Natural Hair Rinses

 

My Hair Before

Did you know that you can use plants from your garden to enhance your hair's potential and treat disorders? I had zero idea myself until I got back into herbal gardening.  I started over a year ago and I am now making products for myself and my clients to use. This article is about infusions for hair rinses. 

Rose Water Hair Rinse: Loaded with vitamin A, B3, C & E. It helps nourish the scalp, stimulates hair follicles and promotes hair growth. Rose water can tame down frizz and add shine and luster to your hair. It works well for any hair type, but the best for oily hair because of its gentle astringent properties. Rose has inflammatory properties that may help skin conditions like dandruff, psoriasis and eczema. It can be applied in the scalp as a form of shampoo, conditioner or an after-shampoo rinse/mist. Rose water is safe and can be used every day. 

Rosemary Hair Rinse: Great for boosting hair growth and aiding with preventing hair loss. Decreases inflammation in the hair scalp by acting like an antioxidant by helping to improve circulation in the hair follicles. It also helps darken grey hair. Prevents frizziness, boosts volume and enhances shine. It also naturally darkens grey hair andk is often used as a natural hair dye.

Lemongrass Hair Rinse: is high in vitamin A & C. It helps the keep your hair shinny and glossy without having oily hair or scalp. It has antimicrobial & inflammation properties helps treat dandruff and other scalp conditions. Lemongrass is rich in iron and aids treating hair loss, aneama and other iron deficiencies.

 Over the years of living a healthy lifestyle, growing a herbal garden, and learning about the holistic powers of herbs I have dabbled over the years with learning how to make my own beauty products beyond tinctures and infusions.

Natural Insect Repellant

The best thing about growing herbs and spices in your garden are the awesome household things you can make besides cooking with them. I am trying out this natural insect repellant that I made from lavender, lemongrass, chrysthanseum, geranium, cedarwood and citronella. 

I have used it on my plants in my garden and camping out on the beach. So far, this natural concoction has worked really well without the chemicals, or the nauseating smell most incest repellants sprays have.

Nowadays, we must be careful with what we put in and on our bodies. Many of these companies that claim to be organic and natural are often busted for greenwashing. Lots of organic small businesses that have been bought out by corporations are having their organic products altered to have more chemicals that are cheaper to produce. In the end, corporations really don't care what they are putting in our food, creams, sprays and deodorants. These chemicals can lead to cancer, skin disorders and other health issues and we must look after ourselves. Mother Earth has provided all the things we need to make chemical free beauty and other body products. If you would like to purchase a bottle of natural and organically made insect repellant ($8) from me, send me a message! 

Treat Your Conditions Naturally with Tinctures!

 

Tinctures are highly concentrated liquid extract of herbs. It can be applied externally or taken internally. Many types of herbs can help naturally heal the conditions and treat illness you have. Tinctures are made out of vodka, rum, gin or glycerin. They can also last from 2 - 5 years before they need to be replaced. When taken orally dosage would be 5 - 15 drops for children & 10 - 25 drops for adults. *Make sure to check for side effects with medications and other foods before taking any tinctures.
