So to compliment our little challenge I am posting some info about ayurveda and how we can use it to keep us beautiful...by any means NATURAL. Happy Reading! Questions just Holla ;-)

So to compliment the hairyuveda challenge am posting a list here of some of the more well known (and a few not so well known) Ayurvedic Preparations.
First what does ayurveda mean any old way so here's a quote,
"Ayurveda
combines the Sanskrit
words ayur (life) and veda (knowledge).
The name aptly describes
the essence of this ancient Indian system
of medicine."
-end of quote taken from http://www.pioneerthinking.com/insideayurveda.html

In Indian there is an entire system of doctors who are called "Hakeem" which in Arabic mean 'wise one' the doctors practice totally holistic medicine using only herbs to heal and cure all types of illnesses from pleurasy, gastrointestinal, brain disorders and even you guessed it HAIR problems like baldness and graying, dandruff fallouts whatever the problem is there is an herb for it(and many of the herbs pull double duty) so here's a small list of some popular ones and their common uses. If I forget some please jump in and add on ;-). ALSO I'LL BE BREAKING THIS UP INTO PARTS B/C i CAN'T SIT HERE LONG ENOUGH TO TYPE IT ALL AT ONCE, LOL

Trusted Brands for these products are: Dabur, Ramtirth, Hesh, Uttam, Ancient Formulae,Baidyanath, and Himani (to name a few)

Some Examples Ayurvedic Powders and Oils:
Amla Powder
- Amla is also known as Indian Gooseberry and is a popular powder to add to henna mixes. Due to it's high vitamin c content a few tablespoons added to henna is acidic enough to trigger dye release. Amla promotes hair growth by strengthening the roots of the hair. Also helps with premature graying and can tone down henna coppery reds to reddish browns.

Amla Oil- Has the same benefits as the powder most oils can be used as a pre-poo for extra moisture and added conditioning and Dabur  'Amla Gold Oil' which has the added benefit of henna and almonds and B-N-B has our organic Amla Oil which is perfect for those of us who need permeability of rich oils like Argan and Sesame in a naturally scented oil that is suitable for so many things (best choice if you don't use mineral oil based products)

Brahmi Powder- is known for making hair thicker and more dense and full and if you need a good nights sleep give yourself a brahmi it also helps to strengthen hair roots and control dandruff

Brahmi Oil(Ramtirth)- this oil contains brahmi but also contain about 22 other herbs infused in a coconut oil base in addition to what the powder helps the oil also helps improve split ends and hair loss

Bhringraj- also known as Maka powder is possibly the cure all for all of the damage we've done to our hair! It is known for curing hair loss due to damage or caused by other scalp issues such as alopecia, cures dandruff, prevents premature graying,acts as a 'brain soother' to help you restThis one is also supposed to help with postpartum bleeding and pain and acts as a 'multivitamin' for your hair

Mahabhringraj Oil (Maka Oil)- look for the same benefits as the powder in addition to helping with frequent headaches, itchy scalps and pruritis. FOR THINNING HAIR LOOK NO FURTHER!

Okay so here's to get us started next addition: shikakai, vatika, neem, and jaswand!!
part 3 we'll get into henna, cassia and indigo

It's that time of year again...You know when you look outside and you look in your closet and you think, "man, can't hide in these big fuzzy sweaters much longer!"
 Well, this is when you get yourself in gear and get in motion.
 Start that new exercise routine, join a pilates group, grab a few new DVD's whatever but get committed and along with exercise there are a few things that have been around for centuries that can help out.





Organic Green Tea & Amla Weightloss Tea










I am about 100% sure you've heard of green tea.
Good for your skin, good for your body overall well being but is also a MAIN ingredient in several diet supplements.
For ages people have been using green tea to improve their health and maintain healthy weight margins. So it dawned on me...I love green tea (cold though I'm not a hot tea drinker lol) and so o lots of people so why is it that all these green tea drinkers aren't nice "healthy' weights.<p> Well, what your local grocer won't tell you is that the stuff that makes green tea FAB is called "catechins" and the higher the concentration of catechins the better the tea is for you. Improves bodily functions , including giving your metabolism a boost, and without it green tea is just "green", and you will not find the premium goods unless you know what to look for and where to find it (and now your search is over :-)



Now if you've read any of my postings on curlynikki.com about ayurveda or seen on the 'tube' or heard from a friend Amla is a staple of anyone (for the most part) who has integrated ayurveda into their life. But what you didn't know is that when taken internally Amla fruits act as a detoxifying agent AND helps with weightloss!!
Organic Amla Fruits
So with this powerful wealth of knowledge in hands we are proud to bring you our proprietary blend of organic(we love organic) DragonWell Tea, also known as Longjing which is a premium green tea reknowned for it's high level of catechins and Organic Amla Fruit (also known as Indian Gooseberry) to bring you our first signature loose tea blend for weightloss.

Full bodied, smooth and jam packed with the good stuff and for a limited time you get a 3" stainless steel tea infuser with ANY loose tea purchase (this also includes the Moringa loose tea blends as well.-no coupon code needed! )


FREE TEA INFUSER YAAY!!!

Well, good news IT'S NOT TRUE!
I personally contacted the owner of the Jamila Company (Abid&Co) and he reassured me it is a total untruth and sent me a copy of the most recent lab reports showing no signs of pesticide residue ~YAAY! so get your henna on with some peace of mind just check out the report below

Okay so how you wash your face is just as important as what you're using on your face and here are a few simple steps to ensure you get the most from your wash as well as your toner and moisturiser.

Once you choose that ideal cleanser(raw african black soap is an excellent choice and i'm actually working on a liquid black soap facial cleanser with jojoba beads and acai- stay tuned for freebies on that one)
Raw African Black Soap from Butters-N-Bars.Com

remember the first thing to do is rinse your face well using WARM water. Never use cold or hot water to wash your fae. Hot water an ause excessive drying, and cold water 'shocks' your pores closed but warm water is the happy medium that gently opens pores without leaving them too open like hot water leading to dryness.
Ayurveda Pear Soap from B-N-B
So rinse well with warm water and then apply your cleanser. Lather and then apply the lather to your face. Particularly if you are using black soap!!! Never apply bars directly to your face just work up a lather and put it on i a gentle circular motion. This increases circulation and ensures that your cleanser can get in to do it's job.


Rosewater Toner


If you choose to exfoliate do it at this point. Remember regular exfoliation can help us to avoid chemical solutions like dermabrasion. A gentle exfoliation on a consistent basis will keep you glowing!
Move quickly through these steps, only exfoliate long enough to go over your face once over then over any trouble spots no more than twice. Facial skin is delicate (not to mention being the most visible part of your body!) so treat it with kindness :-)

Antioxidant Hydrating Souffle'
Rinse well with warm water , never cold or hot. You want those pores to stay open. Pat your face dry and apply toner(if desired) at this point. Again move quickly because you want to apply your moisturiser to skin that is still warm/moist and not cold. If you allow your pors to lose then what is your moisturiser going to do? Its going to sit on top of your skin leaving you in one of two conditions. Either looking like a greased monkey OR feeling dry again in a few hours as if you never even moisturised in the first place- neither one is ideal.


So follow these simple, easy steps to get the most out of your wash and BE BEAUTIFUL ;-D
