Aloe Vera for Health, Beauty and Luck

Worship Fruit and Vegetables

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:51:04 +0000

It can be tough to eat 5 daily portions of Fruit and Vegetables even when you love them. It’s even tougher to persuade your kids the trick is buy more varieties, I mean once upon a time we just had cabbage, carrots and peas now the stores and markets have dozens of sorts domestic and exotic.

If you are the homemaker use your imagination to present fruit and vegetables in an attractive manner. I cut fruit and raw vegetables and arrange them on a platter, trust me your family will nibble. And if they nibble a carrot instead of a chocolate bar you have won.

Forever Living Aloe Vera Products

Forever Living Products are the World’s leading grower and processor of Aloe Vera. I am often asked whether it is a good idea to join them but unfortunately cannot advise as I have no personal experience of them.You can however purchase their products online as a retail customer and may be that would be a safe way to see if you could become really committed to their products because you really liked them yourself. Later on you might consider it as a business but what ever you do don’t rush into it, take a few weeks researching it to make absolutely sure. Also it is absolutely vital that your partner is also committed.

I did however have a disastrous experience of joining another well known MLM where I fortunately quickly realised that it wasn’t for me because I’m simply not that sort of bubbly person who is good at selling and loves working with people.

Smudging Negativity Away with Smudge Sticks

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:55:44 +0000

A smudge stick is a bundle of dried herbs, most commonly white sage. Often other herbs or plants are used or added and the leaves are usually bound with string in a small bundle and dried. Some other herbs and spices that are often used include cilantro, cedar, lavender, and mugwort, none of which are native to the Americas. They have a strong, pleasant aroma when burnt. Smudging is used in ceremonies by Native Americans including the Cree.

Smudging traps negativity in the smoke and carries it out to escape through the doors or windows. Use Smudging as a spiritual house cleaning especially when there are feelings of anger, resentment or other negative feelings in the house.

You can buy commercial smudges but you can make your own. The most common herb found in them is sage and this herb is good for healing and uplifting of the spirit. Sweetgrass is similar but maybe more gentle. Releasing anxiety and sorrow is what sweetgrass is used for.

Lavender is great for relaxation of the mind. Rose is another ingredient that makes the house smell beautiful and is used for love. You can add the lavender or rose to smudge sticks you buy as well if you wish to personalize your blend.

Having Your Pumpkin and Eating It!

admin — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:58:34 +0000

It’s a real shame to waste a Pumpkin on Halloween because they are full of goodness. This year we’ve at least saved the seeds and have roasted and eaten them (see the recipe below). I’m also boiling up the pumpkin guts and goo and some of the pumpkin flesh which was cut out with a simple recipe adding eggs, ginger powder, cinnamon, eggs, cloves, salt and brown sugar, so nothing is wasted. The actual Pumpkin will stay outside and end up on the compost heap, but here’s a great tip, on Monday the stores will likely be selling of their Pumpkins cheaply so buy up a few and start baking Pumpkins!

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Separate the seeds from the guts. Using your hands, pick out the seeds and lay them on a buttered or greased baking sheet. Do not rinse them! This removes a lot of the flavor. Bake for 10 minutes. Salt before eating.

You probably know aloe has been used for centuries to treat burns and scrapes. It’s probably safe to say, you’ve even used it for at least one of those two (that includes sunburns!). Are you aware that aloe is referred to by many researchers as “Nature’s Miracle” because of the dozens upon dozens of other ailments it can treat? Chances are you didn’t.

That is because the huge drug companies don’t want you to know about that.

They have kept it under wraps because they make money through research of disease treating drugs. It takes years and millions of dollars to find a drug, test it, and finally market it. That then funds their next project. It’s a horrible cycle that never ends.

Wonderful Melons Have It All

admin — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:19:52 +0000

The melon has an amazing number of health benefits, and is also a healthy gentle way to eat. I know someone who always does an annual melon cure (i.e. only eats Melons for a week), but no need to go that far. When you eat melon you get liquids, minerals, fiber, vitamins, trace elements and they’re delicious.

There are two types of Melon Sweet Melons and Water Melons. The Water Melon (Red Flesh , large seeds) has the more subtle but finer taste. But in fact there are many different varieties within these sub-divisions, Cantaloupes, Honey Dew, Christmas Melons etc look out for them in good stores and markets.

If you are the homemaker you can do a lot to encourage your family to eat these fruits by careful preparation. One great way is to cut them into cubes and chill in the fridge.

How Often Should You Water Aloe Vera?

admin — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:36:01 +0000

Aloe Vera can live up to seven years without water but can be killed in a much shorter time by over watering. But how much watering is too much? Well let’s say if you are a consistent organized person who always remembers to water their plants then there is a danger you will over water, however if you are a forgetful student-like who only occasionally remembers to water you will have healthier plants.

That said I put my Aloe Vera plants outside for the whole summer and I have seem them swimming in water without seeming to harm them. In winter I shall water sparingly may be only 3 times.

The Original Aroma Therapipe, Salt Pipe, Respiratory and Asthma Aid

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:20:51 +0000

I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about these pipes, and of course they are completely natural.

%100 natural way to address the symptoms of respiratory ailments such as:Colds, Sneezing, Coughing, Asthma, Shortness of Breath, Allergies, C.O.P.D Related Ailments, Respiratory Problems from Smoking, Bronchitis and Hay Fever
This porcelain device is based on Speleo/Halo Therapy (cave and salt therapy). The ORIGINAL THERAPIPE crystal salt is from ancient European salt mines 20-22 million years old and the caverns are visited by thousands of people each year
You simply inhale the Aroma Therapipe’s salty air through your mouth and exhale through your nose, breathing normally. When the cleansing process starts, it is normal for some coughing and sneezing to occur. It is recommended that you use the Aroma Therapipe for 20 minutes a day for 3 weeks. It does not need to be in one sitting, two 10 minute sessions are fine. The Aroma Therapipe is effective for up to 5(+) years of daily use without a refill.
A new day has dawned for the many people who want an alternative to drugs for their respiratory problems. The revolutionary Aroma Therapipe brings the benefits of the salt mine therapy right into your home. Children can also use it, but be aware that it is porcelain and breakable if mishandled. It is recommended that each Aroma Therapipe be used by only one person therefore they are “color coded.”

What’s Wrong with this Pretty Aloe Vera?

admin — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 13:23:18 +0000

I bought this Aloe Vera for my French mother-in-law. It was a cheaty present because I wanted there to be an Aloe Vera plant when I visit to sooth my sunburns and scratches when ever we visit.

What is Wrong with this Aloe Vera Plant?

Well the pot is too small, it needs re-potting into the largest clay pot you care to use.

Pot with a seed starting mixture at a garden center or a bag of peat moss sphagnum mixed 50/50% with Perlite, or a bag of cactus mix.

A Reader’s Long-Term Experience of Aloe Vera

admin — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 14:21:36 +0000

I began using aloe vera for sunburns about 20 years ago. Soon after I also began to use it as an after shower
moisturizer, for my face in particular. Skin tends to feel rather tight and dry following a shower. This became part of
my routine and I haven’t looked back. For 20+ years now following every shower … occasionally at other times during
the day I have been using aloe. I have always liked the fact that it was natural, non-greasy and essentially disappeared
about five minutes after using with no residue leaving your skin properly moisturized. Evidence suggests that aloe
provides significant benefits far exceeding simple sunburn treatments. This seems to be backed up by the fact that
island residents where aloe is prevalent and used regularly tend to have skin looking years younger than the user’s true
age.
My preference is towards the more natural. Aloe from the plant is a clear gel – not green as many products show it. I suppose some manufacturers have made it green because that color is either expected or more pleasing in some way but if you are looking for natural you want it clear and as close to 100% aloe vera as is possible. Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera fills the bill on all fronts. 100% aloe vera, no added color, no added alcohol etc. It has become our house favorite.
Side note: at the time I began using it I was not seeking a youth potion, just a way of getting rid of that tight dry feeling following a shower. I don’t know if credit belongs with the aloe, heredity, luck or some combination but my skinappears quite a bit younger than my age should dictate. Take that for what it is.

(posted previously as a comment by Pauline) I note she also appreciates that when you use natural Aloe Vera Gel it seems to leave no trace at all!
