Testimonials

"For the last 6 weeks or so, I have been using Dianna's Iduna salve. In the last few weeks I have actually gotten more than one complement on how I look. The reason? My skin on my face is ever so much tighter and younger looking, well, rejuvenated. The crater between my yes, on the bridge of my nose is slowly erasing. The creases around my mouth and nose are not as severe, and incredibly, my turkey neck is almost gone! I highly recommend this stuff. Smells so exotic. You rule Dianna!"

I am 78 years old. I tripped and fell face down. I caught myself with my arm, cracked my ribs, and injured my shoulder.

I used Caridwen for inflammation. What relief! The Caridwen took care of the inflammation so my shoulder healed much quicker.

Thank you Dee!

Dandruff can affect people in every age group. Dandruff can manifest as either very dry and flaky Scalp or very oily Scalp with flakes.

No Poo Shampoo Recipe

Though there are already plenty of instructables that cover this topic, I thought my list wouldn't be complete without including the simplest way to get clean, healthy Hair. No soap required!

No Poo Shampoo Ingredients:
1 tsp Baking soda
Apple cider vinegar
4 oz Water
Put 1 tsp baking soda in a cup or mug to take into the shower with you.
In another cup, pour about 1 oz (~1/8 cup) apple cider vinegar.
When you get into the shower, fill the baking soda cup with about 1/4 c water.
Apply this to your roots only; work it in and let it sit for a minute.
Then begin to gently scrub your Scalp, stimulating blood flow and cleaning out your pores.
This will actually stimulate Hair growth.
Lastly, scrub the back of your skull and your temples/sideBurns. This will result in less grease and more growth.
Rinse!
Follow by adding about 1/4 c water to your vinegar cup.
Pour the apple cider vinegar over the ends of your Hair, let it sit for a minute and then rinse it out.

No 'Poo Troubleshooting
There may be a transition period from two weeks to two months depending on the person. Here are a few tips:
If your Hair becomes frizzy, try using less baking soda or leaving it on for a shorter period of time. Adding honey may also help.
If your Hair becomes greasy, try using less apple cider vinegar, switching to lemon or lime juice, leaving out the honey, and/or using a comb instead of a brush. Also, make sure you're applying the apple cider vinegar just to the ends of your Hair.
If your Scalp itches, try the following essential oils; tea tree, lavender, rosemary. If your Hair becomes dry, try a tiny bit of oil (any oil, I use olive) smoothed on bottom of Hair.
Have fun and enjoy!]
