Keep Your Skin Protected After Sun Exposure With Essential Oils

July 15th, 2010

It’s summertime again, and time to break out the sunscreen to help protect our skin and keep it happy and healthy. Much of the unwanted effects from sun over-exposure are due to the generation of free radicals in our dermal layers — a process that continues long after we’ve stepped out of the sunlight. Inflammation and tissue damage occurs on a cellular level, and long term sun damage can result if this occurs frequently. Fortunately, we can apply antioxidant and anti-inflammatory formulas topically to keep our skin happy and healthy after sun exposure.

Therapeutic grade essential oils all have antioxidant activity. Many oils have exceptionally high “oxidative radical absorbance capacity” readings found through laboratory testing. From the hard work of scientists, we can select essential oils that will have beneficial effects on our skin, not only through their antioxidant protection, but through other skin healing actions as well. A recent journal publication reported that the essential oil of Myrrh did even better than a potent man-made antioxidant at quenching singlet-oxygen free radicals generated by UV exposure. And all we have to do is rub a little of this precious oil into our skin!

Making your own formula can be fun, and it’s really easy to do. You only need to select a few essential oils and blend them into a natural “carrier oil” base. All these oils absorb particularly well into the skin in a few minutes, without any “oily” feeling. The essential oils are easy to choose: Lavender essential oil, particularly Lavendula angustifolia, may be your first choice. Lavender has a great many healing properties for the skin; it is syngergistically anti-inflammatory, regenerative, and soothing at the same time. It is perfect for general skincare and after-sun use, and is called for by many aromatherapists in cases of sunburn.

Blue tansy is a wonderful essential oil that is frequently used for its anti-inflammatory action in skin care. Blue tansy is seen in many blends for dermatitis and skin irritation, and it will impart its deep blue cooling nature in your after sun healing recipe. It has a lovely ‘blueberry patch in the forest’ aroma loved by everyone who comes across it. It will also reduce allergic reactions that give us itchy skin in the summertime. Use in relatively small concentrations, of approximately one to two percent in your overall formula. If blue tansy is not readily available, blue chamomile is a perfect substitute.

Helichrysum may be the most dramatically anti-inflammatory and regenerative oil used in skin care. While expensive, just a small amount will have important healing effects. Helichrysum is used in wound healing and scar removal blends, and will do just as well for daily facial care for “mature” skin.

Sandalwood essential oil has recently been the subject of research noting its protective effects for the skin, actually preventing skin cancer when applied before sun exposure. The mechanism of action implies that this same protective effect should occur when applied after sun exposure as well. Another exotic oil has also been researched for anticancer activity: Frankincense. You’ll also find this oil prominently in blends for aging skin, having been researched to actually reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and result in smoother skin texture. Its range of effects makes it an excellent addition to your recipe.

A relative newcomer on the block is sea buckthorn; the oil is cold-distilled from the berries of a bush found in Eastern Europe. Sea Buckthorn “CO2 extract” is now found in many of the world’s most exclusive skincare products, and is very cost-effective when added to your own creations. Its sweet, fruity aroma is very appealing, and its deep red color indicates the many beta-carotene compounds naturally occurring in this oil. Sea buckthorn is highly-recommended for addition to all daily-use aromatherapy skin care blends, and is particularly suited for an after-sun formulation.

If you feel like getting creative, you can include other ingredients that are readily available at health food stores or on the Internet. You can squeeze a couple vitamin E capsules into your blend, or add Ester-C, a non-acidic form of vitamin C, both of which are excellent antioxidants when topically applied to the skin.

All these ingredients will be based in natural “carrier oils”. Carrier oils are common seed and nut oils like avocado, apricot kernel, evening primrose, jojoba, hemp, tamanu and rosehip seed. Any of these oils alone will work wonderfully, though you can use two or more together to provide a synergy of healthy action for your skin. A general-purpose formula may include avocado and jojoba; a potent formula for extra skin health support might include evening primrose, tamanu, and rosehip seed.

The recipes are really flexible and easy to make. You can easily tailor them to your own needs, or to those of your children and other loved ones. Simply choose one or more essential oils and add them to your carrier oil mixture at the rate of between 14 and 35 total drops per ounce. The idea is that you want to have a total essential oil concentration of somewhere between 2 and 5%. Seven drops of essential oil in one once of carrier oil equals a one-percent concentration.

Here’s an example recipe: Make 4 ounces of base using one third apricot kernel, one third tamanu, and one-third rosehip seed (you can simply estimate each in an empty 4 ounce bottle). To this, add 56 drops lavender, 28 drops blue tansy, sea buckthorn and sandalwood — include 15 drops of vitamin E and 2 grams of ascorbyl palmitate for that extra nutraceutical enhancement. You can substitute or add any other essential oil you like, noting that in this formula, 28 drops equals a 1% concentration (and the essential oil concentration is already at 4%). While simple, these formulas will reduce inflammation and quench oxidative radical activity in your skin. These oils are gentle enough for family members of all ages, though for the very young ones use only a quarter as much essential oil in the recipe.

Juice For Truly Natural Anti Aging

June 7th, 2010

Any natural anti aging program should start with a clean and healthy diet that includes fresh-made juice. But you have to know what kinds of juice will give you the results you are looking for.

Fruit juice is a considered nature’s body cleanser. It helps flush away toxins, excess fat and waste that your body does not need. Fresh fruit juice can help your body’s natural cleansing process.

Different fruit juices have different effects. Citrus juice, such as lemon juice, lime juice and even grapefruit juice, all stimulate your lymphatic system to help clear waste from your body. The antioxidants in citrus juice helps protect your body from free radicals which can damage cells, prematurely age them and even lead to cancer.

Pomegranate juice and cherry juice both aid in cardiovascular health. Studies done on each show the ability of these juices to help clear plaque allowing your blood to flow more freely. Cherry juice is used by some to reduce pain in the joints caused by arthritis.

Apple juice is an excellent choice to add to a diet. It helps lower cholesterol, protect your brain from oxidative stress, adds plenty of whole nutrition and helps clear internal waste and toxins. To get the real benefits, try organic, unfiltered apple juice or make your own.

Fresh carrot juice is credited for beautiful, healthy, glowing skin by many health advocates. It is well-known that those who drink their carrot juice will keep their beautiful skin much longer than the average person as well as keeping eyesight strong.

Vegetable juice made from dark, leafy greens is also highly beneficial. These may include kale, romaine lettuce, and escarole lettuce. The chlorophyll helps absorb nutrients that can age skin while it also helps remove cancerous cells. The minerals are highly absorb-able making it a natural mineral water that your body can really use.

Drinking plenty of fresh, raw veggie and fruit juice is important in any healthy lifestyle. Just remember to go easy on the fruit juice, heavy on the vegetable juice and keep it fresh. Then you can benefit for many years to come.

Beginning Aromatherapy: Why Choose Rosehip Oil For Skin Care

May 14th, 2010

The beautiful reddish-orange liquid of Rosehip seed oil is becoming well-known as useful skin and beauty product around the world, as scientific study has recently validated it’s positive effects on many types of skin conditions. The pure oil has produced miraculous results for some, useful for a great myriad of conditions from premature aging and over-exposure to the sun, to lessening the appearance of many types of scarring. Where does this luscious oil come from, how does it work, and perhaps of greatest interest, can it work for you?

Rosehip seed oil is extracted from the seed within the fruit of the wild thorny rose bush. Native to Chile, the plant is now cultivated elsewhere in South America with many countries producing the oil. Also found under the name ‘Rosa Mosqueta’, the oil has been used by native people for hundreds of years, but only recently became known to the rest of the world.

The oil is produced via solvent extraction or pressing of the seed. The cold-pressed oil is the closest to nature and likely the healthiest variety – it has a high essential fatty acid content, and is considered more delicate than other common seed and nut oils. Because of it’s unique chemical nature, it should be refrigerated, or at least kept in a dark, cool place, and used within one year of purchase.

The “active ingredients” of rosehip are now available in a highly concentrated form, called a “carbon dioxide extract”. Very similar to an essential oil, but made at a cooler temperature, this very deep red, viscous oil is used in small quantities — and not as the base of your formulas as cold-pressed rosehip seed oil would be.

Rosehip seed oil is an excellent source of natural vitamin E and natural vitamin A, or ‘trans-retinoic acid’. Retinoic acid, the acid derivative of vitamin A, is the active ingredient found in Retin-A or Tretinoin. Retin-A (a pharmaceutical preparation) has been heralded as a wrinkle cure because of its ability to increase skin cell proliferation – or speed the time it takes for your skin to regenerate. In fact, the oil has been extensively studied for many of the same actions attributed to Retin-A, and has been shown effective without side effects (like over-drying and peeling – though unlike Retin-A, it should not be used to treat acne).

The first major study on Rosehip seed oil was done at the University of Santiago, Chile. The participants had diverse forms of skin damage: wrinkles and other premature aging, sun and radiation damage, scarring, and other skin damage. The oil was shown to have significant, noticeable effects in regenerating the skin, reducing results of all skin damage types, and contributing to an overall smoothing of the skin’s appearance.

Another later study was conducted on women ages 25-35 with extensive premature aging of their skin. Again, rosehip seed oil significantly reduced the appearance of wrinkles and sun spots after daily application for four months. Research has continued on the oil, with one study noting: “On some skin troubles like superficial wrinkles, chestnut spots and ephelides, good results have been obtained. After 16 weeks of treatment, wrinkles and spots become imperceptible.” The oil has been used to successfully treat a long list of skin related conditions, including: age spots, wrinkles and premature aging, sun damage, scars from acne, burns, and surgery, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, hyper-pigmentation, brittle nails, and even dry and damaged hair.

In addition to its skin healing effects, rosehip seed oil is also a perfect moisturizer due to it’s high content of essential fatty acids (EFAs). The oil penetrates the skin quickly and does not leave the skin feeling greasy or oily.

Rosehip seed oil may be used directly on the skin daily – It may also be blended with other oils like jojoba and sweet almond, and will still give noticeable results at one-tenth of the concentration. In addition, rosehip seed oil makes an excellent carrier oil for aromatherapy, blending it with essential oils having skin regenerative properties will make an exceptional natural skin care product.

To smooth scars on the skin, blend of fifteen drops each of helichrysum “italicum” and rosemary “verbenone” essential oils, plus twenty-four drops rosehip “CO2″, in a one ounce base of equal parts rosehip seed oil and tamanu oil. For a lovely beauty blend, experiment with this combination in four ounces of rosehip seed: five drops helichrysum, five drops lavender angustifolia, 3 drops sandalwood, three drops neroli (bitter orange flower oil), three drops carrot seed oil (a very moisturizing essential oil), three drops geranium (also for hydration), two drops roman chamomile (for it’s anti-inflammatory properties), two drops of jasmine absolute and one drop each of palmarosa and ylang ylang essential oils.

Using rosehip seed oil for healing your skin or just giving it a little needed nourishment will almost certainly produce positive, noticeable effects. This fantastic oil, with its wonderful range of uses, will likely take an important lace in your natural beauty collection.

The author has made available much information about aromatherapy, such as using clove and other high quality essential oils.

More Chakra Balance Secrets Revealed

April 1st, 2010

If you want to learn about the concept of chakra balance you have to understand chakra’s in general first. Chakras are our energy stations or centers. Chakras are your openings in your body for life energy to flow in and out of your aura.

One of their many beneficial tasks is the vitalization of the physical body as well as the healthy development of the self-conscious, they relate to our emotional, mental and physical relationships and activity.

What does a chakra look like, you might wonder. Most often they are likened to the appearance of a lotus flower, since they are have the appearance of a being funnel in their shape, with smaller funnels within the larger funnel.

Everyone has seven chakras and every chakra has a corresponding color association. Here we will learn of each chakra, the benefit of chakra balance and how they work to relieve stress and enhance your life and well being.

Starting at the base of the spine and ending at the top of the head, you will find seven chakras. The names of the chakras are the root chakra, solar plexus and heart chakras, the throat, brow or third eye and the crown chakra.

There are numerous and assorted foods that aid in achieving a chakra balance that are helpful in grounding and re-energizing for each chakra center.

The root chakra finds benefit from eating tofu, carrots, beans, potatoes, meats, parsnips, eggs, radishes, garlic and beets.

Sacral chakra can be feed by melons, mangos, strawberries, almonds, honey, cinnamon and more.

For you solar plexus chakra, this will help with self-esteem, try eating flax seed, cereal, milk, cheeses, ginger, mints, and others.

Heart Chakra: Basil, broccoli, green tea, kale, sage, spinach and thyme. These types of foods and spices aid in healing any emotional pain.

Next is your throat chakra and to help to speak truth try eating lemons, limes, kiwi, salt , lemon grass, apples, pears, and plums.

You can awaken the senses of the third eye by feeding the brow chakra with such foods as poppy seeds, lavender, red grapes, blueberries and black berries.

For the final chakra your crown chakra, this will help to open and clear spiritual communication try the following incense sage, copal, myrrh, frankincense, and juniper.

Keep in mind this list is only a fraction of the types of spices, drinks and food products useful for chakra balance. To achieve a chakra balance, however, you will need to learn to gain better focus on the chakra centers of your body.

You can begin balancing your chakras, by starting with the root chakra and working your way up to each ascending chakra, by placing gemstones on each chakra point. When working with each chakra point, you can bring balance to individual chakras by leaving a gemstone on the point for 3 to 5 minutes each, depending on the level of balance you feel each chakra needs.

You can use any kind of gemstone, but some people suggest certain gemstones for each chakra. But this list isn’t always the same for each person; you can test this out by buying a few kinds of gemstones. Once you place the gemstone on your chakra you will possibly notice a humming or a feeling that feels good if you are using the proper gemstone. If you feel a negative feeling, or just the gemstone doesn’t feel correct, do not use that gemstone for that chakra again.

You can experiment with different gemstones, and when you find the one that feels the best you should make a list of which chakra and what gemstone you are using. An example is black onyx being used for your root chakra, this seems to be a very good choice for most people, but once again it may not be the correct gemstone for your chakra. So don’t feel that you are doing something wrong if a gemstone that someone else suggested doesn’t work for you.

You can balance all of the chakra centers at the same time, by placing your gemstones on each chakra point for approximately three to twenty-five minutes, depending on how much balance you feel your chakras need.

Lots of people have discovered that the easiest and quickest way to achieve a complete chakra balance is by using the latest binaural beat audio technology which reproduces the sound frequency of each chakra and resonates your own chakras to the frequency needed for total balance.

All you need do is to listen via headphones and your chakras automatically become balanced!

Christy Tanner is one of the experts who writes for the the popular chakra-balance.com website. Visit here to discover how knowing the chakra balance secrets can change your life. You can also get free chakra meditation binaural sound frequency mp3′s when you visit here.

March 31st, 2010

Nail fungus is a problem that can be very hard to clear up. Learning about the causes of nail fungus and the way that Zetaclear works when it comes to treating it can help a person understand the problem a whole lot more.

Quite often a person will wear the same shoes every day, and doing this can promote this condition. A lot of times people will think think that their shoes will be dry come the next day, and this is simply not the case. Often they still have a bit of moisture in them and this can bring on the condition of toenail fungus.

There are a lot of things things that can cause this condition. Women can get this by using nail polish on their toenails. This happens when multiple layers of mail polish is applied to the surface of the nails which in turn destroys the nails ability to breathe.

Also with regards to the causes of toenail fungus is the lack of drying of the feet that people do when getting out of showers or baths.

This means that even in the privacy of your home this condition could affect you.

People that suffer from certain circulatory diseases or illnesses that affect their circulation are at a far higher risk of getting toenail fungus. Diabetics for example are highly prone to circulation problems. This means that good hygiene and bathing practices are especially important for people in this situation.

One more issue that can cause nail fungus are illnesses that people have that affect their circulation. HIV and diabetes are two examples. With these things being said it is even more important for people to follow good rules of hygiene and also make sure that they thoroughly dry their feet when getting out of the shower or bath.
