										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Warm summer days and nights can sometimes be a struggle if you are hurting from too much sun, poison ivy, poison oak, mosquito, fire ants, bug bites, or jellyfish stings.</strong></p>
<p><strong>So, here are a few emergency remedies that may help you have a smooth sailing summer of fun!</strong></p>
<p><strong>What’s bugging you?</strong></p>
<p><strong>While summer is the optimal time for showing off toned skin and flaunting revealing fashions, it’s the absolute worst for bug bites, sunburns, and itchy rashes. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Whether it is a mosquito or beach fleas, some of these bites can be downright painful. They can also itch so much you almost want to scratch the skin off, which can create scars and wounds. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Stop skin blunders from ruining the way you feel or look with any of the following natural skin relief treatments.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mosquitoes don’t normally sting through loose-fitting clothing, so this is a good preventative measure. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors, while wasps and bees are attracted to light, bright, floral colors. </strong></p>
<p><strong><u>Non-Toxic, Anti Bug Bite Recipe</u></strong></p>
<p><strong>A bug bite deterrent that is easy to make yourself is made of a blend of one or more of the following ingredients. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Choose one or two of these <a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">organic essential oils</a> (2 tsp. total oil): </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external"><strong>Lavender essential oil</strong></a></p>
<p><a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external"><strong>Myrrh essential oil</strong></a></p>
<p><a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external"><strong>Rosemary essential oil</strong></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">Lemon essential oil</a> </strong></p>
<p><strong>1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol (you can buy this at a liquor store.) You could also use pure water, if you don&#8217;t have alcohol.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Combine a total of <a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">2 tsp. of essential oil</a> and combine that with 1 cup of 180 proof grain alcohol.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Place it in a bottle with a tight-fitting lid.</strong></p>
<p><strong>(You can also put it in a spray bottle to easily spray on before going outdoors.)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Shake well.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Test it on a small patch of skin first to make sure you are not sensitive to the oil and alcohol.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you are ok with the test, use it on your skin to avoid bites.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you are already bitten and you are itching and wanting to scratch the pain away, here are a few remedies.</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong> Rub aloe vera (either freshly cut or from a bottle) on bites and stings to ease burning.</strong></li>
<li><strong> Get relief from itches by applying a few drops of lavender oil to the affected area as needed.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Once, I was bitten by some kind of small black bug or flea in Panama. It was absolutely miserable for at least a week. I thought it was never going to stop. I read that sometimes these bugs lay eggs in your skin. I also read that it could have been parasites. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Since I had been all over the jungle and visited wild animal rehabilitation places, I was not sure where I received all the bites, or if they were even all the same type of bug or flea bite. It seemed to get worse a few days later and it wasn’t stopping. I was overwhelmed with the itch and was getting quite desperate to find a natural remedy.</strong></p>
<p><strong>For the most extreme cases, where you can’t get the itching to stop, I have found that food grade hydrogen peroxide can be dabbed on the itching spots with a cotton swab or a cotton ball. This solution will kill any parasite that may be inside the skin, but also oxygenate and destroy any infection in the bite. </strong></p>
<p><strong>It can hurt and burn a lot, so I would apply the hydrogen peroxide immediately before getting into the shower to scrub with tea tree oil soap and a body brush. It was very effective and stopped the extreme itching. (I used a 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide, which is extremely strong compared to the 3% grade sold at the pharmacy). </strong></p>
<p><strong>You may need to do this each day, until you are sure it has stopped the itch, killed the parasite, or stopped the infection. With much relief, you can be on the road to healing. </strong></p>
<p><strong>I order food grade hydrogen peroxide through the internet. It is extremely strong. You will need to be very careful when handling this and keep it out of the reach of children. You may want to use normal over the counter (3% grade) hydrogen peroxide, but the food grade is much stronger (35%) for more extreme cases. You can water it down a bit, if it’s too strong for you.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Two brands I have purchased are: Oxygen Wellness Co. and Pure Health Discounts.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If the backbone is out of alignment, it can cause itching. If the atlas bone at the top of the spine is out of alignment, that can cause extreme itching in the upper arms. (Just on a side note, if the atlas bone is out of alignment, that can also be misdiagnosed as a stroke in elderly people and MS in younger people.) </strong></p>
<p><strong>I personally go regularly to my chiropractor to maintain my alignment. </strong><a href="https://braindc.org/?inf_contact_key=aa92a958cee81882774c2b4ef21b497c680f8914173f9191b1c0223e68310bb1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external"><strong>My chiropractor, Dr. Michael Hall, is also a neurologist, and he has treated me on a regular basis for over 15 years. </strong></a><strong>Chiropractors all have different techniques, so find one that is best for you.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Poison Ivy or Poison Oak </strong></p>
<p><strong>Once I went with my husband to hike in the woods with our dog. Our dog was running around in the woods and got poison ivy on his fur. I was petting him and brushing off the sticker burrs, and unknowingly got the poison ivy from his fur. I used tea tree oil on the poison ivy and it was almost gone the next day. I used tea tree oil shampoo on the dog also. </strong></p>
<p><strong>A few years later, one of our house remodeling contractors had a terrible case of poison ivy. He had used cortisone, medicines from the doctor, and everything he could think of for more than four months. He was absolutely miserable. I gave him my tea tree oil to try. </strong></p>
<p><strong>The next day, he came back absolutely astounded at how well it had worked. His poison ivy was gone in a matter of days. <a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">Tea tree oil</a> also works extremely well for poison oak and fire ant bites as well. </strong></p>
<p><strong>I use the <a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">tea tree oil</a> on any itchy place, bite, or rash. It is especially good for bites that have a fluid in them. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties. It is not supposed to be used on an open wound. </strong></p>
<p><strong>I used it on a large swollen bite my son had on his back. It was the middle of the night and we were staying in a remote hotel built into the side of a mountain in Greece, with no medical care nearby. I didn&#8217;t know what to do, so I kept putting tea tree oil on it. The next day, the swelling had gone down to half, then the next day it was almost gone. We were so thankful.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Another use for <a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">tea tree oil</a> is for chickenpox. My son got chickenpox when he was four. He is a redhead and has very sensitive skin. I put tea tree oil directly on each spot all over his body. I thought it would help him not to itch or scratch. In the morning, his chickenpox outbreak was gone, with no scars, no itching, and no complications. It was amazing. His doctor was completely astonished, as was his preschool teacher. I have used it on just about everything ever since. </strong></p>
<p><strong>In my opinion, the New Zealand variety of<a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external"> tea tree oil smells</a> better than the Australian type, but both work really well. </strong></p>
<p><strong>You can also use aloe vera leaf gel on the rash to soothe and promote healing. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Oatmeal baths are also good for calming us down, as well as calming the skin irritation.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you go to the beach, a jellyfish sting can really hurt. If you have some lemon or limes, rub the cut fruit on the place that hurts. The citrus can help take the pain out. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Drinking carrot juice or eating carrots or sweet potatoes is a natural way to protect yourself from too much sun during summer. The beta-carotene in these vegetables gives the body some natural sun protection. </strong></p>
<p><strong>You can also wear thick clothing that covers your skin but doesn’t contain chemicals. Clothing treated with chemicals such as titanium or zinc oxide will break down in the wash, enter the water supply, and create hazards to the ecosystem. </strong></p>
<p><strong>So, whenever you are outside, </strong><a href="https://organichealthylife.com/covid-19-emfs-sunscreens-health/?inf_contact_key=bf8671f4dc1b32c2ae8c33c0bed11d10680f8914173f9191b1c0223e68310bb1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-wpel-link="internal"><strong>get some natural Vitamin D, put on some natural bug protection, wear natural clothing to protect yourself from too much sun,</strong></a><strong> eat beta-carotene-rich foods, and get into the shade if you feel you have been out too long. Enjoy your sunshine and fresh air! </strong></p>
<p><strong>I hope this helps make your summer adventures more enjoyable!</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it readily absorbs any products or patches you put on it. In a normal</span> day, the average person exposes themselves to 100 + chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and other personal care products, like toothpaste or mouthwash. Many of these ingredients (chemicals) have been clinically researched and shown to cause serious health problems, including cancers.</p>
<p>In fact over 80,000+ chemicals used in body care products have <strong>never</strong> been properly tested for safety by federal regulatory agencies.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Therefore, the quality of the ingredients is very important. Always buy organic if you have a choice. In this article, I will eplain ways and recipes, so you can have the healthiest body care products possible.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Be aware that body products are usually tested on animals, and also have ingredients in them that are toxic. This article contains some products that I have found to be toxic and that you should avoid.  I have also listed some products that are healthier, and some that you can make yourself at home.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">You have many foods in your kitchen that are healthy, less expensive, and really easy to use in making your own beauty and bath products. Making them yourself also ensures that you know exactly what is in your products. This is a fun activity as well as a learning experience to do with your children.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Always use organic ingredients, because non-organic food ingredients are almost always drenched with the glyphosate weed killer. Glyphosate has been listed by the World Health Organization and the State of California as a probable carcinogen. “Glyphosate exposure has also been linked with kidney and liver issues. While more pressing danger has been associated with Round-Up Weed Killer, the use of the pesticide in farming has resulted in finds of trace amounts </span>on<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> popular foods, like Quaker Oats and Cheerios.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong><em>Findings:</em></strong> Current litigation against Monsanto’s Round-Up product is ongoing, with dozens of plaintiffs claiming their cancer was caused by Round-Up usage. However, Monsanto recently lost a battle with the State of California to keep the ingredient off a list of known carcinogens. Monsanto is now required to label their product with warnings accordingly. <strong><em>Regulatory Status:</em></strong> After being called out last year for not including glyphosate in annual testing practices, the FDA began testing the herbicide; however, the testing was shut down soon after. A new testing period has begun recently, likely as a result of increased pressure stemming from these lawsuits. The EPA previously published reports saying that glyphosate was not a likely carcinogen, but with new studies to the contrary, and with California’s recent decision to list glyphosate as a carcinogen, perhaps it is time to take a deeper look into the issue. The EPA sets “tolerances” for residue from pesticides like glyphosate that remain on food products; American standards allow in some cases double the amount of residue than what the European Union considers safe. “(1)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Some Natural Face Cleansers and Moisturizers </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Honey is a natural moisturizer and has antibacterial properties. I use raw organic honey as my daily face cleanser. I love it because it makes my skin feel so smooth. Honey can also be used as a moisturizing mask. Put it on and leave it for 10 or 15 minutes, and then remove it with a warm, wet washcloth. Your skin will feel moist and clean.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Extra virgin, pure organic coconut oil is extremely good for almost any skin, but it is especially good for dry skin. I use it on my face and whole body.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Sesame seed oil pulls toxins from the skin. You can use it on your face or whole body. It has a little bit of a scent compared to coconut oil.</span></p>
<p>One of my favorite <a href="https://www.modere.com/?referralCode=j220555" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">supplements that helps restore the moisture to the body is Liquid Biocell.</a> I drink it and it has Liquid BioCell® in it. It is a new generation of collagen. It is formulated with their exclusive Collagen/HA Matrix® Technology to support joint and muscle fitness, connective tissue health, counteract skin photoaging, restore youthful skin, and support healthy hair, nails, gums and eyes. <a href="https://www.modere.com/?referralCode=j220555" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">They have a new facial lotion as well.</a></p>
<div><a href="https://www.modere.com/?referralCode=j220555" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">Here is a link to the supplement, liquid </a>biocell, that I love and have taken now over 4 years, that I believe in with all my heart.  If you want to order it or see the products, use my <a href="https://www.modere.com/?referralCode=j220555" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">code link here</a> and it will give you $10 off your first order.</div>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Face Masks </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">These are fun to make and do when you have daughters and slumber parties. My sisters and I used to make these when our friends came over. My daughter and I still do these together.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Avocado and cucumber mashed and blended together make a wonderfully refreshing, nutrient-dense mask. Cucumber slices can also be placed over the eyes to reduce swelling and redness.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Honey makes a very soothing and hydrating mask. Note: You can mix it with oatmeal and eggs for a nutrient-dense mask. Scrub it off with a warm, wet washcloth to exfoliate as well.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Yogurt is very calming and will help reduce redness of the skin. It makes a wonderful, cooling facial mask. Note: You can mix honey and/or eggs into yogurt, too. I like to experiment with ingredients. Strawberries and/or other fruits can be very nice to mash up and add. Experiment and find one that you love with the food you have on hand!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Eye Care </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Warm, wet tea bags are great for reducing swollen, puffy eyes. The tannins in the tea work on the swelling. I use English breakfast or chamomile tea for this. I put a tea bag in a cup of warm water and let it sit for a moment.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">I put an old, dark towel under my head (so my good towels don’t get stained), and then I gently place a warm tea bag over each eye for about 15 minutes. It feels great and is so relaxing.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://nancyaddison.lifevantage.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">Life Vantage has a wonderful eye serum to help restore moisture and reduce wrinkles around the eyes.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Exfoliating Skin </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Combine almonds (ground into a meal) mixed with an equal amount of oatmeal, a </span>little purified<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> water or cucumber juice (enough liquid to make a nice paste), and some honey. Spread the mixture evenly on the skin and let dry. When it is dry, take a dry washcloth and rub the face to remove the mixture. This will exfoliate the dry, dead skin cells and clean out the pores. Then take a warm, wet washcloth, wash it off, and rinse well. Note: I use the almond meal I have left over from making my almond milk for this!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Body Scrubs, Moisturizers, Baths, and Foot Baths</strong><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Sea salt, along with a few drops of the essential oil of your choosing, like eucalyptus or peppermint, and a little olive oil make a wonderful body scrub to remove dead skin and improve circulation. You can use sugar instead of sea salt, but since it goes right into your blood stream, I would use sea salt.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">For a nice bath or foot soak, put mineral salts or sea salts in the bath with a little organic apple cider vinegar (to help adjust the pH balance of your body), and fill the tub with warm water. Right before you get in, add a few drops of eucalyptus oil and/or peppermint oil (to invigorate) or oil like lavender (to relax) to the bath or footbath. Put the oil in at the last minute or it will dissipate, and you won’t get to really enjoy the aromatic effect.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">You can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to add a scent. (Note: I don’t use the scented oil on my face, only on my body. I love using coconut oil.) I also like to put coconut oil mixed with peppermint or lavender oil on my feet and then put socks on for the night. These oils are refreshing. The socks help soften and nourish the dry skin on the feet.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Castor oil pulls toxins from the body. It is thick and gooey, but I have gotten used to it and use it fairly regularly on my face and body after showering. After I put it on my skin, I just put on my nice, thick robe and socks for a little while before I get dressed.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">I have been using oils for my skin for many years. I had a beautician put purifying oils on me a few times, and I was hooked. I found that my skin felt so much better when I used natural oils instead of traditional lotions. Olive oil, pure coconut oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, and apricot oil all make wonderful body moisturizers/oils. Olive oil has a little fragrance.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Hand Sanitizer/Hand Soap </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Since antibiotic hand sanitizers have been on the market, many doctors believe they may be contributing to the development of super strains of viruses and bacteria. Also, they absorb right through our skin into our bloodstream, so using an antibacterial soap or hand sanitizer is basically like taking an antibiotic. The antibiotic kills all bacteria, including the good bacteria in our body that keep the bad bacteria in check. These good bacteria are </span>a main<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> part of our immune system. Before antibiotics were invented, natural oils and foods were used to help protect the body from pathogens.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">In a <em>New York Times </em>article about Dr. Lawrence D. Rosen, (a New Jersey pediatrician who makes and sells natural health advice and remedies), Rosen recommended his recipe for a homemade hand sanitizer called thieves oil.(2) His mixture of oils came from a legend about a group of 15th-century European perfumers/spice traders who stole anything of value off dead bodies during the Bubonic Plague. They made a mixture of essential oils that had antibacterial and antiviral </span>properties,<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> and covered their bodies with the mixture. They also used this oil on their bodies to protect themselves from the germs—hence the name “thieves oil.” They contributed never getting the plague to their use of these oils.(3) Note: Weber State University tested the oils and found it had a 99.96 kill rate with airborne bacteria. (4) Dr. Rosen’s recipe includes equal amounts of therapeutic-grade essential oils: cinnamon bark, lemon, eucalyptus, clove, and rosemary. Mix the oils with coconut oil or jojoba oil as a carrier, and use it on hands as a sanitizer. For soap, you can mix it with a pure castile soap or soap from.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Skin Care </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">One day when my children were small, I read about how the innocent Minnie Mouse Bubble Bath I’d just bathed my children in could cause blindness. I was so alarmed. So I started researching and reading ingredients on everything. How could the U.S. government allow </span>toxin<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> and carcinogenic ingredients in our toothpaste, bubble bath, shampoos, and more?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">After going through my bathroom cabinets and reading all the ingredients, I threw out almost everything! Since then, I’ve been extremely careful about what I put on our bodies. Remember, what we put on our skin, our largest </span>organ,<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> is absorbed into the blood stream. <a href="http://www.nancyaddison.lifevantage.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">Be sure to use safe, toxin-free products</a>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Hair Care </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Olive oil, coconut oil, or argan oil can be used to moisturize and condition hair. Put it on the hair and place a plastic cap on it overnight (or even just for an hour or so), and then wash it out in the morning.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Letting your hair dry naturally as often as you can, helps your hair and scalp. Using a hair dryer is very drying and can cause brittle hair ends.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">For hair color, almost all hair dye is one of the most toxic things people use. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">There is a new one called: <strong>Hair Print.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">It is Hair Color Restoration, which is 100% non-toxic, made of eight food-grade ingredients.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Hairprint restores gray hair to its natural color. It is formulated specifically for brown and black hair. <a href="http://hairprint.refr.cc/addison" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">Hair Print</a> is perfect for the person who is avoiding <a href="http://hairprint.refr.cc/addison" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">toxic hair dye</a>. It also looks great on men!</span></p>
<p>If you are <a href="https://nancyaddison.lifevantage.com/us-en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">losing hair or getting bald spots, Life Vantage has a very effective scalp serum, combined with the NRF 1 &amp; 2 to restore hair health</a>. <a href="https://nancyaddison.lifevantage.com/us-en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">My friend&#8217;s hair starting growing back in her dark brown normal color after about 6 months, and her bald spots filled in. She is in her 70&#8217;s and she is thrilled!</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Teeth, Gums, and Mouth Care </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">The mouth is highly absorbable. If you read the box of some name-brand </span>toothpastes<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> or mouthwashes, you may see a warning that if they are swallowed you should call poison control immediately. The warnings are usually only on the toothpaste box and not on the toothpaste tube itself. In my opinion, we shouldn’t be putting any kind of poison in our mouths at all. I buy brands that are free of poison and not harmful to my body. <a href="https://www.modere.com/?referralCode=j220555" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">I use an essential oil toothpaste and mouthwash</a>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Do not share your toothpaste. It can spread germs with others’ toothbrushes brushing against the toothpaste opening.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Get a new toothbrush after any illness, or at least every two months. This will prevent the toothbrush from becoming too built up with germs. Use a tongue scraper to keep the tongue clean and fresh. Floss at least once daily to keep gums healthy and to remove bacteria from between teeth.</span></p>
<p>For safe <a href="https://www.idevaffiliate.com/32863/564.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">teeth whitening, I use a safe, non-toxic whitener sold at Primal Life Organics.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Look Out for These Ingredients: </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">When purchasing products, take your reading glasses with you and look out for these ingredients. I recommend avoiding them.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Something to keep in mind is that the USDA product is only regulated for the small amount of essential oil that is organically grown; the rest of the product can be any chemical sludge. It is left up to the consumer to sort out who to trust.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Companies know this and take full marketing advantage of uninformed buyers.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">The European </span>Union,<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> is highly regulated.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Over 80,000 chemicals have been created since the 1940&#8217;s. Less than 2,000 have been tested for safety, and less than 200 have effectively been deemed &#8216;safe for human consumption.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Over 1,400 chemicals are banned from skincare products in the </span>European Union.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">Only 11 chemicals are banned in the USA.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">In the European Union, one cannot hide ingredients behind a &#8216;proprietary blend&#8217; label, nor can they use chemicals in a skincare/cosmetic unless and until it has been proven SAFE.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">The US allows any chemical in a product even AFTER it has been proven DIRTY, OR UNSAFE, and then does NOT force the removal of harmful ingredients.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>DEA or Diethanolamine</strong>. This ingredient is used in many household and personal products such as shampoo, bubble bath, lotions, and detergents for laundry or dishwashing. DEA is a known toxin in industrial applications, now proven to cause cancer when applied to the skin of rats. Dr. Samuel Epstein, </span>author<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> of <em>The Safe Shopper’s Bible </em>and founder of The American Coalition to Prevent Cancer, is a leading authority on toxicology. He issued a strong warning about the use of cocamide DEA or </span>lauramide<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> DEA. Many products contain these ingredients and simply don’t have warnings on them.(5)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Propylene Glycol</strong>. This main ingredient in antifreeze and hydraulic fluids </span>is<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> used as a solvent. It’s also found in pet food, lotions, shampoos, </span>toothpastes<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">, deodorants, processed foods, and more. A colorless, hygroscopic liquid, it has been tested by the American Academy of Dermatologists and found to cause skin irritation at low levels. It can be harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed into the skin. It can also cause nausea, headaches, central nervous system depression, eye irritation, skin irritation, and gastrointestinal disturbances. (6)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>SLS or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate</strong>. This is found in detergents, concrete cleaners, engine degreasers, and more. It’s used in clinical studies to irritate skin tissue. It corrodes hair follicles and impairs the ability to grow hair. When combined with other nitrogen-bearing ingredients, carcinogenic nitrates can form. SLS enters (and maintains residual levels) in the heart, liver, lungs, and brain from skin contact.(7)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Talc</strong>. Talcum powder is a mineral made up mainly of the elements silicon, magnesium, and oxygen. Talc is similar to asbestos and “may result in fallopian tube fibrosis with resultant infertility,” according to the <em>Journal of the American Medical Association </em>(JAMA). “Talc’s harmful effect on human tissue has been known for quite some time. Long ago, its dry lubricating properties were used as a glove-donning powder (easy to glide on) for surgical gloves. As early as the 1930s, talc. was linked to </span>post-operative<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> granulomatous peritonitis and fibrous adhesions.”(8)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>“</strong><strong><em>Dangers</em></strong></span> :<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> Talcum powder has been linked to a higher risk of ovarian cancer &amp; lung disease. Additionally, it can contain asbestos fibers, which have been linked with mesothelioma lung cancer. <strong><em>Findings: </em></strong>Industry leader Johnson &amp; Johnson has been at the center of the talc issue. Already, four juries have found in favor of plaintiffs who claimed their ovarian cancer was caused by prolonged use of Johnson &amp; Johnson’s Baby Powder or Shower-to-Shower Powder. Reparations of up to $110 million have been ordered on behalf of the victims. Johnson &amp; Johnson continues to deny any danger, and their talc-containing products are still available across the nation.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong><em>Regulatory Status:</em></strong> While the FDA does regulate talc in food products, cosmetic products are not currently required to be reviewed by the FDA. There is no federal ban on the use of talcum powder in cosmetic products, despite bans on the use of the ingredient by the European Union. “(9)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"><strong>Alcohol</strong>. This is used in many </span>mouthwashes<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">. “Mouthwashes with a content of 25 percent or higher have been implicated in mouth, tongue, and throat cancers.”(10)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">In conclusion, read ingredient labels and be savvy about protecting you and your family from toxic chemicals in your daily life. I have found it is not that difficult to switch out what I have been using for a healthier </span>version,<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;"> since there are many new non-toxic brands available on the market today. <a href="https://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">You can click here to see the essential oils, baby care products, etc. I use</a>. <a href="https://www.modere.com/?referralCode=j220555" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">You can click this link to see the toothpaste, mouthwash, laundry/soaps I use.

<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino,serif;">I learn something new every day, and I try to adjust my purchases or lifestyle regimen, in order to improve on all of the things I have learned.  Having healthy hygiene habits and using non-toxic body care products will be extremely beneficial to our long-term health and well-being.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Many different cultures have used essential eucalyptus oils to help regulate blood sugar levels. What they have found is that eucalyptus essential oil can help with diabetes.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 100%;">In 2015, Colombian researchers found that Eucalyptus tereticornis extracts increased glucose uptake in vitro (test tube study). Research also showed diabetic mice had reduced fasting glycemia, improved glucose tolerance, and reduced insulin resistance when using a variety of eucalyptus essential oils.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Another study published in the World Journal of Diabetes reported that Eucalyptus globulus was the clear winner in this in vitro research study and found that the polyphenols and flavonoids in three eucalyptus species inhibited enzymes that played a role in type 2 diabetes.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Some ways to use it:</span></p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: 100%;">Add some Eucalyptus essential oil drops to your bath water with Epson Salts.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 100%;">Use some Eucalyptus essential oil drops in a humidifier.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 100%;">Massage your feet with the Eucalyptus essential oil.</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 100%;">The Eucalyptus oil I use is a certified organic version from the UK, with the highest standards. <a href="http://us.nyrorganic.com/shop/nancyaddison_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer external" data-wpel-link="external">Click here to see the certified organic essential oils that I use that are made by NYR Organics in England.</a></span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hand Sanitizer/Hand Soap</p>
<p>Washing our hands and keeping them free of germs and bacteria is so important. I read once that it was very important to wash hands at least one whole minute in order to thoroughly clean any part that needs to be washed. I think cleaning under the nails when we wash our hands can be important too. I read a study once that said we get sick 40 percent of the time, through our eyes. I know when I wore contacts, I was constantly rubbing my eyes. If my hands had germs on them, that would be one way I would become ill.</p>
<p>Since antibiotic hand soaps and sanitizers have been on the market, many doctors believe they may be contributing to the development of super strains of viruses and bacteria. Also, they absorb right through our skin into our blood stream, so using an antibacterial soap or hand sanitizer is basically like taking an antibiotic. The antibiotic kills all bacteria, including the good bacteria in our body that keep the bad bacteria in check. These good bacteria are a main part of our immune system. Before antibiotics were invented, natural oils and foods were used to help protect the body from pathogens.</p>
<p>In a New York Times article about Dr. Lawrence D. Rosen, a New Jersey pediatrician who makes and sells natural health advice and remedies, Rosen recommended his recipe for a homemade hand sanitizer called thieves oil.156 His mixture of oils came from a legend about a group of 15th-century European perfumers who started robbing bodies during the Bubonic Plague. They stole anything of value off of dead bodies. They made a mixture of essential oils that had antibacterial and anti- viral properties, and covered their bodies with the mixture. They also used this oil on their bodies to protect themselves from the germs— hence the name “thieves oil.” Dr. Rosen’s recipe includes equal amounts of cinnamon bark, lemon, eucalyptus, clove, and rosemary therapeutic- grade essential oils. Mix the oils with coconut oil or jojoba oil as a car- rier, and use it on hands as a sanitizer. For soap, you can mix it with a pure castile soap.</p>
<p>I also use a <a href="http://www.organichealthylifestyle.com/partner-products/" data-wpel-link="external" rel="external noopener noreferrer">colloidal silver hand protection gel</a>. It&#8217;s great if you are going traveling or are going to shake hands with a lot of people.</p>
<p>I use a <a href="https://oly91226.infusionsoft.com/app/storeFront/showProductDetail?productId=46" data-wpel-link="external" rel="external noopener noreferrer">mouthwash</a> with this blend of oils in it as well. Essential oils are very potent. You may find it wise to do a skin test first, to make sure you don’t have any adverse reactions to the oils of choice. In my opinion, these natural antibacterial oil combinations are a great, natural alternative to the “antibiotic” versions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here is a hand washing article, called Hand Washing 101.  I saw and thought it would be nice to share with  you. <a href="http://www.quill.com/content/index/workplace-wellness/handwashing-infographic/default.cshtml" data-wpel-link="external" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Click here to read.</a></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #003300;">Rosemary For Remembrance</span><br />
<span style="color: #003300;"> By Nancy Addison CHC, AADP</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #003300;">I used to give my children rosemary to put in their pockets when they were leaving for school. I wanted them to think of me during the day at school. If my children were stressed or anything, they could reach in their pocket and have a little uplifting reminder that I loved them. I had been learning about aromatherapy. I had read that children who smelled rosemary or peppermint would score sometimes as much as 20% higher on tests. So, I made it a point to add aromatherapy to our lives. I also love the smell of rosemary. I&#8217;m finding out more and more that it is also good for memory.<br />

<p><span style="color: #003300;">“A team of psychologists at Northumbria University, Newcastle, tested the effects of essential oils from rosemary.&#8221;(1)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #003300;">Dr. Mark Moss said &#8220;We wanted to build on our previous research that indicated rosemary aroma improved long-term memory and mental arithmetic.” (2)</span><br />
<span style="color: #003300;"> Dr Mark Moss, who presented their findings at the British Psychology Society conference in Harrogate, said &#8220;the benefit of aromas was becoming clear through scientific investigation.&#8221; (3)<br />

<p><span style="color: #003300;">I’ve studies aromatherapy for years and knew that we are able to absorb molecules into our bloodstream through our nose. Our smell being one of our most powerful senses. Our nostrils being very absorbent.</span><br />
<span style="color: #003300;"> “The chemicals also stimulate the olfactory nerve in the nose directly, which could have effects on brain functioning.</span><br />
<span style="color: #003300;"> Researcher Jemma McCready said ‘The difference between the two groups was 60-75 per cent, for example one group would remember to do seven things compared with four tasks completed by those who did not smell the oil, and they were quicker.” (4)</span><br />
<span style="color: #003300;"> So, take a piece of rosemary in your pocket today and smell it throughout the day to give you a lift and help you remember things better!</span></p>
