Nutrient dense superfoods such as soy, dry beans, fish, low-body fat dairy items, and complete grains, really should be consumed as a typical part of weekly nutrition intake. Energy-dense meals that are poor nutrition are substantial in sugar and fat and consist of processed lunch meats, pastries, refined white breads, pasta, cheeses, ice cream, candy, soda, potato chips and corn chips ought to be reduced or avoided totally. In other words, leave out the junk food.

Over all our thoughts there hangs a moon.

The womb of our creator sends its light

Heavenward, to brood upon our night,

Essence of love distilled into a tune,

Rising with a kiss about our beds.

The author is Nicholas Gordon. This poem reminded me of the time my mother told me she had eyes in the back of her head. I said, “No you don’t.” As she was looking at me behind her in the mirror she said, “Yes I do.”

For expectant mothers, here is a straight forward recipe to help prevent stretch marks.

Next step: a good formula has a top, middle, and base note. To the main blend you can then add modifiers, enhancers, equalizers, as well as fixatives. I plan to add a post that lists different terms with definitions used when making reference to aromatherapy and essential oils.

Basics for Essential Oils and Hair

Some people struggle with basic problems of the  hair and scalp like dandruff and hair loss. I decided to focus on these two categories for essential oil blends. You can add these to your shampoo, conditioner, and other hair treatments. For an 8 oz. bottle add 15 – 20 drops.

The blend I chose that can be used for most dry scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis which is commonly referred to as dandruff are Peppermint, Rosemary, and Cedarwood.

Peppermint as the top note has a strong minty scent with a sharp penetrating effect in the formula. Peppermint is commonly used to remedy dandruff and other skin complaints mostly because it has antibacterial properties. Rosemary as the middle note has a fresh woody scent that gives body and also enhances the blend. It is a stimulant and will help to restore health. I chose Cedarwood for the base. Cedarwood deepens the blend and adds a warming affect. It also has healing benefits for dandruff and most other skin complaints. 

Buy Essential Oil Blend For Scalp Conditions

Here is a list of essential oils used for scalp conditions such as dandruff:

• Cedarwood                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
• Peppermint                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
• Lavender
• Eucalyptus
• Lemon
• Patchouli
• Rosemary
• Clary sage
• Tea tree
• Basil
• Birch
• Cypress

Hair loss can be caused by health problems, use of chemical treatments, heat and styling, or allergic reactions from synthetic hair care products. For Hair Loss (Growth), I chose Clary Sage, Lavender, and Patchouli.

Clary Sage is used as the top note for its delicate fragrance that enhances the overall formula. Clary sage is recommended for all types of hair loss including alopecia. Lavender is stimulating oil with a light to mild floral scent and is used for all scalp problems. It has natural healing and moisturizing benefits. I chose Patchouli as the base. The essential oil has a strong earthy smell used since ancient times as a major ingredient in the perfumery industry. It has healing benefits for hair loss as it helps to rejuvenate and restore hair growth.

Buy Essential Oil Blend For Hair Loss

Here is a list of essential oils used to rejuvenate hair growth:

• Clary sage
• Chamomile
• Cypress
• Lavender
• Patchouli
• Rosemary
• Rose
• Juniper
• Lemon
• Ylang ylang

It’s important to understand the methods in making a healing essential oil blend. People struggle mostly with scalp irritation such as dandruff, commonly referred to as seborrheic dermatitis, and hair loss. Peppermint, Rosemary, and Cedarwood was the blend I chose as a remedy for dandruff. Clary Sage, Lavender, and Patchouli essential oil blend is used for hair loss. The essential oil blends can be added to any hair product. For an 8 oz. bottle add 15 – 20 drops. To request a customized blend, please email herbalsongstresse@gmail.com or call 3135226200.

Milk has long been considered to be an essential part of every person’s diet, regardless of one’s age. That is because milk provides our bodies with a number of essential nutrients it needs to be able to function properly. Milk is a great source of calcium which not only leads to us having healthy bones and teeth. The amount of calcium that you can get in two glasses of milk each day can help eliminate the chances of contracting osteoporosis, a condition that is characterized by the brittle bones and having a lower bone density as we grow older. Milk also is a terrific source of protein that helps build and repair muscle tissues in our body.

There are a number of different types of milk that are available in your local supermarket. The most common types being bought are skimmed milk and whole milk. Whole milk is usually recommended to be consumed by children and teenagers as well as by body builders. On the other hand, skimmed milk is often recommended for men and women who are trying to lose weight. This is because one major difference between whole milk and skimmed milk is the amount of milk fat that they contain. Whole milk is called as such because it contains all of the milk fat that is found in them. Generally, cow’s milk contains 3.5% milk fat for every cup of milk. Skimmed milk, on the other hand, is cow’s milk that undergoes a skimming process (hence, the name) to remove as much fat as possible. This allows people to be able to consume milk to gain the calcium and protein benefits without the milk fat.

This leads to another difference between whole milk and skimmed milk. The milk fat contained in whole milk causes it to be creamier and more delicious than skimmed milk. Many people would often find skimmed milk quite a bit bland. That is because much of the flavor is found in the milk fat which is skimmed away and used to create a variety of dairy products such as cheese and butter. This is also why whole milk is often also referred to as full cream milk. Skimmed milk, on the other hand, is also called as non-fat milk although this term is not really that true because skimmed milk still contains some milk fat in them, approximately less than 0.5% milk fat.

Summary:
1.Both whole milk and skimmed milk contains calcium which is essential in developing strong bones and teeth, and protein to help build and repair muscle tissues.
2.Whole milk, also called full cream milk, contains about 3.5% milk fat for each cup serving. Skimmed milk contains less than 0.5% milk fat which is made possible by skimming away as much fat as possible from whole milk.
3.Whole milk has a creamy consistency and is considered to be full in flavor. On the other hand, skimmed milk appears to be watered down and bland because of the absence of the milk fat.

Most people can go to the older generation and find a home remedy using peppermint. It is mainly appreciated for its essential oil, “menthol”. When peppermint is cold, it is cooling and refreshing, and when it is hot, the warmth is intensely pulsating. That is because peppermint is a stimulant and energizer. Whatever herbal mixture peppermint is added too, it will reinforce and strengthen the healing effects overall.

5 Ways to Use Peppermint

Hair Rinse

•  8 oz. of peppermint infused water
•  2 tbs. of apple cider vinegar

To make the peppermint infused water, pour one cup of boiling water over ¼ cup of dried or fresh herb, and steep. Strain, pour into a container, and add 2 tbs. of apple cider vinegar. Use after shampoo by gently rinsing through the hair and paying extra attention to the scalp. Either leave on or rinse out. Style as usual.

Massage Oil for Aches & Pains

•  1 tbs. sunflower oil
•  8 drops of peppermint essential oil

Pour into a glass or plastic container. Shake to mix. Apply twice a day. This remedy may also be used for rheumatism, muscle spasms, and helps with circulation.

Skin Toner

•  1 cup of witch hazel
•  10 drops of peppermint essential oil

Witch hazel is a natural cleanser and antibiotic. Peppermint oil brightens and refreshes dull skin. The combination of this toner will help to prevent acne and clogged pores by eliminating excess oil on the skin. Use in the morning and at night. 

Cough Syrup

•  2 oz. of peppermint leaf
•  2 cups of water
•  ½ cups of honey

Simmer 2 oz. of peppermint leaf with 2 cups of water until 1 cup of water has evaporated. You will have a thick tea remaining. Strain and mix the liquid with ½ cup of honey. Pour into a labeled container and refrigerate. Last 2 – 4 weeks.

Peppermint Tea is an excellent remedy for an upset stomach. It also soothes and relieves heartburn.

Pour 2 cups of boiling water over 2 tablespoons of peppermint, (either fresh or dried). Steep for, 10 – 15 minutes. Strain and drink.

Drink peppermint tea for headaches, fever, nervous tension, and digestion.

The castor oil plant is a native of India where it bears several ancient Sanskrit names, the most ancient and most usual being Eranda, which has passed into several other Indian languages. The plant thrives in tropical climates where it can grow 30 to 40 feet high; in the Azores and the warmer countries – Algeria, Egypt, Greece and the Riviera – it is of more slender growth, attaining an average height of only 10 to 15 feet.

Castor oil is referred to as the “cure-all” remedy.  Castor oil is used externally as a soothing emollient for dry skin, dermatitis, and other skin disease. It is a heavy protective oil that seals in moisture and is soothing for all skin types. Several other uses include hair tonic that keeps hair looking soft and shiny. Castor oil is a humectant that draws moisture into hair and skin. The anti-bacterial and anti-fungicidal properties of ricinoleic acid in castor oil protect the scalp and hair from infections which can cause hair loss. The Omega-9 fatty acids in castor oil also nourish the hair and prevent the scalp from drying.

Scalp Treatment for Hair Loss

• 1 tbs. castor oil                                                        
• 1 tbs. calendula infusion oil
• 10 drops of lavender
• 4 drops rosemary

Add all of the oils in a small glass bottle, shake to mix. You may warm the oil before application by placing the bottle it in a warm water bath. For application, massage a few drops into the scalp area. Apply several times a week.

Earache Treatment Using Oil

Warm some olive or castor oil and put several drops in the affected ear. Place a piece of sterile cotton in the ear.
