All the healthy stuff lies in Flax Seeds (also called linseeds)!

These seeds have been cultivated for more than 7000 years. They contain many essential fatty acids (EFA) including Omega 3 and 6. These fatty acids help in the healing process of our skin.

Lack of these EFAs can cause dry and brittle hair and nails. The skin appears puffy and dull. Their intake reduces ageing and other age related symptoms.

Flax seeds are said to be VERY effective skin healers. Because Omega 3 can heal any skin ailment.

It is an ultimate edible cosmetic. It keeps your skin young, attractive, fair, spotless and radiant.

According to Dr Jeffrey, these seeds protect your skin by preventing everyday irritants from entering skin pores. They also have anti-inflammatory properties which can heal red or itchy skin.

This way it treats acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, dandruff and even skin tumours.

Flax is nature’s miraculous ingredient for hair. It is a secret to long, strong, shiny and healthy hair. It prevents the pre-mature greying of hair.

Flax also consists of lignan which has antifungal properties. So the regular flax eaters never develop dandruff.

Omega 3 are required to make anti-inflammatory hormones. So they are essential for healthy skin, scalp and sebum production.

Nails:

Our nails primarily act as indicators if we have any heath issues. Their examination usually help doctors identify illnesses or nutrient deficiencies.

Flax seeds contain almost ALL the nutrients that are needed for healthy nails. Eating these seeds regularly can help maintain strong, pink and spotless nails.

How to include Flax Seeds in diet?



Even 1 tbsp of these seeds are enough for the day.

Although it would be weird to eat a spoonful of these seeds alone because… its just weird I guess. But you can go ahead if you really like the idea of it. The taste isn’t too bad though.

You can add them to your oatmeal or cereal in the morning. You can sprinkle some on baked stuff like muffins.

My mum makes them in an Indian way. She usually roasts them to make them a little more crunchier. And she adds some salt to it. You can get an online recipe. It literally takes 2 mins to cook this.

I eat about 2 or 3 tbsp every day. I eat more than 1 tbsp just because I love the taste of roasted seeds. So eat up your delicious vitamins from today and eat them regularly to look and feel healthy inside and out!

 The Secret of this remedy is Rosemary Leaves !!
Yup you heard it right. And it is very inexpensive. You can find them easily in any Asian Grocery store or health store.

Legends of Rosemary Herb:

Rosemary herb is also known as the “brain herb” because it also stimulates mental activity.

It is the most oldest and respected herb available in the modern times.

The Romans literally worshipped this herb and thought it was a gift from the Gods! Well it really is!!

This is a very cool but strange fact: Rosemary is believed by some alchemists, although not scientifically proven, that the proper rosemary formulas attract elves, fairies and other good energies to your abode. Unbelievable right?

Cunningham suggested to use rosemary herbs to kick out some jealousy, excel in job interviews and for general house and office purification and cleansing. It sounds pretty sacred stuff huh.

Nowadays you can even buy Rosemary herbal tea. I don’t know if its gonna taste like poison but I do know that its pretty good for almost all your internal organs like liver, kidneys, heart etc…

I even heard a Legend of Rosemary Herb:
The legend is that that during a period of plague a band of thieves robbed the sick houses without catching the disease. How did that happen since the disease was really contagious?
Well it seems that the robbers prevented the deadly disease by drinking a medicinal vinegar that included rosemary, lavender, sage and other bacteria killing herbs and additives.  Ever since that legend was discovered, people have been making and drinking herbal vinegars.

So does that mean that this vinegar-mix is a natural anti-biotic? Who knows but it does kill a lot of bacteria better than the chemicals!
 
Rosemary is a REALLY good stimulant on hair follicles. This causes the faster hair growth. It is also known to help darken the grey hair.
 
So if you use rosemary in your hair regularly, it will prevent hair ageing in future. Whoa! Now who doesn’t want that!
 
It prevents pre-mature baldness, dandruff and dry hair. What can’t this herb do!
Although if you have light blond hair and you don’t want them to get 1 or 2 shade darker then you shouldn't try this remedy.
 
All You Need:

2 Tbsp Rosemary Leaves
1 cup warm water (NOT hot water because it will strip all the notations away from the herb)

1. Pour the water in a container and then put the leaves in. Leave this mix to steep overnight.
2. When you wake up in the morning, simply separate the leaves and water. Store the water in a spray bottle and you are good to go  
3. So next time when you wash your hair, you can spray this herbal water on your hair when it is 70% dry. Just use it as a leave-in-conditioner!
4. Spray generous amount on the scalp and hair and let it do the magic 

It doesn’t have any odour so that’s ok. Let me know how this remedy works on your hair in the comments below

DIY: How to Reduce Hair Fall Naturally, Grow Hair and Get Shiny Hair

The secret to reducing hair fall and giving a growth boost to your hair is Fenugreek Seeds. I know its like where am I supposed to find this but don’t worry you can easily find them in any Asian grocery stores.
Fenugreek is a herb that comes from India where they call it Methi. This herb is widely used in Indian delicacies. Not only it reduces hair fall but it also strengthens and hydrates them. And if you have dandruff as well, this is the way to go.
Basically these little yellow seeds were Rapunzel’s secret too Read more to learn how to make a Methi Mask…

I have two ways of making this Methi Mask so stay tuned for them!!

1) Methi & Coconut oil

• Take 1/4 of a cup of the Methi seeds and grind them into powder.
• Warm up enough coconut oil to make a paste. This will turn the oil into a liquid.
• Add the Methi powder in the coconut oil and mix it well.
• Apply this mask on the scalp and hair and massage it in for 2 mins.
• Leave the mask on for at least 2 hours or more. You can also leave it on overnight!

Of course you can use any other hair oil like Olive oil or Almond oil but I found this is the best option. Another easiest option would be plain Yoghurt. They are all effective!!
Instead of grinding them you can also soak the seeds in water overnight. And in the morning, you can ground them into a fine paste.

2) Methi & Water

I have a video linked below to show the procedure of this second recipe: 

Nowadays life has become very stressful for people. We either have the overloaded work or no job at all. Whatever the situation, the stress is the main reason why the hair falls.

So why not try out this remedy. The best thing about this is that its very cheap and it gives a lot to your hair to flourish.

This has become my new hair secret!

Is it going to be your next secret?

Although she says it doesn’t taste as pleasant but she also reveals that it is her biggest skin, hair and body secret. Basically its an all-in-one package. Yes it is 100% natural remedy btw.
This miraculous fruit comes from India actually. I didn’t know about it even if I was born there. But the true knowledge of this fruit was lost through the centuries. In ancient India, the princesses drank this juice too for their outer appearance. In 20th century, the scientists found this fruit again and it became popular in several countries.

It contains high amount of antioxidants and Vitamin A and C. It has 21 difference trace minerals and high fibre too. It is basically the father of all the berries known so far. It is good for the immune system, eyesight and for most organs of the body.

3) Exfoliation
A few days before the models have their runways shows, most of them suggested that they do an all over body exfoliation.
There are 2 types of exfoliators such as chemical and mechanical. Personally I prefer mechanical, because they also massage your whole body and improve blood circulation. My favourite type of body exfoliation is Dry Brushing. This exfoliation is also great for skin and body organs. Click on the link for more details.
I also have a post on exfoliators for acne-prone skin. Check it out below.

4) Yoga
Yoga is something that is an essential tool for any person that enters this glamorous world. It is because yoga balances out their mental health, general health and also improves their outer appearance. One of the main workouts of VS models is actually yoga. Now you are probably wondering since when is Yoga a workout. But to be honest it is WAY better than any workouts.
Physical workouts only provide toning of muscles and a good outer appearance. However, yoga helps internal organs, your brain to function effectively, keep the stress out and the list goes on… You can YouTube this and find your perfect yoga workout depending on your body. Not only models have adapted to it but also actors and actresses to maintain their outer looks. Namaste!

So, What is Noni?

Noni's scientific name is ‘Morinda Citrifolia’. It is a member of the Mulberry family also called ‘Indian Mulberry’. The Noni plant grows along lava flows and, as you would expect, grows rich in South India, Hawaii and Australia.

It is believed that this plant arrived on several Polynesian islands over 1,500 years ago from India.

Noni has been a central part of Polynesian traditional medicine.

This plant was considered as a miraculous healer in Ayurveda. Ayurveda is an ancient Indian, highly advanced system of natural medicine. Ayurveda is still practiced today in some parts of the world and I always try to substitute some Ayurvedic ways of living in my life. It has made a huge difference in my physical and mental health. If you have any further questions about Ayurveda, you may click on the ASK ME? tab above.

When Europeans began exploring the islands of the South Pacific in the late 1700s, they made note of the use of Noni among the natives. Captain James Cook owned journals where he recorded his observations of the natives using Noni.

During World War II, U.S. soldiers based on Polynesian islands were instructed in their field manual that Noni was recognized as a safe food staple to eat to sustain their strength.

It is herbal and hence totally, a gift of Nature. It contains various health enhancing elements that are antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, adaptagen, analgesic, anti-congestive, hypotensive, and has cancer-inhibiting compounds. It enhances cellular activity, the starting point of all nutritional metabolism.

Noni: Nature’s abundance bundled in one fruit.

It's effective in curing skin problems like acne and pimples. Aside from getting beautiful skin, drinking noni juice also helps healthy hair growth especially for those who are suffering from premature hair loss. In fact, many surviving cancer patients have turned to Noni juice to revive their hair follicles after chemotherapy.

Less than 1% people are allergic to Noni. They may experience a rash, itching, mild diarrhoea, or slight belching or trouble with breathing. Most of these symptoms are part of the cleansing process of Noni. Skip a dose or two and take lots of water. Most allergic symptoms disappear within 24 hours of discontinuing Noni.
