Make your own Toothpaste.

After sending my commercial toothpaste poison information out, I have had a huge response. . .  Like did you know the another common product used in standard toothpastes is 'Sodium Flouride' which is a by-product of aluminium manufacturing, which can also be found in rat poisons and industrial pesticides!!!

The Joy of Dry Skin Brushing

How to Dry Skin Brush

The skin is the largest organ of our bodies and it is estimated that the skin eliminates over 500g of waste a day. Daily dry skin brushing helps stimulate lymph drainage and improves circulation, which encourages your body to discharge metabolic waste, and helps clear the skin from getting clogged, which in turn aids the body to efficiently eliminate toxins.

1. Dry skin brush before a shower

2. Brush towards the heart - start with extremities - hands and feet and brush inwards and upwards.

3. Brushing towards your heart increases circulation and makes you feel refreshed and energised.

4. Avoid cuts and abrasions, and avoid the face.

5. Shower afterwards but don’t use soap

Kale Crisps

Kale crisps are a delicious savoury sprinkle or eat straight out of the bag. Adding the yeast flakes makes them yummy cheese flavoured. You will need a dehydrator (I use the Excalibur 5 tray version) and a good high speed blender. If you are into raw food prepping then it has to be a Vitamix Bender . . . simply the best ; ) . . . but at a price ; ( . . . and its well worth it :o)

Ingredients:
400 gms Organic Kale
1 cup cashew pieces nuts, soaked for up to 1 hour
2 tsp yeast flakes - (I use Engevita Yeast Flakes)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp tamari or 2 tbsp of soya sauce.
¼ tsp sea salt
Enough water to blend the mix into a cream in your blender

Preparation:
1. Strip and use the kale leafy bits from the hard stems - compost the stalks.
2. Then massage the salt into the kale leaves, squeezing and rubbing for a good 5 + minutes. Do this until they wilt and start to give off liquid and then set aside.
3. Blend all the rest of the ingredients till very creamy, in a high speed blender (Vitamix Blender) - add a little more water if needed for smooth result.
4. Mix creamy blend in with the kale - well coated.
5. Place the mix kale onto the mesh sheets that usually come with your dehydrator - don't pile it up, just make it even across the sheets.
6. Dehydrate for around 8 hours at 115 degrees until they’re proper crispy. I tend to do mine at night, and in my garage as the kale has a particular smell.
