Sleep For Fertility
Your body depends on you to take care of it well, and one of the easiest ways you can meet its needs is by going to bed early. Sleep contributes to your well being in many ways- weight control, healthy metabolism, proper hormone function, mental and emotional stability, memory and learning and guess what else – fertility! During sleep your body repairs the damage that occurred during the day by releasing the hormone melatonin. Based on the circadian rhythm it does this at about 10:30 every night. If you aren’t asleep when “the janitor” comes out to mop up all of the junk, it can’t do its job! Have you ever wondered why you can go to bed at 10, wake up at 6 and feel much more rested than if you go to bed at midnight and wake up at 8? This is why. In fact, every hour you sleep before midnight is equivalent to 2 hours after midnight. Lack of melatonin release puts the body in a stressed state and the reproductive hormones are the first to get out of whack when you’re body is stressed. Why would your body want to procreate in an stressful environment? Continue reading Sleep For Fertility
Natural Sunburn Relief
You feel terrible! Your child has been playing in the park (or at the beach, or in the pool) all day and even though he was wearing a hat and you slathered chemical free sunblock on him he still turned pink! Here are a few things you can do to make him (and you!) feel better:
- Smear plain, organic whole milk yogurt on skin asap. It will cool the skin and reestablish pH balance to help it heal faster. Leave it on until it warms up, or as long as your child will allow it. Then rinse with room temperature water. Reapply as needed.
- Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to room temperature coconut oil and liberally coat the sunburned skin. They will work in combination to soothe skin and speed healing.
- And of course I can’t leave out Aloe Vera gel! You’ll get the best results from an actual leaf, so buy a plant at the beginning of the summer so you can break off a piece, open it up, and rub some gel on that little pink nose. No plant in sight? No worries. Just check the label on the bottle of Aloe you are buying- only buy 100% pure Aloe Vera gel. No added color, fragrance, preservatives, etc.
