Vitamin E


"Just Joe"

Wheatgrass seed

Wheatgrass grows quickly, keep it moist.

This is ready to be cut and juiced.

Procedure: Put the wheatgrass into a blender with a little sterilized water and blend until nearly a pulp.

Wheatgrass refers to the young grass of the common wheat plant, Triticum aestivum, that is freshly juiced or dried into powder for animal and human consumption. Both provide chlorophiyll, amino acids, minerals, vitamins and enzymes.

Clinical and reserch evidence has revealed the "Grass juice Factor" to have among other properties a powerful effect on the regeneration of damaged skin and health in general.

Put the pulp into a squeaky clean small piece of linen. Squeeze out all the juice .

110 ml basic face cream.

add 4-5 teaspoons wheatgrass juice. (The rest can be frozen in a flat sheet or in a ice cubecontainer to be used later.

10 drops Vitamin E

10 drops Rosehip oil

10 drops Rose oil

mix all the ingredients. Fill small, dark pots and keep refrigerated to keep the cream fresh. The one you use does not need to be refrigerated.

If you want you can use more of all the ingredients there is no harm in it, espescially if you have inflamed or very dry skin.

Rose Oil
Rose oil is one of the most antiseptic essences. This combined with its slightly tonic and soothing qualities and its action on the capillaries, make it useful for virtually all types of skin. It is particularly good for mature, dry, or sensitive skin and for any kind of redness, or inflammation.

Rose oil has no equal in skin care for moisturising, firming, smoothing and repairing the skin. In so doing, it produces no irritation, being cooling, calming and soothing. Rose also has a positive effect on broken superficial capillaries and is thus ideal for mature, dry or sensitive skin.

Roship Oil
Rose Hip Oil has been found to be highly beneficial to facial skin because of its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (Linoleic Acid 47% and Linolenic Acid 31%.). Fatty acids have a very important function in regeneration of skin cells and damaged tissues

Vitamin E
Vitamin E is the collective name for a set of 8 related tocopherols and tocotrienols. They are fat-soluble vitamins with antioxidant properties.

As an antioxidant, Vitamin E is essential for protecting body tissue from the damage of oxidation by neutralising free radicals in the body that cause tissue and cellular damage. It is important in the formation of red blood cells and also contributes to a healthy circulatory system.

The finished product. This is a fantastic face cream. It can also be used for cuts or abrasions, burns etc.

I usually buy a basic face cream (from the oil garden) and add my ingredients.

It is easy to make a basic face cream yourself.

A basic natural skin cream consists of the following four ingredients:

Blended oils, beeswax, coconut/cocoa butter, and grapefruit seed extract.

Blended oils hydrate and nourish skin that has been stripped of its natural oils.

Beeswax forms a protective coating against the elements, such as sun and wind.

Coconut or cocoa butter is a more viscous, solid, substance, and provides the base for the cream itself.

Grapefruit seed extract is a natural antibiotic, preserving the cream against molds.

To find out which oils would be best for your skin type, go to a local health food store or a pharmacy and try out small samples of the oils on your skin. The oil should be absorbed without leaving too much greasy residue.

For dry skin are the following oils recommended: Avocado oil, it is also for sensitive and mature skin. Sesame oil is also a natural sunscreen. Peanut oil, and Shea butter is a natural sunscreen.

For oily skin the following oils are recommended:

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax. It is less greasy than most oils. Grapeseed oil is a dry oil. Wheat germ oil is high in vitamins and minerals and is recommended for all skin types.

Organic Tip of the week:
Keep away from Aspartame!

Aspartame Dangers
The dangers of aspartame poisoning have been a well-guarded secret since the 1980s. The research and history of aspartame is conclusive as a cause of illness and toxic reactions in the human body. Aspartame is a dangerous chemical food additive, and its use during pregnancy and by children is one of the greatest modern tragedies of all.

Why haven't you heard about this before?

Partly because the diet industry is worth trillions of American dollars to corporations, and they want to protect their profits by keeping the truth behind aspartame's dangers hidden from the public. When NutraSweet® was introduced for the 'second' time in 1981, a diet craze revolutionized America's eating protocols and a well-oiled money machine was set into motion changing modern lifestyles. After more than twenty years of aspartame use, the number of its victims is rapidly piling up, and people are figuring out for themselves that aspartame is at the root of their health problems. Patients are teaching their doctors about this nutritional peril, and they are healing themselves with little to no support from traditional medicine.

Aspartame Side Effects
There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption. It seems surreal, but true. How can one chemical create such chaos?
Aspartame dissolves into solution and can therefore travel throughout the body and deposit within any tissue. The body digests aspartame unlike saccharin, which does not break down within humans.
The multitude of aspartame side effects are indicative to your genetic individuality and physical weaknesses. It is important to put two and two together, nonetheless, and identify which side effects aspartame is creating within you.

Aspartame changes the ratio of amino acids in the blood, blocking or lowering the levels of serotonin, tyrosine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline. Therefore, it is typical that aspartame symptoms cannot be detected in lab tests and on x-rays. Textbook disorders and diseases may actually be a toxic load as a result of aspartame poisoning. http://www.sweetpoison.com/

I have always had a healthy disrespect for all sort of chemical foodstuff.

Thank you for your visit and have a nice day!
