Transform Toenail Fungus for Pretty Beach Feet! / May 26, 2010
Transform Toenail Fungus for Pretty Beach Feet!
YUCK
It's an acronym for the common symptoms of nail infections and also how we feel when we see our nails turning on us in front of our eyes!
Y Yellow discoloration of the nail bed
U Under the nail bed, a buildup of skin
C Cracking of the nail
K Keratinization, or thickening of the nail
What can we do at home to get rid of these symptoms or prevent them from happening?
Let's First Address the Entire Body as a System
If a fungus is on a toe, it's highly likely that it's present somewhere else in
the body. If you've ever had yeast infections, athletes feet, or jock itch for
example, you will be apt to get fungal infections on the nails. Make sure the
foods that you are eating are more alkaline to balance the body so the unwanted
fungus can't take up residence. More alkaline foods are fruits and vegetables.
Stay away from acid producing foods, such as sugar, refined carbohydrates, coffee
and alcohol.
There are certain "anti-fungal" foods you can eat such as:
- Avocado
- Broccoli
- Brussels Sprouts
- Cabbage
- Cinnamon
- Cloves
- Collards
- Lemon
- Garlic
- Kale
- Onions
- Coconut
and "anti-fungal" supplements:
- Grapefruit seed extract
- Oregano
essential oil - Ginger
- Pau d'arco herb and tea
For local application...sure, there are over the counter topical creams. Often they are full of chemicals you may want to shy away from. More natural topical applications would be oils: therapeutic essential oils, vitamin E oil, castor oil, and Vicks VapoRub.
Some ways to use these:
Castor Oil: "Horny" Toe Nail is a common problem especially in the elderly. It's a toenail that is large, angled, and difficult to trim. Soak feet in Epsom salts for 15 minutes every night, and then wrap toe in a castor oil soaked gauze. Put a sock on.
Therapeutic Essential Oils Use one of these directly on the affected toe:
- Oregano - Melaleuca (Tea Tree)
- Mix tea tree with lavender
- Mix tea tree with mountain savory. You can
use about 5 drops of these oils. Use directly on the site, or dilute with Vitamin E oil. Use the Young Living Blends of Melrose, Thieves, and Purification.
The magic of Vicks in the eucalyptus! (But I say why use Vicks when we have our Young Living Oils!)
Vicks VapoRub as a remedy? When Vicks hit the market decades ago, people were using it for everything, including fungal nail infections.
Vicks has essential oils in it. Essential oils are naturally anti-microbial and can get rid of any unwanted microbes in their environment, including fungus.
Now Make Them Pretty
Paint them anyway. But be sure to take off your nail polish regularly and reapply. It gives you the opportunity to follow its healing course. You have to pay more attention to your toenails when you are working on getting rid of a fungus. Cleaning, soaks, oil applications, and regularly taking off your polish and reapplying it will take time, stay with it, its worth it.

Is Cellulite Unhealthy? May 19, 2010

Is Cellulite Unhealthy? 
Cellulite is neither a disease nor a sign of unhealthiness.
Cellulite is defined as a fatty deposit causing a dimpled or uneven appearance, as around the thighs and buttocks. The fat, which is very close to the surface of the skin, pushes against connective
tissues in the skin to cause a dimpled appearance, called peau d'orange in French (orange skin).
Anyone can develop cellulite - even babies, though, on babies it is considered cute. Cellulite is just fatty tissue, the same as ordinary fat. Fat cells in the body generally are a depository of toxins. Minimizing the intake of toxins, and employing frequent detoxification measures can benefit health and improve the appearance of cellulite.
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the appearance of cellulite can be controlled by the following factors:
- Diet filled with fruits, vegetables, and fiber
- Plenty of fluids, especially water
- Balanced weight with no fluctuation
- Regular exercise
- No smoking
There are so many lotions and potions claiming to get rid of cellulite and firm tissue. One of the best ways to get rid of cellulite that I have personally experienced with great results is Bikram Yoga. Bikram Yoga, also known as Hot Yoga because it is ideally practiced in a room heated to 105°F with 40% humidity, reduced my cellulite significantly. The classes are about 90 minutes and include 26 postures plus two breathing exercises.
Here's another tip for cellulite reduction:
--When you drink water throughout the day, put a drop of grapefruit essential oil in your glass
