-About Jatamansi (Indian Spikenard)

Jatamansi in Sanskrit; (Nardostachys jatamansi), botanical name; Indian Spikenard in English also called nard, nardin, and muskroot is a flowering plant of the Valerian family that grows in the Himalayas of Nepal, China, and India. It is used in the manufacture of an intensely aromatic amber-colored essential oil. The oil has, since ancient times, been used as a perfume, also as a medicine and is mentioned in Biblical history. Indian Spikenard or Jatamansi was one of the early aromatics used by the ancient Egyptians, in Israel and has also been used historically by wealthy Roman women in perfumes and beauty preparations.

Indian Spikenard is an aromatic rhizome. The botanical name has its roots in the Hindu word Jatamansi, which means, “dreadlock of hair”, due to the roots appearance. “The plant grows to about 1 m in height and has pink, bell-shaped flowers. It is found in the altitude of about 3000–5000 meters. Indian Spikenard rhizomes (underground stems) can be crushed and distilled into an intensely aromatic amber-colored essential oil, which is very thick in consistency. Nard oil is used as a perfume, incense, a sedative, and an herbal medicine said to fight insomnia, birth difficulties, and other minor ailments.”¹ It’s also been used for centuries to promote hair growth and to eliminate gray hair and maintain natural hair color.

Vanish Dark Circles Under Eyes with Natural Skin Treatment

Vanish Dark Circles with Natural Skin Treatment

Our skin is the thinnest under our eyes. Therefore, our eyelids can benefit from more moisture and healthy under-eye skin treatment. How?

• Drink tons of water and healthy drinks.
• Yes, sliced cucumber or cooled green tea bags actually work to cool the skin.
• Lighten dark circles with a slice of potato filled with nourishing enzymes.
• Don’t forget your Vitamin C. It helps you avoid discoloration of the eyelid.

What Causes Dark Circles Under Eyes Anyway?

Nowadays, even young people are suffering from tired-looking eyes. Also, many people think that dark circles under eyes are a sign of aging, due to poor circulation in the blood. So, why all the dark circles? Overworking the eyes is one of the main reasons, especially with young people.

Stress is a major factor, combined with not enough rest; endless focus on screens: computer monitors, smart phones, iPads and those other tablets, 24 hour satellite and cable smart televisions that stream things to you so that you can see even-more-stuff, with weary, puffy, darkened circles under your eyes. Additionally, there are other factors:

• An improper diet can wreak havoc on the entire body, including the eyes.
• Unwanted darkened circles can appear from dehydration; water is an absolute necessity for so many body functions. So, drink up and avoid those dehydrated, darkened circles.
• Fatigue was mentioned previously. But it’s not only eye fatigue. Overall physical exhaustion can cause tired-looking eyes. So make sure you get your required hours of sleep every night and wake up looking ‘bright-eyed’ and younger each morning.
• Additionally, inflammation, or a build-up of melanin and even heredity can be responsible.

Tip: Facial and Eye Care Skin Treatment

While caring for your face and skin with a weekly (or bi-weekly) face mask treatment, don’t forget your eyes. Simply, add cucumber slices or cooled green tea bags or potato slice over your closed eyes while waiting for the face mask to dry.  Remove when treatment is completed.

• Saba’s Herbal Face & Body Mask Skin Treatment is made up a special mix of ancient, natural herbal ingredients that also include orange peel, lemon peel, manjistha, turmeric, rose, cucumber, tulsi and indrajao. Mix about a tablespoon with a little water until it turns into a soft paste; apply to wet skin as a mask (avoid eye area).  
• Next: Apply your choice of ‘eye covers’ to closed eyes: cucumber slices, potato slices or cooled green tea bags.
• Wait 15-20 minutes until face mask hardens; then gently wash off with soft cloth.

Hair Breakage -6 Reasons and 6 Solutions- Pt. 2 of 2

Hair Breakage – Reason #4
Excessive Hair Pulling

Styling hair in tight hairstyles that pull and tear your roots, such as: tight braids and up-dos, tight ponytails, etc. Using abrasive combs and hairbrushes can cause damage to your hair. Not protecting your hair at night can cause friction from the fabric fibers and produce hair fall.
Hair Breakage – Solution#4
Be Gentle to Your Hair

Brush gently: Using a non-abrasive hairbrush (with nylon bristles or natural boar bristles or similar) to gently massage in hair oils encourages scalp stimulation to slightly increase hair growth; and blood to reach follicle at the root. Healthy circulation promotes better hair growth.


Protect with safe hair maintenance: Try and avoid styles that constantly pull and tear your roots (tight braids, tight ponytails, etc.) If you must braid, loose braids are best day or night.  If you braid your hair before sleeping, satin helps reduce friction from hair against fabric fibers, thus protecting against breakage. Simply cover hair or braid(s) with a satin sleep bonnet; satin bun cover or using a satin pillow protects your braids or other hairstyle.

Hair Breakage – Reason #5
Using damaging hair accessories

The following unsafe hair accessories can tear your hair out, cause severe hair breakage and cause extreme damage to your hair:

• Rubber bands, stick elastic
• Combs, headbands, etc. with sharp teeth
• Hair accessories with sharp edges
• Hair clips, barrettes, bobby pins that constantly pull hair will also pull it out.

Hair Breakage – Solution#5
Use safe hair accessories

Safe hair maintenance means using accessories that won’t undo all the healthy hair care that you’ve worked so hard to achieve: 

Soft headbands; scarves; Ouchless-type elastic band (no rubber); hair jewelry or flowers real/synthetic, gently clipped to plastic hair pins; hair scrunchies made of elastic bands or soft non-damaging fabrics; seamless plastic barrettes, rounded teeth. For really long hair, try a hair fork (Asian-Inspired) or hair stick that doesn’t have sharp metal sections or seams; Amish steel hair pins or Amish hair snaps (look like a clip, but very gentle).

Hair Breakage – Reason #6
Ongoing use of chemical hair dye

Chemical hair dye penetrates the cuticle of the hair, damaging it. The hair is exposed to para-phenylenediamine (PPD), hydrogen peroxide, ammonia and other harsh chemicals, causing overlapping of cuticular seates to lift from the hair cortex, thereby leading to rapid loss of amino acid. By removing the proteins that build the structural strength, the hair shaft is weakened with every application. The chemical damage results in an easily fractured hair shaft and eventual hair loss.

Hair Breakage – Solution#6
Protect your hair with pure henna

Dermatologists have recommended the use of all natural pure henna for hair to prevent potential scalp allergy and hair loss caused by the overuse of chemical hair color dyes. Pure henna coats the hair and doesn’t penetrate the hair shaft. Pure henna contains conditioning properties that are quite beneficial to hair. Allergy to pure henna is extremely rare. Pure henna can be mixed with 100% natural plants and plant extracts to create a variety of natural hair shades.


Final Note
Apply these hair care protection, hair maintenance and style tips proven to stop hair breakage. By changing bad habits, you’ll enjoy healthy, radiant and beautiful hair.

Hair Breakage -6 Reasons and 6 Solutions- Part 1 of 2

Hair Breakage – Reasons and Solutions #1 to #3

 

Avoid fast food traps!

Hair Breakage – Reason #1
Unhealthy Diet

Do you nourish your body with healthy, protein-rich foods to ensure that you’re healthy enough to produce a healthy hair shaft? Or do you ‘survive’ on unhealthy and malnourishing fast foods? Do you drink enough water daily? Improper nutrition is a leading cause of preventable hair loss. It’s absolutely crucial to change to a healthier diet, if you suspect your hair loss is caused by poor eating habits.

Hair Breakage – Solution #1
Correct your Diet

Vegetables, fruits, protein sources and dairy, along with plenty of water will nourish your hair from within. The more natural state of the food, the better for your hair care. We have crucial need to feed our bodies regularly with wholesome food. In order to have healthy hair, skin and nails –a well-balanced diet is critical. Iron-rich, protein foods, as well as those containing Vitamin C, Vitamin B-6, B-12, Foliate and Zinc will do much to improve root condition.

A healthy diet should be the norm. Fast foods should be dramatically reduced or even eliminated. Drink plenty of water. Nourish your hair like you nourish your skin. This will help to keep your hair soft and lustrous. Hydrate for proper skin care and hair care.

Hair Breakage – Reason #2
Neglecting Regular Hair Maintenance

We will experience weak, damaged hair with a tendency to break and fall out –if we don’t take the time to properly care for it.

Hair Breakage – Solution #2
Stick to a Proper Hair Care Routine

If we establish a routine of hair maintenance, over time it becomes a very simple process. Gently shampooing and conditioning with natural products on a daily, weekly and monthly basis is an essential key to beautiful, healthy, growing hair. How often you wash your hair depends on the natural condition and texture of your hair. Generally it is recommended to wash your hair 2-3 times a week if your hair is normal with proper moisture balance. Wash hair daily if it is excessively oily and baby fine. If your hair texture is coarse, excessively dry or brittle, then wash it once a week (or even less). If you feel the need to wash your hair more often than recommended, try using a co-wash (conditioner-only wash).

Lock in moisture. Moisturizing hair care tip: use a light leave-in conditioner (daily if you have curly hair; rinse in cooler water to seal in moisture). For a DIY light homemade leave-in conditioner: simply add enough water to current conditioner, mix well, spray a little in your hand and rub through hair or spritz on hair with a spray bottle. An occasional hot-oil treatment restores moisture balance; adds suppleness to hair. Natural herbal oils such as extra-virgin olive oil, organic coconut oil, cold-pressed castor oil and flaxseed oil are known to help strengthen, regrow hair and to eliminate dandruff.

Hair Breakage – Reason #3
Split Ends and Lack of Proper Trimming

Thermal, chemical or mechanical stress can cause split ends. For example, the use of curling irons and other heat treatments may cause split ends. Excessive application of hair products such as perms and hair coloring may strip protective layering off the outside of the hair’s shaft and weaken the hair, making the hair prone to split ends. Mechanical stresses include pulling a comb forcefully through tangled hair and repeated combing.

Hair Breakage – Solution #3
Control Split Ends

If we establish a routine of hair maintenance, over time it becomes a very simple process and we can control split ends. Avoid excess heat, over-styling with chemical relaxers and hair dyes.

It’s best to have a professional hair stylist trim your hair using extremely sharp scissor. (Dull scissors can cause split ends.) Occasional light trimming of split ends should be included in our hair care routine. This will actually help grow our hair from roots to ends.About every 3 months, a tiny snipping is all that is really necessary, especially if we want to see visible hair growth results.

A word of caution about clipping split ends: If you want to grow longer hair, NEVER clip more than 1/8”-1/4” (inch) per month. If you do, you’ll literally be cutting away your new hair growth! The reason is that most hair grows about 1/2” (inch) per month, totaling six (6) inches a year. Do the math. This is totally within our control.
