Soap Nuts Combat Hair Loss

Author: Matt Johnson

Soap Nuts can be used for more than just laundering clothes. They can be used by men and women alike who are suffering from hair loss. Ayurvedic medicine, practiced mainly in India and Sri Lanka, promotes a way of lifeto prevent hair loss, rather than just occasional treatments. Soap Nuts, which are grown in India and Nepal, are used in Ayurvedic medicine, and have been used for centuries to help against hair loss and dandruff. It is crucial though, to treat the whole body instead of just the symptom of hair loss. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, female hair loss, affects some 30 million women in the United States — with some forms of loss occurring at earlier ages, and being seen in increasing numbers.

Ayurvedic medicine states the following conditions as beneficial for healthy and plentiful hair:

The scalp must be kept cool, so protection from the sun and washing in cold or lukewarm water are paramount.

Balanced diets and proper nutrition are key, so a hair-friendly diet should emphasize proteins, iron, zinc, sulfur, Vitamin C, Vitamin B-Complex and essential fatty acids.

Sesame oil or coconut oil should be applied to the scalp to nourish, lubricate and strengthen the roots, thus improving circulation to the head.

What Causes Hair Loss?

The follicles in hair derive from a protein called keratin. It is normal to lose from 50 to 100 hairs per day, but more than that may be cause for worry. There are many causes of hair loss, and they can be different for men and women.

Genetics: Most genetic hair loss is found in men, but occasionally it is seen in women. This type of hair loss is inherited through the genes of one’s mother, causing the hair follicles to stop producing hair much earlier than they should.

Illnesses and Medications: Most endocrine conditions such as lupus, uncontrolled diabetes, Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and thyroid conditions can cause hair loss due to the stress they put on the body and the imbalance of hormones.

Medications: Certain medications can cause hair loss as a side effect. Birth control pills, lithium (used to treat bi-polar disorder), iostretinoin (used for acne) and of course, chemotherapy drugs can cause major hair loss.

Hair Treatments and Styling: Getting your hair dyed, permed, straightened or highlighted puts stress on the hair shaft and can cause it to break off or fall out temporarily. Wearing your hair pulled back very tightly can also cause permanent baldness around the temples or where there is tension of the hair.

Poor Nutrition: Poor eating habits can also cause hair loss. This is why people with eating disorders often have thin, brittle hair which falls out easily. It is essential to have a balanced diet and get the proper amounts of vitamins, minerals, proteins and fat. When the body is majorly lacking nutrients, the hair will not grow and will look limp and dull.

Disruption of the Hair Growth Cycle: Any major life event, such as childbirth, surgery or trauma, may alter the hair growth cycle.

How Can Soap Nuts Help?

Soap Nuts are a gentle and effective chemical-free cleanser, and as a liquid, can be used as a purifying shampoo. To make the liquid, add 6-8 whole shells to 6cups water, boil and then simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the nuts and pour into an appropriate container. Use this liquid as you would your regular shampoo. Pour a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water in a spray bottle, and use as conditioner. Rinse well and dry as usual. Continue using Soap Nuts as your shampoo and you should see visible results within a few months.

Remember that you should take a complete approach to your health and focus not just on the symptom of hair loss.

From ancient times plants, fruits and flower extracts are used to color hair, hands nad nails Henna was used on a large scale in India, Egypt and Middle East.

Henna is used to cool the scalp and remove excessive heat from our body. It is used to bring down high fevers and against sunstroke. Henna is used in the application of beautiful designs on the palms. It is also used to color nails and apply temporary tattoos on the body.

Henna is used in hair treatment as it is a natural hair color, an excellent hair conditioner. Henna cleanses the scalp adds body and bounce to the hair. It doesnot disturb the acid-mantle of the scalp and keeps it healthy.

Make a mix of henna powder,
1 spoon lemon juice
add yoghurt to make a paste.
Apply the henna paste evenly to your scalp. Divide the hair into sections with a comb. Apply the paste to the roots and the hair section. Wind the hair section into a coil. Leave it for atleast half hour. Regular use of this mix makes the hair supple, shiny and keeps the scalp in good health.

The most important quality of henna is its ability to impart color. The most commonly asked question about henna is, “Will it turn my hair red?” Henna does turns blonde hair red. Henna doesnot turn dark hair red. It only gives beautiful brownish-reddish tinge to the hair.

If you want henna to give your hair a rich brown color add 2 spoons of coffee powder to the above henna mix. If you have some grey hair, use of henna turns the hair reddish-brown. The grey hair blends well with the rest of the dark hair. But if you have much grey hair then the use of henna will make your hair reddish-brown.

Henna is useful in beauty and health. It is one of nature’s many miracles.

Create A Home Spa
By Julie Hunt

Here are 10 personal little home spa tips that will make you look and feel like a million bucks!

Squeeze in a few extra minutes to your every day self care time and you’ll see how easily these step by step pampering recommendations will turn even the toughest days around. Or if you can negotiate a few minutes here and there from your day to get even more time…by all means… do it! Your family, friends and co-workers will meet a much happier, more chipper, fantastically refreshed you!

In Preparation:

First things, first. No shopping, buying or leaving the house. Scour the house for a few fun spa essentials and make a decadent ‘Home Spa Day’ just with what you have tucked away!
Why put off what you could be doing right now?! I suppose if you are out and about and feel so inclined to pick up special bath salts, moisturizers or essential oils… so be it. I admire your level of commitment!

- Grab your robe and slippers

- Find a soothing CD that you absolutely love

- Scented candle

- A washcloth, loofah, bath brush or a new scrubbie back there in the drawers you forgot about

- Fluffy cotton towel

- Bath salts or essential aromatic oils (if you have them)

- Your cleansers, toners and moisturizers

- Coarse sea salt

- Plenty of chilled spring water (with a splash of lime or lemon) in the fanciest glass you can find

- Steep a cup of green tea

Let go of your day… your obligations… responsibilities… stress… and strain. Toss out the barrage of thoughts streaming through your mind (even if it’s just for a moment). Trust me… they’ll still be around later for you to poke at, ponder or peruse.

Try to relax. Take yourself on a far away vacation in your head, tell yourself a “Once Upon A Time” story, remind yourself what a princess you are and remember how essential these precious moments are to your happiness and sanity!

Welcome To Your At Home Spa Vacation!

1. Take it easy and slow down your breath, your thoughts and your movements. Put on your favorite CD and start prepping a very simple shower or bath in a wonderfully slow, deliberate and unhurried way. Take time to watch the candle burn, smell the fragrance, feel the soft robe or towels, look at the sparkling drops of water and run your hands through it… take in the joyful process of an every day activity that we just fly through without a second thought!

2. Use essential oils. Not only do they smell great, but they are extremely good for your skin. The rule to applying essential oils is to never apply them directly on your face or skin. Just add about five drops to a bowl of warm water. Soak a washcloth in the water and then apply to your face and neck as a compress for five minutes. Repeat three times. Gently towel dry and finish yourself off with an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory facial splash.

If you have a choice of essential oils to choose from, select one that suits your mood and purpose. If you are desparking the stress level this holiday, choose soothing oils (like lavender, chamomile, jasmine, sandalwood and ylang-ylang). Good revitalizing and energizing oils when you need them are peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary, basil and juniper. The aroma can also provide psychological and physical benefits too!
Essential oils can help with physical conditions, rejuvenate the skin, eliminate waste, alleviate stress, enhance your mood, restore vitality and facilitate the regeneration of new, healthy cells.

3. Basic Body Scrub and Cleansing If you decided you only have time for an indulgent, relaxing shower… start with a basic body scrub and cleansing. I found this fabulous new product called Spongeables (www.spongeables.com). It’s a soap and a sponge all in one. It lasts for a full month of frothy fragrant showering. My favorite fragrance is fresh lavender… and they have them fragrance free too if that’s more your style.

Whatever sponge, cloth or brush you decide on… scrub mindfully and only gently brush your skin. Gentle circular motions will increase your circulation and eliminate toxins and excess water.

Another in home spa trick is to mix an ounce of ground sea salt with 10 or so drops of your favorite essential oil. Add water and make a paste so it spreads easily. Apply it to your entire body and slough off the dead skin with big circular strokes. This salt scrub will exfoliate dead skin cells, cleanse the pores and help your body get rid of any toxins.

4. Draw a bath. Add 5 to 10 drops of an essential oil to bath salts. Grab an extra pillow, put a kitchen trash bag over it to keep it dry and then put a pillow case over that. You just bought yourself 10 extra comfy minutes in the bath tub. You might as well take a book too! Follow it with a warm shower and a dry yourself off with a fluffy cotton towel. If someone in the house really loves you… get them to toss it in the dryer for 5 minutes and greet you with fluffy warmth. If you have a body toning lotion handy, apply to your body (not your face) for additional firming and toning so you’ll look even better in that little black dress.

5. Be nice to yourself. These are your precious rejuvenating moments. Take your time. Pamper yourself and try not to get caught up in the have-to’s and the should-do’s. Don’t be in a rush. Not only will you lose some of the benefits of this quality time to refresh and relax, you may start sloughing off and using rough, damaging strokes.

6. Hurrying has its risks. Without slow, mindful, attentive movements, you could cause inflammation and jeopardize that fresh, healthy, glowing complexion that will make you a bright shining super star. You can actually accelerate the aging process by being too rough! Now there’s a good enough reason in and of itself to slow down.

7. Care for your hair. It is taking a beating in these winter elements. Add ¼ ounce of lavender to sixteen ounces of shampoo. Or for oily hair, add ¼ ounce of lemongrass or rosemary to 16 ounces of shampoo. Essential oils can make invigorating scalp massages. Rosemary is awesome! If you decide not to use the oils, make sure you at least give yourself a long, sudsy scalp massage. Close your eyes, lay your head back and drift for a moment.

8. Replenish lost moisture to your skin and hair this winter by taking two tablespoons of organic flaxseed oil twice a day. You’ll get rid of the itchies and combat wrinkles and sagging skin.

9. Treat your fabulous face. All the treatments above were just for your bod. Your face is special and delicate. The skin on your face is thinner and more fragile than your body. Treat your face with extreme care and gentleness. Even though it’s cold avoid extremely hot water, harsh soaps or any drying cleansers.

Grab a new wash cloth or small sea sponge, add a few drops of your favorite cleanser (preferably an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory liquid cleanser) and then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Apply face firming treatment then put an ice cube inside of a small plastic bag and gently rub over the face and eye area for several minutes to tone and plump up the skin.

10. Rejuvenate from the inside

Drink 8 to10 glasses of water every day.
Eat lots of whole foods, green vegetables, fresh fruits, grains, nuts and lean protein to reduce inflammation, replenish moisture and bring back a youthful glow.

Take 3 full, deep breaths from your abdomen (keep your shoulders still) to complete your simple happy essential home spa experience.

The benefits and joy you experience during your at home spa day
will be more colored by your desire and your intentions than any fancy, expensive products you can buy. Be mindful, set your intentions and gradually transition in to or out of your work day… always cherishing these simple, sacred rejuvenating moments.

Living Water
By Cathy Gatson

A wellness of beauty for mind, body & spirit
by Cathy Gatson

“When the well is dry, then we know the worth of water”, unfortunately many
of us take it for granted.
The significance of water is so much deeper than drinking 8 to 10 glasses per
day. Although vitally important; water quenches more than just our physical thirst…

Mind/Spirit
Wade in the water…. Just as water is significant in baptism because it symbolizes the cleansing away of our sins and the renewing of our spirit, biblically water is a reminder that when our spirit is dehydrated we can go to God’s well and refill our cup over and over again. (John 4:7-14& 7:38). Water represents the tranquility and serenity that is necessary to reflect, renew and seek peace of mind.

Body
Inner - Water is necessary for nutrient and oxygen transport and for absorption and utilization of vitamins and minerals. Our bodies are made up of over 80% water. We lose up to 2 -3 quarts of water per day, more if you exercise. That water loss needs to be replaced. Without enough water, constipation, dehydration and a weakened immune system can occur. 8 - 10 glasses of water per day is the popular belief but did you know for every caffeine beverage you drink like coffee, tea or soda, you must drink an
additional 8 ounces of water. You can determine how much water you need per day by dividing your weight by 2…the result is approximately the amount of water you should drink in ounces. Drinking the daily-recommended amounts of water will result in a healthier, stronger body as well as reduce your risks of bladder infections, increase metabolism, keep healthy bowels and reduces halitosis.

Outer - Water improves elasticity in your skin leaving it more supple. Water also helps the body rid itself of toxins, which results in a more radiant complexion and adds a healthy glow to skin. Keeping your body hydrated not only keeps your skin radiant but it reduces acne flair ups and chapped lips.

There’s nothing like a nice warm bath to renew your mind and cleanse your body. Add these goodies to your bath for a more enjoyable experience. Origin’s “Peace of Mind”
Tension-releasing vapor bath is very soothing if you like the smell of peppermint and eucalyptus. Or Bath&Body Works’ Aromatherapy Sleep Foam Bath is a soothing blend of Lavendar & Vanilla that will leave you on cloud 9.

Exercise - Swimming provides a great workout to your entire body. It’s toning from head to toe, while providing an excellent cardiovascular workout. It also strengthens your heart muscles and improves circulation. According to the American Heart Association, just 30-60 minutes of physical activity 3-4 days per week can help reduce your risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. As a regular physical activity, swimming can also help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. Swimming is a relatively in expensive sport to begin, since you don’t need much equipment. For most of us, a good swim cap is all the biggest challenge. For more information on pools in your area, contact your local YMCA, 24 Hour Fitness or gym nearest you. Swiminfo.com gives advice for swimming workouts.

Beauty really does start from within. So if you want to raise your beauty factor from the
inside out, just add water.

Have You Considered Hair Extensions? by Gregg Hall

How many times have you seen a picture of a celebrity in the tabloids or on TV and they have really short hair, but then the next time you see them their hair is incredibly long? How do they do it? One simple word: hair extensions. There are three types on the market right now. You have synthetic hair extensions, human hair extensions and there are clip in hair extensions, which seem to be the easiest to use.

Synthetic hair extensions are already dyed and some are styled before they are attached. They have a different texture than human hair. Synthetic hair is less expensive than actual human hair, but human hair extensions are the most preferred since they look more realistic and feel more natural than synthetic extensions. Some really good extensions on the market today are the Jessica Simpson hair extensions. Many of the techniques used while adding extensions come from African-American stylists that consist of weaving the synthetic or real human hair into the already existing hair. This creates a full and long look immediately.

You can attach the extensions like hairpieces. They can be braided into the already existing hair, or they can be glued in. They are intended to enhance the thickness and length of our hair. When choosing extensions, make sure you choose an extension that matches your hair texture and color since they cannot be dyed to match. When putting the extensions in by braiding, it will cause extra tension and stress on your scalp and could cause headaches. They can cause some irritation and your own hair could possibly fall out on its own.

There are many different techniques out there when adding extensions and they are a little less harsh on the scalp. Keep in mind that the synthetic extensions are not as heavy as human hair extensions and will not cause as much damage to the scalp. Your best bet is to purchase the clip in extensions, which cause very little damage to the hair and scalp. You can add the fullness and sexiness for just one night with the clip in extensions and avoid using the rather unfriendly chemicals, which can harm your hair.

Since the option of hair extensions is now available, more and more people are doing it. If you want long hair then all you have to do is go shopping at a quality beauty supply store or ask your hairdresser for them. You can add length to your hair for any special occasion. Once the special occasion is over, you can take the extensions out or you can continue to keep them in. The choice is easy to make.

Since hair extensions are so versatile, you can change your hairstyle and even your hair color. There are such a wide variety of colors available in extensions; you can easily match your hair color and the texture. They also offer a simple solution for different types of hair including fine hair, curly hair, and thick and wavy hair. Hair extensions can really add that extra pizzazz to your hair and with very little effort.

Hair Brushes, More Than You Ever Wanted To Know by Gregg Hall

A friend once asked me back when I had hair, “How do you know which hair brush is the right one for you?” I never really thought about it. Over the years I’ve tried several types of brushes, combs and such and just simply stuck with what felt good on my scalp and left my hair looking and feeling healthy, but not frizzy.

So I thought I would check it out and see for myself which commonly available hairbrushes offer the best protection and the most ease of use.

In order to carry healthy, manageable hair throughout your life, you need to learn and practice the following tips early in life and never forget them. The main goal is to protect and prevent your hair from being damaged.

Brush and comb your hair as infrequently and as gently as possible (Your fingers will do the trick). Do not use a brush on your hair when it is wet and start with a wide-toothed comb first. Be sure not to over-brush dry hair. Never twist, tousle or wring your hair dry in a towel, but instead squeeze it dry gently using your hands.

If your hair maintains a lot of static, it could be due to dry weather, dry indoor air or a fine hair type. However, you can also get static if your brush has plastic bristles or tines. In this instance, switch to a natural bristle brush or mist hair spray on the brush and restyle. Handle your hair as little as possible. Avoid direct sun exposure and don’t over do coloring or perms.

Now choose your brushes carefully.

As I have found over my years of brush use, all hairbrushes are not the created the same. Some are best for styling; others are ideal for creating smoothness or curvy waves. A lot of brushes are available for specific purposes. Once you find out what your needs are for your hair length, texture and style then you are on track. Check to see which type of brush your stylist uses. If you like it, buy it. This selection could change if you decide a short cut is more your style.

Here are some examples:

The Paddle Brush

This brush is flat, wide and is best for brushing out long hair and creating straight, smooth styles. It can also give you a mini scalp massage. Because of its shape and size this brush should not be used to brush layers. It will never add volume, which is what layers are for.

The Cushion Style Brush

This brush is for medium-length hair that is naturally smooth or straight. The flat bock reinforces the hair’s sleekness. These brushes will make the most of box shaped bob’s, the graduated cut and a disconnected outline. It’s called the bi-level cut.

Sculpting Brushes

These brushes are great for adding volume to short, textured styles that need some movement. They are great for backcombing. The best hairstyles for these brushes include short cuts, round layers and texture outlines like razor perimeters and choppy ends.

Thermal Round Brushes

These brushes can be found in all sizes, including small, medium, large and jumbo-sized barrels. When used with the heat of a blow dryer, the smaller brushes act like rollers and create curl. The larger ones smooth out locks and add body. This is a favorite among professionals. The metal core heats up, shaping the hair from the inside out. Some good thermal brushes are Beautee Sense and Olivia Garden.

Thermal Flat Brush

This brush acts like a flat iron, smoothing and straitening the hair when used with the heat of a blow dryer, thus leaving it with not bend or lift. Whichever brush you use, hold the hair taut with the brush to create tension. This stretches the hair so it can form the new shape. It also adds shine and polish to your look.

In closing, be sure to look for brushes that have ball tips that are molded as part of the bristle. Ball tips that are glued or otherwise attached can pull hair and damage it. Good brushes are an investment; if they are good quality and well cared for, they should last for years and your hair will be much healthier because of the extra attention you have given to selecting the proper brushes.

The skin of the head renews itself once a month. The upper layer of dead cells is shed in a nearly invisible manner. But in the case of dandruff the dead skin cells are shed unusually rapid in the form of visible flakes.

Most people suffering from dandruff are often seen itching their heads, this itching is not due to flakes. The itching is caused due to minor inflammation of the scalp caused by the Pityrosporum ovale (P . ovale) fungus.

Severe cases of dandruff are known as seborrheoic Dermatitis, the scalp looks red and inflammed.

The common causes of dandruff are poor health and hygiene, stress, junk food, hormonal imbalance and the fungus Pityrosporum ovale, it is also called Malassezia furfur.

Minimize the use of hair sprays, gels as they trigger dandruff. Shampoo your hair well, gently rub your scalp to remove the excess oil and the dead cells and the buils up of the fungus. Donot rub your scalp vigourously as it may damage your hair roots. Rinse properly.

Eat a healthy diet of fruits, vegetables, wholegrains and stay away from stress. Wearing the same hat worsens dandruff because it prevents sweat from evaporating.

Dandruff is not caused due to dryness of the scalp, infact an oily scalp is more prone to dandruff.

We use our hands to make many gestures, they are on the display all the time.
Rough, wrinkled hands can shatter your entire personality. The skin on the back of our
hands is soft and thin and ages more quickly than other parts of our body. A good routine is absolutely must to keep the hands youthful. After bath or any activity involving water apply hand cream to your hands. Apply a bit of your face mask to your hands, this helps to cleanse and improve the tone of skin of your hands.
Nail polish removers dry the skin and nails so after removing nail polish nassage a moisturising cream to keep the hands soft.
To get rid of waste debris and scales soak them in warm water, to which 2 to 3 tablespoons of salt is added.
To increase circulation in hands soak them alternatively in hot and cold water. This also soothes the nerve endings.

Our hands come in contact with several kinds of drying agents such as harsh soaps, detergents and even atmospheric changes affect them. Due to these reasons the skin on the hands looks much older than skin on the other parts of the body.
Use a good moisturiser or hand cream on a regular basis, also try to wear gloves while working in water. Have a manicure once a week to keep the hands beautiful.
