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 Labels: amla, ayurveda, brahmi, cassia, hair loss, henna, indigo, Natural Challenge, natural hair, natural hair care, natural regimine by: Butters-N-Bars 0 Comments

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.
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!!
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! )

Morning All!
Just a quickie but biggie. I know many of you love Jamila Henna as much as I do and recently someone has been circulating rumors that it may contain pesticides.
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)
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.
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 :-)
So follow these simple, easy steps to get the most out of your wash and BE BEAUTIFUL ;-D by: Butters-N-Bars 0 Comments |
