Want to learn about Essential Oils? Want to know how to use them and what to use them for?

The best thing about Geranium essential oil is that it can be used for so many things, and suits everyone. Women in particular will love Geranium for its beauty-enhancing and balancing properties.

 

Geranium Essential Oil = Uses In Aromatherapy

The oil possesses potent astringent, antiseptic, antifungal and diuretic properties, which makes it an effective remedy for urinary tract infections, sore throat, oral ulcers and yeast infections.

Geranium’s most common and widespread use is in the realm of skin care and grooming. It can nourish dry skin, relieve itchy scalp conditions and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. Many people like to use Geranium essential oil as a room freshener because of its delightful fragrance.

Geranium is both analgesic and antispasmodic.  It can provide relief from nerve disorders such as neuralgia and rheumatic arthritis.  It is also helpful in treating chronic anxiety and nervousness.

A natural phlebotonic, Geranium can also relieve haemorrohoids, varicose veins and excessive menstrual bleeding. Its effects on infertility and menopausal symptoms make it a particularly useful oil for women.

Geranium  Essential Oil = Weight Loss, Cellulite And Water Retention

A natural diuretic, Geranium essential oil stimulates the lymphatic system and aids elimination of excess water from the body.  It is  helpful in minimizing cellulite and edema of the ankles.

Geranium Essential Oil = Skin Care

Geranium oil has excellent cytophylactic and hemostatic properties which speed up the healing of wounds, burns and bruises.

As an effective anti-inflammatory, Geranium has also found use in the management of eczema, psoriasis and acne. The oil is specifically recommended for dry, oily or combination skin because of its astringent properties. It balances the production of serum and helps prevent skin breakouts.

Geranium Essential Oil = Inner Peace And Happiness

Geranium oil has a regulating effect on the nervous system and can help dispel depression, nervous anxiety and fear. Its scent is positive and uplifting, which instantly calms the mind and restores emotional balance. This is why it is indicated for both acute and chronic anxiety. Workaholic people who have lost touch with their inner self will find this oil very useful as it stabilizes the mind and enhances sensory perception and imagination.

Geranium Essential Oil For Hormonal Balance

Geranium oil is a tonic for the adrenal cortex which regulates the release of hormones. The oil helps maintain hormonal balance specifically in cases of puberty, premenstrual phases, menopause, sterility and menstrual irregularities.  It also provides relief from symptoms of PMS such as fluid retention and breast engorgement.

As a supporter of the adrenal system, it is especially helpful in managing chronic exhaustion and fatigue. Since hormones have a direct effect on our moods, Geranium can effectively combat depression, nervousness and weariness which are usually symptoms of hormonal imbalance.

How To Use Geranium Essential Oil

Since Geranium oil is non-toxic and hypoallergenic, it can be used by anyone.  You can choose just about any therapeutic method to enjoy the benefits of Geranium, including diffusers, bath, compresses, direct inhalation and massage.  Here are some recipes to try:

• For instant relief from depression, anxiety, exhaustion or moodiness, add 5 drops each of  Geranium and Bergamot oil to your bath water. This recipe is also great for PMS.
• For a restorative, balancing massage, combine 2 drops each of Geranium, Lavender and Rose essential oil with 1 tablespoon of carrier oil.

Acne + Bacteria. Resolve pesky pimples it at any age!

How cleaning up internal and external bacteria, avoiding antibiotics,  and adding the right supplementation can help clear up acne.

For some time, society has been addicted to the use of antibiotics as a "be all" fix for an array of health complications, infections, and - ACNE.  I've done my share of facials as an aesthetician, which helped me formulate the Kasia Skin Care line to serve all skin types - but a main goal with this lie was to decrease inflammation and inner chaos in the dermis.  This serves the need of anti-aging benefits, as well as the direct relation to acne.  Our Kasia Lavendaire Melablend Essentail Oil is a great spot treatment for bacterial acne - and can be used directly on the skin.

Acne has many "roots," but it's often a bacterial problem. 

Let's dig in a bit more .......

I am not a fan of antibiotics. They destroy the intestinal flora, weaken our overall immune system, never quite kill all the bacteria.  Antibiotics will also increase your chances of getting the infection back - times 4 - only worse.

For many that go to the dermatologist (they are well respected and needed), they lack the hindsight in tracking the cause back to a  previous round of antibiotics, therefore resulting in an even stronger one, continuing the downward spiral.

Hospitals are proven to be a dangerous example of this by breeding ever stronger, antibiotic-resistant bacterias to the patient. If you've done any recent antibiotics, or within the last year, I suggest taking the Premier Research Lab's Probiotic Caps for 2 months to reinstall friendly flora in your intestines.

Breaking Free of Acne

Do you suffer from acne?  Is your teenage child battling the pimple?  Here are a few suggestions that can reset biochemistry, and return your skin and body back to homeostasis!

1) Clean up the diet - clean up the gut.  Concentrate on removing sugars, carbs, grains, and high glycemic index foods.  This will assist in low grade infections, bacteria growth, and candida.  Do this for 4 straight months.

Suggested Supplements:

Allicidin, HCL and D3. (Note dosage based on age and weight).

For teenagers:  HCL and Adaptogens are not necessary. Instead, one tsp/day of the Pink Salt is crucial. This helps kids' natural production of HCL, so the food gets digested. Rotting food is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. For kids, 6 Allicidin per day, 3 drops of D3, and the Pink Salt.

2) Use the Kasia Renew AHA + Vitamin C Exfoliating Cleanser.  Perfect for acne-prone skin, the cleanser reduces breakout-causing bacteria, clears clogged pores and fades post-breakout marks for a smooth, even skin tone.

3) Eat an acne-free diet. Eliminate ALL dairy from your diet. This includes milk, cheese, ice cream, pizza, yogurt, butter, etc. This does not get digested, clogs up the body's elimination channels and contributes greatly to acne.  Eliminate all sugar and artificial sweeteners. Sugar feeds bacteria.

 Kasia Skin Care is VOID of harsh chemicals, fragrances and synthetic ingredients in most commercial products can cause irritation, inflammation and dehydration that can actually contribute to, or worsen, the symptoms of aging (fine line, wrinkles, age spots and dull, lifeless skin).  Hydrated, balanced, healthy and  nutritioned skin should appear beautiful, radiant, clear and glowing. Kasia will help nourish the skin back to health.

The Power of Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a true super food. It provides a potent supply of potassium, zinc, vitamins and beta-carotene. When applied to the skin it delivers antioxidants, vitamins, and naturally occurring enzymes and alpha-hydroxy acids, which makes it a powerhouse ingredient in our facial services.

A little known fact: pumpkin contains the highest content of naturally occurring vitamin A and beta-carotene versus other fruits. It also contains high doses of vitamin C, B1, B2, B5 and E.  Because of its high antioxidant and vitamin count  - it helps remove toxins trapped deep in the pores and neutralizes free radicals.

Pumpkin is often referred to as nature’s “natural collagen,” because it promotes cell turnover and regeneration.

Autumn Skin Care Tips: Renew & Recover

 

Slough off the old, and bring on the new! To start the fall season with refreshed skin, slough off the summer residue to start the fall season with refreshed skin.  1.)  Treat yourself to at least one good facial treatment to start the season polished and smooth.  2.) Maintain the benefits by doing a gentle exfoliation on a weekly basis with Kasia ReNew AHA + Vitamin C Cleanser.

Moisturize! As we exfoliate, the skin needs the nourishment put back in.  A basic moisturizer that contains vitamins A, C, and E, plus anti-oxidants are great.   These ingredients neutralize the damaging toxins from the sun, and can help prevent further damage when summer is over.   EnMoist and AgeLess are the perfect day and evening moisture option for anti-aging.

Use Sunscreen The use of sunscreen is a very important and is the main cause of aging skin. Don’t skip this step!  Good Day Sunshine + Vitamin D Moisturizer is a great addition for your daily sun-care needs.

Internal - External Hydrate! Drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day will keep your skin moisturized and help eliminate toxins effectively. Have an extra glass of water for every glass of alcohol/cup of coffee you take to prevent possible dehydration. Try to get as much water as possible from fresh fruits and vegetables.

EAT to your beauty! Foods rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids and antioxidants such as polyphones, Vitamins A, C and E can help reverse summer damage, prepare it for the

challenges it will face during winter and boost the skin’s immune system while preserving its quality and restoring its natural glow.

A comprehensive skin care system can help protect your skin's existing defenses to prevent further damage. Antioxidants and broad-spectrum sunscreen ingredients help protect, while moisturizers help minimize the initial signs of aging.

 

Beautiful Health with Fiber-Rich Fruit That Makes Your Skin Glow

With its distinct flavor, the powerful taste of grapefruit is not for everyone. But with its high nutritional content and refreshing scent, more and more people are touting the ingredient as a skin-care secret. But what is it about the fruit that benefits the skin?

Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, grapefruit extract applied topically can provide an array of anti-aging benefits like evening skin tone and fighting off free radicals. When eaten, it provides the body with important nutrients essential for healthy skin.

“Internally, grapefruit is a great example of a fruit that is loaded with skin-protective antioxidants and also has a high water content, which helps keep your skin’s barrier (the outer layer) hydrated and more resistant to wrinkle-causing free-radical damage from the sun and daily pollution,” says Los Angeles dermatologist, Howard Murad, MD. “A great benefit of grapefruit is that it promotes the production of collagen, thus making the skin more plump and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, keeping the skin looking younger and more supple.”

“Grapefruit has excellent astringent and exfoliating properties that are perfect for oily or acne-prone skin.  It also increases the pH of the skin, which may reduce acne.
