bothered of the digestive tract problem. Sea salt cleanse is also a common folk remedy for colds and sneezing due to allergic reactions. It is also possible for improved respiratory and sinus functions when using the sea salt cleanse. The cleanse will detoxify the body and balances electrolytes. It may also help normalize the heart rate and soothe muscle pains. Indirect benefits that have been reported includes fresher breath, reduced body odor and improvements to the skin.

Improper digestion may cause individuals to suffer from digestive complaints and fatigue. This might also be linked with the fact that modern diets are usually loaded with fats, chemicals, and toxins that can cause for the digestive tract to work with less efficiency. Sea salt cleanse will be helpful in these situations.

Make Better Bath Salts

January 2nd, 2010 · Aromatherapy






You finally have found something that you would want to make, bath salts. You start with the salts and the fragrance but somehow you feel like something is missing.

A lot of people are using bath salts, for medical and therapeutic reasons but is mostly used as a bath additive for cleaning the body and for relaxation. When making your own, you need basically two things: the salts – not just any ordinary salt but raw sea salt which can be found almost anywhere; and the fragrance of your choice or essential oil for added aromatherapy.

After making bath salts, you would want to make it look good and not look dull. The first thing you might probably want to put in is color, or colors depending on how you would want the salts to come out. The safest way to go at it is to color your bath salt depending on the fragrance you use, e.g. blue when using lavender fragrance. Or you can go wild, using multiple colors depending on how you want your it to come out. You could use either liquid food coloring, or you could use water-soluble powdered colorants for a wider range of colors to choose from. Some people find it hard to find the right strength of a certain color, you might even have to do some trial and error before achieving the right strength. You might also would want to add some herbs to accompany the color and fragrance of your salts.

Another way of making your bath salt stand out is by adding a small amount of dendritic salt to your bath salt mixture. Don’t be fooled by the impact of this small amount of salt to your mixture since it does have a huge impact. One, dendritic salt makes it better for the fragrance oils and colors to incorporate to your mixture. You can add the fragrance and color to the dendritic salt first before adding it to the main mixture since dendritic salts has basically twice the power of absorption. Two, because it absorbs better, dendritic salt makes the fragrance of the salt last longer. It also keeps the salt mixture from clumping when stored.

You can also use a better salt for your mixture. You can use dead sea salt in your bath salts instead. Why is this salt better? First off, the dead sea is well-known for its therapeutic and healing properties. The mineral composition of dead sea salts are greater than other salts. This is also one of the reasons why it has been a subject of a lot of studies and research. Choosing this as your base salt will make your bathing experience better. It has a single drawback though, it costs a little more than the other salts.

One thing also to keep in mind when you finished making the salts is that you would want to put it in a nice container. If you intend to keep the salts you’re making, any simple jar or plastic container would do. But if you intend on making a profit out of the salts you just made, then you might to be creative in making the container for the salt. You might also want to consider using transparent containers or containers where you can actually see what’s inside of them, specially when you add colors to your salts.
