Holistic hair: Pet my head

   Who would have ever guessed I could enjoy long hair ...me....the lass who forever endured the effects of thyroid hair for years. And what do I mean by thyroid hair? Dry, brittle, split ends, breakaway and dull looking hair. Hair that frizzed with just a 5 mph wind. Hair that would only tame with a washing (or so I thought). 

   In my years long quest to cut away from chemicals, I have cut out shampooing( besides dry shampoo), hair conditioner, all non-natural hair products, and have arrived to a place where my hair chemical dependancy lies solely in color treatment....yes thanks to my thyroid, I enjoyed my first gray hair at the tender age of 14. I color and find much enjoyment in it. 

   Ok back to my newest chemical free love, the 100% boar hair bristle brush! This brush is truly amazing. It cleans my hair with each stroke. It separates and coats each strand of my hair with my own protecting oil. This creates shine and protects from breakage and split   ends. The soft bristles massage my own oil glands and opens hair pores for more hair growth. The blood flow stimulates hair follicles. My scalp feels gently massaged and recharged. It is the best $15 I have spent! Also this brush should last my lifetime-hello new hair bestie!

   Natural hairbrushing is easy too! 

• Brush from root to tip of hair strand
• Brush hair in sections
• Use your natural boar hair brush on dry hair onlyhttps://conair.hair-brush.org/
• Use a wide toothed comb to remove hair snarls
• Brush hair twice daily
• Regularly clean your brush by using a comb to remove any hair, dandruff or chemical build-up from products.

    You’ll find yourself really enjoying that scalp massage and shiny hair from your new holistic hair care routine! It is really that simple!

I gain ziñch out of pushing products. But I’ve gotten lots of requests asking where I found my brush. Check in with your local Walgreens! Or Conair .

Blessings!

Joint healthy soup recipe

 

  It’s a balmy minus 2 degrees Fahrenheit as I write this blog...perfect day for homemade soup! I recall both of my grandmotgers using up all of  their leftovers to the max...may I introduce you to the magic food known as bone broth. Its that magic potion for chronic inflammation sufferers! 

    Bone broth has a multitude of benefits! The collagen in bone broth lubricates joints, feeds the elasticity of your skin and feeds you hair and nails! Many of us who suffer from chronic pain, often have found out gut health to be less than optimal. Bone broth also helps heal the intestinal tract, too. Theres a whole list of benefits and you can click here to read about it from expertts.

   On to MY personal expertise...awesome and easy gluten free cuisine! Here’s  my recips for easy and fast gluten free asian  soup with bone broth as a base!

Gluten-Free Asian Hot Soup

1 cup bone broth (I use beef  because I need the iron)

1 cup filtered water

1 clove fresh garlic

1/4 inch freshly gratedginger root 

1 Tbsp. Amino Acids

Dash of fish sauce

Dash of sesame oil

I - 2 raw whole farm fresh egg

2-4 crumbled sheets of the snack-sized seaweed sheets

1 Tbsp. Korean chili sauce

Optional:

Handful of thin or stir fry rice noodles

Tofu

Fresh vegetables

Throw all your ingredients in a glass microwave-safe bowl. Place a loose cover over the bowl. Microwave for two and a half minutes, stir, and cook for additional two minutes and thirty seconds. 

Transfer to serving bowl or bowls. This makes one super hearty serving or two small servings to go along with a half sandwich or homemade sushi roll!
