We are here to help

I realize I have not wrote anything in a while. Maybe the crazy business has kept me almost with a writer’s block on exactly what to write. Or maybe I have been working with so many different things that I just really can’t think of what to write about. Nevertheless, I am here and I hoping my Heavenly Father will lead me on what He want’s this one to be about.

I have been doing tons of research on different essential oil blends for so many different problems. At times it almost sends my head into an overwhelming spin. There is o much information to try to retain and put into action.

I don’t know about others but for me, I don’t just take one person’s word on the benefits of something, but I look deeper into it to see if many agree with the information. I have several Naturopathic Doctors that I trust their knowledge and experience along with several others that have done extensive research on the topic. These days there is website of research on almost everything you can think of.

But on to what I want to talk about…

Almost everything we carry was developed with someone particular in mind. See, I feel that is my calling, my gift. Helping others, that is what we love. It brings us great joy to know that one of our products has made someone else’s life just a little brighter.

We believe God has put on this earth everything we need naturally without chemicals and we just have learn to use it they way He intended. So many of those manmade treatments do more harm that good. Natural healing is honestly right at our fingertips but the key to it all is having faith and trust in God and listening to the Holy Spirit to direct you path. And we feel that God has put us here to help those in need.

We do our best to try to make our prices as affordable as possible to our customers, unfortunately natural can be expensive. We have been asked why something is so expensive so many times. And as we explain to them, unlike manmade chemical products where they can make all they need or want at any given time, natural is just that, natural and it takes time for it to grow to reediness. For example, it takes approximately three pounds of lavender to make just 15ml of essential oils, it takes 242,000 rose petals to make 5ml of rose oil. That is a lot of plants… And if you consider the growing time it’s take time and the kindness of mother nature to get a crop. This is the same with everything else. Many essentials the source takes years before you with reap a harvest.

So, to those of you reading this and are looking for some help, some hope, a light at the end of the tunnel, we would love to opportunity to provide that. If you don’t see what you are needing, or it just seems way to overwhelming to figure it all out. We are here to help. Please contact us.

Magnesium is one of the most important elements God put on our planet and in our body!

Do you realize 4 out of every 5 Americans are magnesium deficient. Most of us don’t even realize how important magnesium is to our body and organs. Not only is it important itself but it is also very vital in helping our body absorb calcium.

This wonderful element on our planet, magnesium is also present in every organ in the human body. In fact, it’s considered a vital mineral for over 300 biochemical reactions that regulate our health and wellness. But unfortunately, many of us simply don’t get enough magnesium in our bodies to the point that we unknowingly suffer from a magnesium deficiency. 

In a report by the World Health Organization, it was found that intake levels of magnesium are varied in people all over the world, and that less than 60 percent of adult men and women in the U.S. met the “Adequate Intake” (AI) values for magnesium. Frankly, we also aren’t getting as much in our diets thanks to water filtering and decreased minerals in the soil because of pesticide use and over-farming.

Therefore, while it’s also found in unfiltered drinking water, it’s key to consume magnesium-rich foods like dairy products, vegetables, grain, fruit and nuts. And another key way of getting more magnesium in your body? Magnesium oil.

It’s a wonderful home remedy for a number of daily ailments, magnesium most notably has been credited with decreasing stress, sustaining a sense of well-being and improving sleep. Lately, studies have shown that magnesium can also boost performance levels, improve skin quality, and even help hypertension and diabetes.

Background of Magnesium Oil

Magnesium ions in the body are most commonly found in bones, but are also important elements in enzymes that help break down the food we eat into energy. Magnesium is a helper in so many different bodily processes, sometimes it is the key to unlocking the benefits in therapies and remedies that don’t seem to be working.

Magnesium has a role in the synthesis of essential molecules like DNA, RNA and proteins. In bones, cell membranes and chromosomes, magnesium makes up a large portion of the structural base. Magnesium also plays a large part in nutrient reactions and interactions, helping achieve absorption and balance in the body.

It’s important to note that magnesium is key to calcium absorption. These two work in a very special relationship with each other in the body, for if you have a calcium deficiency or imbalance, then you also may have a magnesium deficiency. Often, a magnesium deficiency can be a precursor to later calcium issues, because of this affect on calcium uptake! This relationship is why calcium food sources are the most effective when eaten with magnesium-rich foods.

Magnesium deficiency has a number of negative affects and has been linked to:

ü  Hypertension and cardiovascular disease

ü  Coronary Heart Disease

ü  Metabolic Syndrome

ü  Stroke

ü  Osteoporosis

ü  Decreased insulin sensitivity

ü  Asthma

ü  Migraines and headaches

ü  Inflammation

ü  Issues with the inner lining of blood vessels (endothelial dysfunction)

ü  Impairment of exercise performance

ü  Gastrointestinal issues

Magnesium Oil 4 oz Spray

Magnesium Oil

Ancient people these so-called ancient minerals for topical and transdermal therapies for centuries, with little knowledge of the science behind the process. These included mineral baths, herbal compresses, mud packs, and steam and sweat lodges.

We know now how beneficial transdermal therapies can be in healing and wellness. In this case, transdermal application of magnesium helps to prevent side effects and can work more quickly and effectively.

It has been found that magnesium, despite being available in many dietary sources, is not best absorbed orally. Magnesium taken orally is affected by a number of elements in your gut, and can also act as a laxative, which reduces the amount of time the mineral can be absorbed in the body.

Injections of magnesium are commonly used for heart attacks and strokes, but the best way to regularly increase levels is using magnesium in a transdermal fashion. Some health experts have begun calling topical magnesium application, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (TMT).

In a magnesium study in Spring 2010, patients using transdermal magnesium therapy saw increases in their cellular magnesium levels after 12 weeks of using magnesium sprays and soaks. The average increase over 12 weeks was 25.2 percent, which I consider very impressive.

The RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) of magnesium is about 300 milligrams daily, but the Office of Dietary Supplements recommends optimum levels are 400–420 milligrams for men and 310–320 milligrams for women daily. Our current diets are providing on average, less than 250 milligrams per day. Use of magnesium oil to supplement this deficiency is the easiest and most effective way.

7 Magnesium Oil Benefits

1. Sports performance and workout recovery

Athletes need adequate magnesium levels to perform at their best. Magnesium studies have shown that exercise redistributes magnesium throughout the body and can negatively affect physical performance. Athletes like gymnasts and wrestlers that rely on weight control may be the most affected.

Magnesium-deficient individuals can find beneficial effects on their exercise performance when magnesium supplements are introduced. Magnesium oil is also a natural muscle relaxant and applications to sore muscles and joints can also provide pain and ache relief.

2. Migraine Relief

Migraine sufferers have lower levels of intracellular magnesium during acute migraine attacks. Low levels of magnesium affect a number of related receptors and neurotransmitters that cause migraine headaches. Studies have also shown that regular magnesium supplementation can reduce the frequency of migraines.

3. Skin care

In studies regarding magnesium oil uses, magnesium has been shown to break apart different fats and oils and, therefore, can help aid in reducing skin oiliness. Magnesium benefits also include its stress-relieving abilities, which can help to reduce stress-related skin irritations such as acne and rosacea.

4. Regulating diabetes

Poorly controlled diabetes results in a large excretion of glucose in urine, which in turn, depletes magnesium levels and has major implications in insulin resistance. Proper magnesium levels are incredibly important in diabetes patients, as insulin resistance can result in major problems in trying to control diabetes mellitus

5. Regulating hypertension

Magnesium supplementation has been shown to offer slight decreases in blood pressure in patients suffering from hypertension. There are a number of additional factors that affect blood pressure in these individuals, but the studies concluded magnesium supplementation lowers blood pressure. 

6. Stress relief and general well-being

Magnesium has long been known for its ability to relieve stress, as it is typically wasted via urine in times of duress. It aids in helping a number of neurological and physiological processes when the body is under stress, so maintaining sufficient levels will help to balance hormones naturally.

7. Sleep improvement

Magnesium works as a natural muscle relaxant, which is why many people swear by it to help with sleep issues. Magnesium helps you sleep because of its ability mineral to relax GABA receptors in the brain and nervous system, which helps promote a “slow down” you need in order to sleep.

Magnesium supplementation has also been shown to provide benefits, such as:

ü  Care to prevent seizures for pregnant women with preeclampsia or eclampsia

ü  Protection against brain damage in premature infants

ü  Help with morning sickness in pregnant women

ü  Hormone balancing

ü  Reducing symptoms of PMS

ü  Help prevent osteoporosis

How to Use Magnesium Oil

It’s recommended that once your start using magnesium oil that you continue to do so daily, applying more as you feel comfortable. It can take time to drastically increase magnesium levels, so it’s important to stick with regular applications. Keep track of your well-being and ailments prior to starting your regular applications to see how magnesium is affecting you and whether you need to change your dosage.

Spray: Spraying magnesium oil directly on the skin is the most common application of the mineral. It’s best to apply after a shower, when the skin is clear of lotions or other oils. After spraying, magnesium oil should be thoroughly rubbed in and left to absorb for about 30 minutes. Depending on your preference, you can shower or wipe down to eliminate any residue.

The first few times applying magnesium spray may result in some uncomfortable tingling. This sensation should dissipate the longer you use it.

Massage: Massage promotes blood flow and will ultimately maximize the absorption of magnesium oil. Magnesium oil is used by the body primarily in the area of application, so muscle cramps and soreness can be alleviated using massage and magnesium oil as treatment.

Sports Rub: Essential oils like wintergreen oil  (which we have available as well) can be added to magnesium oil to create a more potent massage oil for sports massages.

Bath: Some users say direct application of magnesium oil can create a tingling or stinging sensation they do not enjoy, so soaking in magnesium chloride diluted in a hot bath can be a great alternative. Using essential oils to add a pleasing scent is also common.

Foot Soaks: Similar to a bath, soaking feet or legs in warm water with magnesium chloride can help provide benefits to specific areas.

Deodorant: Mineral salts have been used for many years as a natural odor blocker. Magnesium oil will work as a non-toxic deodorant too. Be sure not to apply magnesium oil to freshly-shaven skin, as it will cause irritation.

What do you really "WANT" and "DON'T WANT" in your hair care products? And are you doing more damage than good?

Store bought shampoo is mostly comprised of water and sulfates. While different shampoos use different types of sulfates even your professional shampoos have to use sulfate (instead of being completely sulfate free) they say it’s to create that suds effect, it is critically important which sulfate is listed in your ingredients and what that means to you. Did you know there is a sulfate listed as an ingredient in a lot of generic shampoos that is known to have traces of 1.4 dioxane, an irritant and probable carcinogen? In fact, in California, 1.4 dioxane is classified as a known cancer-causing agent and any product with traces of it needs to be labeled with a warning by law. California seems to be making good on that promise, having sued several companies who weren’t properly labeling their products back in 2008. But California is just one state and still, this ingredient hasn’t been banned but simply unveiled for consumers to merely see. This sulfate which contains dioxane- sodium lauryl ether sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate- is an ingredient in shampoos such as Tresemme, Herbal Essences and Pantene Pro-V. And it’s in the top three ingredients in most of these generic shampoos. Am I saying that grocery store brands of shampoo will give you cancer? Definitely not. And do all shampoos have chemicals or ingredients that could affect you? Probably. But the point I’m making is that exposing yourself to something that could hurt your health to any degree is absolutely not worth the few extra dollars saved for anyone. Somewhere between the generic shampoos which do much more harm than good and are full of chemicals and the expensive, organic shampoos You will find our shampoo and conditioner. Even though our shampoo and conditioner is 100% natural, organic products we don't expect you to pay that unreal price.

Long story short, you have hair follicles in your head that your hair strands grow out of. In those follicles are glands that produce a natural sebum or oil that naturally cleanses your hair. These oils cleanse your scalp, hydrate your roots, and travel all the way to your ends through hair-brushing to moisturize and add shine. When the sebaceous gland is allowed to secrete oils for a couple days at a time, it can properly do it’s job. But when it is washed out everyday (whether by store bought shampoo or salon professional), you’ll run into a couple problems. The first is that you will constantly be washing out these oils before they can effectively do their job, meaning you are never getting the natural benefits your body wants to produce. The second is that by replacing your “natural cleanser” with your shampoo, you are creating the perfect formula for greasy roots. You should be allowing your sebaceous gland to build up and only using your shampoo to wash out that particular build up. By not doing so, you are not allowing your sebaceous gland to secrete anything at any point and relying on your shampoo to do the deep cleaning, which it isn’t made to do. So you walk around with greasy roots, dull ends that never see natural moisture, and a huge bummer of a problem. I recommend to all of my customers that they wash their hair about every other day. And be sure to note that when switching your routine in this way, it will take anywhere from 6 weeks to 2 months to fully adjust. And it’s also important to note that different hair types take to this routine differently. Ladies with curly, coarse hair can go longer than those of us with finer, wispier strands. But the important thing is that you are giving your locks enough time in between washing to naturally cleanse and hydrate, whatever that timing ends up being for you.

Shampoo is meant to remove dirt, sebum (a.k.a. oils), and product buildup from your hair. But there are dozens of different brands to choose from, and even more types within those brands. 

The same goes for conditioners. Conditioners are meant to add shine, protect hair from drying out and allow for easier combing. Here, we run down the best shampoos and conditioners for four different hair types. Coarse, curly hair Curly hair is almost always dry hair and here's why: Oils produced in the scalp don't travel as easily down the hair shaft as they do with straight hair.

You need a shampoo that softens hair while minimizing frizz. We've found creamy, moisturizing shampoos work best for this hair texture. Look for wheat germ oil, jojoba oil, nut oils (almond and coconut, for example), as well as natural vegetable oils in your shampoos. Natural plant oils also work for deep hydration. These tend to coat the hair shaft, trapping water inside. 

Conditioners: More than any other hair type, women with coarse, curly hair must condition every time they shampoo. Look for an ultra-moisturizing conditioner made especially for coarse hair. Once a month use a hot oil treatment we recommend our organic coconut oil. Just be careful with those store bought hot oil treatments. Most of them contain chemicals that are not healthy for your hair.. For extra-dry hair, use an intense moisturizing treatment every 2 weeks.

The key is to pick a product that works great, doesn't damage, and is affordable. Correct? Red Dirt Soap Company Natural Shampoo and Conditioner is just what you need.

Extra tip: Curly hair should not be washed every day. You'll only dehydrate hair and make it more frizzy and unmanageable. Another alternative to shampoo washing's is to rinse the hair with water and then follow with a conditioner. Also, lay off the blow dryer (they tend to dry out hair even more) and let curls dry naturally. Fine, oily, or limp hair Fine hair is most susceptible to looking 'oily' and can get this way after only one day. You want a gentle shampoo marked for daily or frequent washing. The secret fine hair shampoo lies in a body-building ingredient called panthenol. Hair experts swear that panthenol penetrates the hair cuticle making each strand thicker.

Conditioners: Not all limp-haired ladies need conditioners. If you find you can easily comb out hair after washing's without a conditioner you can skip it. Conditioners are good for combing out fine hair. Massage a light-weight conditioner from mid-shaft down and no need to leave it on for long. If you have extremely greasy hair, look for the oil-absorbing tea-tree oil in your conditioner.

Colored or chemically-treated hair your goal is to reinforce weak areas in the hair shaft that naturally comes from coloring, straightening, relaxing or perming hair. Look for protein-based shampoos with ingredients such as wheat and soy oils unfortunately, overly processed hair can suffer from oily roots but dry shaft and ends. Therefore, washing processed hair can be tricky business. You want to cleanse the roots while moisturizing the ends. We suggest washing hair every other day with a shampoo made for normal hair. Concentrate on cleaning the scalp. Then use a strong conditioner only on the mid-shaft to ends of hair. Here are other shampoo tips for the following processed hair types:

Colored. Hair experts swear color-protection shampoos contain gentle cleansers and ingredients that preserve color. Other experts suggest shampoos for color-treated hair are just another way for companies to make money off you. With our hair care products you will not find any harsh chemicals to damage your already brittle hair. We say: Whatever works for you.

Permed or relaxed. Any moisturizing shampoo will work for your hair type but apply it only to roots and rub it in well. Then apply a quick burst of water. While the water is running down the hair shaft, massage hair to remove any dirt and grime. Rinse well. You don't want to skip the conditioner. Make sure to keep conditioner from the roots.

Conditioners: Look for a rich conditioner to be used primarily on the ends of your hair. Avoid conditioners that contain silicone, since they tend to strip color.

Extra tip for processed hair: Wash your hair only every few days to prevent drying out.

Look for natural plant, nut, and vegetable oils with keratin and collagen to help restore the moisture balance to your hair.

How safe is your wart removers? Or are you doing more harm than good?

I think almost everyone has a wart at one point in their life. And unfortunately some get many of them and/or get them quite often. But the question is how do you get rid of it? And it is amazing some of the things people will put themselves through to get rid of them. I've heard of people cutting them off (OUCH) major scar, burning them off (DON"T THINK SO) burns hurt, I don't care who you are, plus another scar, freezing them off (BURRR) damages every single layer of your skin, even the tissue below it, and them the old common treatment Compound W that has been around for decades. Everybody has heard of them, they now have several forms of removal. And none of these kills the roots, that's why the commonly come back.

But what is in this? What does it do? Does it work? Well general ingredients in Compound W is Active Ingredients: Salicylic Acid (17% w/w) (Wart remover) Only 17% of the "active" ingredient??? Humm usually your active ingredients would be the one of the largest volume but guess not in this case.  Inactive Ingredients: Alcohol (67.5%) (v/v), Camphor, Castor (Ricinus Communis) Seed Oil, Collodian, Silicon Dioxide, Hydroxypropyl Cellulose, Hypophosphorous Acid, Polysorbate 80. Well, we all know how I feel about alcohol. And this stuff is 67.5%. WOW! Followed by a few other interesting ingredients until you get to a few interesting ones. Like Collodian, and according to the FDA prolong contact to the skin can cause up to 3 degree burns. HUMM OK?? Then another one I found interesting is Hypophosphorous Acid, which has been shows to eat through hard plastics in less than 10 minutes. HOLY MOLY! And people put this on their skin? No wonder your skin becomes very sore after a couple times of use. And what does it do you ask? Well it eats/burns off the wart. Just like most of the other wart removal products on the market. It can be very painful but at best is very uncomfortable.
