Skin problems? – Donkey Milk Soap

September 9, 2016 by Jurgen

Try pure Donkey milk and vegetable soap for skin problems.

The milk used to make these soaps comes from female donkeys 2-3 times a week, they are not pushed to produce maximum milk. Their feed couldn’t be more simple: Rich grass and hay and additional rations of oats, alfalfa, corn and barley.

All donkey milk soaps are plant based and are enriched with shea butter.
Fragrances are created from pure essential oils and fruit extracts.
Any dyes are made from plants, minerals or algae.
The wrapping paper is fully recycled.

USES: Ageing of skin, skin protection, chronic skin problems such as psoriasis, neurodermatitis, eczema, skin allergies and acne.

HOW IT WORKS: The dermatological virtues of donkey milk soap are due to the properties of the different components of donkey’s milk:

Protein has a moisturizing effect. It is capable of improving the binding and viscosity of the skin and it has emulsifying and foaming properties.
The soluble proteins have a tightening effect, erasing wrinkles and maintaining the pH level of the skin.
The glycoproteins involved are moisturising and maintaining the structure of the extra-cellular matrix of the skin.
Lactoferrin plays a role in the prevention of skin ageing and protection against the sun.
The lactoperoxidase with its antibacterial activity are effective on oily skin prone to acne.
Whey is recommended as a moisturising agent.
Unsaturated fatty acids are involved in the formation and maintenance of cell membranes (Cotte, 1991).

Donkey milk soap helps to decrease itchiness and inflammation. Donkey milk soap has great healing effects on the skin just after a couple of weeks.

Wheatgrass Powder

July 8, 2016 by Jurgen

Wheatgrass is extracted from the sprouts of hard red winter wheat harvested at the stage immediately prior to the appearance of the first true jointing of the plant stem as it grows from seed. Wheatgrass can be traced back in history over 5000 years, to ancient Egypt and perhaps even early Mesopotamian civilizations.

A primary ingredient in wheatgrass is chlorophyll that gives the juice its distinctively green appearance. It not only possesses chlorophyll, but, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. Wheatgrass is a complete protein in that it contains all amino acids.

Wheat, or its ‘relatives’ means any kernel belonging to the ‘wheat’ family, is the only seed known to have the ability to take up 90 or more minerals during its life cycle in its germination process — which is in effect, close to all known minerals. This means that if grown with availability of nutrients, in the proper environment, wheatgrass will be very nutrient dense due to its incredible genetic design.

Wheatgrass is a complete food and is commonly referred to as the “king” of land vegetation.

Wheatgrass juice / powder is extracted from wheatgrass sprouts, before the wheat seed begins to form, therefor it is gluten-free. Add it to your favourite smoothie, water or fruit juice to make an alkalising health drink.

Luffa is a genus of tropical and subtropical vines in the cucumber family. Medicinally Luffa is used for: Hay fever, Allergic Rhinitis, other airborne allergies (animal fur, feathers, perfume, etc.)

Hay fever is an allergic reaction to pollen; especially grass pollen, which causes sneezing, a runny nose and red streaming eyes. It is a condition, which is often inherited with other allergic conditions such as eczema and asthma.

The homeopathic form of Luffa plays a great role in many cases of sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, migraine, bronchial asthma and hayfever. In the year 1963, Schwabe conducted a study on Luffa operculata. They have done more experiments and have also published a book – Luffa Operculata in Bronchial Asthma.

Luffa Complex is recommended for allergic conditions and hay fever. The symptoms of sneezing, itching in the nose, throat and eyes, asthma and coughs are improved through the synergistic action of individual components used in Luffa Complex. A.Vogel’s Luffa Complex is called Pollinosan.
