Amazing Natural Remedy For Skin Hair And Nails That Are Healthy And Beautiful


By Margaret Harris


The human body is considered beautiful or appealing depending on the condition of external parts such as hair nails and skin. Unfortunately though, may suffer from conditions that affect the appearance of these body features. Anyone searching for a natural remedy for skin hair and nails will find invaluable advise in this discussion.

There are two basic categories into which these remedies fall. One is internal while the other is external. For the internal remedies, consumption is required for the benefits to be reaped. The external ones are basically topical applications that are used in a similar fashion to cosmetics. Both types of remedies have been identified as successful by users.

Among the popular internal natural remedies for beauty purposes is folic acid. This is a b vitamin that is found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli. It works by encouraging the body to replenish, repair and restore cells, including those of the epidermis, hair and nails. Many nutritionists recommend folic acid for general health and so for many, the beauty benefits may be just a bonus.

A popular nature made remedy for beauty is royal jelly. Produced in the hive exclusively for the queen bee, who by the way outlives everyone else in the hive, this nutrient is full of b vitamins. Users of royal jelly swear that using it has led to better looking skin and healthier, longer tresses. Royal jelly is available in two forms. Its natural form is a gel or cream like substance and many dealers sell it this way. It is also available as a capsule as the nutrient is freeze dried and compressed.

Yet another great topical treatment for beauty purposes is castor oil. This oil is taken from the seeds of the castor plant. Its use as a beauty and health enhancer dates back to many centuries ago. When this oil is rubbed into the skin it helps to reduce the signs of aging or keep them at bay. It also helps to minimize the appearance of scars. It also strengthens tresses and promote length.

Cocoa butter, the substance extracted from the seeds of the cocoa fruit, has been promoted for a long time as a beauty product. It is moisturizing by nature which is why when it is placed on the hair and nails it reduces dryness and as a result prevents breakage. It also has a long tradition for being used by pregnant women for preventing stretch marks. Even after stretch marks and scars occur, this substance is used successfully to reduce them.

Shea Butter cannot be overlooked in any discussion on remedies for external body features. It reduces and eliminates itchiness, the signs of eczema and other skin conditions. This is because of its high vitamin A content. It also has vitamin E which is popular for dermis and epidermis health.

With so many amazing natural ways to ensure that hair nail and epidermis are healthy, there is really no excuse for complacency. Some remedies are available naturally which means that they are economical to use. Quite often, they are cheaper than the alternatives and have fewer and sometimes no adverse effects. This makes them the ideal choice for many.

Effective Natural Treatment For Skin Irritations


By Carol Hill


You will find a large number of remedies of a natural kind for a variety of different skin conditions. Chamomile oil is a great natural solution for a specific acne-like ailment known as rosacea. Chamomile oil for perioral dermatitis has been proven to work wonders against this common infection which is likely to develop as red spots most commonly around the mouth. Though the lips are a prime target, it has also been known to spread to the nose.

Though initial signs crop up in the form of little red spots, and spread around the lips and occasionally higher, it can get annoying when it starts to cause swelling and a great deal of discomfort. There are a large number of reasons as to why this issue may arise, but do not worry because there is a simple solution to the problem.

Most occurrences are down to certain allergic reactions. A lot of the time, the issue arises out of a bad reaction to unknown medications that may have been prescribed. Rosacea is common among both males and females, but women suffer from it more often because of the high number of chemicals that may be found in certain make-up products.

While it is irritating, rosacea is not in any way contagious. It is not a reason to get stressed over either, as it is not as serious health issue. You will find a number of safe and effective remedies right by your feet, you simply need to look. These range from certain soaps, to creams to remedial teas. The most useful though, probably comes in the form of a natural oil.

One of these oils is that of Chamomile. This is undoubtedly one of the best treatments for rosacea. There are various properties contained within the oil, such as bisoprolol, apigenin, natricin and luteolin which have all shown to reduce swelling, soothe the skin and decrease overall irritation. Continuous appliance will subsequently stop infection and increase comfort.

This kind of oil is entirely free of chemicals, so the patient can use it on a daily basis, without worry. Face moisturizers as well as body lotions and toners tend to use it as an active ingredient, since it really helps soften the skin and it protect it against free radicals and other harmful substances. Chamomile's light formula allows it to dry quickly, and the user can apply makeup in order to cover the reddened pimples just seconds afterwards.

In the most serious cases, doctors are likely to prescribe you with certain antibiotics or something similar. Even so, chamomile oil for perioral dermatitis is globally recommended as a highly effective remedy and is great for this kind of irritation. And since it is 100% natural, you can feel free to use it as often as you want and for as long as you feel it is needed.

In Praise of Our Skin and the Song of Yoga


by Nina

"Our skin is no neutral envelope; it is a busily sensing organ that situates us in relation to others and the world." —Adam Gopnik

Just a quick post today to let you know about a really interesting article Feel Me by Adam Gopnik, in recent edition of “The New Yorker." It’s all about how underrated our sense of touch is, and includes a long discussion of tactile research.

“We don’t appreciate how much of our behavior is governed by our intense sensitivity to pressure,” Dustin Tyler, the fresh-faced principal investigator on the Cleveland project, says, observing Spetic closely. “We think of hot and cold, or of textures, silk and cotton. But some of the most important sensing we do with our fingers is to register incredibly minute differences in pressure, of the kinds that are necessary to perform tasks, which we grasp in a microsecond from the feel of the outer shell of the thing. We know instantly, just by touching, whether to gently squeeze the toothpaste or crush the can.”

Although the article tends to focus on the hands, in yoga, we use our tactile senses to help us balance on our feet, as well as on our hands, sitting bones, forearms, shins, and so on. As we’re balancing, we respond to texture of the surface on which we’re balancing. And that’s why one technique you can use for improving balance or agility is to vary the surface you practice on.

But we also use our tactile senses to feel our alignment in our poses. Although some of the ability to feel our alignment comes from prioprioception, our internal sense of where we are in space, you use your skin to sense whether your weight is evenly distributed on your feet or hands, whether your top foot is in the right place in Tree pose or Eagle pose, whether your palms are pressing together completely in Reverse Prayer pose, or if you’ve actually grabbed your elbows or just your forearms when you take both arms behind your back. And, OMG, you finally made the clasp in Cow-Face pose (Gomukasana)!

In "Feel Me," Gopnik observes:

“One strange thing about the unsung sense is that it has no songs. Every other sense has an art to go with it: the eyes have art, the ears have music, even the nose and the tongue have perfume and gastronomy. But we don’t train our hands to touch as we train our eyes to look or our ears to listen.”

But I beg to differ. Practicing yoga mindfully partly means training your skin to be more sensitive as you tune into subtle all-over body sensations. And I'm thinking that this might be one reason why practicing asanas can be such a beautiful experience, you know, like music or art.

“Our bodies are membranes in the world, with sensation and meaning passing seamlessly through them. Our experience of our bodies—the things they feel, the moves they make, and the textures and the people they touch—is our primary experience of our minds.”
