What's on the Table!? ~ Health and Beauty Care with the Natural Intelligence of Plants and Herbs

  I completely nerd out on macrophages with Nikki on the Nikki Clarke Show! We also delivered Nikki her favourite Hotty Balm Mature to Dry along with a Stop the Sag Tea Bag in person. We were so excited to join live in studio at www.golivetv.ca! Gratitude to TEAO Canada for such a gorgeous spirit, cause and work in their community. We discuss reducing internal inflammation, EcoParent beauty info submissions, to what it means to be a small Northwestern Ontario community up against Hydro One Networking.

We love stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) for skin care! This is why we make use of this plant in products for both external and internal benefit at bee23.ca . In Part One we share from our Clinical Herbalist Diploma thesis, 'Natural Beauty is Anything but Skin Deep: An Exploration of Urtica dioica on the Skin Aesthetic via Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, and Immune System,' how stinging nettle is able to get to the very bones of our skin care woes by strengthening connective tissue. We will continue in Part Two with experts from this thesis concerning the anti-inflammatory capabilities of this all-purpose green powerhouse, and why this is important to include in our overall skin care regimen.  Inflammation is now recognized as a risk for age-related diseases and can have impact on the deterioration of the musculoskeletal system. Stinging nettle is a powerful anti-inflammatory, for both topical and internal use having impact on the musculoskeletal system and subsequently our ...

For those of you ready to dig deeper into your beauty vibe we are going to share our Clinical Herbalist thesis findings from ‘Natural Beauty is Anything but Skin Deep: An Exploration of Urtica dioica on the Skin Aesthetic via the Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, and Immune System,’ in 3 separate parts starting at the bones of this discussion, because we are so fascinated with how it all works together. We know if you are serious about your health and skin care this information will be of the utmost importance to you, even if you only absorb a few snippets! Studies show that there is a connection between the deterioration and dryness of skin and osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and various bone pathologies. This is a reasonable assumption considering connective tissue is responsible for the fortitude of our bones, hair, nails, and skin. Connective tissue has a role in the storage, absorption and disposal of waste from the body, it transports vitamins, nutrients and oxygen, while a...

Noticeable changes in the skin including wrinkles, pigmentation spots, and loss of elasticity are considered a natural part of aging, but what is aging? Current medical science explains starting in what is called middle age, the bodily systems become more vulnerable to daily wear and tear. During the latter half of our life span, an individual is more prone to have problems with various functions of the body. It is interesting to note that as far as scientists know, currently there is no hormone or code that causes death or self-destruction. We have ‘Aging Theories’ that range in hypothesis from preprogramed cellular divisions determining our life span, to a loss of molecular changes in the protein molecules of body tissues, or the over abundance of free-radical activity resulting in degenerative disease. Although Haas and Levin from Stayin Healthy with Nutrition state signs of age come with changes in our bodily systems resulting in poor delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues...
