    Make Your Own Potpourri

    I haven't tried to make one, but I always thought it'd be nice if I could. I honestly thought they'd be impossible to make. Seems like I'm gonna have to let my creative side come out and actually create one for a change.

    Living an organic lifestyle

    Thank you for this link. If you think about it, we still in a sense aren't 100% organic and may never be - even if you grow your own food. I say this because of the stuff that's on the soil. You know when the airplanes fly over your house and disperse that stuff in the air which will land on the...

    Sinus Infection

    Garlic in apple sauce sounds...delicious actually. I can eat garlic raw, but I may try this only because I love them both lol. I know garlic will get to work right away and knock out the symptoms, but if this mixture works for me, I'm definitely going to continue doing it.

    Eyelash growth...

    A natural way to grow eyelashes would be to get a q-tip and apply castor oil on them. You won't see results instantly but give it about three months, perhaps even two, and you should definitely notice a difference.

    Dandruff and itchy scalp

    I only use Swanson's Certified Organic USDA Avocado Oil. Make sure to keep it refrigerated so it won't go racid. Also use the coupon code swan199 so you can get $1.99 shipping and not have to pay $4.99. If you don't already have an account, get one and I believe you also will receive a $5 coupon...

    Ayurvedic Herbs?

    All of them are considered Ayurvedic. Take a look at this site for a few of the thousands of herbs that are considered ayurvedic: I have less than the required amount of posts to post the link so look up "The Ayurvedic Center - Historical Uses of Ayurvedic Herbs". You can read more about the...

    Hi From VA

    Hi There. I'm virtually known as CityGirlLuv and I reside in Virginia. I first got into alternative health when my mom had this gigantic book about remedies pertaining to different ailments. That was back when I was about thirteen (and I'm currently twenty-one). Well I do hope to make some...

    New study indicates berries could keep you sharper longer

    It's awesome that it applies to strawberries as that's the only berry I like. I wish I could get into the taste of blueberries because I find them beautiful. Raspberries are too bitter for me to like.

    How to treat Thrush naturally

    Just wanted to add to the post that anyone who does this to make sure that it's PLAIN yogurt as it has active lactobacillus acidophilus within it. Although it tastes so good, Trix yogurt won't do the trick lol.

    Relaxing Scents to Aid Sleep

    I have the same mindset because I've tried the aromatherapy branded items and they never worked for me - though they smelled so good. Organic lavender really is the trick, at least for me.

    Uses of Roses

    I know some people take roses and boil them for rose water. Rose water is so refreshing on your face and makes for a great toner. However, I've never tried eating roses, but the thought has me very curious on what they may taste like.

    Ayurvedic Herbs?

    I've been using Ayurvedic herbs for quite some time actually within my hair. Within the course of a year of me using it, I've noticed my hair has not only increased in thickness but also in length. I am going to start using it on my overall body, but I was just wondering if anyone uses any...

    Herbal bug repellents

    Garlic and Rosemary are some known bug repellents that I use all the time. Also lemon juice helps to keep ants away. I think Jasmine is another bug repellent but not too sure. I know I made a mixture of jasmine, rosemary, and tea tree oil to keep stink bugs away when we had them badly. I've only...

    The Aloe Vera Plant

    I love the aloe vera plant. They are also considered a plant that will improve the quality of the air around your home. I can't remember where exactly I read it at, but I want to say it was some top five "green" plant article that was featured on MSN or some news site like that. I work at Lowes...

    Garlic is a natural tick deterrent

    I've heard this before and I'm pretty sure it's true as garlic well can have a smell to it lol. Weirdly, I like the smell of garlic, just not that of onions. I've read some people even give it to their dogs and it keeps them tick-free, but I'm scared for my dog to ingest it so I may rub some on...

    Sinus Infection

    I hate sinus infections. I say if you can, go to your local CVS pharmacy and see if you can buy odorless garlic pills. I remember last year I took about two a day and didn't have any problems whatsoever. I think I stopped because I got lazy, but I know I need to get back on taking them asap...

    Dandruff and itchy scalp

    I know for me, Avocado worked wonderfully. I tend to use any products that have avocados in it for that sole benefit. Also, if you're into Ayurvedic treatments, try to use Neem oil. That stuff stinks so much and smells like French Onion soup, but it works wonders. I advise using it if you have a...

    Natural Breast Enhancement

    I guess naturally, the only way I know of any item to enhance my breasts would be MSM. It didn't enhance them that much and I don't even take MSM for that benefit; however, it's just a known "side-effect" involved in taking it. I don't advise to take it for that purpose though because what works...
