Can someone please inform me of what skin oil you recommend for dry skin? I had baby oil tested and it was okay for me, but is there a much higher quality skin oil that you recommend?

1. Help Heal Wounds and Burns For minor cuts, scratches, and burns, honey can be applied topically to help speed healing. Honey acts as a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent and is known to lower prostaglandin levels while elevating nitric oxide end products, processes that help explain honey's wound-healing powers. Honey's unique formulation, including its acidity, hydrogen peroxide content, osmotic effect, and antioxidants, is responsible for a number of beneficial processes that stimulate and promote wound healing, such as: - Enhanced tissue growth - Increased epithelialization - Reduced scar formation - Stimulation of immunity Honey is so potent that, in a study of critically ill children with pressure injuries, the use of a Manuka honey dressing or gel reduced wound-healing time compared with standard care. In fact, the children treated with honey were 1.9 times more likely to have their wounds completely healed than those who received only standard care. 2. Soothe Coughs and Upper Respiratory Tract Infections Honey is regarded as highly beneficial for soothing irritating coughs in the ancient Indian medical system known as Ayurveda. Hippocrates also used honey for coughs. Modern research supports this use, with honey found to relieve cough symptoms more effectively than no treatment, placebo, or the antihistamine diphenhydramine. It also reduces cough duration more effectively than the asthma medication salbutamol. A systematic review and meta-analysis also found that honey was superior to usual care in improving symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections, including reduced cough frequency and severity. Among children with upper respiratory tract infections, honey was as effective as the over-the-counter cough medication dextromethorphan and superior to no treatment for nighttime cough relief. Furthermore, parents rated honey more favorably than cough syrup, leading researchers to conclude that "Honey may be a preferable treatment for the cough and sleep difficulty associated with childhood upper respiratory tract infection."

"Why You Wake Up at 3:00 AM (The Mayday Call)" Your liver has no voice. It has no pain receptors. You could cut it, and it wouldn't scream. So when it is drowning in fat (don’t think “dietary fat”, think “fatty liver” from sugar/carbs/toxins!), it cannot call out to you. Instead, it calls the Adrenals. And they wake you up. THE STORY It’s 3:03 AM. You jolt awake. Heart pounding. Sheets damp. Mind racing with anxiety. You think: "Did I hear a noise? Is it stress? Is it menopause?" No. It is a Rescue Mission. While you were sleeping, your blood sugar crashed. A healthy liver would simply release some stored fuel to smooth it out. But your liver is Fatty. It is congested. It is sluggish. It failed to deliver the fuel. Your brain sensed the crash and screamed: "MAYDAY! WE ARE GOING DOWN!" It smashed the emergency button for the Adrenal Glands. The Adrenals responded by flooding your veins with Adrenaline and Cortisol. This chemical surge forced your liver to dump sugar to save your life. But it also hit you like a shot of espresso in the dark. You are not "just awake." You are in a chemical "Fight or Flight" panic, lying in a safe bed, because your liver couldn't do its job. THE SCIENCE Most doctors will check your ALT and AST enzymes. If they are "normal," they say your liver is fine. They are waiting for the building to collapse. We look for the smoke. If you have the "3 AM Wake Up" AND "Brain Fog," your liver is the root cause. The toxins it failed to filter are clouding your brain. The adrenaline it triggered is ruining your sleep. THE CALL TO ACTION Sleeping pills won't fix this. They just silence the alarm while the fire burns. You must drain the fuel. 1.Cut the Fructose: No juice, no soda, no fruit after dark .2.Cut the Alcohol: It shuts down the rescue team. 3.Start the Fast: Give your liver the night off so it can catch up. Your liver cannot scream. But it can wake you up. Are you listening?

After decades of being pushed to the culinary sidelines, organ meats are officially having their comeback moment. Not as a trend, not as shock-value content, but as a return to what humans have eaten for millennia. The wellness world hasn’t been reviving organs out of nostalgia — they revived them because people are craving real nutrient density again and this is why you may have heard some of us here at MBS suggesting. Below, is a breakdown of why organs have always been nutritional powerhouses, why they disappeared from modern plates, and how to dip a toe into the organ-meat world without panicking your taste buds. What They Looked At: Why Organs Are Basically Nature’s Multivitamin Across traditional cultures — from Arctic communities to pastoral societies to early agricultural groups — one thing was consistent: People didn’t skip the organs. They prized them. Modern nutrition science confirms why: - Liver: Packed with vitamin A, B12, folate, copper — basically a naturally occurring supplement aisle. - Heart: Loaded with CoQ10, essential for mitochondrial energy (aka the stuff that keeps you alive and functioning). - Kidneys: High in selenium and B vitamins that support detox pathways and cellular repair. Organ meats, particularly from grass-fed animals, are nature's most nutrient-dense foods, offering nutrients in their most bioavailable forms. So, always make sure you do your homework on organ meats and choose grass-fed and finished when possible (keep reading...some suggestions are below!) What This Proves: The Modern Protein Problem Something strange happened in the last century. As industrialized food systems scaled up, organ meats faded out — replaced by boneless, skinless muscle meat and “convenient” protein snacks that crumble into dust if you breathe too hard near the wrapper. And even though people were eating more protein, they were getting less nutrition. The gap widened: - Rich micronutrients dropped - Energy-supporting compounds dipped - Ancestral eating patterns were forgotten - Supplements tried (and mostly failed) to replace what organs naturally provide

Just what is a holiday health hangover? The holidays are full of big meals, eating foods that are not optimal for health, late-night drinks with family, gift-giving, watching seasonal films, and sleeping in. When it comes time to return to our nine-to-fives and resume our routines, complete with meetings, deadlines, school pick-ups, and so on, you may feel overwhelmed and fatigued. That’s what we mean when we say holiday health hangover! It’s also sometimes referred to as post-vacation depression. Many things can leave you feeling this holiday hangover after a busy season. Your schedule, the people you’re with, the food and beverages you consume, jet lag from travel... Instead of trying to just ‘carry on,’ regardless of how you feel, it’s crucial to recognize and identify the feeling, so you don’t end up burnt out before the year even begins. Here are some things to consider that may cause you to feel a holiday hangover. And read on for handy hints to help you get back to your most productive, happy, and healthy self without a hitch. Holiday Food Hangovers Holiday food hangovers are very real. The holidays are filled with sweet and savory foods that are usually richer than your daily meals. This may affect your blood sugar levels and upset your body’s balance, resulting in mood changes, fatigue, and digestive issues. Of course we recommend you try and stick to your recommended eating plan, but we know that isn't always realistic. Here are some common food issues that may be the culprit of your health hangover: Too Much Sugar When the holidays arrive, so do all of our favorite sweets. Just the smell of seasonal baking can encourage a host of sugar cravings. It can be easy to get carried away by the indulgent holiday spirit and all of the tasty goodies constantly available. After the holidays, it can be challenging to cut down on all the allowances you made for yourself during the season. Here are a few ways to begin: - Try a different approach if it’s too hard to cut down on added sugars and sweet temptations immediately after the holidays. Choose one favorite as you would during the holidays, and slowly start to eat smaller portions of it through the next few weeks.
