  in Natural Painkiller? Comment by stellaJewels
• Unfortunately i've always been very allergic to it, but never thought of trying a tincture topically. Probably not something i can buy, but have to make? I've been getting some relief using coconut oil packs (allergic to castor oil too...) but I'm w…

• I'm trying to get my core strength back with yoga and pilates and rebounding, but it's a twisted trade-off in that I have to take pain killers to be able to do the exercises... That's why I was hoping there was something natural to take the edge off…

• I think switching to only drinking Fiji Water has helped my hair growth, possibly b/c it has silica in it. Expensive but way worth it. Hair loss is also connected to hormone levels. You could get those tested, but remember that it's only a picture o…

• Hay ashton - I have a hard time with regular salad dressings, so I usually make one with coconut milk (baby thai meat + water blended, not canned) plus all fresh garlic, ginger, cilantro, basil, mint, lemon, salt and a little curry powder. Those all…

  in Not craving greens? Comment by stellaJewels
• I had to ease into greens too b/c they were really hard for me to digest (even in green smoothies). I started with green juice (Collards and/or Kale, parsley and/or cilantro, little bit of apple, ginger and lime) and now I can eat tons of them in gr…

• I agree with the yoga advice. I have Addison's Disease so I know the feeling of deep depression that comes with messy hormone levels. I found a great detoxifying yoga routine on exerciseTV available on my cable that NEVER fails to make me feel bette…
