1. Apple cider vinegar can detoxify your home.

It's made from apple juice and is fermented to hard apple cider. It's then fermented a second time to become apple cider vinegar. By using ACV in lieu of other products, we instantly decrease the consumption of unnatural chemicals in our homes and daily lives.

2. It can make your hair shine.

Apple cider vinegar can be used as a rinse for your hair after shampooing, and will boost your hair's body and shine. I recommend recycling an old shampoo bottle, then filling it with 1/2 a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a cup of cold water. Pour the solution through your hair after shampooing several times a week for dramatic results.

3. Natural apple cider vinegar regulates the pH of your skin.

Dilute ACV with two parts water, and spread the concoction over your face with a cotton ball to replace your current toner. You can do this at night after washing, and in the morning before you apply your moisturizer. A dab of apple cider vinegar can also be left on the skin overnight to fade age spots or acne scars.

It's also a recommended agent for warts. For warts, soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar, then fasten the cotton ball over the wart with a Band-Aid overnight. The skin may swell some as it reacts with the solution. However, the wart will fall off. Once it falls off, the treatment should be continued for a few more days, to make sure the wart doesn't return.

4. It can remove stains from teeth.

Natural Cures for Skin Rash

There are many home remedies that work as effective natural cures for skin rashes. Many people have come to rely on plant-based treatments as natural cures for skin rashes. Whether it's eczema, poison ivy or a round of insect bites, rashes and their symptoms can be uncomfortable. The often unbearable itch associated with these triggers cause many people to seek out a variety of treatments to find relief, including herbal remedies.

Herbal and Natural Cures for Skin Rash

Although every rash should first be diagnosed by a physician to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may require additional treatment, the common rash is generally a temporary skin condition triggered by an allergic reaction. How do you find relief for skin rashes? The following natural cures have been used for centuries to comfort and treat topical rashes.

Oatmeal bath: Oatmeal has long been known to soothe itchy and dry skin. To remedy itchy skin, fill a bathtub with warm water and one cup of rolled oats. Soak for at least twenty minutes, and rinse thoroughly. For added relief, a few drops of lavender oil and one-quarter cup of Epsom salt can be tossed into running bath water prior to soaking.
Aloe vera gel: Aloe vera gel is known to heal many skin conditions and cuts. Rubbing Aloe vera gel directly on a skin rash will calm and soothe the itching. Because of the natural cooling effect, Aloe vera is a great remedy for sunburn related rashes.
Comfrey or chamomile tea: Several loose herbs are touted for their ability to calm and soothe. To create a comfrey or chamomile tea treatment, boil loose or bagged tea and then soak washcloths in the steeped tea. When the tea cools to the touch, apply the washcloths directly to the areas of discomfort. Reapply as needed. In addition, comfrey or chamomile teabags can be added to running bath water. Steep the tea in the bath and soak as needed.
Olive oil: Olive oil is another natural cure that can be applied topically to moisturize and soothe skin rashes. Because oil stains are tough to remove on clothing articles, apply olive oil on bare skin. Olive oil will nourish the cracked and itchy skin that is common with rashes while relieving the itch temporarily.
Vitamin E: Vitamin E, in capsule form, can be used directly on the skin. To apply, break open a vitamin capsule and apply directly on the skin as needed. Vitamin E will nourish and soothe cracked and dry skin.
Baking powder: Baking powder is another route for treating rashes. Baking powder will help dry out the rash, thus limiting the itching associated with it. To apply baking powder, gently spinkle a small amount in your hands and pat it directly onto the rash as needed to calm the itching and dry the rash.

Preventing Rashes

Those who are susceptible to skin rashes should increase their daily intake of Vitamin C to boost their body's natural immunity. In addition, sensitive skinned individuals should limit their exposure to soaps, cleansers and beauty products that contain harsh chemicals or dyes. Seek out natural plant based skincare and cosmetics in effort to limit your exposure to rash inducing triggers.

PROPERTIES OF HONEY

1. Honey is Hygroscopic

Honey has a hygroscopic nature, which means when exposed to air, it naturally absorbs moisture in from the air. In treating open wounds, honey is useful as it could help prevent scarring by keeping the skin moist, encourage the growth of new tissues, and allow easy removal of any dressing by preventing dressing from becoming stuck to the skin. Honey's hygroscopic properties also make it an ideal ingredient in a lot of cosmetics as it helps keep skin hydrated and fresh and prevents drying. Thus, some people call honey a natural "humectant" as it attracts and retains moisture. When used in skin and hair treatments, honey trap and seal in the moisture leaving skin soft and supple, and hair glossy and healthy.

2. Honey is Antibacterial

honey is antibacterial imageResearchers began to document the healing properties of honey in the early part of the 20th century. This ceased with the development of antibiotics but recently the development of resistance to antibiotics has led to a resurgence of interest into the healing properties of honey. The effective antimicrobial agent in honey prohibits the growth of certain bacteria. It contains an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide which is believed to be the main reason for the antimicrobial activity of honey. As such, honey is a useful treatment for wounds and scalds. Cuts, abrasions and scalds can be covered in honey to prevent bacteria from entering the wound and promote healing.
Honey can help treat minor acne by attacking the bacteria that cause the outbreaks while moisturizing the skin to aid rejuvenation. Types of honey differ greatly in their antimicrobial potency, varying as much as a hundred fold. Honey derived from the Manuka bush, found in abundance in New Zealand, claims the highest potency of such antimicrobial properties.

3. Honey is a Source of Antioxidants

Honey contains natural antioxidant properties that can destroy biologically destructive chemical agents which have been linked to many diseases such as cancer. Studies also found that dark-color honeys such as Buckwheat seem to possess more antioxidants than light-color varieties. Not only could honey's antioxidants help to eliminate free radicals in the body, they are also part of the nutrient supply for growth of new tissue. These precious honey properties help protect the skin under the sun and help the skin to rejuvenate and stay young-looking. As such, there have been an increasing number of manufacturers of honey skincare products such as sunscreens and facial cleansing products for treating damaged or dry skin.

● Lime – You can also use equal parts of lime juice and cinnamon powder and apply this mixture to blackheads. Leave it on overnight and rinse it off in the morning

● Cornstarch – Mix about a three-to-one cornstarch to vinegar ratio into a paste. Apply it to your problem areas and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Remove the paste with warm water and a washcloth.

● Yogurt – Mix three tablespoons of plain yogurt with two tablespoons of oatmeal. Add one teaspoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Stir the mixture thoroughly and apply it to the effective area of the face. Let the mixture sit for five to seven minutes then rinse off with cold water.

● Almond or oatmeal – Mix either oatmeal or almond powder with just enough rose water to make a spreadable paste. Apply it to your problem areas with your fingertips first and then apply it to the rest of your face. Let it set for about 15 minutes and then rinse your face with cold water.

● Rice – Soak rice in milk for 5 hours and then grind this in a blender until it is paste-like in consistency. Use the paste as a scrub on affected areas of the body.

● Potatoes – Grate raw potatoes and then rub the area with the mixture. Wash it off after 15 minutes.

● Fenugreek leaves – Crush some fenugreek leaves and mix with water to form a paste. Put this on the face for 15 minutes and then remove it. Do this every night to keep your face free of blackheads.
