Simply Natural Nessa

There are some wonderful health benefits to drinking lemon water, some of which include the following. 🍋 Acting as a Natural Flush The liver is very active while we sleep. During this time the body is busy restoring and regenerating itself (one of these processes is known as autophagy). Drinking plenty of water, especially in the morning, may help to ensure that the body is able to carry out these jobs effectively. Some studies even show that lemon juice has the ability to help stimulate the proper production of stomach acid and bile. 🍋 Promoting Healthier Skin By flushing out the body regularly, along with improving digestion, lemon water may encourage clearer, healthier skin! The vitamin C found in lemons may help to reduce wrinkling, as well as dry skin from aging, and even damage from the sun. 🍋 Assisting Digestion Drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning when you wake up may help to kick-start your digestive system. However, one of the biggest factors that determine lemon water’s overall benefit is the temperature of the water. Drinking water – especially warm water – in the morning just after waking up will help in flushing out the digestive system as well as rehydrate the body. 🍋 Immunity Boost from the Vitamin C While the vitamin C found in lemons may not come in huge amounts, it does contain approximately 30-50 mg per lemon (this will vary). Potassium is another nutrient found in lemons. RECIPE: 🍋 3-4 glasses of warm, filtered water (not hot) 🍋 1 organic lemon, juiced To Make: 1. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze each half of the lemon into the water. Mix the lemon in with the water and drink. 2. Please note that after drinking lemon water, it’s a good idea to swish plain filtered water around the mouth for around 30 seconds or so just to help remove any acidic residue remaining on the teeth from the lemon juice, as this can damage the enamel overtime. #lemonwater #healthbenefits #detoxwater #livercleanse

The ingredients used in this homemade after sun spray have been specifically chosen for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. 🪻 Lavender Lavender essential oil is very well-known for its ability to help soothe and repair occasional skin irritations, due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. 🌿 Peppermint Peppermint essential oil delivers a soothing, cooling sensation to the skin due to the properties of menthol in the plant. 🪴 Aloe Vera Aloe vera gel is great for relieving pain and redness as a result of skin inflammation, due to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, as well as acts as a wonderful moisturiser, helping to prevent the peeling skin that can often arise after a sunburn. The gel encourages the production of collagen, which aids in the healing process of the skin, helping to improve the firmness, dryness and elasticity of the skin. 🍃 Witch Hazel Witch hazel contains anti-inflammatory properties (just like aloe vera) which may help in reducing the discomfort that comes with sunburn. It can be particularly soothing if paired with aloe vera. RECIPE: 🌱 1/2 cup witch hazel 🌱 2 tablespoons pure aloe vera gel 🌱 5 drops lavender essential oil 🌱 5 drops peppermint essential oil 🌱 2 drops helichrysum essential oil 🌱 1/2 teaspoon natural solubiliser (dispersant) 🌱 4 oz (or larger) glass spray mist bottle To Make: 1. In a small bowl, blend the essential oils with the natural solubiliser, ensuring the mixture is well combined. 2. Add the witch hazel to the glass spray bottle, then pour in the essential oil solution and cap the lid on tightly. Shake the bottle well to combine the ingredients together. 3. Apply this spray generously onto the affected areas of the skin for relief. 4. Store this spray between uses in the refrigerator and use within 1 month of making. Avoid spraying the solution around the eyes, as it may cause irritation. 5. Re-apply this spray as often as needed. #aftersunspray #herbalremedies #naturalskincare #naturalremedies #sunburn

How to make a homemade tooth powder that can help in remineralising the teeth using natural ingredients like bentonite clay, calcium powder, baking soda, herbs, and spices. The main ingredient in this tooth powder recipe is bentonite clay, which binds to and draws out heavy metals and toxins, a big plus for the mouth as it’s a gateway for viruses, pathogens and bacteria to enter the body. This tooth powder also delivers a hit of minerals, and may help to alkalise the mouth as well. The other ingredients used help support oral health include baking soda, which helps in removing stains on the teeth; calcium powder which may deliver an extra boost of calcium and assist in whitening the teeth; ground cloves and cinnamon, which provide antibacterial properties to this tooth powder and give the powder a more pleasant taste; sage, an antimicrobial which may help to neutralise microbes that promote dental plaque; and mint, which can be soothing on the gums, and provides a nice taste to the powder. RECIPE: 🌿 2 tablespoons bentonite clay (do not use metal utensils handling the clay, as it may interact with it) 🌿 3 tablespoons calcium carbonate powder 🌿 1 tablespoon baking soda (omit if you have sensitive teeth) 🌿 2 tablespoons ground mint or 10 drops peppermint essential oil 🌿 1/2 teaspoon ground sage or 4 drops sage essential oil 🌿 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon or 4 drops cinnamon essential oil 🌿 1-2 teaspoons ground cloves or 5 drops clove essential oil 🌿 1 tablespoon xylitol powder (optional) To Make: 1.
