Beauty and the Liver! Why a healthy liver is a must for gorgeous skin.

We often over look this organ. Why is a healthy liver so important to great skin? This is one topic we discuss in Episode 5 of our TRU Beauty Confessions on the EPN Network ‘Walking in Beauty. 5 Beauty Must-Haves' with our guest Natural Health Practitioner Christina Bigelow. Read on to learn more. Listen on Spotify, Apple and Google here! The liver acts as the main biochemical synthesizer and detoxifying organ. It's responsible for cleaning toxins and wastes from the blood, and separating out the useful nutrients to synthesize hundreds of biochemicals that the body needs for daily functioning. The liver detoxifies harmful substances in two steps: First, enzymes and oxygen are used to burn toxins, especially fatty ones, so they are more water soluble, making them easier for the body to eliminate. Second, it combines partially processed toxins with sulfur or amino acids so they can be removed through bile or urine. Keeping the liver working optimally is very important to the healthy digestion of nutrients. A pertinent point Christina touches on is your skin and hair get nutrients last. The body is able to survive without good skin, hair, and nails, therefore these areas when the body is over maxed with inefficient functioning due to toxin overload and nutrient deficiency will be served last.

Make these into a sacred anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a perfumer. It will be the sacred anointing oil.” Extracts from the bark as well as leaves, flowers, fruits, and roots of the cinnamon tree are used in traditional medicine around the world for thousands of years. At one point, cinnamon was  more valuable than gold . Egyptians used the spice for various religious practices, as well as embalming. Cinnamon also played a role in religious ceremonies conducted by Medieva...

8 Reasons Why You Need Iodine!

I wanted to share an experience I had the other week that lead me to do a whole lot more reading on iodine. During a gym visit I was massaging the Lymphatic Body Oil into my neck after my steam, and I noticed how painful from my ear to my throat was, along with swelling in my thyroid on the right side. That same week prior to this discovery, I had decided to get an iodine liquid supplement and it arrived one day after I noticed this inflammation. I began taking the iodine supplement once a day and within 72 hours my neck had no pain, and my thyroid was completely back to normal. This prompted me to take a deeper dive into understanding iodine and how it functions in our body. 8 Reasons Why You Need Iodine Iodine is a trace mineral, and we need it in very tiny amounts, but it has huge impact on the functioning of our bodies. Babies need 90 mg of iodine, while adolescents and adults need 150 mg, with pregnant women needing 220 mg and breastfeeding women requiring 270 mg. It would appea...
