All Natural Hair Treatment for Damaged/Dry Strands…
Good Evening! I was on the Natural Health Magazine site tonight (which I love) and saw this…
Hair Care
Try this scalp treatment to restore fragile or damaged strands.
This rosemary-citron scalp treatment, designed by Barbara Close, founder of Naturopathica and author of Pure Skin, Organic and Beauty Basics (Chronicle, 2005), is especially good for fragile or damaged hair: Rosemary stimulates the scalp; avocado—rich in fatty acids and vitamins A, B, and C—helps condition hair; and grapefruit provides an uplifting scent. You will need:
½ ounce avocado oil
4 drops rosemary essential oil
5 drops grapefruit essential oil
3 drops cedar essential oil
½ ounce glass bottle
Fill a glass bottle halfway with avocado oil. Add essential oils, cover, and shake well. Fill bottle with remaining avocado oil. Cover and shake a second time. Pour oil into palm of hand and massage mixture into scalp and hair.
For more information on scalp treatments, look for the July/August 2007 issue of Natural Health. Share your hair care stories with us at the Natural Health forum.
Simple Trick to Help You Memory by Moving Your Eyes
Moving your eyes horizontally, from side-to-side, for about 30 seconds may be all it takes to give your memory a boost, according to researchers from Manchester Metropolitan University in England.
After hearing a list of words, the study found that those who moved their eyes side-to-side for 30 seconds correctly remembered more than 10 percent more words, and falsely recognized about 15 percent fewer “lure” words, compared to those who moved their eyes up and down or did nothing.Why would moving your eyes influence your memory?
The researchers suspect it’s because the horizontal eye movements cause the two hemispheres of the brain to interact more, and communication between the left and right brain hemispheres is known to help us remember certain things.
The researchers aren’t sure whether the eye movements will help people in their daily lives … but it’s certainly worth a try the next time you’ve misplaced your keys or forgotten your grocery list at home!
Today’s quote…
Hi all,
Found another great quote. This is a great one to remember all day and remember how loved you are.
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” ~ Buddha
Have a great day everyone! Shari
