We use many natural home remedies, which would make my entry too long so I will enter the two I use the most.
Coconut Oil
We use coconut oil for several things in our home from cooking to infusing with medicinal oils we encapsulate. However the thing I rave about the most, to anyone who listens is using it for an all body skin moisturizer!
I have very fair skin and from my earliest recollections I have gotten a sunburn every summer, at least once. Six years ago that all changed when I read about the benefits if coconut oil as an after sun moisturizer to sooth redness to sunburns, will prolong your tan, prevent peeling and if used before going out into the sun would prevent burning! I thought 'yeah right I would fry like a chicken in 5 minutes if I put an oil on', which is what happened to me once when a friend sprayed me with baby oil and water once.
I was looking for a natural way to moisturize and didn't want to use anything on my skin that I wouldn't eat so I started using an organic, cold-pressed coconut oil as a daily moisturizer and I am very happy to say that I haven't had a sunburn since and I get a very nice tan every summer now!Lemon & Rosemary Oils in my Shampoo
(blond to light brown for lemon, not for med.brown to black)
2 years ago I lost most of my hair so the first thing I did was consult my "Prescription for Nutritional Healing 5th Edition" book to figure out what to do. I rinsed my head and remaining hair in distilled water & apple-cider vinegar (Bragg) https://www.bragg.com/products/bragg-organic-apple-cider-vinegar.html then rubbed my scalp in coconut oil, waited 2 hours and rinsed again. I did this 3 times in one week to kill any fungus that may have been the cause plus this conditions and nourishes the follicles. I went to the doctor to rule out a known medical condition and started to take vitamin E and biotin right away. The book also recommended many herbs and oils to stimulate hair follicles and promote growth. The ones I came across the most were lemon and rosemary so I added several drops of each to my shampoo, I squeezed 5 capsules of vitamin E into the bottle and used this for a year and a half. I also found an excellent natural product called Bio-Regrow https://absorbscience.com/bio-regrow/ and used it up until recently.
Today my hair is almost back to the long length I prefer, healthy and shinny! I still use lemon & rosemary oil in my shampoo and I intend to do so forever. I also read that putting lemon oil in your shampoo slows the greying process, Bonus!
