Cold weather brings less humidity. When your skin dries out, painful fissures can result, bringing increased pain and chances of infection. This is particularly troublesome for people dealing with diabetes or impaired circulation.

It will then soak in and have a more significant overall effect. Formulated with the healing power of beeswax and jojoba oil, it works great to moisturize the feet and heals cracks in the skin within days.

Head lice are insects found close to the scalp, behind the ears and on the eyebrows and eyelashes. After using a removal kit, vacuum the rugs and furniture, and wash your child’s clothes, hats, bedding, and towels in hot water. Dry-clean items you can’t wash or seal them in plastic bags for two weeks. Continue to check the hair for two to three weeks to make sure all the lice and nits (eggs) are gone.

When we experience trauma or an upsetting event it leads to emotional stress. We may then stuff or store emotional attachments to the trauma and upset in our subconscious minds and create beliefs about life and ourselves that may not serve us well. Stuffed emotions and non-serving beliefs create stress. Too much stress equals physical, and mental/emotional symptoms. Physical and mental/emotional health issues may cause more stress and trauma. Gentle processes like emotional wellness and tapping enable you to release emotional attachments to trauma, stress, and non-serving beliefs to create calm, clarity, confidence, and peace.
