How To use Lavender Oil For Best Hair Growth

Lavender oil offers so many benefits to the human body – even though it’s most widely known for its aromatherapy
applications, this oil has a lot of useful qualities for cosmetic purposes, in particular human hair.
A lot of people suffer from hair loss due to a medical condition called Alopecia areata. It’s an autoimmune disease where the
body will reject the hair follicles as being foreign objects. Lavender oil is an all-natural product that can help treat this
disease by aiding in new hair growth.

Benefits of using lavender oil for hair growth

Lavender oil has a sweet, soft scent – it’s distilled from the flowers of the lavender plant. Lavender oil has been found to
have regenerative properties and is quite often the core ingredient of many hair formulas to help treat hair conditions such
as dry scalp, psoriasis, dandruff, etc.
Not only does this essential oil aid with growth of new hair, it also treats sleeplessness, anxiety and stress – all side
effects of embarrassing hair loss.

If your hair loss problem is in fact caused by a psychological state such as depression, stress or anxiety, then lavender oil
can be a very effective natural remedy as it helps regulate blood circulation in the body – including the scalp – so in
general will help promote healthy hair growth.

How to apply lavender oil to hair for growth

For hair loss caused by Alopecia:-
Mix 100% pure essential lavender oil with a carrier oil such as coconut oil. 

Massage this mixture into your scalp daily for effective promotion of healthy hair growth.

In addition to the above treatment, try using an organic lavender shampoo and conditioner – always check the ingredients list
and make sure it contains pure lavender oil for best results.

How to Stop Bad Breath AT Home Quick Tips

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is embarrassing and can take a
toll on your confidence level. Bad breath can be due to a number of
reasons such as eating odorous foods, smoking, dry mouth, medical
conditions, gum disease, and sinus conditions.

Fennel acts as an excellent mouth freshener that helps control bad
breath. It also contains antimicrobial properties that fight the
bacteria in the mouth.
Slowly chew a tablespoon of fennel to freshen your breath and stimulate
the production of saliva.
You can also drink fennel tea a couple of times a day. To make this
tea, steep one or two teaspoons of fennel seeds in a cup of hot water
for 5 to 10 minutes.


Cinnamon
Cinnamon contains cinnamic aldehyde, an essential oil that not only
covers up bad breath, but also reduces the amount of bacteria in your
mouth. To treat bad breath follow this remedy twice daily.

Boil one teaspoon of cinnamon powder in a cup of water.
You may add some bay leaves and cardamom too.
Strain the solution and use it as a mouth rinse to refresh your breath

How to Stop Snoring Quick Home Remedies

Numerous products are available to treat snoring, but most of them
haven’t been proven effective. There’s no miracle cure for snoring, but
certain lifestyle changes and easy home remedies can be a big help in
controlling it.

Peppermint:
The anti-inflammatory property in peppermint helps reduce swelling of
the membranes in the lining of the throat and nostrils, thus promoting
easy and smooth breathing. Peppermint remedies work well for temporary
snoring due to an allergy, a cold or dry air.
Add one or two drops of peppermint oil to a glass of water. Gargle with
it before going to bed. Make sure not to swallow this solution. Do this
daily until you get the desired result.
If dry air and congestion are causing your snoring, add a few drops of
peppermint oil (you can also use eucalyptus oil) to a humidifier about
30 minutes before you go to bed and turn it on. Run the humidifier
overnight. This will help open up your airways so you don’t snore.
You can also rub a little peppermint oil into the lower portions of
each side of your nose before going to bed.

 Olive Oil
Being a strong anti-inflammatory agent, olive oil eases the tissues all
along the respiratory passages, reducing the swelling to provide a
clear passage for air. It can also reduce soreness. Use this remedy
regularly to also lessen the vibrations in the throat and stop snoring.
Take two or three sips of olive oil before going to bed daily.
Combine one-half teaspoon each of olive oil and honey. Consume it daily
before going to bed.

Easy Remedies To Relieve Constipation

Constipation is unpleasant, but you don't have to suffer. Try these home remedies to get your digestive system back on track.


Lemon
Lemons, or more specifically the juice from lemons, can treat constipation as it stimulates the digestive system and gets
things moving . This is one of the simplest and most effective treatments that you can try at home.
home remedy for constipation
Extract the juice of half a lemon and add it to a glass of warm water. You can also add a pinch of rock salt or one-half
teaspoon of table salt and a little honey to it.
Drink the lemon water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. You can also drink a glass of this solution in the
evening.

Figs
Figs are very high in fiber and act as a natural laxative. Those suffering from chronic constipation should include figs in
their diet. For the treatment of constipation, both fresh and dried figs can be used. When fresh figs are available, eat them
with their skin on. The skin contains most of the fiber and calcium.
Take two to three almonds and dried figs.
Soak them in water for a few hours.

Incredibly Easy Remedies to Help a Dry Nose

Easy remedies for dry nose...

Coconut oil

Coconut oil is simple, natural, effective, and it smells good. It also
doesn’t glob like petroleum jelly does, so the risk of a big chunk
getting sucked up isn’t there (although its solid at room temperature,
it’s softened before use here.)

You will need…

-1/2 teaspoon or so of virgin coconut oil
-Cotton swabs
-A small bowl

Directions

Place a half a teaspoon or so of coconut oil in a small microwave safe
bowl and warm it until it is soft enough to be easily applied (about 10
seconds.) It does not need to be melted down into a liquid, and in fact
should be left semi-solid. Dip a cotton swab into it and generously
cover it. Apply to the inside of each nostril so that there is a good
through coating. Apply up to 3 times a day (and always before bed.)

Almond Oil and Aloe Vera Gel

Almond oil is a natural emollient, or moisturizer, helping the
sensitive skin in the nostril to become softer and more pliable,
therefore lessening the chance that it will crack. It may also help
lessen evaporation. Aloe vera can help soothe the dryness quickly, but
it won’t provide the same lasting moisture as the almond oil. I use it
mostly for the initial relief (I refrigerate mine) but you can stick to
just almond oil if you like.

You will need…

-1/2 teaspoon almond oil
-1/4 teaspoon aloe vera gel (optional)

Directions

Thoroughly mix almond oil and aloe vera gel. Soak a q-tip in the
mixture and swab gently inside your nostrils. You can also apply with a
cotton ball that has been soaked, but I find this way to be slightly
more difficult.

When I find my nose dried out and painful I tend to sink into despair.
It sounds dramatic, but when it gets so dry it cracks and bleeds it can
really be a downer. Before actually realizing I could probably do
something for it, it felt like I had to suffer through the whole
winter, but with the above remedies (that are truly about as easy as it
gets) a dry nose is one less thing I have to worry about during these
frigid months.


Tips:

-Turn down the heat, turn up the humidifier. The heat will dry out the
air more than it already is, while the humidifier adds moisture. This
will also help if you wake up with dry eyes/a dry throat.
-If you are suffering from a nose dried out because you have a cold and
have been blowing it too much, using a saline spray can help loosen up
mucous and provide moisture/relief in a less harsh manner.

Natural Remedies for Bone and Joint Pain

There are several symptoms that may occur as bone cancer develops and grows, with pain being the most frequent symptom 

Epsom Salt Soak

A classic remedy for any muscle or joint ache is a relaxing bath with Epsom Salts. High in magnesium and sulfates, they are easily absorbed through the skin to provide quick relief and reduce inflammation. Add two cups of salts to warm bathwater and soak for at least twenty minutes. Alternatively, Epsom Salts can be used in a compress to apply directly to the skin. Simply dilute two cups into one gallon of water. You can also try an epsom salt with lavender, or other essential oils.

Hot and Cold Packs

For immediate joint pain, try a hot and cold approach. Apply a hot therapeutic gel pack to the affected area for twenty minutes. Immediately follow up with a cold ice pack for another twenty. If you can’t stand the severity of ice, let it thaw out while you are applying heat. Even a chilled pack will bring relief.

Super Amazing Simple Homemade Moisturizer For Winter Season

What people forget is that harsh chemicals can still be absorbed
through the skin, and with that in mind we set about making a natural
moisturizer.

This simple homemade moisturizer uses just three ingredients!
Here’s the main ingredients and why we used them:

Coconut Oil
Anti Aging. Again very, very moisturizing but also contains anti
fungal, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Has similar effects
on the skin to an antioxidant.

Vitamin E Oil
Scar healing. Vitamin E is known to really good at reducing scar
tissue, acne and skin blemishes. It’s why it’s in popular scar and acne
‘over the counter’ treatments. Additionally, the oil helps hold this
solution together.

Lavender Oil
Relaxing. Lavender oil is a well known antioxidant, helping to rid skin
of free radicals. It’s a great overall muscle relaxer and it’s similar
to vanilla in this respect.


Ingredients
1/2 cup coconut oil (where on earth do I buy that?)
1 teaspoon liquid vitamin E (where to buy)
12 drops lavender essential oil (where to buy quality lavender)
Method:

Yes, you wanted simple! We warned you. Simply melt the coconut oil (by
placing the jar into a bowl of warm water) and mix in the Vit E and
Lavender, give it a mix up and let it set.
Whip with a fork if you want.
When the coconut solidifies, you’ll end up with a mixture that contains
the health benefits of all the ingredients in one, quick and simple
homemade moisturizer.
That’s it – Enjoy!

Best Home Remedies For Uneven Skin Tone

uneven skin tone can be the result of discoloration of the skin due to
constant exposure to sun, acne scars, pimples, pigmentation or due to
any form of injury. Many women do not feel beautiful if they have
uneven skin tone because it makes us look tired and unhealthy.
There are many skin care products that promise us healthy and even skin
tone but these can be expensive and there is no guarantee that they
will work. You can get rid of uneven skin tone by following simple and
basic home remedies.

Sugar
Sugar makes a good exfoliating agent as it gently scrubs away the dead
and flaky skin to reveal younger looking and even toned skin. Make
sugar paste by mixing sugar granules with very little water. Add a
scoop of your favourite face cream and mix well. Rub the sugar scrub on
your face and other parts suffering from uneven skin tone. Wash off
with lukewarm water.

Baking Soda

Baking soda has natural exfoliating agents and is not harsh on the skin
as some of the commercially available exfoliators. It gently scrubs the
surface of the skin and gets rid of the dry and flaky sun that is
tanned and scarred and resulting in unevenness of the skin tone. Take a
teaspoon of baking soda and form a paste by adding organic water or
rosewater to it.Apply the baking soda paste on your face and leave for
a couple of minutes for it to work. Start massaging the face gently
using the tips of your fingers only. Massage for 2-3 minutes and then
wash face using lukewarm water.

Home Remedies to Shrink the Open Pores

A large number of herbs, fruits and vegetables aids
in tightening the enlarged pores. Although there are
a number of cosmetic products available in the
market, but you can’t eliminate these pores
completely from your skin. Try some easy on pocket
home remedies that can minimize the appearance of
open pores.

1.Ice Cubes

It is an instant remedy for open pores that will 

stimulate blood circulation and give you a healthier 

skin. Cleanse your face and rub an ice cube twice in 

a day for about 5-10 seconds. This is a toner that 

tightens the pores. Alternatively, you can merely 

wash your face with ice cold water. For more 

benefits, fill the ice tray with tomato or lemon 

juice and freeze it. Massage these ice cubes on your 

face.

Note- People suffering with sinusitis or meningitis 

should not use this remedy.

Honey is incredibly great for skin, as it has 

antibacterial, medicinal and healing properties. It

Natural Remedies for Itchy and Irritated Skin

These remedies don’t only work for bug bites. Many of 
these methods I’m about to list below can be used to 
ameliorate a variety of skin complaints: rashes, 
poison ivy, eczema and other itch-inducing skin 
problems.

Aloe Vera

We love aloe vera for just about every kind of skin 
irritation. Aloe is probably best-known for its 
ability to heal sunburns, but it’s extremely versatile 
as it soothes the skin and relieves swelling and 
irritation. If you live in Southern California, 
there’s probably an 85% chance it’s already growing in 
your yard.
How to use it: Break off a leaf from the plant, and 
cut it open lengthwise from top to bottom with a 
knife. Scoop out the gooey gel inside, and rub it 
directly onto irritated skin. If you have extra left 
over, you can keep it refrigerated in an airtight 
container for up to a week.

 Apple Cider Vinegar
This isn’t the first time I’ve sung the praises of the 
uber-versatile ACV, and I suspect it won’t be the 
last. Apple cider vinegar is an effective antiseptic, 
anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agent that relieves 
itching, especially itching associated with dry skin 
(for example: sunburns and dandruff). It’s also 
popularly used for pets with dry, itchy skin as well, 
by adding a few cupfuls to their bath water.
How to use it: Just put a few drops of it onto a 
cotton ball or washcloth and dab it on to the affected 
area. Use raw, organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar 
(Bragg’s is a good brand) with the “mother,” a 
strand-like sediment floating at the bottom of the 
bottle that contains raw enzymes and beneficial 
bacteria.
