November is a time of year where many holidays are celebrated from various cultures. With that said, this is also Native American Heritage Month. I am happy to bring you information about Native American Beauty companies.
Here’s an excerpt from Womens Health website about these beauty products.
…The majority of these Indigenous and Native American makeup, skincare, and body care brands, there’s a focus on ingredients found directly in nature and sustainable practices to harvest those ingredients and package the products. Utilizing natural herbs, oils, and extracts (like sage, tea tree, and lavender) is key for Indigenous communities, who live in communion with the land they’re on and incorporate nature into many of the medicinal practices that have been in their families for centuries. Many of the products are handmade by the founders, too.
Read the details at the link below for a list of these sustainable beauty products.

Have you thought about using your essential oils to massage your hands? Recently I decided to see how using this option benefits your “well-being” care.
Here is what I learned from an article at the Healthline website:
See additional details at the link below.
https://www.healthline.com/health/pain-relief/the-many-benefits-of-a-hand-massage-and-how-to-do-it-yourself#benefits
Treat yourself to watching the 5 minute hand massage demonstrations at the videos below. You will not be disappointed.
Healthline has detailed guidelines for which carrier and essential oils to use. In addition, I want to remind you always use a carrier oil (for example, fractionated coconut oil, olive oil) to dilute essential oils. Learn more about essential oils dilution at this link: https://hairblues.me/2022/07/04/an-essential-oil-dilution-lesson/

It seems odd now, that many years ago I was given wellness care from a dear friend, Leslie(Les) Kaslof, who was at the time delving into herbs and later “flower essences” .
I had a severe allergy reaction to the environment, which resulted in very bad headaches and constant sneezing. He whipped up a concoction of herbs and gave me a pillow of lavender flowers and oil to lay on my head. I was willing to try almost anything at the time because i was in so much pain.
Well folks, whatever Les blended with the herbs and “flower essences” he had, it worked. That was more than 50 years ago. No one of our friends knew anything about the study of herbs and oils. In fact, Les made a chart of the herbs and what they could be used for. I include a link here to that masterpiece. I shall always remember that gift given time and the attention and care Les gave to me. He was a pioneer in the Flower Essence World.

Life is full of ironies – fast forward to my present-day interests. I am a certified aromatherapist, and I spend a lot of time researching essential oils, and more recently flower essences, which I was introduced to by my aromatic wellness colleagues. “Low and behold” – this is what Les was involved in! So, I am eager to share this video with you, which was posted on the Herbalist Without Borders blog. I am a member of this nonprofit organization. At a time when pharmaceuticals are available for ‘this & that’, I am reminded that my grandmother always used herbs for her wellness care and lived until she was 94 years old. As a matter of fact, she would send my sister and me to Kiehls to purchase ‘dandelion’ and other herbs, which she would use for her wellness regimen. At that time, it was a storefront.
Sometimes, we need to get ‘back to basics‘. Take a look at the presentation below in your free time. You just might find a solution to the issue you’re having.
