Burdock is popular in Japan as a source of vitamins and nutrients as some of its active ingredients are arcigen, calcium, chlorogenic acid, essential oil, flavonoids, iron, inulin, lactone, mucilage, polyacetylenes, potassium, resin, tannin, and taraxosterol.

If you ever try SkinAgain’s Healing Serums for a personal skin issue, you will notice that it works to soothe pain immediately.  Why?  Because one of its super- active and all-natural ingredients is . . . yes. . . you guessed it – Burdock Root!

I do know that it is mainly known as a treatment for the skin, applied to cuts, burns, eczema, and the like.  The juice or gel from the Aloe Vera plant is used in numerous serums, cosmetics and burn creams. It is an essential ingredient in SkinAgain Healing Serums.

Another interesting use of Aloe Vera is in juice!  As a great “all purpose tonic” aloe vera can strengthen levels of energy and general well being. It can relieve signs of abdominal pain, peptic ulcer, upset stomachs and constipation just by drinking its juice. Taking two to four ounces daily of aloe vera juice can provide your immune system the necessary nutrients for cleansing the digestive system. Who knew?

Is aloe vera juice part of your daily routine? Do you make your own? Tell us about it!

Without consciously being aware of it, we give our feet a beating every day.  From hitting the pavement, flexing, bending, carrying the weight of our lives and then, of course, our oh-so-cute shoes . . .

In ancient times, gratitude for these funky body parts were a daily ritual, and they knew what they were doing.  They somehow knew that treating these kind ‘supporters’ of our souls did more than just prevent soil from entering the home.  They knew that the footbath unwound the stress, cleared scattered energy, grounded them and prevented some very unwanted side-effects later on in life.

Simple immersion into warm water can be an effective way to calm not just the feet and body, but the mind as well.

For maximum benefit, you can tailor your soak to the season.  In winter, just the warmth can do the trick.  For Spring, add Epsom salts to boost detoxification.  In Summer, add peppermint oil to boost circulation and energize your spirit.  In the Autumn, add a teaspoon of almond oil and light some candles.

To conclude any sole-soaking ritual, always use an all-natural moisturizer like SkinAgain’s pHo-tone Energizing Healing Serum, to hydrate the skin.

It is also very important that the skin on the feet is taken care of by keeping them soft and healthy with special creams and serums do not any ingredients that could possibly make the situation worse like fragrances, dyes or preservatives derived from sugars, or ingredients that could turn into sugar.

One excellent treatment available today is SkinAgain’s all-natural nEu-tone™, a Healing Serum designed to keep your feet soft, healthy and refreshed. SkinAgain nEu-tone™ deeply hydrates, softens and naturally protects dry rough skin on your feet. It is non-greasy and quickly absorbed.  With regular use, people with diabetes can maintain feet that feel softer and healthier.

Despite being chased out of our campsite by a bear (no, I’m not exaggerating!), it was the R&R I needed.  No mirrors. . .

Sometimes at 51 I find it hard to look at myself.  I’ve been on camera a lot lately, so I’m kind of forced to.

However, I am quite happy to be of this age and discovering who I am in my 50’s. After all, old is the new sexy, right? (. . . right??)

Here’s what I’ve discovered I like to do in my 50’s:

1. Bathe, not shower

2. Wash my hair twice a week

3. Exfoliate a lot

4. Act like a puppy

5. Put my sweats on as soon as I get home

6. Have a facial once a week

7. Yoga

8. Selected sex (subject for future blog…stay tuned)

9.  Tapping (subject for future blog…stay tuned)

10. Breathe deep

So, to all my 50-something sister/friends out there. . . please comment.

Tell me your 50-something age and the top 10 things you’ve discovered you like to do at this age, and I’ll send the first 20 commenting bloggers a 2 oz travel size of  SkinAgain’s Original Healing Cream with peptides to diminish fine lines and tighten skin (and a whole lot of other things too).

Who knows?  Maybe we’ll all find some new favorite things to do at 50+!

Peace & Love,  Sherrie
