Ginger Treatment for Hair


Ginger Treatment for Hair 

Ginger is a popular spice from the root of the Zingiber Officinale herb. You're probably familiar with ginger in Christmas cookies and Asian foods, but the root is also used for a multitude of health problems, including nausea, respiratory issues, indigestion and heart health. And that's not all: the strong, stimulating properties of this root make it an excellent hair treatment.

* Hair Growth
Ginger works to increase scalp circulation. When blood flows to the scalp, it stimulates the hair follicles and encourages growth. The fatty acids in the root are great for thin hair. Use this recipe for hair loss, thinning hair or growing out a bad hair cut.

* Grate about 1 tbsp. of ginger root into a small bowl. Add 1 tbsp. of jojoba oil (or olive oil) and mix well. Rub this mixture into your scalp with massaging, circular motions. Leave on your hair for 30 minutes or longer. You should feel a warming effect on your scalp. Shampoo or rinse well.

* Dandruff
Ginger has antiseptic properties that work to get rid of dandruff. Use this recipe three times a week until you're dandruff-free.

* Mix 2 tbsp. of freshly grated ginger with 3 tbsp. of oil (preferably sesame, though olive will be fine). Add a dash of lemon juice. Massage into your scalp---you may not need the whole mixture, so refrigerate any leftovers. Leave this treatment on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse well.

* Sensitive Scalps
The strong tingling sensation of ginger may irritate your scalp, but you can still get the benefits of ginger hair treatments with a little modification. For hair growth, mix 1 tsp. of grated ginger with 1/4 cup of oil. Leave on your hair for 10 minutes. For dandruff, increase the amount of oil used in the recipe to 1/3 cup. Remember, you can decrease the amount of ginger and/or the duration of the treatment until you find the perfect mixture for your hair.

LOSE WEIGHT: 5 POINT PLAN

Eat an early dinner. Finish off your meal at least three hours before you hit the sack. At what time do you have your dinner? Research suggests that you should have finished your dinner at least three hours before going to bed. So if you start your dinner at nine and are in bed at eleven, you're not doing it right. Needless to say, for most of us it is more practical to change the time we have our dinner than it is to change our bedtime. Don't do it gradually. The most important thing is to make up your mind, make a plan, and stick to it. And what should your plan be Simply to keep a cut-off time after which you will not eat anything. How many of you return home from office at around 7:00, then eat a snack, and have dinner at around 9:30 or so And then, before long, you go to bed. The result All that food, just sitting in your stomach. Not very healthy, to say the least. Instead, skip the snack and have your dinner as soon as you return from office. Not only does is t...

HAIR REMOVAL METHODS

HAIR REMOVAL METHODS Read on for a quick run-through of various hair-removal methods, and select the options that work best for you. Often, a combination of various methods is the best. Waxing Waxing is a very widely used method of hair removal here in India. It is very convenient as one needs just do it once a month or so. In addition, there are a number of women who readily come to your home, charge very nominally, and wax your body quickly and efficiently. The advantages of waxing are that as opposed to shaving or using a cream, hair grows back much slower. Th is is because the hair is removed from the roots. However, if your skin is sensitive you may not be able to wax, as you may develop boils on certain areas of your skin. You may also develop in-growths when the hair grows out, leading to rough skin.

SCENTS AND SENSIBILITY

SCENTS AND SENSIBILITY It is always nice to smell good, and smelling good makes you more attractive. In addition, the knowledge that you smell good makes you more confident and makes you feel better. In fact, perfume ranks highest for its feel-good factor! Read on. Pulse points Perfume should be sprayed on the pulse points. There are five pulse points: the insides of the wrists, the insides of the elbows or the crook of the arms, the insides of the knees, the nape of the neck and just behind the ears. Unless you want to smell overwhelmingly potent, don't spray strong perfume on all the pulse points. Only do so if you are wearing a very mild perfume. Ideally, don't always spray perfume on the same pulse points every time. If you spray perfume on your wrists for example, spray them on the crook of your arms another time, and on the inside of your knees and the nape of your neck a third time. Though perfume is certainly not proven to harm your skin in any way unless you...
