As there are no water-based ingredients in this recipe, you can re-melt and add more of each ingredient during the melting process until you get the exact consistency and texture you want. To make a thicker, harder lip balm, use one to two extra teaspoons of wax or, for a smoother, softer lip balm, use slightly less wax, more cocoa butter, and more oil. RECIPE: 🍃 1 tbsp beeswax 🍃 2 tbsp cocoa butter 🍃 2 tbsp sweet almond oil 🍃 1 tbsp jojoba oil 🍃 5 drops vitamin E oil 🍃 10 drops peppermint essential oil 🍃 Lip balm tubes or small lip balm tins To Make: 1. Make a double boiler by placing a small saucepan filled with a couple of inches of water over medium heat, and bring the water to a boil. Then, place a heat-safe bowl on top. The bottom of the bowl should not be touching the water below. 2. Melt the beeswax, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, and jojoba oil in the bowl, stirring regularly throughout until melted. 3. Remove the pan from heat but keep the bowl over the still-hot water to keep the mixture melted, then add in the vitamin E oil and stir through. 4. Add the essential oil and stir through. 5. Immediately begin transferring the hot mixture into the empty lip balm containers using a teaspoon. This must be done quickly as the mixture will start to harden as soon as it is removed from the heat. 6. Once filled, let the containers sit at room temperature for several hours until completely cool, then place the lids on and store the balm in places where they’ll be on-hand to use when needed (I keep one in my backpack, one in my handbag, one in my purse, and one in my bathroom). Glass or tin containers are a preferred option to store this lip balm in, as plastic leaches chemicals into whatever’s stored inside, particularly if stored for long periods of time, or if the contents are fatty or hot. #lipbalm #recipeoftheday #naturalskincare #lipbalms

When ground and roasted, dandelion root makes the perfect coffee replacement. Dandelion root contains high levels of a prebiotic fibre known as inulin, which plays an important role in feeding the friendly bacteria in our gut. When the good bacteria in our guts are well fed, they produce beneficial by-products that can help protect our colon cells from cancer. When dandelion root is roasted, it resembles the sweet-bitter taste of coffee. You can even add turmeric and ginger for an anti-inflammatory dandelion root latte recipe. RECIPE: 🌼 2 cups filtered water 🌼 1 tbsp dandelion root chunks, roasted 🌼 1/4 cup organic milk 🌼 1 tsp raw honey To Make: 1. To make this warm dandelion root latte recipe, start by roasting the dandelion root. Place the chopped dried roots on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes at 90°C (200°F). You’ll know they’re done when they look golden brown and smell fragrant. 2. In a small saucepan, add the dandelion root chunks and water, bring the water to a boil, then allow the mixture to simmer for 30 minutes. 3. Strain and compost the roots, then pour the liquid back into the saucepan along with the milk and honey. Heat the mixture on low until the liquid is warmed to your liking. 4. Place the latte mixture into a high-speed blender and quickly blend for 10-20 seconds to create some foam on top of the latte. Pour the latte into a mug and enjoy warm. #dandelion #latte #recipe #dandelionroot #dandelioncoffee

Some of the health benefits of doing a juice cleanse 🍃 To help with the problem of blood sugar spikes, it can help to juices that are 90% vegetables and 10% fruits to make the juices drinkable. Also, choosing low-sugar fruits like green apples and lemon can help. I like to use a blender for juicing, you don't necessarily need a juicer to make fresh pressed juices at home. I blend the ingredients, then strain out the pulp using a nut milk bag. It’s important to note that the body doesn’t need to go on a juice fast to detox, it already has a its own natural detoxifying systems, including the liver and kidneys, which filter out toxins; the skin, which excretes toxins through sweat; the gut which eliminates waste; and the lungs which remove carbon dioxide. #juicecleanse #juicing #juices #homemade #detox

The first step in making this cream is to make a calendula infused oil. Alternatively, you can purchase a quality pre-made organic calendula oil if you don’t have the time or resources to make one. You’ll need one cup total of this infused oil for the recipe, but I always figure it’s better to make more so you have some ready for next time, or to use in other recipes and DIYs. RECIPE: 🌼 1 cup calendula infused oil 🌼 4 tablespoons beeswax 🌼 10 drops lavender essential oil 🌼 10 drops frankincense essential oil 🌼 3/4 cup distilled water or rose water 🌼 Sterilised glass jars or tins for storage To Make: 1. In a saucepan, bring several cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, turn down the heat to a simmer and place a heat-proof bowl on top of the saucepan to make a double boiler. 2. Place the infused oil and beeswax into the bowl and allow the mixture to heat until the beeswax has completely melted, stirring the mixture constantly throughout this time to ensure it combines well. 3. Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and allow it to cool before adding in the essential oils. Stir the mixture well to combine the ingredients. 4. Using an electric hand mixer, slowly drizzle the distilled water into the beeswax mixture and whisk on high to combine the ingredients together. You may need to scrape down the sides of your bowl once or twice to make sure all of the water gets incorporated into the cream mixture. 5. Once incorporated, pour the cream into the sterilised glass containers and let the cream set for several hours before using. 6. Since this cream is made with water and does not contain any of the preservatives commonly found in store bought creams, it has a shorter lifespan of around 1 to 2 months, so it is advised to store this cream in the fridge between uses. #calendula #cream #recipe #calendulaoil #naturalskincare
