Why Look For Sulfate Free Shampoo?

We are very excited to see a new line of natural salon products that really natural! They use aloe as a base instead of the detergent, sodium laural sulfate or something similar. In fact, they are actually food-grade products. You would not want to drink your shampoo, and we are not advising you to drink these. But isn’t it nice to know that you are putting something healthy on your hair and skin, instead of something to toxic to eat? After all, what you put on your scalp will get absorbed by your body.

Find Natural and Synthetic Chemical Free Hair and Skin Products

Take a look at Houston Salon Naturals for a great line of natural shampoo, conditioners, and skin cream.

Sulfates in Shampoo and Skin Creams
Sulfates, which are very common in shampoo and skin care products, have been linked to alergies, inflamation, and hair loss. In fact, they even aggravate the problem in peope who are already inclined to lose hair anyway. With all of the millions of dollars spent on products to grow hair or grow thicker hair, why use a shampoo that will aggravate the problem of hair loss or thinning?

Silicone Shampoo and Conditioners

Silicone is actually liquid glass. It forms a seal around your hair and scalp. That may help your hair look better today, but what you are doing in the long run? You are preventing your scalp from absorbing anything else. So why waste money on gair growth products ad expensive conditioners when you are just blocking them from working.
Tomorrow’s Green Shampoo and Hair Care

Whatever you put on your skin and hair will go down the drain very soon. Chemicals are being added to our water supply.

Benefit of Acai Berry

Have you been hearing all the buzz about Acai (ah-sigh-ee). Acai is number one Dr. Perrisone’s (on Oprah) list of top ten superfoods. According to Oprah.com Acai berry comes from a special Amazon palm tree. The acai berry is harvested in the rainforests of Brazil and is said to taste like a blend of berries and chocolate. Acai possesses a tremendous combination of things that are good for your health – antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

The concentration of anitoxidants (which helps combat premature aging) is 10 times higher in acai than it is in red grapes. Additionally acai has 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins of red wine. Anthocyanins are defined as flavonoid pigments found in many varieties of vegetables and fruits. Theyre a good source of antioxidants.

Acai berry anthocyanins help protect the body against cancer cells. If cancer cells are found, the anthocyanins help to prevent them from spreading. If tumors appear, the anthocyanins try to destroy them. Anthocyanins can also help prevent memory loss. Medical research has shown that the anthocyanins within the acai berry have been successful in reducing the likelihood of premature memory loss. Acai berrys anthocyanins can also assist in preventing heart disease. I am sure you have heard consuming a glass of red wine a few times a week can help reduce your risk of heart disease. Acai berries can contain up to 30 times the level of anthocyanins found in red wine, therefore you get the benefit without having to consume alcohol.

Dr. Perrisone says “The fatty acid content in Acai resembles that of olive oil, and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. Oleic acid is important for a number of reasons. It helps omega-3 fish oils penetrate the cell membrane; together they help make cell membranes more supple. By keeping the cell membrane supple, all hormones, neurotransmitter and insulin receptors function more efficiently. This is particularly important because high insulin levels create an inflammatory state, and we know, inflammation causes aging.”

Acai berry has also been know to help with weight loss. Being overweight isn’t just unhealthy, it can be very dangerous. When you’re overweight you put tremendous stress on your body and become at risk for back, joint issues and many other health problems.

In addition to medical issues, being overweight often depletes energy and robs you of the ability to get things done during the day. These are just a few of the reasons to take advantage of this risk free trial of our weight loss formula and let the power of Acai help you get the fit body you deserve.

Acai Berry Active can help you:

Lose weight as part of your diet and exercise program

Increase your metabolism

Help increase fat oxidation

Help increase energy

Save trees – Acai berry is harvested from palm trees. These particular palm trees used to be destroyed in the process of harvesting hearts of palm but now they are being used for acai berry production – so the trees get to be useful and stay alive.

Preventing Colon Problems

A colorectal cancer screening is recommended at age 50 and beyond unless you have a risk factor. So many people put them off because they are afraid of the discomfort. Doctors say though with sedation the procedure is painless. The benefits to having the screening is that with early detection, colon cancer is curable in up to around 90 percent of the cancers.

Colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon and/or rectum) is the third most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer deaths among Americans. The American Cancer Society reports that colon cancer rates among African Americans are about 15% higher and deaths about 40% higher than among whites. Yet there is no explanation for this statistic. There is some common ground between the lifestyles of  black Americans and colon cancers risk factors being overweight, low level of physical activity, having a diet high in fat and red meat and low in fruits and vegetable. Risk also increases if you smoke, have a family history of colorectal cancer, have  digestive disorders such as IBS,ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease.

Here are some commonly prescribed prevention strategies:

Eat less fat and less red meat especially processed meat. Eat more fruits and vegetable.

Lavender Oil – The Most Useful Natural Essential Oil

I am never without a vial of lavender oil. It is one of the most useful essential oils. According to Pamela Allardice who wrote Natural Remedies A-Z,  lavender is naturally soothing, antiseptic and has anti-inflammatory properties. Lavender Oil can be used to make an effective mouthwash, skin tonic, and eye lotion, and helps to treat mild infections or irritations, such as cuts, insect bites and fungal infections.

You can add a few drops to the bath to soothe skin troubled by a rash. Allerdice also recommends combing lavender oil with other scented oils from its own plant family such as marjoram and rosemary and an unscented carrier oil such apricot kernel oil to scent the skin and stimulate circulation. Lavender oil also blends well with geranium or rose essential oil.

Lavender oil helps regenerate skin cells and is excellent for burns especially sunburn and chapping.  Lavender oil clears up pimples faster than any other product I have tried. Lavender is also known as the headache herb. You can buy lavender tea and drink it when you have a headache or you can dab the oil on your forehead or temples.

I also found a recipe for detangler using lavender. I don’t know where I originally found it but I have used it for years.

You can purchase essential oils from many online sources or at your local health food store. In our city Whole Foods has a good selection of essential oils. 

Here are the ingredients for the detangler: (clary sage and geranium oil can be a bit pricey but the small bottle will make gallons of detangler and these oils have other uses)

Herbal Detangler

16 oz. water

20 drops lavender oil

10 drops clary sage oil

10 drops geranium oil

Add oils to the water and mix. I put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray it on my hair either when it is wet to detangle or if it is dry to help calm the frizz.
