Oil Cleansing
Here is a health tip I have been practicing for quite some time, with positive results. First thing in the morning, I use a tongue scraper. Then I take a mouthful of good quality organic olive oil or sunflower oil and swish it and hold it in my mouth for 30 to 45 minutes, then spit it out. Next I brush my teeth very well. This is called oil cleansing and helps remove toxins from your mouth and body. I was told of this remedy by a couple of reliable sources and it works for me. Try it if you like. Oh, and be sure to floss regularly! Flossing is the single most important action we can take to help prevent bone loss, gum disease, and decay. That's what my dentist says!

Dear Judy,
ReplyDeleteyou really hold the oil in your mouth for 30 minutes? I thought about 1 minute? But thank you for this idea, I used to do it 20 years ago, then I forgot about it....
Dear classmates too,
it is a long time ago I wrote to you, now, at the moment I'm ll, and I feel good when I just can lay down.
In July I had a hard time and exactly when my holidays started I got a tinnitus (is this the same word?). The first time I didn't like to talk about it, and I thought, I'm not really the type for this "disease", in my case it started with very loud music (we play the drums in a group), but I think that is not all.
After a while, when I talked to my sound in my head, appeared a sentence, like: "Don't make so much stress!". But not only "don't do it", it was more like "you are not allowed to produce your one stress, or better "you should live your life in a better way than being stressed."
So, at first I had to find out what is selfmade stress and what is just life. And I found out that a lot was selfmade, much more than I thought before.
And since this experience in august I play this game: "Can I change my behavior or my way of thinking or is it simple what it is."
The next step was, that I found out that even when I thought that it is just life, it must not mean that I have a permission to feel stressed. I often remembered our sentence: "Just notice!"
It is always my decision to be stressed or not, and there is so much to learn every day, every talk, always.
So I want to learn to stay more in my center (Sternzeichen libra?!), in my real center. That 's my "homework" at the moment, every day and the angels are with me, that feels good.
I think of you and I wish us all a wonderful, relaxed Christmas time!
I'll stay in Hamburg with Marc, my sister and her husband, that is always so relaxed.
Love to all and a big open heart,
Antje
Dear Antje,
ReplyDeleteYes, at least 30 minutes for the oil! I wrote you a longer reply here, but it was not accepted here, because it was too long, so I will post it as a separate post!
