Probiotics - Inner Health for Outer Beauty
Probiotic literally means “for life”, and unlike the foreign bacteria which cause illness and infection, probiotics can play an important role in promoting intestinal health. Probiotics are similar to the good bacteria which occur naturally in the digestive tract and can be beneficial in treating a range of ailments, including skin conditions such as acne and eczema.
Healthy intestinal flora is essential for the effective digestion of food. By promoting healthy bacteria, probiotics aid the proper absorption of nutrients and minerals, and help establish a barrier against a variety of harmful bacteria, allergens, free radicals and pollutants.
Poor bacterial ecology can exacerbate hormonal, digestive and immune imbalances. These imbalances can in turn effect virtually all chronic skin diseases. Dandruff, candida, leaky gut syndrome and acne are just some of the skin conditions which may be associated with a lack of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract. Rosacea and eczema - skin ailments often related to stomach acid and nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, and faulty fatty acid metabolism - may also be exacerbated by low levels of healthy intestinal bacteria.
Supplementing your diet with super strain probiotics will help cleanse the digestive tract and promote a clear complexion. Kassie of Kasia Organics Skin Care suggests introducing Immuno Viva Probiotic + for healthy gut flora, along with a diet rich in living foods, fresh organic fruit and vegetables and plenty water. These nutrients not only nourish and feed the skin, they also cleanse the intestinal tract, and as your gut becomes healthier, so too will your complexion. A foundation of Salon Kasia and Beautiful Health is directly related to your internal health.
Part of this could be due to the fact that some of the incredible statistics about your intestine read like a "Ripley's Believe It or Not". Did you know that:

Note: Choose your probiotics supplements carefully. Not all probiotic supplements will have the same qualities.
At Kasia Salon, we have noticed many positive skin changes under the influence of an essential fatty acid and gastro-intestinal supplementation.

How Emotional Health, Hormones, and Nutrition - Stresses our Tresses
Medication
If you're suddenly shedding more and your life or mood hasn't changed drastically, check any new meds you're taking. Progesterone, a hormone found in some forms of birth control, as well as vitamin A derivatives (synthetics such as acne Rx) can shut down follicles and trigger hair loss. Other possible culprits: depression meds and heartburn helpers. Other health issues could be to blame (a thyroid problem).
Hormones
High levels of estrogen bring fringe benefits: dewy skin and shiny hair. Estrogen works by blocking a by-product of testosterone (dihydrotestosterone) that may promote balding, says Futterweit, M.D., clinical professor of endocrinology at Mount Sinai. That's why hair is thickest in your 20s and 30s, when hormones are percolating. In these years (and during pregnancy), 70 to 90 percent of hair is in a growth phase; by your 40s, the proportion of hair in this cycle decreases by up to 30 percent.
Stress
Stress-hormone receptors exist in and around hair follicles, which means that besides wreaking havoc on mood, the fight-or-flight neurochemicals adrenaline and cortisol can also harm hair. "Stress can increase shedding, leading to thinning. Releasing stress and tension usually revives follicles within about four months. To calm your mind and hair, carve out time daily to relax or relax in Kasia’s Infrared Sauna to sweat away toxicity, mind and body. It'll pay off in more ways than one!
Genetics
Yes, your DNA controls hair thickness, when you'll go gray and, possibly, vulnerability to pollution and stress. Oxidative damage may cause graying by triggering a buildup of hydrogen peroxide in the follicle, blocking pigment formation
Nutrition
Pile your plate with foods that contain healthy-hair essentials. Protein is the building block of every strand (it makes up 95 percent of hair's weight); zinc (found in meats and nuts) bolsters natural oils that coat the hair shaft (for extra shine!); vitamin B derivatives (biotin, B6 and B12) promote new cell growth within the follicles. Most important is iron, which facilitates the activity of enzymes needed for hair growth.
Brittle Hair/Nails
Excess stress hormones and low thyroid hormones can contribute to brittle or thinning hair and nails. Improper absorption or breakdown of proteins in your digestive system means you do not have the raw materials to generate healthy hair and nails, causing lackluster locks. Liver toxicity can also affect hair and nail health, leading to dullness or brittleness.
Acne
Female hormone imbalances such as abnormal estrogen or progesterone levels can contribute to acne. In the digestive system, food sensitivities are implicated in skin conditions. An overworked liver cannot properly process toxins from poor diet, environmental exposure, or from the digestive tract, and this toxic build up can manifest as acne or skin rashes as toxins are excreted through the skin.

FAQ * Kasia SO-BERRY FRESH SOAP NUTS
Kasia SO-BERRY FRESH SOAP NUTS
Saponin Is The Key
The fruit of the soapberry tree produces saponin, which naturally protects the fruit by repelling bugs, bacteria and fungus. Approximately 15% of the outer fruit of the soapberry is made up of saponin. The seed, which is removed during harvesting, does not contain any saponin.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can you use soapberries (aka soapnuts) if you have a nut allergy?
The mislabeling of soapberries as soapnuts causes a lot of confusion on this topic. However, these are truly berries and not nuts and they won’t cause any kind of nut allergy.
2. How do they work?
Soapberries contain saponin, which makes water “wetter” and holds dirt suspended in water until they are rinsed away.
3. Will they remove stains?
They are effective at removing everyday stains but you may need to use a separate stain treatment for more stubborn ones.
4. Can they be used for anything other than laundry?
Yes! They can be used for cleaning a broad range of things (see below)
5. Will my whites stay white?
For best results separate your colors and whites. You can ad borax to the white wash for extra whitening.
6. Are they safe to use in all machines (high efficiency, front and top loaders)?
Absolutely - just remember to keep them in the wash bag provided (or alternatively an old sock tied at the top) to prevent the berries from getting stuck in the machine’s filter. They are great for front loading machines because they naturally produce very little foam.
7. Is it ok to leave them in the rinse cycle?
Yes. There is no residue to wash away. The saponin in the soapberry is released in warm water. Cold water is used in the rinse cycle. The saponin remaining in the rinse cycle adds body and softness to your laundry.
8. Will soapberries maintain my colors?
Yes! Soapberries will not deteriorate colors as do commercial detergents.
9. Can I use soapberries with cold water?
Yes! The saponins in the soapberry release more slowly in cold than warm water, but they still work effectively. It’s best to soak the soapberries in warm water to release the saponins.
10. Do I need to use fabric softener?
Saponins contained in soapberries leave your laundry beautifully soft, so there is no need for a commercial fabric softener.
11. Are soapberries safe to use on my really delicate clothes?
Yes! Soapberries have been used for centuries for the most delicate of silk and wool fabrics and can be safely used without bleaching out color.
12. Can soapberries be used to handwash clothes?
Yes. You can either make up a soapberry solution or else you can soak the soapberries for a few minutes in their bag in warm water.
13. I can’t see any bubbles in my wash - how can they be working?
Foam is not related to the effectiveness of the cleaning product. Although some soaps naturally foam, commercial detergents are generally low foaming with a foaming agent added to increase the perception of cleaning power.
14. Do soapberries have a lifespan? Will they lose effectiveness over time?
Provided soapberries are kept in a dry place, they should remain as effective as the day you bought them.
15. Are soapberries good for washing cloth diapers?
Yes. Soapberries are all natural, and contain no harsh chemicals that will irritate your baby’s skin and cause diaper rash. Soapberries naturally soften and add body to laundry - without “clogging up” the fibers of the diapers. In fact, soapberries will “strip” the diaper of build-up caused by commercial detergents, and increase the diaper’s absorbency. Soapberries gently and effectively eliminate all lingering smells.
16. Are soapberries safe for my baby’s laundry?
Yes. Soapberries are 100% natural and hypoallergenic, and they do not contain added chemicals or fragrances which can often lead to skin irritation in babies and others with skin sensitivities.
17. Are soapberries safe for my septic system?
Definitely. Soapberries are anti-microbial and are actually beneficial for both septic and greywater systems. Also, because soapberries are 100% natural and biodegradable, it’s completely safe to put the soapberry liquid down the drain.
18. Eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and other itchy or bumpy symptoms
Soapberries are especially great for those with sensitive skin - including babies and those that suffer from allergies, eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis ! They are natural treatments of eczema and are great for those with bumps symptoms such as hands bumps, bumps on fingers, nose bumps, finger bumps, dry bumps, . Soapberries are extremely gentle and chemical free - alleviating the potential for problems for eczema babies. Liquid or sheet fabric softeners may also irritate skin, but since soapberries make your laundry soft and fluffy, those commercial products are unnecessary!
19. Are soapberries safe for those with sensitive skin, skin disorders or rashes?
Yes! Soapberries are natural soap and hypoallergenic. Commercial detergents can easily irritate skin and are one of the causes of rash. Soapberries do not contain added chemicals or fragrance which often irritate people with skin sensitivities, sensitive facial reactions to chemicals or those with rash conditions such as sore rash, small rash, rash spots, rash eyes, red itch, red sweat, blisters white, rash swelling, face blisters, rash lips, rash fingers, body soars, nose blisters, finger rash, red spots rash, redness rash, back rashes, and rashes on arms.
20. What about my allergies to soap?
Soapberries are 100% non-allergenic. They are ideal for people who normally suffer from allergies to soap and have an allergic face or other body parts. Most allergic reactions to soap are due to added chemicals and fragrance. Soapberries are naturally grown and chemical free.
21. The end product still goes down the drain. Does that hurt the environment?
No. Soapberries are anti-microbial. This means that they actually help in breaking down the grey water in your septic system. They are 100% green eco friendly and cleaner environmentally.
Preserving your Soap nuts liquid.
FREEZING: You can freeze the liquid in ice cube trays. Depending on the size of each cube, use 2 or 3 per load of laundry. If each cube holds about 1 Tbsp. Use 2 cubes.
PRESERVING: Use clean quart jars.Place the equivalent of 7-10 soap nuts in each jar. (it’s better to use smaller soap nut pieces). Fill with boiling water but leave a ½ in. space at the top.Place the lid on securely.
WATER BATH: Place the jars in the boiling water. Make sure to cover the jars completely. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 30 minutes. Remove jar from boiling water and let cool.

WINDOW & GLASS CLEANER: Fill a spray bottle with 1 Tbsp. Vinegar and 1 Tbsp. Soap nuts liquid fill with water. Polish with a dry cloth or newspaper.
CLEANING JEWELRY: Soak your jewelry in the liquid for a few minutes. Use a old soft toothbrush to gently remove debris. Rinse with clean water and polish with a dry cloth.
HAND WASHING SILKS and DELICATES: Add 1 or 2 tsp. Soap nuts liquid or powder to warm water. Gently wash your delicates. Rinse with warm water and hang or lay flat to dry.
MOSQUITO REPELLENT: Spray liquid on your hands and rub onto bare arms, legs or face. Safe and gentle to use for babies and children.
LIQUID HAND SOAP: Fill a regular or foaming pump bottle with the liquid and use to wash your hands. It will not create tons of lather, but will clean hands well. Add a few drops essential oils to make a germ-killing soap.
FOR PETS: Use the liquid to wash your pet’s fur. Will leave the fur soft and manageable. Also can be sprayed directly on pet to help repel mosquitoes.

Your Sexy Hormones
Digestive system
Detoxification Pathways
Informed Beauty, YOU will receive:
• Truth about Fad Diets and Myths • Recipe Ideas • Testing Suggestions • Relation to- and tips on Skin and Hair Health and MORE
_____________________________________________________________________
The hormonal system regulates our metabolic rate and controls how we burn body fat, the digestive system provides us the nutrients we need to burn body fat and the detoxification system, when not working properly, prevents the burning of fat stores.
Date: Monday, July 19th
Time: 6:15 pm
Where: Kasia Organic Salon
Brief Preview:
Those Crazy Hormones.
Most weight gain can be traced to the adrenal, or stress, hormones. The adrenal hormone cortisol, best known for its pivotal role in responding to stress, also promotes the burning of body fat, helps regulate emotions, and counters inflammation —
Adrenal Exhaustion
Poor diets, lack of exercise and sleep, and long work hours leave bodies in a chronic state of stress, leaving your restorative functions impaired.
Yes, your fatigued but here are some other adrenal rhythm impacts:
* Skin regeneration, causing wrinkles and premature aging
* Sleep quality, leading to trouble falling and staying asleep
* Bone health, which creates osteopenia or bone loss
* Muscle and joint function, leading to achy arthritis-type joint pain and neck, shoulder, and lower back pain
* Immune function, leading to frequent illness
The Digestive System
Referred as the "mother" system because it feeds our body tissues with the nutrients we need to function.
A well functioning digestive system is an crucial first step in any weight loss and wellness, as your body needs to absorb key vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to properly regulate metabolism and burn fat.
Problems with the digestive system and hormonal system are the most common underlying causes of weight gain.
Intestinal fungal overgrowth, which triggers over consumption of carbohydrates and sweets and digestive tract and food sensitivities play a part in weight gain.
The Detoxification System
Detoxification pathways remove harmful chemicals generated from normal body functions.
Toxicity also leads to weight loss resistance. Toxins are stored in fat tissue in the body and people who are overweight will hold on to fat tissue tenaciously in an attempt to protect the body from the damage that would be caused by the release of these stored toxins.
In addition, liver toxicity leads to weight gain through fluid retention and bloating as the body attempts to buffer or neutralize the negative effects of toxins on the body.
