1/2 cup of baking soda,
enough liquid detergent to make a texture like frosting.
5-7 drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil

Simply pour baking soda into a bowl, and add enough liquid detergent to make a texture like frosting. Scoop the mixture onto a sponge, and wash the surface. This is the perfect recipe for cleaning the bathtub because it rinses easily and doesn’t leave grit.

1/4-1/2 teaspoon liquid detergent
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 cups water

10 drops Clean Glass Blend to wipe grime off windows. Bonus: This Blend of oils may repel flies.
Spray bottle

1 cup or more baking soda
Water
A squirt or two of liquid detergent

Sprinkle water generously over the bottom of the oven, then cover the grime with enough baking soda that the surface is totally white. Sprinkle some more water over the top. Let the mixture set overnight. You can easily wipe up the grease the next morning because the grime will have loosened. When you have cleaned up the worst of the mess, dab a bit of liquid detergent or soap on a sponge, and wash the remaining residue from the oven. If this recipe doesn’t work for you it is probably because you didn’t use enough baking soda and/or water.

1/2 teaspoon washing soda
A dab of liquid soap
2 cups hot tap water
5 drops of Multi Clean

Safe-Sun tips:

Listen to your body - When you first step into the sun, it feels amazing! The sun warms you to the core as your skin drinks in the vitamin D and naturally starts to detox. After a while, the good feeling will start to fade and you will begin to feel overheated and fatigued; this is your sign to head for the shade. Your body is smart, and it knows when it’s had enough.

Hydrate - As your body detoxifies and sweats out impurities, it’s important to stay hydrated, and not with just water. Make sure you replenish your electrolytes as well. A great way to do it is to make some iced tea with raw honey, a pinch of sea salt, and some trace minerals.

Protect your eyes - Eyes are especially sensitive to the sun, so when you’re gallivanting on the beach in your itsy-bitsy, grab a hat or some shades. You’ll look mysterious while protecting your precious peepers.

Rest - The sun can be draining, so don’t dive straight into a game of chicken after a competitive match of volleyball. Give your body time to recuperate from it’s work out, and remember to…

Eat - As the sun gets hotter, our appetites get smaller. That may work out for us as we strip off our layers, but we cannot neglect to give our bodies the seasonal health foods it so badly craves. Next time you head to the beach, pack some watermelon, berries, nuts, and salads to keep your strength up all summer long.

Over many years we have found that preventing or reversing inflammation is all about listening to your body. From that listening you can begin to learn first-hand what increases or reduces your body’s inflammatory response. You can cool your body’s inflammatory response and keep it healthier over time by taking one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you. This is the approach we have found to be most effective and sustainable over the long term. -

At the heart of many pain-causing conditions is chronic inflammation. A natural immune response to infection or injury, inflammation can become chronic due to factors like poor diet, stress, lack of exercise, and exposure to environmental toxins.

If you suffer from an inflammation-related condition such as arthritis, neck and back pain, or tendonitis, adding anti-inflammatory herbs to your health regimen may help you manage your pain. Although not as fast-acting as standard pain medication, such herbs may significantly diminish your pain when used regularly (especially when combined with daily exercise and the practice of relaxation techniques, both of which can provide pain reduction).
