Face & Body Rejuvenation using Natural Holistic Serums

Rejuvenating Treatments: beeswax, 100% natural oils, clays, colors..

Everybody would like to try 100% Natural Rejuvenating products. But where are they, and if you can find something good, how can you use them instead of your regular beauty treatments?
We have answers for you.

Lets understand Rejuvenating Treatments. 
They differ in terms of ease of use, time needed to undergo the treatment, the time for which benefits would be seen, budget, etc. They could be said to be of these 3 types.
1. Home- Use Serums, e.g. Olay, Vichy
2. Salon Treatments e.g anti-aging Facials, Peels, Body Polishing, etc.
3. Special clinical procedures, e.g. Botox, Hairgrowth etc

Depending on your preferred choice of treatment, you can use the Perfect Rejuvenating Treatments from Holistic Serums to extend or replace them with good benefits.
Being 100% Natural, they would not contain skin-sensitizing ingredients and instead of short-term beauty treatments, they can provide long-term benefits

1. Home-Use Serums e.g. Olay, Vichy
Mainly synthetic chemical based, with some natural ingredients. Benefits are present during usage and disappear in 1-2 days of stopping usage.
Use Orchid Serum  to impart lasting rejuvenation. After initial regular treatment, need only use 2-3 times weekly or monthly depending on age & skin texture.

2. Salon Facials
Anti-aging  & Rejuvenating Facials generally use stronger chemical product + instruments that need professional training. Provide clarifying, toning & lightening effects for one month or more.
Use Blueberry Seed Polish  as a moisturising, exfoliator
Use Beauty Secret Masque  to provide immediate tightening and clarifying effect &  Use Orchid Serum overnight to extend benefits for very long.

3. Stronger procedures e.g. Peels
Chemical peels are suggested for dull skin with deep blemishes where top layers of skin are peeled off by strong acid solutions. P rovides longer-lasting clarifying, with drawbacks such as irritation, sensitivity, etc. as skin heals back.
Use Blueberry Seed Polish to polish top layers & Use Pure Rose Creme overnight to fade stubborn blemishes in inner layers. Skin is not stripped of its natural cover but renewed gently.

4. Specialized Procedures e.g. Botox

Botox/ Neurotox are applied to specific face areas- forehead  folds, eye wrinkles, etc. They are an invasive procedure, with precautions. Provide immediate ‘lift’ benefits &  may need to be repeated 1-2 times per year for best results. Highly expensive.

Orchid Serum provides similar (not same) type of lift in several uses, non-invasive, no side-effects like frozen facial muscles.

5. Body Polishing

Body Polishing is a treatment similar to a “facial” but for the body. Provides a smoother, fresher looking arms, legs, back.. 

Use Blueberry Seed Polish  as a ultra- moisturising exfoliator, to treat arms, legs, back, neck etc. Provides a toned, radiant and smooth feel, fading spots, fine lines, folds. Also richly nourishes very dry skin, and subsides itch-causing bacteria.

6. Manicure/ Pedicure

For hands & feet, 

Use Blueberry Seed Polish  as a ultra- moisturising exfoliator for immediately firmer, smoother & clearer hands.

Use Beauty Secret Masque in addition for extra- wrinkled hands for  even-toned, clarifying effect.

We have been enhancing the amazing Orchid Serum over the years and I think its about time to re-visit it. See old post: http://activenaturals.blogspot.in/2008/08/exploiting-orchid.html

The Flower
Known for its elegant, timeless & classic beauty,
the Orchid takes pride of place among exotic flowers. The national flower of Thailand & Singapore, the Orchid is celebrated for its emollient &  antioxidant properties, used in beauty preparations in Asia for centuries for reparative and protective properties, and reducing appearance of fine lines.

The Ingredient
One of the new developments in modern science is a delicate extract from the Orchid. The flowers of the White Orchid are processed in an oxygen- rich environment to produce this rare & highly valued ingredient, a super potent plant lipid.
This lipid, which  provides energy for seeds to survive during the germination process, is.rich in minerals which exist naturally in the skin: zinc, calcium, magnesium, iron and copper.
The extract is clinically tested to be non-irritating, non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic, gentle even for sensitive skin.

The Serum
Orchid Serum is a complete anti-aging serum for the face, the reparative properties of Orchid being greatly enhanced with select precious natural oils:
Macadamia Nut oil to regulate sebum balance; Evening Primrose & Shea Oils for emollient, detoxifying properties, Seabuckthorn berry & Natural Vitamin E improve skin texture.

The Benefits
Aims to provide all-round benefits: improves skin texture, firmness, minor blemishes & anti-pollution effects by opposing free radicals that toxify and dull skin. People who travel a lot will benefit immensely.
Pronounced effects are seen along the jawline, folds around lips and eyes, forehead and neck
Forms a smooth light-reflecting surface over skin. Regular use shows clear, radiant, even-toned & nourished skin.

Other Uses of Orchid Serum

Orchid Serum may be used on neglected  hands & feet which are darkened due to pollution effects.
Using Beauty Secret Masque 1-2 times monthly will  provide similar benefits for hands & feet.

Orchid Serum provides immense benefits for people who undergo rapid weightloss, like post-baby Moms and those on focused exercise & diet regimes.

When the body loses weight rapidly, skin which had been extended for a long time cannot snap back to original shape as it has lost its elastic properties. This is especially true when fat from the face is lost and the face loses its toned look.
In such cases, Orchid Serum may be used to firm sagging facial features.

Another area of concern for those into exercise is that newly gained muscle tone can be felt, but hidden under skin. These sagging skin areas are generally along lower belly, upper arms, etc.-wherever thin, stretched-out skin may be held in between two fingers.

Our Body Product, Tummy Tucker Xtra, with similar ingredients to Orchid Serum is very helpful in this case. This will help tone sagging skin (not tissue) to restore elasticity, cause firming and show off newly toned muscle.

The Perfect Pearl of an Answer to the Seeker of a 1000 questions: Christians & Circumstance and, therefore, of Christ

Many times in life, I’ve faced uncomfortable questions from different people.
And I could never answer, them or myself,  with my faith, strong & unwavering, neither my analytic abilities, nor the depth of spiritual insight.

But the Perfect Answer, for the 1000 different questions, was not fully formed- until the years of pressure piled up the layers on that sand grain to make it the Pearl- the Perfect Pearl of an Answer.

And some of the questions, maybe, you have more, run like this-

Why do many, many Christians think and act like they have the right to fix anything, why do they suffer this feeling of moral superiority?
Why do some take the name of God and try to make other people, in words, or deeds- suffer in order to change.

And why is it, that people who are spiritual and good, face things that the evil should?

And the Perfect Answer needs a setting to understand- like a Pearl needs a string to be worn.

Christians relate to Christ in different ways and their understanding of Christ comes from their relationship. Because each relationship confers distinct rights, these are the things they try to impose on others.
It may or may not seem wrong, depending on your perspective.

To some christians,
Christ is an Family Friend, bringing good gifts when good, bad when bad and that is how they talk about Christianity to other people. Follow Christ or go to hell. Get fixed, or else. And that, too, is true.

To some,
He is a Doctor, someone to take medicine from. And they talk about Christ like someone who will help if prayed to, who has come to do good, more than anyone else. That too, is true

To some,
He is a Family Member, Who will take part in daily circumstances, help a bit through the tough circumstances of life, as much as possible.  And they think life which comes at them, is what has been written by Him for them, and it is necessary to bear it so - nothing too bad will happen.

And there may be many other levels of relationship.

And these imperfect relationships, and rights, make already imperfect humans say and do things that people are offended by.
And while they may not mean harm in their heart, their inherent weaknesses, and their human drives, generally aggravate and twist something right into wrong. 

And they try to push or goad or drag you to Christ.

But as we rise to the Highest levels of relationship, 

To that of the Sum Total of the desire of life- He is the beat of the heart.

And the thought of the human mind will bend to Him, and the hate of the heart will change to Him.
And sometimes this imperfect human will say things, hear things, do things and get things done to them - things that should not be heard or borne.

But one chosen to reach this level, for many are indeed called, but few opt to be chosen,- to aspire to look away from the world and gaze upon the Face of the Divine-

For a Pearl is formed only through the injection of sand grains- and the Pearl that is Christ's Heart, can only be formed in yours, as He injects irritants, and piles on pressure, and lets it alone for the time it needs to form.

 He injects, and He bruises, and it is right that it be so, because to gain such a Pearl as this, to feel a Love like this, a man can sell his life, and his soul.

But why?
Because, in order for men to give up their souls,
in order Create new hearts,
in order to change the world,

 He needs an Oyster that can bear a bruise, and show a Pearl.

And the days are coming, and now are,

To put on public display

Christ, the brightness of the Father's Glory
and the express image of His Person
upholding all things by the word of His power

When broken earthen pots, will show the treasures of the richness of God.

And this is the calling of God- to awe the nations with the in-esteemable riches of His glory- so that all may be Drawn to Him- not pushed or dragged..

Soy Protein- Good or Bad? Protein or Hormone Disruptor?

Soy is one of the most controversial foods today, vilified as either a harmful substance or praised for its nutritional superiority.

Negative aspects to soy:
it is a common allergen, difficult to digest for many , and typically grown as a genetically modified  (GMO) monoculture to make it a protein isolate, as powders, Soy Milk,
This  industrially produced fractionated form of soy protein isolate is what is consumed in America (& India) as processed meats from fast foods. (Mealmaker in India)
Certain research suggests that it is a Hormone disruptor, upping estrogen levels, and the side effects associated with it.

Positive aspects of Soy
There is a difference between how Soy is traditionally consumed in Asian culture as opposed to what is being promoted now.
Its traditional whole foods forms- Fermented foods  are highly nutritious and healthy.
Traditional Asian cultures ingest about one ounce of soy daily on average, often in fermented forms such tempeh, miso, tamari, edamame, and tofu.

Many people who find that soy is harder to digest than other beans have an easier time digesting its fermented versions.
So it seems that, soy, eaten in its fermented form, in moderation, is beneficial as a high protein phytoestrogen, with all of the inherent benefits, including increased bone density; fewer menopausal symptoms; and lowered incidence of breast, uterine, and prostate cancers.

Soy, in my opinion, is a medicinal bean, rather than an ideal staple source of protein.
