Beauty From The Kitchen

Beauty From The Kitchen

Remember when your mother told you that true beauty was on the inside? Well she was right,thats where it all starts.You can smear all sorts of stuff on the outside,but if you are a toxic waste dump on the inside your beauty regimen won’t work as well or at all if you don’t clean your insides!

You can’t have clear skin and shiney hair if your intestines are clogged with toxins and poisons.Your skin reflects these conditions.Brown spots on hands and face are often the result of toxins built up in your intestines and liver.

There are many products out there to detoxify your body.One product that is used at my work is “Enviro-detox”by (natures sunshine)it is a combination of herbs that do a superior job of detoxing plus it has good flora to replace the friendly flora in your gut that might have  been destroyed by the use of antibiotics and several other meds.

Doing this detox along with a diet of fresh veggies and fruits can go along way in clearing up skin problems.

Digestion has alot to do with your skin,hair and nails.The little miracle worker here is called (Hydrochloric Acid) or HCL for short.Doctors explain that we have a “acid mantle” over our skin and scalp,this acid mantle helps protect our skin and scalp from bacterial infections.

Many cosmetics that we use can disrupt this acid mantle.Most soaps detergents and cosmetics are alkaline when they should be acid.A pale skin can sometimes be an indicater that your skin is starving for acid.If you must cleanse your face with an alkaline substance,follow it up with an application of apple cider vinegar and water,this will leave the skin in it’s normal acid condition.

So how do you know when you don’t have enough HCL?This can be a bit tricky,because the symptoms of not having enough HCL are the same as having to much.Acid is necessary to break down proteins and minerals for digestion,as well as destroy certain bacteria.Some of the problems of not enough acid can include gas,bloating,belching and possible burning in the stomach.Bad breath can also be caused by a deficiency of HCL.These are just a few things that can result from improper digestion.One amazing step that you can take to help with digestion is to supplement with a “digestive enzyme”these amazing little pills will help with digestion and absorbtion.I recommend one that digests all the food groups so that you don’t have to take more than one pill for different things you eat.A product called “Digest”by enzymedica is one that I use and highly recommend.

So now that we know a little about whats going on in our body and how products that we use every day can build up and be toxic to us,I have a few recipes that you can make in your own kitchen.It is said that if you can’t eat it don’t put it on your skin!

Here is one you can use if you have (ACNE) make a face pack of bran,baking soda and water.Mix this into a paste and apply to the face.Leave on for 15 mins.then rinse with apple cider vinegar and water(one part vinegar to 8 parts water.

PROBLEM WITH BROWN SPOTS? Rub oderless castor oil or apply vitamin E directly on them nightly.

EYE PROBLEMS: Camomile tea or tea bags steeped in hot water for 20 mins.then put in frig.and use cold twice a day for puffiness.
For dark circles use Figs!half of a fresh fig over each eye will help erase dark circles.

SKIN PROBLEMS: For large Pores-put 16oz of steel cut oatmeal into a blender,blend till powder add 8oz almond meal,4oz powdered orris root,1oz powdered castile soap.Moisten 1Tbsp.at a time with water to make a paste.apply gently with fingertips and then rinse with cold water.

TO SMOOTH SKIN: Make a herb tea by blending a handful of rosemary in 4oz of water,steep for 15 mins.strain and cool then for every 2tsps.of tea add 1 egg white and 1 tsp.powdered milk,mix do not beat!Store in frig.you should see a difference in about a week.

DRY SKIN: use a mashed banana or peach in olive oil and apply as a pack.leave on for 15 mins. then wash off with tepid water.

FACE PEEL:to remove dry dead skin mash a papaya and apply as a mask leave on for 20 mins.

TIGHTEN AND TONE:beat together 1 egg,1Tbsp. milk,and 1 tsp.honey.apply to face and neck till hardened.leave on as long as you like.remove with warm water then follow with cold.This secret dates back to Cleopatra.

To Plump up   tissues,dissolve lecithin granules in warm water,then add to cold pressed veg.oil.Rub into skin for all-day or all-night treatment.This recipe may take awhile to work.

This recipe is a quick fix:clean your face then pat raw egg whites all over,leave on for 15 min.rinse with warm water.Temporarily smoothes out wrinkles and lines.

 
Here is a skin building formula that Jheri Redding says will be helpful in reducing wrinkles(mayonnaise)! Yes as simple as that!He says that mayonnaise has everything the skin needs to regenerate.Use daily and skin will become more velvety within 15 days,Elasticity will improve and dryness disappear in 40-60 days.A definite improvement will be noticeable in 30 days.He almost guarantees that lines will be smoothed and texture will improve in 70-80 days!
To speed things along you can lay on a board at a slant so that your head is down,this helps increase the circulation to your face.

So here you have it as simple as going to your cupboard and mixing up a few healthy things and what you don’t have you can pick up easily at your local health food store or supermarket.

Everything in these recipes are all natural and would not hurt you if you consumed them.You can’t say that about most of the products that we buy and put on our bodies.

So give some of these things a try and let me know how they work out for you!You can email me directly at pmprager@gmail.com or leave a comment on my blog.It is my sincere desire to help in everyone leading a more healthy less toxic life!

Moringa Oleifere(Zinga)supplement

If you want an apple do you settle for fruit salad? If you want the incredible benefits of the potent moringa leaf do you settle for a “formula” that contains just a bit of leaf? If you want an apple you buy an apple. If you want moringa leaf you buy moringa leaf: Moringa Zinga.

Zinga is an excellent source of nutrition because it goes to where the body is nutritionally deficient. It is a natural energy booster without the ups and downs associated with products that are sugar or caffeine based. So the energy is sustained. Many people also report that their immune system is strengthened because of the high nutritional content. It helps skin conditions and many teens take it to eliminate acne. Blood pressure can be normalized, headaches and migraines controlled, and diabetes sugar levels managed. Many people report that long time inflammations and arthritis pains are reduced, and ulcers reduced or healed.

Moringa is also soothing. Its detoxifying effect is probably due to its ability to purify water. It does this by acting as a coagulant. It attaches itself to harmful material and bacteria. It is believed that this process takes place in the body as well. Long-lasting energy without hyperactivity is what results. The nerve system can rest, the blood system is relieved, and both the gland and hormone system come into balance.

There are many uses around the world for the fantastic Moringa Leaf. Here are just a few of them::

Water filtration and detoxification – There have been many studies conducted over the last 40 years that have shown the ability of moringa to remove hazardous materials from water.

Antibiotic – Moringa has been used as a topical treatment for minor infections. Pterygospermin is the bacterial and fungicidal compound. Studies comparing the antibiotic Neomycin against an agueous extract made from moringa seeds was equally effective against Staphylococcus aureus, a skin infecting bacteria.

Skin Treatment – The healing benefits of moringa on the skin are amazing. It helps to cure cuts, rashes, sores, and scrapes. Cracking of the skin and other signs of aging are also positively affected.  Most notably, teenagers have been able to cure acne in three days!

Diabetes – Moringa is not as effective as glibenclamide, the standard drug for hypoglycemia. But pure powdered moringa leaf has been shown, within three hours of ingestion, to lower blood sugar levels. When larger doses were taken the effect increased.

India’s ancient tradition of ayurveda medicine sites 300 diseases that are treated with the leaves of the Moringa tree. Gram for gram, Moringa leaves contain:

7 times the vitamin C in oranges

4 times the calcium in milk

4 times the vitamin A in carrots

2 times the protein in milk

3 times the potassium in bananas
Pure powdered capsules are organic and absolutely safe. There are no known side effects. It’s gentle enough to be given to babies in Africa to overcome malnourishment. It’s one of the most secret performance enhancing products taken by athletes today who ingest megadoses that help them physically and mentally. It’s great for people of all ages, especially oldsters who are losing their alertness.

Although there have been references to the Moringa Oleifera Tree that go back a couple thousand years, and the World Health Organization has been studying and using the plant for the last forty years as a low cost health enhancer in the poorest countries around the world, there is a reason why its still relatively unknown. The sale of all forms of vitamins, minerals, and health supplements is a big business. If you were a company selling hundreds of nutritional products, why would you sell one product that could potentially wipe out all your other products! This would be true for the pharmaceutical industry as well. These industries, with huge marketing budgets, would rather the general public remains ignorant about the amazing moringa leaf.

 I Have tried many,many supplements in the past 7yrs.and have never found one that really WOWed me,until now! This product is amazing! I have been taking it for about 2wks. now and noticed right away that I had more energy.I first took 1 capsule in the morning just to see how it would work,I didn’t want to be over stimulated.I felt fine not really alot different,so I then took 2 the next day which is what the dosage recommends and I had energy through out the day!and it was not a jittery type of energy like from caffeine,it was just an alertness that was great! I can’t wait to see what other benifits this will bring!

The Natureopath that I work with is also taking it and says that her hair is growing in on her head where it had been sparce.That is amazing!We are currently using this product in our shop and it is testing great for alot of people! I highly recommend this particular product(moringa Zinga oleifera).

Holosync Meditation

What is Holosync® audio technology?

Holosync is a sophisticated form of neuro-audio technology allowing the listener to easily enter various desirable states, and creating many desirable mental, emotional, and spiritual changes, through entrainment of electrical patterns in the brain. This creates a synchronization, or balance, between brain hemispheres, enhancing mental/emotional health and mental functioning. In the process, new neural connections are created between the right and left brain hemispheres, leading to what is known as “whole brain functioning.”

In addition to states such as accelerated learning ability and enhanced creativity, Holosync can help a listener easily enter and benefit from states of deep meditation, until now accessible only to long-time meditators practicing many hours a day for many years.

Holosync audio tones are delivered to the nervous system using a low carrier frequency stimulus, masked by pleasant music and environmental sounds, which drives the nervous system to progressively higher levels of functioning. Through precise sound patterning based on over twenty years of research, Holosync creates a “push” in the brain which causes the brain to reorganize at a higher levels of awareness and functioning, in much the same way a runner gives his or her body a physicalstimulus to cause it to reorganize at higher levels of physical ability.

Typically, listeners show impressive improvements in emotional health, a whole range of mental abilities, self-awareness, ability to meditate deeply, personal motivation, sense of spiritual connection, and a number of other areas.

Holosync is based on research done at Mt. Sinai Medical Center, the Meninger Clinic, and a number of other research facilities, and is currently used by hundreds of thousands of people in over 172 countries.

I have been using the holosync audios for about 2 months now and must say they are pretty amazing! I have many obstacles that I need to over come and this program has been great! All you have to do is listen to the CDs with head phones and they do all the work,you don’t even have to try and keep your head clear(which is a good thing)because if you are like me there are a thousand things going through your mind all the time.I find that the time goes by very fast while I’m listening and they are enjoyable! So if you think that this would help and even if you are not sure, you can check it out for free.I offer a free report and CD for subscribing to my blog. To your Health and Wellbeing Paula

Quansite Multi Media Marketing Hub

The Right Mindset Makes It Easy To Make quansite Work For Your Business

Quansites New Media Marketing Hub
is taking off like a wildfire. People are blogging about  just about anything you can think of. From
the daily routine of their cat, to technology reviews, to politics.

Until
the blogosphere sorts itself out and matures a bit more, it may be difficult to
tell exactly how this new frontier of instant publishing can help you and your
business grow. But don’t worry – you’ll start getting a flood of new ideas in
the coming months.

For
now, the most important thing you can do is develop the right mindset about
business blogging. What you think about something, and how you strategize
appyling it in your business very often has more to do with succes than the
technology, tool, or resource itself.

With
that in mind, here is the most important thing you can do. Keep your eye on
people.

DO NOT
get stuck on the “technology.” That’s what drove all the pie-in-the-sky dot.com
dreamers into the financial abyss. It’s people and personal communication that
matter most, and should always be a the center of all your thoughts,
strategies, and actions.

Quansite is just a tool. But
it’s a tool that can and should become a major support arm of your business.
Why?

Because it exponentially
multiplies the world’s oldest, most favored, and trusted form of information
sharing — word of mouth.

Just ask
yourself, whom do you trust the most to give you advice, recommendations, and
information about opportunities, purchases, or choices? Someone you know and
trust, right? Someone who you feel is just like you.

That type of
trust comes from personal communication, social interaction, and the joining
together of like-minded individuals. Quansite simply magnifies and expands that
sense of community and more personalized communication, and then expands the
reach across the entire world!

Link trust; with
respect, positioning, and word-of-mouth and you have the makings of a powerful
marketing arm that can initiate an ever-growing stream of highly targeted
prospects.

Remember, it’s
the relationships that matter most. Keep your eye on that fact, and you’ll
always have the right mindset for business blogging that’s a benefit for you
and your readers.

To your Health and Wellbeing Paula  visit Quansite you’ll love it!
