How Eggs Are Made: You Don’t Want to See, But You Do

by August 11, 2016

Chicken, eggs, baby chicks, and slaughter. Oh and don’t forget the growth hormones, harsh treatment, or confined spaces with barely enough room for breathing. This massive industry is not one that comes with a happy ever after for the poor creatures that are laying the eggs.

The disturbing reality is that unfortunately if we are not paying attention to the source of our food, or supplying food for ourselves, we are willfully living in ignorance and promoting cruelty.

With a variety of cruelty-free farms to choose from in most local areas, we oftentimes have the choice of finding a better source.  A verified and trustworthy source. There is always the option of getting your own chickens. However, if you fail to choose from either of these options…..you are better off not eating eggs at all. The information showed in the following videos has been available for a number of years. With information like this, it is unacceptable to ignore taking personal responsibility by voting with our dollars and resources, and saying NO to chemical laden, cruelty contaminated food sources!

She created two different homemade concoctions. The first consists of yogurt, honey, and rose petals, and the second combines coffee grinds, cacao powder, and honey. She places both on the places that she wants to highlight or contour.

Massage These Stress Points To Calm Down An Upset Baby

by August 10, 2016

Reflexology is a well-known and ancient cultural practice dating back thousands of years in China. Recently it has become quite popular in the West as a legitimate medical practice that is used to treat various physical and mental ailments. Reflexology not only provides a way to quickly and effectively help your baby obtain relief, but also can provide insight into the root causes of their discomfort. Use the following guide and information to begin soothing your baby naturally today.

Reflexology Chart for Babies

It has been said that babies are much more responsive to reflexology than full-grown adults. Their sensitivity to touch in general is likely the reason for this response rate. Typically, when your child is in distress, it is our nature to comfort them by holding them, or rubbing their back. This makes reflexology a perfect technique for them

Reflexology is the application of pressure to various spots on the body, mainly focusing on the feet. As it relieves stress, it also assists the body with healing and regenerating itself. According to research done in the 1890’s, a relationship exists between the skin and internal organs, and the whole nervous system adjusts to stimulus. The theory based on this states that pressure to hands, feet, or ears sends a calming message from the peripheral nerves to the central nervous system.

Specific points on the body, mainly the feet, are said to treat a variety of problems associated with corresponding body parts. The chart below indicates which area corresponds to which ailment. You can use this as a guide to discovery, or just a guide to soothe.

Baby-Reflex-Flat-700x466

Head/Teeth

The tips of the toes are the area of the foot corresponding to the head and teeth. It can also help for relief with neck problems, teething, and ear infection issues. Apply gently pressure while massaging the toes to relieve pain and symptoms associated with illness in these areas.

Sinuses

The center of the toes corresponds to the sinuses, as it is the center of the head/teeth zone. When applying pressure to this area you are reducing the severity of a number of sinus problems ranging from the common cold to other respiratory problems. While this is no cure for the illness itself, it can most definitely reduce symptoms and make these issues more bearable.

Chest

The area found directly above the arch is associated with the chest. By rubbing this part of the foot, you can alleviate congestion, chest pain, etc. This method is wonderful for coughing, and fluid build-up. Various studies have shown that reflexology is quite effective at reducing all forms of congestion.

Solar Plexus

The solar plexus is a collection of nerves located around the stomach and lung area. Although it is hard to narrow down the cause of pain in this area, by performing reflexology around the upper area of the arch you can help treat this pain. This is the area of the food where the arch ends and the foot meets the ground.

Upper and Lower Abdomen

By massaging the entire arch area, you can help your baby with their digestive issues such as bowel obstruction, as well as heartburn. The lower abdomen correlates with the lower portion of the arch. If you rub this area, you can assist in reduction of discomfort in the post-digestive process such as bloating or constipation.

Pelvis

The heels of a baby’s foot directly correspond with the pelvic area. Muscle tightness, and postural problems can be aided by using reflexology on the heel.

As an effective symptom and pain reliever, reflexology can help you to comfort your distressed infant. This method is by no means a cure-all, however, it is most definitely a way of soothing and alleviating the pain that comes along with various common ailments of your baby. Since it comes instinctively to rub or coddle our children when they are in pain, or distress, these tips are easily adapted into our normal routines to bring relief to our suffering children.

Most Bottled Water Is filled With Fluoride, Here’s A Complete List Of Brands To Avoid

by August 9, 2016

It seems like Fluoride is become one of our biggest enemies and is also becoming a topic discussed throughout many different places around the world. The negative effects of Fluoride have been well documented and brought to the public eye.

As it turns out Fluoride is commonly found in most water products, this is causing tons of health issues in millions of people. While some may argue that Fluoride is healthy for us or at least for our teeth, it actually is not. Fluoride negatively affects the human nervous system and actually is not good for our teeth at all.

Exposure to Flouride is even more common than we would like to think, it is unavoidable in this day and age. Fluoride can cause fluorosis which is a condition of overall complete tooth decay and malformation. It can have a negative effect on children’s IQ, cause brain disorders, cause body toxicity, and many other things. It seems to fit in right along with lead and mercury, to be honest.
