Face-Mapping to Internal Associated Organs

As a guide, go over each zone of the face and look for any changes in colour (from your normal skin tone), deep lines (that aren’t part of the normal aging process), congestion (pimples, blackheads, milia, whiteheads) or puffiness.

Below is a guide to the key areas of the face and their associated organs. Included are key indications about lines and colours that provide additional information.

In descending order down the forehead: Bladder, Large Intestine, Small Intestine.

Usually lines across the forehead reflect an imbalance. Congestion or acne in this area represents digestive congestion and possibly poor detoxification. Red and dry or flaky skin is an indication of lack of fluids in the digestive tract.

Between the Eyes

This is the liver zone. A red patch between the eyes is a possible indication of poor liver detoxification and even heavy metal toxicity (particularly mercury). Vertical lines in this zone indicate Liver imbalance.

Under the Eyes

The top of the eye and directly below the eyes is the kidney zone. Puffiness and fluid retention in this area is a sign the body is holding on to too much fluid (watery and swollen with a blue tinge) or is mucus congested (fatty and swollen with a yellow tinge). Salt intake should be monitored, as should excessive sugary drinks such as fruit juice and soft drink. To reduce mucus congestion, reduce fat and dairy consumption. Blue circles or white under the eyes indicates tiredness or even exhaustion. A yellow tinge shows the liver and gallbladder are working too hard.

Dry, flaky or red skin in the creases above the eye shows liver stress.

The Nose

The nose tip corresponds to the lungs while the bridge reflects the health of the stomach. Congestion in the form of blackheads usually represents poor stomach digestion and possibly low hydrochloric acid levels.If the nose is red or has broken capillaries, this usually indicates excessive intake of heating liquids including alcohol, coffee and tea.

The Cheeks

Represent the respiratory & circulatory systems. Pimples or congestion in this area are often the result of a high fat and mucus forming diet (simple sugar, dairy and processed foods).Pale cheeks may be a sign of low iron levels whereas overly flushed cheeks show poor circulation and the consumption of too many hot foods such as alcohol, coffee and spices and poor elimination. A greenish tinge indicates liver congestion.

The Mouth

Generally represents the digestive function. White or very pale lips may indicate low iron levels and poor circulation. Dry flaky skin or wrinkles can indicate dehydration. Cracks or sores in the corners of the mouth are signs of low B vitamin or iron levels. Red, hot or bleeding gums are a sign of a hot or over-acidic stomach and so animal fats, simple sugars and heating food & drink needs to be avoided.

The Chin Corresponds to the kidneys and digestive system. Once again congestion in this area can be a sign of a diet high in processed foods, sugars and fats. It can also indicate unbalanced kidney function, which is usually the result of pushing the body by working too hard, stress or going beyond normal physical endurance.

The Jaw and under the jaw line Often a hormonal influence, particularly if worsens in accordance with monthly cycles. Cysts rather than pimples may indicate lymphatic toxicity, which may result from medications, environmental toxins or a highly processed and sugar rich diet.

Lose Weight and Detox Safely at Kasia with our NEW INFRARED SAUNA!
sauna
"What? Where are you putting a "sauna" at Kasia?"

The Headquarters Kasia office is now gone, and the sauna is IN!  I've followed this modality of detoxification for quite some time, in particular, many of the Functional Medicine Doc's I recieve education from. These professionalsrun their clients through their Infrared Sauna with their protocols.

Dr. Mark Hyman's newest book, Ultrametabolism, addresses the use of an infrared sauna as a means of practicing active relaxation to reduce stress and lose weight.

Dr. Michelle Robin, DC    "In my personal experience, the sauna dramatically improves body chemistry leading to overall enhanced health and well being.

Why did Kasia Organic Salon bring in this modality?

The health benefits of infrared therapy are now indisputable. Detoxification, skin rejuve and clearing, relaxation, cardiovascular benefits, pain relief and weight loss have all been either clinically studied or experienced by users as quoted in Healthy Living Magazine.  We want you to be able to enjoy the experience of Infrared.

We plan to make this service (and other BONUSES) available within the next 2 weeks, so watch for this announcement!

What is Far Infrared Sauna?

Far Infrared is a form of light that we feel as heat. The sun has infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV).

UV rays are the bad   and    IR is the good

Far Infrared penetrates into your body 3 times deeper than steams, dry saunas.

Traditional saunas remove about 3% toxin in your sweat, Infrared allows around 17% toxins to be released in your sweat.

The infrared sauna is completely safe and produces the same rays that you feel from the sun without the harmful ultraviolet rays.

The radiant heat surrounds you as it penetrates deeply into your joints, muscles and tissues, this helps increase circulation and speed oxygen flow. Infrared helps to remove impurities from your cells, specifically the cells inside our fat where the body stores waste and harmful toxins such as heavy metals and cholesterol.

The only way to remove toxins from the fat storage sites is to mobilize the toxic fat. Heat stress (infrared sauna) is an effective method of removing fat-stored toxins from the body.

Infrared sauna also helps you relax and keep your cortisol levels low. When stressed cortisol levels deposit extra calories to the midsection.

skin
Skin is the largest organ in the body and plays a significant part in the detox process.

· Clogged pores (unplugged of cosmetics, un-excelled skin texture and tone)

· Poor skin tone (restored to a more youthful level)

· Acne (three to four treatments may open pores that have been nonfunctioning for years, forcing out clogging cosmetics, and loosening dry outer skin)

· Teenage skin problems (clearing acne and blackheads)

· Body odor (improved functioning of the skin especially body odor, induced by occupational exposure to odorous chemicals)

· Eczema and Psoriasis (respond well)

· Dandruff (increased blood flow through the scalp)

Kasia SO-BERRY FRESH SOAP NUTS

organic all-purpose cleaner

USDA CERTIFIED   •   ORGANIC   •   ALLERGY-FREE

A SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO CHEMICAL CLEANERS

Common laundry detergents contain phosphates, ammonia, phenol, brighteners, artificial fragrances, EDTA and SLS, all which can remain 
on your clothes after washing.

This residue can cause skin irritation (rashes, itching, allergic reactions) and sinus problems, as well as long-term toxic effects on the environment.

Kasia’s Organic ‘Berry-Fresh Soap Nuts’ are . . .

. . . perfect for sensitive skin (such as eczema, psoriasis and allergies) because they are naturally antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial. No added chemicals or perfumes are added. . . . more effective than toxic detergents. Your colors remain bright, fabric structure is maintained, odors are eliminated and static cling is reduced. Use on all fabrics — at all temperatures — in top or front loading machines. Tough on odors and stains; soft on delicates. . . . economical. Soap Nuts cost much less than chemical detergents — laundry is cleaned for less than 13 cents per load!  Plus, no fabric softener is needed and they offer an unlimited shelf life. . . . multi-purpose. Use them to clean virtually in your home. . . . ecological. Soap Nuts do not pollute, are safe for septic systems, and are 100% biodegradable and compostable! . . . grown on Sapindus Mukrossi trees found in the Himalayans. (Beware of cheaper, smaller and darker soap nuts available on the internet. They contain lower levels of the active ingredient saponin, and therefore are less effective at cleaning.)

Basic Directions and Recipes ...so FRESH!

how to use for laundry

1.    Put 5–6 Soap Nuts (about 1/2 oz.) into a ‘wash bag.’ 
    If desired, add in your favorite Essential Oil for extra 
    antimicrobial properties and scent. 2.    Toss bag in washing machine with dirty laundry. 3.    Reuse wash bag 4–7 times — or more. 
    (Note: Number of loads vary due to water temperature, hardness, 
     washer type, duration of cycles, etc.) how to use as a liquid detergent
for everyday cleaning Soap Nuts also are a safe replacement for many chemical-based, multi-purpose cleaners. Liquify the Soap Nuts and use the solution to clean windows, bathrooms, kitchens and floors. It can also serve as liquid hand soap, laundry soap for ultra delicates and shampoo.

“Liquid Soap Nut Soak” Recipe

1.    Bring four cups of water to a boil in a heavy sauce pan with a lid.
2.    Turn off the heat and toss 6–8 Soap Nuts in the saucepan with  the hot water.
3.    Cover the sauce pan. Let it sit overnight.
4.    In the morning, remove and discard the remaining shells.
5.    Pour the cooled liquid into a container with a lid.

Give your Soap Nut Soak a scent of essential oils — lemon or tea tree oil for bathroom cleanser, lavender for cold water laundry loads, and sweet orange for dishwasher cleaning liquid. This batch of Soap Nut Soak will wash at least 8 loads of laundry use 1/4 to 1/2 cup for each load).

$21.95 for nearly 200 wash loads!

Kasia Essential Oil and Home Remedies for Hair Loss and Growth!

Hair loss is a common problem faced by both women AND men ....and one that we address   often at Kasia Salon. We do this by our partnership in home care, and also provide a referal list for advance hormone testing, etc.

In this short read, learn more of why this problem occurs and some effective natural home remedies you can use to overcome hair loss.

Main Reasons

There are multiple  factors which can contribute to hair fall but the main ones are generally hormone products (and lack there of),  depression, side effects of some medications, toxicity (build up)  uncleanness, stress and sometimes it is genetic in nature. Scientifically,  the problem occurs due to excess production of DHT  in the body.

STOP! If you notice your hair falling at a rapid pace then it is very important to start the healing process as soon as possible to limit any further damage. At Kasia all clients go home with a customized blend of oils with Jojoba Oil to start this process.

The following are some tested home remedies you can easily initiate!

1. Use Jojoba Oil and Essential Oil of choice to  massage your head scalp within the evening before going to bed.   This will help in strengthening of the hair follicles, stimulate cellular energy, and make your hair healthy.

2. Shampoo?  Keep your hair clean with non-surfactant, or conventional hair products.  Key is: Keep build up off the hair follicle!  By avoided these harsher products you also decrease harmful chemicals which make the hair thin and weak.  Our focus as Kasia Organic Salon is to build the hair and scalp back up in daily  nourishment.

3.  Supplementation for hair loss is also a large part of this process.  Omega/Essential Fatty Acids, B Vitamins, and Probiotics help imensely.  Kasia LOVES Immuno-viva CORE and Probiotic + for cellular metabolism, nourishment, and gut health. This will also help in lowering dht levels in the body thereby helping in combating hair loss.

4. Stress Less!  Be sure to receive self care and adequate sleep, drink plenty of water, helping flush out all harmful toxins from the body - hence giving you healthier skin and hair.

Kasia Jojoba Oil and EO Quick Treatment Guide

Directions:  Mix 1oz with total of 10 drops of single/blend essential oils.

Dandruff:

Tea Tree, Chamomile, Rosemary, Ylang-ylang

Normal Hair Juniper, rosemary, lavender, geranium, clary sage

It could take at least 3 to 6 months or even longer for hair to grow back and scalp health improvements to be noticed.

Why is the Ammonia-Free Hair Color at Kasia a better product in terms of safety?

Yes, primarily the formulation does not use Ammonia (Ammonium Hydroxide) and Ethanolamines (including mono-ethanolamine or MEA, diethanolamine or DEA) as alkaline agents.

At Kasia Salon, phone calls come in daily of a growing number of reactive/allergic coloring guests.  It's "no wonder...."  Ammonia is a strong irritant to skin and the respiratory system, while added ethanolamines which is a milder irritant is also a known toxicant to internal organs and a carcinogen. Source: CosmeticsDatabase.com

Secondarily, as a shared philosophy in our Hamadi/other  products, there is a ZERO tolerance of industrial compounds such as propylene glycol (mineral oil), PEG's or synthetics, and sulfates, etc.

What about PPD? (P-phenylenediamine)

NO WAY!  There is no ppd for your added safety.  However, people who are sensitive or allergic to ppd have a high probability of reacting to its related dye compounds.

We offer a free patch test that we suggest to administered at least 48 hours before the very first color service.

Natural .... Organic hair color...Really?

Well, let's get this clear - the color is made of natural ingredients and organic chemical compounds.  Being VERY hesitant in engaging in false advertising like other "natural" or "organic" brands.

Sure, other ingredients cam are organically grown, but the dye pigments of any permanent hair color are not made from living plant material.  They are synthetic organic compounds.   If somebody ever invented a hair dye system derived from living plants that can lift and deposit colors consistently and cover gray hair uniformly, it will HUGE industry news and licensing in new technology.  In a billion dollar market, this would ride on the scale of the TV or the I-Phone!

BIG TOPICS of Recent at Kasia!

Healthy Scalp = Healthy Hair Growth

My clients often ask me about potential hair loss when they notice their hair shedding. If I've seen it once, I've seen it all....and Kasia Salon is committed to creating options for you! "Ugh, Hair Loss...." The truth is, a certain amount of hair loss is normal (anywhere from 50-100 strands per day), but excessive hair loss and hair thinning indicates that something is not right. The causes of accelerated hair loss are very individual and depend on a complicated set of factors, including hormonal and metabolic imbalances, emotional stress and nutritional deficiencies.

Unfortunately many conventional doctors downplay hair loss as an inevitable part of aging for both sexes, treating it with topical products like Rogaine that enhance existing hair but offer no real solution to the causes of hair loss, and therefore no prevention of continued hair thinning. Life cycle of a hair follicle

Why do certain hair follicles break their normal cycle and switch into a resting or "off" position - temporarily or permanently? And why do some women experience thinning hair on their head and darker thicker hair on other parts of their bodies? The reasons are highly individual, but can include any combination of the following:

  • Stress (emotional and physical)
  • Hormonal imbalance, specifically androgen sensitivity
  • Genetics
  • Immune system irregularities
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Nutritional deficiencies (especially iron or vitamin A)
  • Cosmetics (allergies and harsh treatments)

Nutrition Kasia believes in first hitting the inside out in proper nutrition. In countries where vegetables are primary in the diet, hair loss is rarely ever seen. Catalysts like single or complex B vitamins in particular are helpful with scalp sebum and new cell generation, necessary for healthy hair growth. Some minerals work with others to ramp up antioxidant activity and block bad enzymes.
