Hi Tyronne, I have a few recommendations:

1) Buffing fingernails – this is a reflexology treatment that takes about five minutes and is very simple. Hold your hands in front of you, fingers curved in with fingernails touching. Quickly move your hands back and forth to ‘buff’ your nails against each other. This has been used for years to help grow and thicken your hair. Do it for about five minutes a day – twice a day if you have time.
2) Get or give yourself a full foot reflexology treatment, concentrating on cardiovascular, head and glandular reflex points. Do this twice a week to stimulate your system and blood flow.
3) Nutrition: here is a great post on how nutrition relates to hair health and growth: http://www.natural-holistic-health.com/nutrition-for-hair-skin-and-nails/
4) Tips to stop hair loss: http://www.natural-holistic-health.com/tips-stop-hair-loss/
5) Natural hair loss remedies: http://www.natural-holistic-health.com/natural-hair-loss-remedies/
6) We highly recommend this product (both the supplement and the massage oil) – it is guaranteed (money back for one year) and has GREAT reviews. One of our editors has used it and had really good results. You can read about it here: http://www.natural-holistic-health.com/natural-help-for-thinning-hair-alopecia/

I hope these tips help!

Many blessings,
Dee

I couldn’t agree more with the basic tenets of this article. They are all based upon one underlying principle.The only reason that your body breaks down with age is due to neglect.What this means is that if you continue to exercise into your 70′s and 80′s your body will still perform well. As the good book says, “Treat your body like a temple.”

I really like the aromatherapy suggestion! Really nice list of suggestions.In terms of diagnosis: Basically, we need to do some thinking as to what we were doing prior to the migraine. What kind activity were we involved with, what were we eating, when did it start. Are there any commonalities at all, and what are they? I mean that’s what I think what do you think?

Hi Neaveh,

I drank it when I was pregnant and experienced no ill effects. However, I would get approval from your OB/GYN to be safe.

Hello,Is it safe to drink activated charcoal during pregnancy now and then? I would think so as it’s written that “it is not absorbed, adsorbed, neutralized, nor metabolized by the body.”What’s your advice? It seems like that midwifes/doctors have no straight answer for this question.Many thanks

Hi Arlene,

Although it would depend on the particular virus, I have used charcoal successfully several times for bouts of stomach flu in my family. Oftentimes, it is the ONLY thing that helps. I would highly suggest that you buy bulk Activated Charcoal, however – not the capsules. Put about 1 heaping tablespoon in a glass of cool (not cold) water and drink after each time you vomit. There is no taste, it is grainy (which is weird), and you may have to do this 3 or 4 times. But normally, it does help a lot.

Many blessings,
Dee

Thanks for the list of dangerous food additives. I am very careful about reading food labels and what ingredients are added to packaged food. My motto is if you can’t pronounce it should you be putting it into your body.

Comment on Space Cleansing: Ridding Your Home of Negative Energy by tishi

tishi — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:40:55 +0000

I have been living in my home for almost 9 months and I feel everything that the previous people have said… My ex fiancee used to live in this home for about 5 years and I know that he was definitely messing around with negative sources. Lets just say he left a lot of negative energy here. I have dealt with depression on and off my entire life but it seems the day i moved in here i havent been the same… I hate it here so badly. Ive tried to decorate, buy lamps, burn oils, candles, had my sister come over and sage the place and chant… ive prayed and no matter what the feeling wont go away. Everyone that lives here says the same thing… And when you go to sleep its so hard to wake up the next day. Like everyone that stays here even guests can sleep for 12 hours or longer. I am taking antidepressants and I am trying to feel better but no matter what i cant get rid of this feeling that this place is negative and harming me in a mental way. I also and my family and previous family and guests have heard strange noises constantly, things being moved around, lights and water turning on and off and just pure dread…. and doom… at times… what do i do? move? please help if anyone has any suggestions… i cant take it any longer… thanx

Just wondering, if the activated charcoal adsorbs Iodine (the mineral), would one need to supplement it? and if so, what is the most natural way to do it? (I am male btw).In any case I only plan to use it for a 1-week detox or so…

The Apple Cinnamon Spiced Cider recipe that you have posted was very helpful for me, specially that I hosted a tea party for my whole family on Thanksgiving Day, and they like the taste of the Apple Cinnamon Spiced Cider. The nutritional facts was also very helpful in determining the right persons to drink Apple Cinnamon Cider.

Comment on Getting Rid Of Night Terrors by Dee Braun, DrR, CA, CCT

Dee Braun, DrR, CA, CCT — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:24:42 +0000

Hi Chelsea,

Although I’m not convinced that lavender will directly address night terrors, lavender can definitely help stress levels and quality of sleep and therefore it is something I would try. It may very well benefit the night terrors and should definitely be of benefit for stress and sleep in general.

Comment on Help For Anemia by John Mickel

John Mickel — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 20:02:53 +0000

I have found a recipe for beans, bacon, tomatoes and a few spices that really helped me. It is from the Paula Deen website and requires only stuff that most people already have around the house. The tomato helps to release the iron content in the beans. Try it if you are feeling run down, dizzy and have pains in your chest when you try to move around too much. Chemotherapy made me anemic and this works even better than a blood transfusion plus it costs almost nothing to prepare! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/baked-beans-recipe/index.html

Dee Braun, DrR, CA, CCT — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:15:27 +0000

Hi there

I am not sure I’d recommend charcoal for use on the breasts for sore nipples, honestly. If there’s broken skin, there can be a tattooing effect and I honestly am not sure how effective this would be.

One thing I would recommend is a castor oil poultice (as warm as she can stand it). You can learn more about castor oil and its healing properties (and how to make a castor oil pack) HERE

If she tries this, have her wash off the castor oil well before nursing her baby.

And, here are a few other ideas:

Putting wet tea bags on breasts may help reduce the soreness a woman experiences after breastfeeding. We recommend putting tea bags in warm, but not hot water, and then directly onto the breasts, where the tea and the warmth from the water will work to soothe the breasts.

If a woman uses a breast pump to express some breast milk out prior to feeding her baby, milk will flow easier and it will make it easier for the baby to latch on to the breast. This, in turn, can help to reduce soreness of the breasts

Here is another great site which has a lot of info on breast soreness from breastfeeding:

I hope this helps!

Many blessings,
Dee

I love the idea of substituting ground turkey for ground hamburger. I love a good meatloaf and substitute ground turkey for hamburger. It is much less greasy and I believe the flavor is better too. Give it a try!Michelle

Comment on Using Homeopathic Remedies For Injuries by Wanda Bedinghaus, MD

Wanda Bedinghaus, MD — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:44:51 +0000

Great way to use Arnica. I also keep Arnica 1m in a little vial on my car key chain. I have helped a woman who just feel and had a nasty knee injury. Having Arnica with you at all times will help you in the acute situation. My mantra, “Arnica first” in any injury. Then you can be specific with other remedies depending on the nature of the injury.

Comment on The Pain, The Pain! Diagnosing And Fighting Migraines by Wanda Bedinghaus, MD

Wanda Bedinghaus, MD — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:40:16 +0000

Migraine headaches can be crippling. You mentioned If you are unsure which ones to use then it would be wise to consult a local naturopath or homeopath for advice. Homeopathy is a safe, natural way to deal with almost any condition. Also, neurofeedback training has been shown to be very helpful because many migraines show a “seizure” pattern in the brain wave (EEG). Stress can bring on many symptoms of chronic disease states and needs to be managed. emWave from Heart Math can assist in learning how to manage stress.Thank you for your dedication to helping people heal in a safe and natural way.Wanda Bedinghaus, MD

I used to get migraines from sunlight. If I went without sunglasses, I was in for it. Several years ago, I started taking one 250 mg. tablet of magnesium each day. I have not had any kind of headache since starting with magnesium. It might not work for everyone, but is certainly worth a try.
