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.

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.

Home Remedies for Cracked Heels

Best Tips For Crack Heels

 Rice Flour
Exfoliating the skin on your feet and heels will help remove dead skin,
thus preventing  cracking and dryness. Rice flour can be used a part of
a homemade exfoliating scrub.
To make the scrub, mix a handful of ground rice with a few teaspoons of
honey and apple cider vinegar. Stir it until it becomes a thick paste.
If the cracking on your heels is extremely bad, add a tablespoon of
olive oil or sweet almond oil.
Soak your feet in warm water for 10 minutes and then gently scrub them
with the rice flour paste.
Repeat the process a few times a week until you are satisfied with the
results.



Lemons
The acidic property in lemons can be very effective in softening rough
skin that leads to cracking.
Soak your feet for 10 to 15 minutes in warm water with lemon juice
added to it. Avoid using very hot water, which can cause your feet to
dry out more.
Scrub your cracked heels using a pumice stone.
Wash your feet and pat dry with a towel.

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.
