Y'all this is a great thread!
Here are some of the things I use:
- aloe vera gel. everywhere. I use it to style my (curly) hair, shave my legs (no cuts!), put on my skin. it's fantastic. I use the fruit of the earth brand, and it's pure aloe very gel.
- I make a hair gel out of whole flax seeds. great for moisturizing and adding shine. I can put up the recipe if anyone is interested.
- honey goes everywhere! on my face, in my hair (shine! but watch out- it's a humectant!) and in almost all of my food.
- if you use local honey, it will help with allergies
- tea tree oil is a natural antimicrobial, and is excellent for skin massage. Don't use on broken skin!
- jojoba oil and vitamin E oil are fantastic makeup removers, and they leave your skin and eyelashes soft and lush.
- I use a spray of purified water, two drops of honey, a few drops of sweet orange essential oil, and few drops of vitamin e along with a good few pumps of aloe vera. It's an all-over energizer spray.
- zinc taken once a day will help keep your immune system in top shape
- putting a piece of potato on your forehead relieves minor headaches
- taking iron or eating iron-filled veggies helps reduce restless leg syndrome (but be careful- too much iron is VERY BAD for you)
