 Looking for an easy DIY recipe for toothpaste? Look no further! This one is super easy, and you most likely have everything you need at home already... well most of it I'm sure! :) What you will need: *Glass or stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk, and small spatula. *Glass jar to store toothpaste in. {small 40z, preferably a darker glass} * 1/4 cup Organic cold pressed unrefined coconut oil *1/4 cup baking soda *2 tbls bentonite clay {or organic charcoal, if you are looking for extra whitening} * 10 drops of Essential Oil {pure therapeutic EO's, such as Amrita} You can blend 2 or 3 together, that are cleansing for the mouth, or just stick with you favorite! Some EO's that are good to consider would be, peppermint, cinnamon, orange, tea tree, frankincense, clove. Place the baking soda, and clay in mixing bowl, whisk to incorporate. Add your essential oils to the mixture, and whisk together, until the oils have completely blended. Then you will add your coconut oil. {Since this will be more of a solid, you can do half the amount, mix, then add the remaining} Be sure to blend well with the spatula, and get all the baking soda/clay mixture into the coconut oil. If you wish, you can use a small hand mixer to do this process as well.
Once blended, you can store in the small dark coated glass jar. Just scoop some out on your toothbrush when you are ready to clean your teeth! :)

Reflexology is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correlate to all of the glands, organs, and parts of the body. It is a unique method of using the thumb and fingers on these reflex areas. What are some benefits people have experienced from getting Reflexology?
What Can You Expect to Experience in a Session? While that question may seem like a very simplistic one to answer, it is not. Every person is very unique and has very diverse needs/wants. We all are on a different journey, one that is just our own. So what I may experience in a session, may be nothing like what you experience. However I will say that you can expect to be in a very relaxed state in your body. This happens naturally as you quiet the mind, and allow yourself to just be in the moment. I may help you along by providing some warm eye pillows filled with organic flaxseed and sprayed with some yummy essential oils! The relaxing music that is softly played, and aromatherapy that is going in the room may help a little as well! In my sessions, I try to set an intention with the client prior to you sitting in the chair and getting comfy, I like to express the importance of relaxing and allowing the body to naturally guide us to what it may need at that moment. I am not opposed to anyone telling me any ailments they may want to focus on, {allergies, sore lower back, shoulder, TMJ...etc} and I will be more than happy to do that for you, however, along the way I like to listen to what your feet tell me! I find it so amazing how our feet are like road maps to our entire body! Our toes are just as intricate, especially our great toes! They are like little bodies all in themselves! So many reflex points, so may chances to release built up energy from what your body may be holding on to... could be an old/new injury, an emotional or traumatic event in your life, illness, fear, unexpected change. The list goes on, but you get the point I hope! I am not here to diagnose any illness, or health issue... just to simply help your body naturally help itself. Our glands and organs can be off balance by being overworked, or the complete opposite, it can be underactive. There are reflexes that can be manipulated by using techniques with reflexology that can help normalize the functions of those glands and organs. Our bodies naturally seek balance, and usually respond pretty openly to diverse methods of obtaining that balance!  |
