    How to thicken hair naturally

    Concentrate On A Healthy Scalp And Thick Regrowth: Many people completely miss scalp issues as the cause of shedding but it is very common.   Often, clogged or irritated hair follicles will not be properly nourished and deeply embedded enough.  Eventually, the cycle will choke out and then extract the starving hair.  Likewise, if you have these scalp issues, your regrowth is going to be compromised, making your hair look even more thin.

    Be very careful of shampoos which contain irritating ingredients like SLS (sodium laurel sulfate). This ingredient is added only so the shampoo will make a lot of bubbles so that we’ll be fooled into thinking that it works better.  This harsh ingredient is also used in household cleaners and has no place on your scalp.  There are so many good, natural, and gentle shampoos that work great.

    Natural ingredients like tea tree oil and jojoba oil are natural anti inflammatories and they work great.  Apple cider vinegar is a wonderful rinse to free your scalp and hair of build up.  The laser comb (in combination with some essential oils) is a very natural, non irritating way to bring on regrowth and help with shedding caused by unhealthy follicles.

    How do I know all of this? Because I lived it. In my quest to end my hair loss, I looked at my triggers, my iron, my thyroid, my adrenals, my hormones, and my scalp’s health in my quest to end the nightmare. It was a long, hard, frustrating journey which all but wrecked my self esteem but I finally found something that helped quite a bit. You can read my very personal story at http://stop-hair-loss-in-women.com/

    The only 100% truly natural way to color and condition your hair at the same time. Morrocco Method Henna is made from the powdered leaves of the desert shrub, Lawsonia. Henna contains hannatannic acid which, when mixed with hot water, coats the hair, sealing in the natural oils and tightening the cuticle, giving your hair a rich, healthy shine.

    These next ones are for hair loss, but ultimately thicken any kind of hair. The bottom #4,#5, #13#20 and #21 look gread.

    Raw Natural Colors for Your Hair

    For dark hair, this enhances natural color and will highlight any reds:

    2 T rosemary leaves

    1 T thyme leaves

    Cover herbs with very hot water (not boiling) in a glass bowl or ceramic pot and let set for at least 2 hours. Strain. The longer the infusion, the more effect it will have. The fresher the herbs, the more enzyme action. Apply after shampooing and leave on as long as possible. I leave it on, but some use a final rinse and comb it through.  You can comb it through, without a final rinse, and leave it on overnight. Leaves a lovely fragrance on your hair and pillow, but cover the pillow so it doesn’t stain.

    For light air, use 4 T camomile instead of rosemary. Enhances the blond in light hair. Add diluted liquid honey to the final rinse to condition even more.

    For auburn hair, use 1 small red onion with 2 T malt vinegar and infuse for 20 hours in WARM,  not hot, water.

    These natural hair colors enhance the color. They do not strip the hair. They use the natural color and shine you have, and don’t replace or remove colors. Use natural henna to enhance shine and cover small amounts of grey hair. Yucca brings a rich shine to dull hair:

    2-3 T yucca root

    2-3 T birch leaves

    2-3 T alder

    2 T vodka

    Infuse in very hot water for 30 minutes. Strain, add vodka after it’s completely cooled. Comb through the hair and rinse immediately, or leave in overnight. Don’t worry about the dark color, it doesn’t stain your hair. Do this for very shiny hair.

    Even more simple:

    chamomile for blondes

    black tea for brunettes

    Red Zinger tea (Celestial Seasonings) for redheads.

    Steep 4 tea bags in 1 gallon hot water 5 minutes. Let cool. Pour over hair after shampooing. Shampoo after 10 minutes, or leave on overnight. Use the solar tea you’ve put in the window all day!

    Brighten up blonde or light brown hair by mixing lemon juice with conditioner, applying to damp hair, and letting it dry in the sun. (My mother’s life-long recipe!)

    To escape hair damage – rub sesame oil, a natural UV filter, onto the ends of hair before staying outside for any length of time.

    Juniper Berries and How to Make the Tea

    Juniper Berry

    Below:
    •     Introduction
     • What Is Juniper Berry Used for Today?
     • Dosage
     • Safety Issues
     • References

    - Introduction

    In Dutch, juniper is called “geniver,” from which came the name “gin.” But juniper is not only good for making martinis. Its berries (actually not berries at all, but a portion of the cone) were used by the Zuni Indians to assist in childbirth, by British herbalists to treat congestive heart failure and stimulate menstruation, and by American nineteenth-century herbalists to treat congestive heart failure, gonorrhea, and urinary tract infections.

    The explanation for some of these uses may be found in junipers diuretic properties. Its volatile oils have been shown to increase the rate of kidney filtration,1 thereby perhaps helping to remove the accumulated fluid in congestive heart failure, and “wash out” the offending bacteria in urinary tract infections. However, there is no direct scientific evidence that juniper is effective for these purposes.

    - What Is Juniper Berry Used for Today?

    Contemporary herbalists primarily use juniper as a component of herbal formulas designed to treat bladder infections. A typical combination might include uva ursi, parsley, cleavers, and buchu. Such formulas are said to be most effective when taken at the first sign of symptoms and may not work well once the infection has really taken hold. Unfortunately, double-blind studies of juniper have not been performed.

    Recently, gin-soaked raisins have been touted as an arthritis treatment. This is probably just a fad, but some weak evidence suggests that juniper may possess anti-inflammatory properties.2 In the test tube, juniper has also been shown to inhibit herpes virus.3

    - Dosage

    You can make juniper tea by adding 1 cup of boiling water to 1 tablespoon of juniper berries, covering, and allowing the berries to steep for 20 minutes. The usual dosage is 1 cup twice a day. However, juniper is said to work better as a treatment for bladder infections when combined with other herbs. Combination products should be taken according to label instructions.

    Warning: Bladder infections can go on to become kidney infections. For this reason, seek medical supervision if your symptoms don’t resolve in a few days, or if you develop intense low back pain, fever, chills, or other signs of serious infection.

    - Safety Issues

    Although juniper is regarded as safe and is widely used in foods, we don’t recommend taking it during pregnancy. (We also recommend not drinking gin.) Remember, juniper was used historically to stimulate menstruation and childbirth. It has also been shown to cause miscarriages in rats.4

    Juniper seldom causes any noticeable side effects. Prolonged use of juniper could possibly deplete the body of potassium, the way other diuretics do, but this hasn’t been proven. Combining juniper with conventional diuretics, however, may cause excessive fluid loss.

    Some texts warn that juniper oil may be a kidney irritant, but there is no real evidence that this is the case.5 Nonetheless, people with serious kidney disease probably shouldn’t take juniper. Safety for young children, nursing women, or those with severe liver disease has also not been established.

    Beautiful Video of Wendi’s Weight Transformation After Becoming Raw

    Jim and Wendi Dee made huge transformations in their
    lives when they transitioned to a raw food diet
    several years ago. And there’s no better proof than
    this short 3 minute video that Wendi put together
    about her transformation (it’s so powerful):

    http://www.rawfor30days.com/WendiVideo.html

    (After you click the link scroll to the bottom of the
    page to see the video)

    In this interview with Wendi and Jim I got a chance
    to learn more about the cool event that they ran on
    Revering Diabetes Action Day (which also happened to
    be Wendi’s birthday!)

    We also talked about their transition into a raw food
    diet and the physical, emotional and spiritual changes
    that have come with the change for them.

    The amazing thing is that Wendi was a cooked vegan for
    years but it wasn’t until she switched to a raw diet
    that she was finally able to lose weight.

    In the interview Wendi talks about her frustration
    with thinking she was healthy on a cooked vegan diet
    and how she felt that nothing was working for her.

    You’ll also get to hear from Jim and how he lost weight
    and came off of medications that doctors told him he’d
    have to take for the rest of his life!

    It’s a powerful and inspirational interview that you
    don’t want to miss.  You can listen to it right on the
    website or download it so that you can listen to it at
    your convenience (and of course at no cost).  Just click
    on this link:
