Re: Dry Brushing Technique/skin health care

I used to visit my SIL & BIL in Aurora half a dozen times a

year. About Limon, CO, I would start feeling the effects of the air

in my nose. By the time we got to Denver and stayed a day or two, I

was having nosebleeds (if you think the air dry there, go further

West and Up, LOL). I learned to carry a jar of Vaseline in my purse

and would put that up my nose constantly, and I also used Nutrogena

body oil every time I took a shower. After shutting the shower off I

would pour the oil in my hand and rub all over, not rinse but just

pat dry with a towel. I'm sure there are more friendly/natural oils

out there you can find, but doing that helped the dry skin a

bunch. I also had to use hand lotion every time I washed my hands

and a couple of times in between because my cuticles would dry out so bad.

Maybe coming from California there wasn't any difference, but coming

from Missouri and going to Denver, town, Idaho Springs or

Silverthorn, I always thought the sunlight brighter in Colorado. I

always put it down to something Denver sang in one of his songs

- that state really is closer to the sun, LOL.

I wonder if avocados would help? What about taking flax oil? (Just

guessing here)

Taking a yarrow tincture will help the nosebleeds. couple times a day

for a couple days. Two days should do it, but everyone's mileage

varies..........

We get the nosebleeds here too. I am constantly blowing HUGE chunks

of matter, mostly bloody, out of my nose regularly. I smear the

insides of my nose with Neosporin before I shower every day, and the

moisture of the shower combines with the gunk I smear, and loosens up

a lot of chunks of stuff. I've also got a salve I make for sunscreen

out of just olive oil and beeswax that I've started using as a

general skin lotion after I shower, and it seems to help a little.

I like the avacado idea. Though I am not too fond of them, any little

bit helps. I am looking for food ideas to tackle the issue

internally, as well as external ideas as well.

Thanks for your ideas!!

Forgot to add, I have a big bag of flax seeds that my wonderfully

thoughtful daughter bought for me the last time they went to the asian

market. I was going to grind them up and capsule some. Now, if memory

serves (not always a given), they should be used immediately upon

grinding??

I don't know how I forgot mentioning a Neti Pot. I've mixed warm

water with sea salt and then used a Neti Pot to clean my sinuses

out. If you don't have a Neti Pot one of those blue bulbs like they

use for babies will work too. I fill up the bulb and squirt the

water mix straight up into my head while holding the other nostril

closed, then let it drain back out and blow. It will really loosen

stuff up. With the Neti Pot you have to hold your head sideways and

pour into one nostril, then let it drain and do the other.

I've also tried using Colloidal Silver in water in the Neti Pot, but

that stuff always burnt my nose for some reason, LOL.

Does your house have a humidifier on the furnace? If not see if you

can add one or get your landlord to add one - they are not expensive

and work really well and may alleviate some of your misery In the

meantime, stick cans of water on your furnace vents and either boil

water on the stove of an evening or get a humidifier and run that in

your bedroom at night. Try Freecycle for a humidifier.

I feel for you - been there and have experienced all you're going

through! You might adapt, eventually - my SIL used to tell me I just

didn't stay out there long enough to get used to it, LOL.

What do you know about Reiki? (Pronounced Ray-Key) I am a Second

degree Reiki on my way to Master, but we all have the ability. Sit

in a darkened room (sitting on your bed before going to sleep would

be ideal) and empty your mind of everything except the image of a

beam of white light coming down and into the top of your head. Your

can also visualize the white light coming down and into your

hands. Concentrate on the white light going to your sinus region and

hold your hands either against the nose/sinus/eye area of your face

or slightly above the skin of the same area. Concentrate on your

white light image and relaxing. If you're relaxed enough and

receptive to what you are doing, it shouldn't take long before you

feel your hands becoming very warm. Keep your hands there and keep

visualizing until you've feel you've done enough and should move

on. If you've got the energy coming in like it should it shouldn't

take much more than about 15 minutes to give yourself a sinus

treatment like this. Your body and mind will tell you when it is

done and your hands should start to cool - you'll know when to stop,

really. Try this for awhile and see if it doesn't help.

If your hands don't get warm let me know and I'll find the Reiki

signs for you and you can try visualizing the signs while you sit and

think. The signs are very powerful and I think ramp up the energy flow.

That is what I have always understood, that flax seeds aren't any

good to you until they are ground, but they go rancid in a hurry and

need to be used quickly. If you do grind them, keep them

refrigerated afterwards to prolong their lifespan.

For winter dry skin you need to make sure

you are getting your omega oils internally and moisturize externally after

every bath/shower. Cod liver oil is a good one for the winter months

because it provides some A & D vitamins as well as omega 3 oil. You

can make your own creams and lotions now a days really easily. Shea

butter, cocoa butter, mango butter, aloe gel, avocado oil – the list is

enormous. Right now I am using a shea/cocoa butter combo lotion on the

kids because they get eczema very easily in the winter months. Talk about an

itch fest! Another thing is that you are new to the climate and it will

take time for your body to acclimate, but it will eventually. I think it

is partly genetic too. People whose ancestors lived in the northern dry

climates could probably adapt to Colorado

pretty quickly, while someone from Brazil would have a harder time.

Dry Brushing Technique/skin health care

Some good info here. Here in Denver, it is VERY dry. All the moisture

in the air is being sucked out into the snow. And having the heater on

all the time isn't doing our skin any good either.

I was wondering, what foods would one recommend for dry skin? We

already drink massive amounts of water, and eat pineapple every morning.

, instead of Neosporin, how about home made Vick's Vapor Rub?

5 parts olive oil

eucalyptus essential oil

camphor essential oil

menthol crystals

1 part beeswax

We do have a humidifier. We keep it running pretty much all the time.

We are seriousely thinking of getting another one. And I sometimes just

boil water to get moisture into the air.

I have to be careful of omega oils as some are fish based, and I am

alergic to fish.

Use Udo's Oil or hemp seed oil. As far as I know there is no fish oil in

Udo's oil and you certainly won't have to worry about getting high using

hemp seed oil. Both will supply you with all the omegas you need.
