Help Heal, a Healing Wound. Tips in Action:

By Tia Cristy

Tips in Action: Help Heal, a Healing Wound.

A scab forms over a cut, to protect the growth of new skin. But, what happens when the scab keeps snagging, pulls off when you remove the bandage or just coming off, before the healing is over? The scab can rip off fresh skin, and cause a new healing process to start. Painful and annoying!

Here’s a tip to help heal that healing wound, and help prevent this from happening repeatedly; apply petroleum jelly to the scab after, applying the antibiotic ointment. The petroleum jelly will help moisturize the scab to keep it on the softer side and protect it from snagging. Add some petroleum jelly to the bandage, as well.

This process has been effective in reducing scarring as well.

What Greasy Hair Could Really Be Telling You.

By Tia Cristy

Problem:
Hi Tia, love your site! My problem is my hair is looking greasy, after I wash it. I tried changing shampoo, but by the end of the day, it’s still looking like I haven’t washed it for days. What can I do? B.

Tip from Tia:
First off, thank you so much for reading! Yes, when hair gets limp and heavy, switching shampoo’s is the first step, because of build up, using a clarifying shampoo can break that down, to bring back clean strands.

Now, if that hasn’t worked for you and your hair is looking greasy by midday, your problem could be your scalp is actually excessively dry. And when the skin gets over dry, the natural defense is to lube it up and your body releases extra oils. The other part of that could be, your pores in the scalp are clogged in certain areas and it’s over oiling in other spots to compensate. Blocked pores are not a good thing they can lead to other problems, so unclogging is the first step. This is important for both women and men to know.

Here’s what you need to do. Get tea tree oil and add some to the palm of your hand and add in your shampoo, or get shampoo that has tea tree oil in it. Lather it up at the scalp and bring down to the ends. Let it sit on the scalp for a few minutes, you may feel a light tingle sensation. Rinse. This will unclog any pores. Tea tree oil has antibiotic and anti-fungal properties. (side note: the smell of tea tree can seem extreme at first, but the smell does diminish, and the aroma left behind can be appealing and easy enough to get use too. Plus, the results are usually worth the smell, if you don’t like it.)

Next you can choose to use conditioner on strands first then running it up towards the scalp, or do a scalp conditioning to your scalp with olive oil. putting olive oil on the scalp will moisturize the scalp without clogging the pores back up. Leave the oil on the hair for about five minutes and rinse out, then you can apply your regular conditioner to your ends working up the the root.

Doing this treatment once a month can help keep your hair in good balance.

Prime your Zippers. Quickie:

Quickie: Prime your Zippers.

Seasons change and so do our wardrobes. Whether you’re putting jackets away or pulling them out, boot swaps, and jeans for jean shorts; be sure to prime your zippers, as I like to say.

Zippers get stuck and tricky after awhile. Struggling with a zipper, can only lead to an uncomfortable moment. Get a sharp pencil and run it across all your zippers before storing clothes or after pulling them out. The graphite will give the zipper a whole new life.

Relieve Mental Stress. Tips on Triggers:

Tips on Triggers: Relieve Mental Stress.

 

Anything overwhelming can cause a stress reaction. Financial difficulties, daily responsibilities, jobs, kids, etc. can cause this immediate response. Oddly enough, when you see someone or you, yourself tend to be stressed out, you may rub your temples or pinch the top, of the bridge of your nose. It is just a natural reaction or response, which incredibly, is the subconscious, knowing how to heal you.

It truly makes sense, since those are 2 main areas, to trigger stress relief.

After rubbing those areas, to calm the brain, rub the very top of your head, while taking a few deep breaths, to invigorate and balance the mind, while work towards, pushing your stress far away.

Peppermint is Good for the Nose. Tips in Action:

By Tia Cristy

Tips in Action: Peppermint is Good for the Nose.

Peppermint has a lot of good properties, but did you know it’s good for the sinuses? Peppermint can kill bacteria and fungus that harbors and makes a film in your nose. This film is called biofilm and it’s bacteria and fungus’ natural defense, to prevent medicines from doing their job. 

So, if you have had chronic sinusitis or a bad smell in your nose that you just can’t shake, try a drop of peppermint oil mixed with water, on a cotton swab and gently, swab the nostrils. Doing this twice a day, for 4-7 days will break down and kill the bacteria and fungus, that has been ruling your sinuses.
Always consult with your doctor before trying any medications or homeopathic remedies. If symptoms persist longer than a week, you should contact your doctor for testing and treatment.
