Cold Hands or Cold Feet?

Try this: Take a spoon of virgin Coconut oil a day (orally) and they will get warmer.

Natural Organic Baby Oil

Sick and tired of the bad and dangerous products sold in the stores we’ve decided to make our own baby oil to use with our new baby.

Quite simple with natural ingredients and 100 % organic : Olive oil and virgin coconut oil (food grade) mixed together according to one’s own taste.

Very smooth on the skin, smells good (natural smell of coconut) moisturizes and get’s rid of the rashes.

We like it so much that we’ve made a version for ourselves adding to the recipe wild oregano oil and lavender essential oil

Now we really can say “our skin is as smooth as a baby’s butt”

I used it as a aftershave and deodorant as well.

Basically we can used it all over the body and even eat it if we want it

Oil Pulling Cures: Arthritis

This thing is unbelievable! It really works wonders! It’s unreal!

I added a few drops of wild oregano oil (4 – 6 drops) to my table spoon of olive oil and the magic happened.

No more stiffness or pain on my hands and the only thing I have to do is play (slowly swish, suck, chomp and pull through the teeth)with the oil in my mouth for 20 minutes.

Costs almost nothing and no side effects!

This is what Doctors and the Pharmaceutical Companies don’t want you to know!

Wow I’m still astonished!

Anyhow for more information and testimonials go to :  Earth Clinic

Already then!…

Here is a recipe for a tea that really works fighting the flu and what comes with it, such as fever, coughing, etc…

At home we all take this tea when there’s a sign of flu in the air. We love it, the kids love it and it really works wonders.

Usually the flu symptoms and the flu itself are gone by the very next day.

Recipe:

Lemons  (2)

Onion  (1)

Water  (2 L)

Honey  (2 -3 spoons or as desired)

A modified version: You can add a little bit of ginger root to it  if you want.

Peel the lemons and the onion. Juice the onion and the  lemons with a juicer ( and the ginger root if you opt for the modified version).

Pour it into a pot add the water and boil it along with the lemon peel (in case you don’t have a juicer at home just boil everything in a pot and that should work too).

Strain the liquid to a bowl or container add the honey and stir it.

Pour it into a cup and drink it nice and hot!

Before bed it’s the best because you give your body a rest at the same time but any time is a good time for a tea so do it as you desire.

Anyhow you should drink it several times during the day until you feel better.

Next day you will feel better for sure or your money back guaranteed!!…Just joking about the money back… well… it’s free so you don’t lose anything that means no complains accepted.

P.S. By the way this tea has been tested in animals and has no side effects

This is a very good way to get rid of a cough or sore throat

Recipe:

Onion (1)

Honey

Peel the onion and cut it in slices. Place the onion slices inside a small bowl pour honey to cover it and

leave it soaking overnight or if you really can’t wait that long (because of the coughing) take one spoon of it after 2 hour of soaking and leave the rest in the bowl till next morning.

Next day discard the onion and you have the magic potion that will get rid of your problem.

Take a spoon every 2 hours or as you desire and that should do the trick.

Our family uses this one as well with very good results. It works all the time and no side effects.

For some garlic is nothing  but a stinker that leaves your mouth unopened until the smell vanishes.

In reality garlic is one of nature’s super power immune system booster.

It has the power of cleansing and reinvigorating  your body.

It gets rid of the toxins and restores your health.

It gets rid of your asthma and allows you to breath again with full lungs.

It gets rid of earaches.

All of this and much more!!!!

Here is a secret that I’m going to reveal:

Grab a garlic clove presser and place a garlic clove inside it. Press hard and there you go -  you got it crushed.

Now grab a spoon and place it inside the spoon.

Wait… We are almost there…

Go to the fridge and get your favorite yogurt and cover the crushed garlic with it and last but not least… drive the spoon to your mouth and … zap… swallow it without touching the walls of your mouth to avoid the stinging and of course the smell  that may cause.

Now the hardest part:  Do this everyday for the rest of your life

…and you will never regret when you’ve gotten there!

We do this everyday after dinner. It became part of the routine now.

Yup!!! Water!!!!

Is one of nature’s most precious products, the best of all and we cannot live without it. Nevertheless we all waste it like it’s worthless.

If you really wanna keep a good health you should drink lots of it.

It cleanses.

It flushes out the toxins in your body.

It keeps your body cool in the hot Summer days. Actually, when you have fever  it helps to keep the temperature down too.

It keeps your thirst at bay.

You can swim in it or take a bath with it.

Preserve it please.

We (me and my gang) drink lots of water everyday.

You should drink half of your body weight in ounces.

Too much water can result in abnormal low blood sodium levels.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt per quart of water – every 4-5 glasses of water. *Warning! At the same time you must not overdo on salt. Always make sure you drink enough water to wash out the excess of salt.

I myself drink 2 glasses of water before breakfast, just to start my day and then during the rest of the day a few more glasses to keep me going.

Of course you should keep a bathroom in sight because you will make quite a few trips to it during the day.

Here is a recipe for a nice harmful chemical free – (like: Sodium Laureate Sulfate or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and others alike – Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a skin and eye irritant and can cause dermatitis with prolonged contact) -  organic and easy to make shampoo.

We’ve been using it for the last 6 months since I’ve put it together and everybody in the family seems to like it.

Recipe:

Empty bottle (1)

Castile Soap

Olive Oil

Coconut Oil

Honey

Tea Tree Oil

Wild Oregano Oil

Lavender Essential Oil

Water

Basically all measurements are according to the size of the bottle that you provide and more or less to your likes (you can be creative and change the ingredients too, however be careful with Essential Oils )

Pour ingredients inside the empty bottle 1/2 to 3/4 of Castile Soap, add a 1 or 2 spoons of Olive Oil, 1 spoon of Coconut Oil, 1 spoon of Honey, a few drops of Tea Tree Oil, a few drops of Wild Oregano Oil, a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil fill up the rest with Water and mix everything by shaking the bottle and there you have it ready to use.

We’ve made a baby version for our newborn baby without the tea tree oil, the Wild Oregano Oil and the lavender essential oil.

It’s not a fancy bottle of  Shampoo like the ones you buy from the store but does the job very well without the risk of contracting allergies or leaving residue in your scalp or even destroying your hair.

Note: If you want some thickness on the final product do not add too much water or you can just skip the water part. You should shake the bottle before using it.

Give it a try!

It can be used as Shampoo, Body Wash or Hand soap.

This is a secret  recipe used by the ancient Estonians 5000 years ago. ( just kidding) 

But it really works and is another way to get rid of a cough:

One cup of hot milk (since cow milk seems to be the major cause of arthritis you can substitute cow milk or goat milk for rice milk, soy milk or any other non animal milk)

add half of a tea spoon of baking soda, stir it and drink it  2 to 3 times a day until you get better.

Of course add some honey to get it sweet.

I found this natural treatment for arthritis @ The Elemental Miracle and thought in sharing it because it can help Arthritis Sufferers.

(If extracting the juice of the potato you can use a 50/50  mix with water)

Myself, I have not experimented long enough with potato juice to talk about it but you can check my other posts about Arthritis for very good news: Amazing Results with Apple Cider Vinegar , Oil Pulling and Wild Oregano Oil

Natural Arthritis Treatment Using Potatoes

The raw potato juice therapy is considered one of the most successful biological treatments for rheumatic and arthritic conditions. It has been used in folk medicine for centuries. The old method of preparing potato juice was to cut the potato into thin slices, without peeling the skin, and place them overnight in a large glass filled with cold water. The water should be drunk in the morning on an empty stomach. Fresh juice can also be extracted from potatoes and drunk.

In closing this segment on natural cures for arthritis I would just like to say, please don’t suffer through the “conventional” treatments for this disease. As you’ve just seen, there is a world of ways to deal with arthritic symptoms, naturally. Try them all! Symptomatic relief is all modern medicine has to offer the millions who suffer from this disease, and just look at how they do it. With harmful chemical drugs of all descriptions that in many cases can actually kill you, or produce so many other health problems, that can kill you. (just read the foot long sheet of information they come with) Additional health problems that they will no doubt want to prescribe more harmful chemical medications for, and on and on it goes. The AMA misery go round.

What about treating the cause? For that they haven’t got a clue. It was touched on here in the form of diet. Another natural way to treat the actual cause of arthritis is the elemental miracle. Of course as was mentioned at the start of this page, there are over a hundred different forms of this disease, and I won’t even try to insinuate that the elemental miracle will cure all of them. However many forms of arthritis are caused by bacteria and toxins, and the elemental miracle specializes in destroying all forms of harmful bacteria and toxins, no matter where they may be hiding. Even in the deepest recesses of the body, next to bones and joints. Many people have given credit to the elemental miracle for single handedly ending their long relationship with arthritis. The disease itself, not just it’s symptoms. Why not give it a try? My heart goes out to you, or those that you love, who suffer from this horrible disease. I know there was enough information given here to put you well on your way, to freedom from at least the painful symptoms of arthritis. My best wishes to you and yours, persevere and you will succeed.
