HELICHRYSUM- IMMORTAL- BEAUTIFUL SKIN AND ANTI- HEMATOMA

One of my favorite essential oils, Italian Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) also called the immortal, l’immortel.

ANTI-HEMATOMA: My kids recently bumped their heads together really hard while playing and I used pure essential oil of Helichrysum to reduce the hematomas and the bruises on their little faces, with spectacular results, it is the most powerful anti-hematoma I have ever known. Even more powerful than Arnica, although complementary so you can mix a few drops of Helichrysum in your Arnica cream.

BEATIFUL SKIN : It help fluidify the blood, activating the microcirculation, thus preventing rosacea and those small red broken capillaries (spider veins) on our face or legs caused by too much sun, harsh weather or too much red wine (I know, really maddening). So here is how you can prevent: mix essential oil of Helichrysum with vegetable oil such as Muscat rose, Almond, Marula or Argan oil (5% which would be approx. 1.5 ml or 30 drops for 30ml of oil) and/or use the floral water of Helichrysum (by product when distilling essential oils) to wipe your face with, no need to dilute.

The smell is divine, noble, and subtle. It is a bit costly, but all worth it, and you only need very small quantities.

Marvellous Moringa

In need of energy, nutriments, and antioxidants?

Moringa Oleifera, sometimes called the “miracle tree” is one of my absolute favorite plants when it comes to health benefits. Its leave are exceptional sources of vitamins A, C and E, minerals, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and many of the essential amino acids that the human body does not produce itself. It is also full of antioxidants, (phenols and flavonoids) that help protect body cells from the damaging effects of “free radicals” produced by the body as we metabolize food, break down medicines and other toxins (oxidative stress).

Premature aging and many serious diseases of civilization or lifestyle diseases start from the overproduction of free radicals damaging cells within our body. Moringa can help provide added protection for the body and has an anti-aging effect and I could go on. It is safe, natural, and generally affordable.

The dried leaf powder can be used as a food supplement or simply sprinkled on food. I personally prefer taking it mixed with a bit of warm water in the morning or mix it in a smoothy. I do not find it delicious, but hey, can’t have it all. Start with a teaspoon and build up to 4-8 grams– one tablespoon/day. I get mine directly from a producer in Niger, but you can easily find Moringa in health stores or you can post order.

Spring cure with birch water fresh from the tree!

Cleansing the body and strengthening the immune system with fresh birch sap/birth water- an excellent spring cure for detox and feeling good.

I am having a glass every morning first thing for two weeks and from time to time intermittent fasting (over 24 hrs, fasting for 16 hours, eating within an 8 hour window) for the digestive system to rest. You can of course do a longer fasting with birch water as well.

Birch water is rich in minerals and antioxidants and helps your liver and kidneys eliminate toxins and waste.

RAW chocolate folks, from raw cocoa beans and cocoa butter with a hint of raw sugar, it is super tasty and good for you.

Adding a recipe that I use as a basis (en français). Be creative!

Back to basics - Staying zen and healthy in times of flue and corona virus

Seriously- I am wondering why so little is being said about the importance of strengthening and maintaining our immune system in times of flue and corona virus. Most certainly general precautions such as wearing masks, handwashing and confinement help limit exposure and the spread. However, if exposed to virus, we want to make sure our immunity system is as performant as possible to quickly get on top of it and prevent infection. This is really something we can influence by making sure we get enough sleep, enjoy nature and avoid stress, eat natural and nutritious food, cut down on sugar and ensure intake of Vit. D, Vit C and zinc, all vital for a strong immune system and overall health.

For free or almost.
