If Your Body Could Talk, It Might Just Give You Dirty Looks


Here are the Medieval eggs that Hero and I colored together.
My son and I dyed these eggs with purple onions, 'red' cabbage, beets and turmeric. The dyes that are typically used have lots of toxins and carcinogenic chemicals. Trying to keep my mammary glands, uterine tissues and our thyroids and DNA happy and healthy in the long term.

After finding some fibrous tissue in my breasts, I've been thinking about how my breasts feel about my pink "Soulmate" nail polish. I'm pretty sure they're glaring at me every time I put on foundation or lipstick that's not from Gabriel Cosmetics, or some other mineral-based, chemical-free company. Benzoin, formaldehyde, and parabens, are among just some of the cancer-causing agents found in these everyday products. And perfume contains hormone-disrupting, DNA-damaging, invaginating-your-cell-membrane-toxicants. Diluted essential oils are quite healing though, and you can create your own perfumes with floral, musky and earthy notes. For example, use jasmine, rose geranium, or ylang ylang (floral), with sandalwood (musky), and a bit of vetiver or frankincense (earthy).

In the thirties Bay Rum was a very popular scent for men. That cologne was made from the bay tree. The essential oil is still available today. It's a very spicy masculine scent which also stimulates hair growth and can slow male pattern baldness. Look to your mother's father to know your predisposition for that. Some men loose hair, because of their mineral or vitamin deficiency, slowed digestive tract, spending too much time in a sauna, and/or not stimulating new hair growth with proper brushing/combing/tapping. Alcohol is very acidifying to the body. Alcohol increases the chance of hair loss, as does the regular use of tight hats. So, if you are losing hair already, try to avoid wearing baseball caps or other hats with synthetic fibers. Your scalp needs to breathe.

The next time you reach for Obsession (or Eternity), ask, what would your boobs (or prostate) do?
