Top 5 Benefits of Lavender HERB Plant

Lavender is one of the most versatile herb plants that ever existed on earth. As such, it offers a host of health and wellness benefits for everyone. Included in this article are the top 5 benefits of the lavender herb plant that you may need to know. Lavender plants are easy to tend to and care for, given the right and proper planting, care, and soil conditions, lavender herb plants can easily thrive and survive in the tropical region. With its charming color and very pleasant scent, lavender does cater to all the senses. Just to stare at the beautiful lavender hue and your mind will wander off to some faraway land sans all the cares and worries of your life. Try to smell its flowers and leaves, and you will be swayed and lulled to slumberland. There is more to this lavender herb plant than what meets the eyes (and nose). Sad to say, not all people are that familiar with what a lavender plant is. They may know the scent that comes from it – as used in perfumes, oils, creams, and soaps, but they may not be familiar with the herb plant itself. Most people who live in the tropical region may think that the lavender herb plant can only grow in Europe or in places of high humidity.  But what exactly is a lavender plant, and what does it do beyond the beauty and charming presence that it has.

Lavender has the scientific name of Lavandula Angustifolia, with 47 known species, native to arid regions of Europe, and are known for their fragrant lavender flowers for ages. Their extracts are commonly used in perfumes and oils.  This herb plant enjoys hot, dry conditions but can tolerate a variety of growing conditions. A must for them will be well-drained soils as they are prone to root rot. They cannot tolerate overly wet conditions and they require good air circulation to grow healthy and properly. Regular pruning can also help to maintain its lush foliage.

The wonder of the lavender herb plant goes beyond its beauty and fragrance. This perennial herb has a lot of health and wellness benefits that anyone can enjoy. Below are the top 5 benefits of the lavender plant.

  1. Lavender can help you get a good night's sleep – With its fragrance that has soothing and relaxing properties, you can get one of the most luxurious and sought-after commodities on earth these days – SLEEP. The lavender herb plant can help relieve unwanted stress and tension headaches, helping you relax and wander off to slumberland in no time at all. It can also aid in relaxing tired and sore muscles. You can cut off some leaves, stems, and flowers, place them inside a cotton pouch and keep them at your bedside. You may also use products with lavender extracts mostly found in oils and creams and rub them in your head and temples. A nice vase filled with fresh lavender flowers or even dried cuts can also do the trick.
  2. It can perk up your meal and drinks - It is also an herb just like rosemary and thyme and they are edible. Pick up some good leaves or flowers and add them to your gourmet dishes, drinks, and salads. You can also drink them as tea which is packed with many healthy compounds that can boost your immune system and alleviate pain by reducing inflammation. A dash of lavender can add a spicy flavor to tea blends and lemonades. You can even use them in honey or butter in pancakes, toast, or in cookie recipes.
  3. Flowers, leaves and stems can freshen up your home - Dried lavender plus orange or lemon peels in a pot of boiling water can freshen the air inside your home. It can act as a natural deodorizer and air freshener (with its ever adorable and soothing fragrance). It is a perfect accent for any home spa. Tossing lavender sachets into the dryer can scent the laundry and you can also grind lavender buds and add them to baking soda for carpet deodorizer and freshener. A bag full of fresh or dried lavender flowers and leaves can also be placed or hung inside your dresser or closet to provide a healthy freshener.
  4. Lavender can help heal your minor skin problems - It has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties which are perfect for minor burns and bug bites. It can relieve the itching and swelling of insect bites and can take the sting out of bee stings and sunburns. Lavender can be used for wound wash as it provides good germ-fighting properties and can promote healing. Pick out some flowers, stems, and leaves, clean them up well, and dice them to get the extracts. You can also use some oils and creams with pure lavender extracts.
  5. It is good for the lungs - The lavender plant's soothing scent and anti-bacterial properties can help ease out inflammation of mucous in the respiratory system. It is proven to be a handy aid for bronchial asthma attacks. It can also serve as a good natural treatment for COPD. It can also aid in lowering blood pressure and retaining a normal heart rate.

The lavender herb plant never ceases to wonder when it comes to its health and wellness benefits. What’s even better is that they are natural, sustainable, and are readily available anytime that you need them. You can keep a pot or two in your garden, inside your home, or inside your bedroom. They will not only add beauty to any place, but they can also purify the senses. These lavender herb plants are beneficial to your mental health and physical wellness.





 What is the spiritual meaning of lavender?

Lavender herb plants have been around for centuries. They have been enjoyed and used by previous generations. The lavender plant goes beyond aesthetics as it represents purity, silence, devotion, serenity, grace, and calmness. Purple is the color of royalty and speaks of elegance, refinement, and luxury, too. The color is also associated with the crown chakra, which is the energy center associated with a higher purpose and spiritual connectivity.

Why do we need Oats in our Soap?


Why do we need Oats in our Soap?

Oats? Are you serious? This is what most of us would think.

Fact is, oats are not just meant for a delicious breakfast item. It is one ingredient that is very beneficial to the skin. It contains amazing properties which can nourish and care for our skin, in a very natural way. Thus, oats in our soap can give us the following benefits:

  • It can exfoliate the skin naturally
  • Naturally reduces oil from skin
  • Neutralizes odor
  • Treats acne
  • Erases dark circles
  • Moisturizes skin
  • Removes wrinkles
  • The natural scent imparts a calming effect
  • Lightens the skin tone naturally

What does Oats have that produces these benefits? It has compounds called saponins, which are natural cleansers. It also contains zinc that is known for reducing inflammation and has anti-bacterial action. Oats also has a very mild pH which can cool down the skin (that’s why it can also soothe sunburns).

Of course, all these things will not happen overnight. Regular use of an oatmeal soap will do the trick. Studies also show that any kind of irritation or itching that is due to dermatitis can be cured by using oatmeal soap regularly. It also helps in finding relief from sunburn. Apart from that, it also effectively conditions the irritated skin that arises due to exposure to poison ivy and eczema.

So the next time that you look at a bowl of oatmeal, remember that it is certainly one great beauty and skin care ingredient that can ease most of our skin problems away.

Have you ever tried using an oatmeal soap? Tell us about your experience. Will you recommend it to others? Feel free to write in the comments section.

The Shampoo Bar Story (Part 3)

The Shampoo Bar Story (Part 3)

Well, it's been more than a year now since I last posted in this blog page. There has been so many things (both good and bad) that happened in the background that I had to set aside writing, for the meantime. Although, deep in my heart, and in my sub-conscious head, something kept on nagging me to hit the keys again.



While I was away, this story went on. Over the past 8 months, a lot of local soap experts continuously, and painstakingly toiled, in coming up with the best variants for these Philippine-made shampoo bars. Competing with foreign brands is not easy (especially with the deeply ingrained CM for the local market). Although imported brands are priced higher, the market will still bite their "not so cheap" products out of the notion that they are still better than local brands.




What the market does not recognize however, is that they are missing out on these things:

1. We source out  raw ingredients locally, which makes these shampoo barsway much CHEAPER.
2. These locally-sourced raw ingredients like Aloe Vera, Moringa, Cacao, Coffee, Turmeric, Ginger, etc, can give you the best benefits possible, for your hair and scalp.
3. Supporting these small, local industries will boost our local economy as well. Something which we may be missing out on, big time.
4. Local industry, though most are still small (and struggling because of lack of support), know exactly what is  their market's specific needs (Asian's genetic make up is so different from Caucasians because of so many factors like the weather). 

Try to search for local producers and makers of these shampoo bars (not the big players or well-known brands, but the small, struggling entrepreneurs,  trying to curve their niche in this shampoo bar industry). We got a lot! A few, may not be focused on quality but on price at this time, but I am pretty sure that most of them do produce bars that can easily compete or even beat world-class brands.

YOU JUST GOT TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE!





Natural shampoo bars are here to stay. It is a booming local industry now (in case that you still don't know). Why? Because they are a very logical alternative to bottled shampoos. You help out your self, and you get to help the environment too. Plain and simple.

The next question to ask might be, have you ever tried using a shampoo bar yourself? If not, then why? You may let us know by placing a comment to this post. We can try to answer your queries or your concerns, the best way that we can.

For many people who have tried and are now happy with the results (as they are now enjoying a chemical-free hair care, with natural oils coming out of their scalp now), please feel free to post a comment as well.

In other words, in this third series of our story, we wanted to hear from you now. We hope that you can share some time with us here, in this blog post.






Much love,

Wonderful Sojourn

The Shampoo Bar Story Part 2 (FAQ's)



So you have actually made the switch and bought your first Shampoo Bar. You were so excited to use it, and then you wondered how to. After the first use, a lot of questions may pop up in your mind.

This article will try to cover most of your concerns, as much as we can. We simply thought that this type of information is something that you ought to know. This is actually the second part of our Shampoo Bar Story, and we will attempt to give an answer to all your possible questions about this topic.


What is a Shampoo Bar?

A Shampoo bar is just a solid form of the liquid shampoo that we know. This bar however, is made with all natural ingredients, and as such, it DOES NOT have any artificial fragrance, color, preservatives, detergents, alcohol, urea, formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), DEA, propylene glycol, and other chemicals. These are harmful ingredients that strip your hair of its NATURAL OILS, and it can really damage your hair and scalp. At times, these are the culprit behind your dry, itchy, and irritated scalp. It can also dry out your hair, and can lead to hair loss.


What are the benefits?

·         Increased volume, faster hair growth, reduced dandruff, shinier hair and a lot more.   
·         If you have curly hair, most people say they that they have more defined curls with better control.
·         Shampoo bars are generally good for all hair types and hair lengths (adjustment period may vary though for each person)
·         There are even brands which are formulated for permed and color treated hair.
·         Natural Shampoo bars are healthy and safe for every user  (even for daily use!)
·         It is eco-friendly since it does not contain any harmful chemicals
·         Highly economical because of its being compact and concentrated in form (results to higher number of usage compared to liquid shampoo).
·         Natural Shampoo bars are gentle (allowing you to retain color and moisture)
·         It reduces instances of scalp dryness.
·         It allows your hair to rebalance and produce the right amount of oils needed (something which is being stripped off by chemicals present in commercial shampoos).
·         They are also a perfect travel mate because they are so handy (without the bulky plastic bottles).
The process of making these bars are very similar to handcrafted natural soap, but the recipe and ingredient may be different. The essential oils plus the fruit and plant extracts are selected carefully to make sure that it will nourish your hair and scalp.


What can I expect to happen when I start to use the Shampoo Bar?

Since you have used conventional shampoos and conditioner for quite sometime,  this natural shampoo bar is something new to your hair and scalp. One good thing is that it will not strip hair like detergent based shampoos, and you may notice your hair feels different immediately after washing. This is what we call the "transition stage", or the period when the hair will adjust to the natural ingredients. These effects may vary from one person to another. Some people will just be okay while others may not.

Everyone's hair is unique, and the transition process will be a case to case basis. Your hair may feel greaser than normal, or it may even feel dryer than normal. It may feel waxy, coated or just weird.

This transition period (some people call them the "transitional purge" period), can last from a few days to a few weeks or even a month. This is literally a time for your hair, which has been addicted to chemical-laden shampoos, to go through a withdrawal stage.  Soon enough, it will eventually learn to live a chemical-free life. Remember, it may not be easy but it will pass! Patience and perseverance will be your key and your reward will be a healthy, soft and silky hair.




Do I still need to use hair conditioner when using this bar?

It depends on your preference.  Some can do away without one, others may feel the need to use a conditioner because they feel that their hair is dull, lacks luster, and dry.  Please remember though, that most  natural shampoo bars will not strip the natural oils from your hair. You just need to wait for your hair to fully adjust to the natural ingredients.

Because of the high concentration of oils in natural shampoo bars, the hair tends to have more of a waxy consistency, which can be gone after a couple of uses.

To avoid this, many bar shampoo users rinse with Apple Cider Vinegar to remove the coating and shine their hair. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) rinses can be very helpful in such cases as they are an excellent addition to any natural hair care routine and can help bring back body and shine to dull, lackluster hair.



What is an ACV Rinse?

Do you need to use an Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) rinse? It depends on a number of factors.

Your water: If your hair does not seem to be adjusting to the shampoo bars, it may be due to your water. Hard water makes it more difficult to rinse natural shampoo from your hair.

Hair length: Many of our male customers and women with short hair have found that they do not need to rinse with vinegar, simply because their hair is short.

Tangles: ACV rinses often help with tangles.

Residue: If your hair has residue from previous products or you regularly use conditioners, styling gels etc., our shampoo bars are mild and may not remove residue from your hair like detergent shampoos. ACV rinses help remove build-up and product residue.

Hair type: Everyone's hair is unique.



Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse (ACV Rinse)

Ingredients
2-4 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
16 oz cool water
1-2 drops lavender oil (optional)

Directions:
After shampooing and rinsing your hair, mix the apple cider vinegar, water, and essential oil (optional) in a plastic bottle. Leaning your head back, pour the rinse over your entire scalp, allowing the mixture to run through your hair. Be careful to avoid contact with your eyes. Let the mixture sit on your hair for 1-2 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly.

How to Use Your Natural Shampoo Bar?

You can either use the shampoo bar directly on your wet hair or, you can rub the bar in your hands and create the lather. After that, you can run your fingers through your hair while applying the lather.
It should be applied onto your hair from scalp to ends, in a combing motion.

Cover each section of your hair. Gently massage scalp and hair, adding more water as needed, until a good lather forms.

To prevent tangles, be sure to always work from the top down, don't pile your hair on your head and use your fingers like a comb, not a mixer.

With this method, it is very important that you really build up a good lather on your head so there are no patches of soap left on your hair.

Rinse thoroughly, and repeatedly, as much as you can.
Repeat if desired.



We have been receiving a lot of feedback lately from people telling us that their hair felt more dry when they used the shampoo bars. Other feedback however is different. They said that they felt that their dry hair had more moisture and many people who suffer from oily hair or scalp said their hair had changed to what they believed "normal" would be like. We all have different hair type and so the result of the products that we use will not exactly be the same.

When looking for a shampoo bar, keep an eye out for natural ingredients like shea, mango, cocoa and other nourishing butters, along with coconut, jojoba, avocado, argan and other moisturizing oils. 

Essential oils may be used to promote certain properties, such as rosemary and lavender for healthy hair growth, or chamomile to keep hair looking healthy and bright.

Please avoid buying and using surfactant shampoo bars, or any brand that contain SLS. Always stay away from shampoo bars that contain any type of sulfate, and you should also pay close attention to bars whose ingredient lists feature sodium hydroxide - it is an extremely strong alkali which has a higher pH level than your hair. The hair doesn't have an acid mantle (your skin does, though!) and  the difference in pH levels can cause your hair to become coarse, brittle and, overtime, heavily damaged.

These are 3 most common types of Shampoo Bars in the market right now:

Cold-pressed: the process of mixing fixed oils (like coconut) with an alkali (such as Lye) to achieve saponification, where the composition of the fixed oils changes. These soaps are often rich in nourishing fats (like oils and butters) and are often SLS-free. However, because of the oils and butters, many users like to rinse their hair with a clarifying product (such as an apple cider vinegar rinse) to prevent build up on the scalp.

Glycerin-based: glycerin is a natural byproduct of the soap making process, and soaps containing natural glycerin tend to be kinder on the hair and scalp due to their lower pH levels, which help to keep the peace with your hair's own pH levels; this is said to help hair and skin maintain moisture. 

Surfactant: soap containing a surfactant will often provide the most lather, because surfactants are a compound of detergents which cause bubbling or foaming (aka lather). Common surfactant soaps are those found at LUSH, for example, and often contain SLS. The main purpose of a surfactant soap is to remove the dirt, oil, and bacteria from your hair, and can be extremely drying/clarifying to the point where they can do more harm than good to the health of your hair. 



Choosing the right shampoo bar can be a result of trial and error; there is no one specific shampoo bar that will work for every hair type, nor are shampoo bars going to solve every hair issue or concern.

One piece of advise though, not all Natural Shampoo Bars are the same. Ingredients do matter as they are the ones that will give benefits to your hair. Do not be swayed by just the colors, scents, and the looks. Know what each bar is made of as that will tell you the real worth of every bar.

The Shampoo Bar Story



Certainly not a fairy tale, but the story behind these tiny bubbly pieces called Shampoo Bars traces back to some grand, old times. It started during the time when everything was handmade and they produce soaps through a process called "saponification". Those were the days where patience is still a virtue and "instant" and "ready-made" items are still unknown.
Fast forward to the recent years when everything comes handy-dandy, and everything that we need can now be bought easily from any 24/7 convenience store, or even from vending machines. It is usually a grab-and-go mentality and we forget that sometimes, this attitude and perception leads to ill consequences. The results shows the number of diseases plaguing the world today (a thing which didn’t even happen in the past), and the havoc being made to our environment and its innocent inhabitants. Videos are now being shown to prove this. Will you not be moved by such clips? I think that only the stone-heart and insensitive beings won't care about it.

This brings us to the big question. What are we doing to our planet?
Isn't it time for us to start asking ourselves what can we do, even in our own little way,  to help save what was left for us and for the next generation to come?



This is a challenge to all of us. The responsibility does not only lie on the shoulder of those with advocacy. They are not super heroes who can save the earth. They  need our help. It does not take a hefty amount of knowledge to understand the concept. It’s plain and simple. Consciousness and awareness are the key. The next step is to take action. How? By evaluating everything that we do, including the things that we use. Are we contributing to the trash that goes down the drain, and overflows to our rivers and oceans, each day?


Take a look at these points that I encountered from a blog called Unwrapped Life:
  • A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute and the number is projected to jump another 20% by 2021.
  • This equates to about 20,000 bottles being bought every second
  • More than 480 billion plastic drinking bottles were sold in 2016 across the world, up from about 300 billion a decade ago. If placed end to end, these bottles would extend more than halfway to the sun.
  • By 2021, annual plastic bottles sold are projected to increase to 583.3 billion.
  • Fewer than half of the bottles bought in 2016 were collected for recycling and just 7% of those collected were turned into new bottles. That means, approximately 93% of the 480 billion plastic water bottles sold in 2016 ended up in landfill or in the ocean.

You don’t need to be a genius nor a math wizard to understand the numbers above. These are just plastic bottles alone (what about the sachets, the other plastics used as packaging, and a lot more?)! There’s even a lot more and all of them are being dumped into our waterways, wreaking havoc to our dear mother earth.


These sentiments gave an anchor to the story behind the resurfacing of shampoo bars. Small as it may seem to some but, we are rallying behind its purpose. Consider the multiplying effect of saving one plastic bottle per consumer per day, and take it into consideration. We believe that this will matter a lot. Now, more than ever, is the time to make the switch. Go organic. Support those small, local entrepreneurs who are striving to make the change. Their vision is clear. By using locally sourced raw materials, using natural ingredients, veering away from chemical components, wrapping up their products in biodegradable, recyclable packaging only means one thing. They care for you and for the environment, more than the profits that they can generate from sales.


Let’s throw off the IDC attitude out of the window once and for all. Think! It’s not just for some people. It’s for all of us and for those who will come after us.

How to Choose the "Right" Kind of Natural Soap for your Skin


Choosing the "right soap" is quite tricky for some. It is a fact that not all the products are the same (in many aspects). Soaps are not an exception.  There are a lot of choices in the market, and you, as the consumer, should always be wise.  Do not be swayed by just price tags alone. QUALITY should be on the top of your list followed by SUITABILITY. The product and you should match, and you cannot compromise that.




This applies to your choice of skin care products. Remember, we can only have one set of skin and, it is irreplaceable. We have to be more conscious now of the stuff that we use for our skin. If you end up making the wrong choice, then regrets will surely follow. Unfortunately, it can be irreversible. What’s the most common staple in skin care that touches our skin daily? The most likely answer to this will be Soap. So, how can you pick the right kind of soap for yourself? You can do a checklist of the following:




      Skin Type – Our skin type varies. You should know your specific skin type as not all soaps will work for you. Soaps for Extra Dry Skin for example, will provide more oils which is definitely a no-no for those with Oily Skin and vice versa.


      Product Composition – Read the labels to know what the soap is made of. Ingredients do matter and that’s a fact. Natural soaps will always be a better alternative as it does not contain any chemicals which can harm our skin. Do not go just for the scent alone. You should be more conscious of each and every essential oil, extracts and fragrances that goes into each bar. Why? Because they should fit your needs and requirement. Kaolin Clay for example works best as a skin exfoliator and is therefore meant for acne-prone skin. Oats are designed to take care of sensitive skin and Guava is known to cure inflammation. Know your ingredients and match them with your specific needs.







      Go through a Trial Period – Buying the soap is not yet the end of the story. You still have to try them out. Like lotions or oils, you can do a skin patch test with soap. You can rub them on your arm or other parts of your body like your leg to see if there will be any adverse reaction. If the soap does not have any harmful or toxic ingredients, like soaps made from natural ingredients, the skin will yield to a favorable response. Given that, it will still be wise to try it out first to know if they will work for you or not. It is advisable for you to continue using the soap for at least a week, because natural ingredients’ benefits usually take effect over a certain period of time. Activated charcoal for example, will act like a magnet pulling all the excess oil, dirt and grime from your pores during the initial usage. Thus, it will be very likely for you to have breakouts. After continued usage however, once the pores are clear and clean, they will close down, and soon enough, you will have clearer skin.




      Maintenance – Once you’ve found the “right” soap for your skin, stick to using that. This will be short of saying that not unless that there’s a highly compelling reason for you to switch to another kind, then please don’t. It is already your match and it is working fine for you so cherish that. Not everyone can be as lucky as you.



You may need to evaluate the current skin care products that you are using, especially your soap
      (yes, the soap that you are rubbing on your face and body each day). Is it working for you? 
      
      Do you have clear skin which is FREE from breakouts? Or, do you have PATCHES of DRY SKIN all over your face. Touch your skin. Only you can do an honest evaluation of your current skin condition. 




HEALTHY Skin is free from any Acne, Blemishes, No Dry Patches. It is smooth, clear, and glowing. If your current skin is not like that then it’s high time for you to look for another brand. If you are using commercial brands, then most likely that the culprit will be the chemicals mixed into those brands. The most logical alternative will be skin care products made from natural ingredients. Be wary though, as there are also natural soaps which uses run-of-the mill ingredients (reason why they can offer them at a cheaper price).




      These 4 points can be very helpful especially for those who are still desperately hunting down for the best soap for their skin. No need to fret and worry for we are sure that you can also find your match!
