Natural Remedies for Head Lice
Anyone with school-age children knows that head lice are becoming an epidemic, particularly as they are quickly becoming immune to known treatments. The female louse attaches herself to the hair using claws and lays her eggs at a rate of approximately eight eggs a day. The eggs stick to the hair and are visible as little white spescks. It is the eggs, rather than the lice, that we call nits. After eight days, the eggs hatch nd each louse lives for five weeks or so, They piece the skin to feed on our blood. The bites look like little pinpricks and produce inflammation and itchiness which are the hallmark of a lice infestation.
Did you know stress can actually show up in our feet? Our feet are in need of some major pampering on a regular basis. This natural regime is the perfect remedy for removing some of those toxins, and giving your feet the attention they so much deserve.
Have you ever heard of dry brushing? It is a centuries old practice of massaging and exfoliating the skin to improve its health and appearance. Your skin is the biggest organ you have and it constantly regenerates itself by eliminating toxic and dead skin cells. Your skin can eliminate as much as two pounds of this waste material each day. Your skin needs to renew itself and breath for it to look its best and dry brushing can help. When your skin is clogged with dead skin cells and toxins that cannot be eliminated by perspiration, then your skin will suffer. Your skin needs air and sunlight so getting rid of excess waste through exfoliation is vital. Most people already know that they need to exfoliate their faces but in reality your whole body can benefit from exfoliation.
