You may have likely heard the term oil pulling and wondered, “What does that mean?” I know I sure did when I first heard about it many years ago. Oil pulling is the process of swishing oil around in your mouth for some length of time and spitting it out. The pulling part comes into play because you are pulling the oil through every crevice of your mouth. The practice originates from Ayurvedic medicine which, at over 5000 years old, is the oldest known form of medicine. Why w

Why would I ever need to do a heavy metal detox? Where in the world would I pick up heavy metals? Sadly, today our world is very toxic. We can pick up heavy metals in the foods we eat (think tuna and even corn syrup has been shown to contain them), water, air, dirt, immunizations just to name a few. They are really hard to escape.

Fresh air is best, and most of us live in less than ideal air quality environments. So, how do we keep our air healthy, and us healthy?

I want to share my most favorite, all natural DIY hand cleansing gel recipe. My family has used it for many years now. We have never liked the hand sanitizers you buy in the store.
