5 Interesting Ways To Use Loofah

Posted by @OrganicUniverse on December 18th, 2011

Loofah is commonly known as an item used for exfoliating the skin. However, there are so many other uses for loofah. It is amazing how people around the world use this incredible plant based sponge in so many different ways.

What is it?

According to Wikipedia, the luffa, loofah, or lufah (from Arabic ????) are tropical and subtropical vines comprising the genus Luffa, the only genus of the subtribe Luffinae of the plant family Cucurbitaceae. The fruit of at least two species, Luffa acutangula and Luffa aegyptiaca (Luffa cylindrica), is grown, harvested before maturity, and eaten as a vegetable, popular in Asia and Africa.

The ripe, dried fruit is also the source of the loofah or plant sponge. Luffas are also used to make the soles of beach sandals.

Renew, Refresh and Rejuvenate!

Most everyone has at one point or another seen the straw colored sponge at a spa or in someone’s bathroom. The loofah sponge is a great way to exfoliate the skin (help shed dead skin cells). When you gently rub the exterior of the skin (upper epidermis) with the loofah it will remove dead skin cells and reveal a new layer of skin. This process leaves your skin fresh, clean and tight. Often people will use a loofah sponge with a detachable handle to clean your back or even to function as a back scratcher!

Scrubber Ducky!

Scrubber Ducky Makes Bath Time Fun!

Loofah sponges can be shaped in just about any way you can think of. This scrubber ducky is a fun way to make bath time fun for kids!

Alternative Tool Scrubbing Glassware & Non-stick Pans

Loofah sponges can be cut down to use in place of steel wool pads or chemical laden sponges which are designed to remove grease and stains from food. Ideally, people opt to use loofah sponges on any sensitive surface that cannot withstand the harshness from commercially produced cleansing pads. They are a very inexpensive and sustainable way to clean up after a meal!

Loofah can be manually cut down or bought ready to use for scrubbing pots and pans!

Arts and Crafts

Did you know that loofah sponges can be used in crafting as well? Loofah sponges are easy to cut and can be used to make dolls, Christmas ornaments, coasters, bracelets, placemats, and anything else your imagination can think of!

Oven Roasted Organic Poultry With Austrian Pumpkinseed Stuffing Recipe

Posted by @OrganicUniverse on December 13th, 2011

One of the best kept secrets for preparing poultry by chefs in Austria is to use both the Austrian Pumpkinseed oil and the Austrian pumpkin seeds. The flavor of the oil is actually slightly nutty and it does not have an overbearing pumpkin flavor which surprises most people who have never experienced the taste. The seeds combined with the herbs, wild rice and fruit create an intriguing quartet of flavor that really complements the taste of the chicken. By drizzling some of the Austrian Pumpkin oil on the outside of the chicken, all of the flavors combined produce an entrée that is well seasoned, juicy and delectable.

Oven Roasted Chicken With Austrian Pumpkinseed Stuffing

By drizzling a little Austrian Pumpkin oil on the outside of the chicken, the flavors are locked in!

Ingredients:

One organic free-range chicken
1 tablespoon Organic Rosemary or 1 fresh sprig
1 tablespoon Organic Thyme
6 fresh organic Sage leaves chopped or 2 tablespoons
1 small onion, chopped
1 small organic apple, diced
1 small organic pear, diced
1 cup organic wild rice
1 cup organic celery, diced
1 tablespoon chopped Austrian Pumpkinseeds
3 tablespoons Austrian Pumpkin Seed Oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper

Directions:

Stuffing: Cook the wild rice according to the directions. (As a rule of thumb, for every 1 cup of rice, you use 4 cups of water) tip: for additional flavor, use vegetable stock or chicken stock. Mix the pumpkin seeds, herbs , fruit and rice together and season with salt and pepper.
Stuff the cavity of the chicken with half the mixture.
Create a pocket between the meat and skin on the breast (beginning at the breast bone) of the chicken.
Place the remaining seeds/herbs/fruit/rice mixture into the pocket.
Pour the Austrian pumpkinseed oil into the pocket. Return the skin. For additional flavor, drizzle Austrian Pumpkin oil on the skin of the chicken. It will enhance the flavor of the chicken making the skin crunchy but not dry.
Bake poultry according to directions for weight.
Garnish and serve!

The Importance Of Prostate Massage

Posted by admin on November 27th, 2011

What Is The Prostate?

The prostate is a gland. It helps make semen, the fluid that contains sperm. It surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out through the penis. A young man’s prostate is about the size of a walnut. It slowly grows larger with age. If it gets too large, it can cause problems. The older men get, the more likely they are to have prostate problems. For men’s prostate health, massage is a great way to ensure good health!

The Importance Of Prostate Massage

by SanDanYi

I have for many years in my healing practice suggested to my male clients that it is important to learn about the many functions of the male prostate gland and ways to keep it healthy.

Since many nutritional viewpoints lead to supplementing prostate health via vitamins, minerals and countless philosophies that are centuries old, I think it is of paramount importance that men recognize the need to have ejaculations not just for pleasure but for optimum prostate health.

Austrian Pumpkin Seeds Are Consumed For Prostate Health

Seminal fluids contain not only sperm cells for procreation but also discharges various impurities that form in this region of the body. By keeping up a regiment of consistent ejaculations and hence the release of seminal fluids there is less build of toxins.

I remember having a conversation many years ago with a dear friend of mine Dr. Doris Rapp M.D. (even though her specialty was environmental medicine, and she was an acclaimed and best selling author of the book ‘Is This Your Child’s World”) she was still very much a qualified medical doctor. Since we both work in the health field, it is common for our brethren to have these types of intimate discussions which are difficult for so many people. People need to understand how the body works in order to keep it healthy and fit.

After a game of tennis, Doris said to me after our match that I appeared lethargic. Although she is much older than me, she ran circles all over the tennis court throughout the game. She asked me, ’San how frequently do you have sex these days?”

Without giving it much thought, I responded “not too often.” You see, I was coming off of a painful ending to a long term relationship and made a choice to remain alone.

She replied, “you do know it is important to have ejaculation for prostate health?”

I told her, “yes I was aware of this but I am not running out to have sex for the sake of having sex and masturbation is a lonely affair. “

She suggested that I look into various prostate massagers and this led me on my journey to discover some of the best products in the industry for prostate massage, hence better odds at maintaining my prostatic health throughout my life.

The Lelo Earl Gold Is Vital For Prostate Health Protocol

I know for many men this is a sensitive subject and can bring up many issues. I hope that you will not let this sensitive and personal subject matter keep you from acquiring the necessary knowledge that will help maintain you prostate help way beyond vitamin supplements and dietary implementations. You only get on prostate in this life so get the most out of it!

It’s The Most JoyUs Time Of The Year

Posted by admin on November 20th, 2011

The senses are key to our existence as human beings. The sense of smell is essential to connect our mind with our heart with our body so we can to our entire existence. This guest post was written by SanDanYi in order to share with the public his own personal experiences with obtaining balance, prosperity and tranquility through the use of JoyUs Aromatherapy Sprays.

By SanDanYi

Creating Your “Zen” Moments

When I use JoyUs Mind I can always relate to how I feel when I am finishing up a yoga session. Whenever I participate in any of what I term “Zen” moments, I usually come away with a more calm and relaxed Mind.

This is an essential part for me to continue to be creative. I must have a mind that is quiet. JoYus Mind supplies me with the same calming yet mentally invigorating feelings that I experience with yoga. Of course, the advantage to being able to access the spray is it is a greater convenience on hand than going to my yoga class, or having to practice yoga at moments in the day that are not conducive to being able to doing it.

With JoYus Mind I can just take it out shake it up and start spraying it and off I go to my own private yoga retreat that I feel after a yoga the more I use the more I feel that I am having a great spa experience.

This is great for all of us who are mentally stressed which seems to become more paramount during the Christmas Holiday Season. Using JoyUs Mind is like finding the proverbial chill pill in a bottle. It even worked for me when my accountant informed me to expect to pay more income takes this year. When you are focusing on creating abundance in your life, clarity is essential.

Creating Peace And Tranquility

I love it when my feelings are up and positive as it creates more positive and lasting memories and relationships. With JoyUs Heart I feel like I am filled with just this overall feeling of emotional peace and tranquility.

Imagine just being able to take the time and smell the flowers along life’s path. With JoYus Heart I am able to feel like my next spa experience is like floating in a tub with spices with mixture of herbs and flowers. The unique formulas that are not readily available in the marketplace are put right at my fingertips to use at my discretion.

I like how I relate to people and my immediate environment when I use it. Sometimes I use to look at young children at play in a park or play ground and really feel so good that they were enjoying their childhoods and were in their joy. As you know like myself as we grow older more and more responsibilities are put upon us and somehow that those special Joyous moments we had in our childhood seem further and further away from our reality.

This particular spray is great for my morning and evening meditation as it helps me surrender and get into the meditations at levels I never realized I could. I love the way my room smells when I walk back into it after I have used the spray.

The Consciousness Of The Body

For some reason this blend seems to make be want to stay in shape and work out or stretch more. I become more conscious of my physical body and seem to be more in touch with it. When I use my Pilates exercises prior to using my weights I just love the way my body feels when I use JoyUs Body.

One day I remember and it brought back memories when I was at a Health and Beauty Spa and had a herbal wrap treatment. So uplifting an experience and now I have it in bottle form and all the conveniences that comes with having it right at hand.

Sometimes I really enjoy spraying it in my hotel room when I am traveling or even at the houses of friends that I visit during my holiday travels. I like watching the nice nurturing appearance of the people I care most for benefited from it.

It makes me wish I had a claw foot tub that I could take a deep soak in or the fantastic hot tubs over looking the Pacific Ocean at the Golden Door Spa in California. It is like the tag line says “Your Personal Spa Experience in a Bottle” and I don’t leave home without them.

The Little Gold Box

Posted by June Stoyer on November 21st, 2010

This was a story that I heard about from a dear friend and thought it should be shared by all since it is such a thought provoking story. Please share it with your friends and family as well.

The Little Gold Box

A young man learns what’s most important in life from the guy next door. It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams.

There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.

Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night The funeral is Wednesday.”

Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.

“Jack, did you hear me?”

“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.

“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.

“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.

“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to m ake sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said

“He’s the one who taught me carpentry,” he said. “I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important…Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” Jack said.

As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time.

Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture….Jack stopped suddenly.

“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked..

“The box is gone,” he said.

“What box?” Mom asked.

“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most,’” Jack said.

It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box.. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.

“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said. “I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom.”

It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. “Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days,” the note read.
Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. “Mr. Harold Belser” it read. Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.

“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch.

Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover. Inside he found these words engraved:

“Jack, Thanks for your time! -Harold Belser.”

“The thing he valued most was…my time”

Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” Janet, his assistant asked.

“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.

“Oh, by the way, Janet, thanks for your time!”

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away,”

Think about this. You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true.

Time really does fly by. It's important to spend time with people you love.

Remember:

At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you.
Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep
You mean the world to someone.
If not for you, someone may not be living.
You are special and unique.
When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won’t get it, but if you trust God to do what’s best, and wait on His time, sooner or later, you will get it or something better.
When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it.
When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.
Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
Always tell someone how you feel about them. You will feel much better when they know and you’ll both be happy.
If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

Why Two Heads Are Better Than One

Posted by June Stoyer on October 9th, 2010

Ever wonder why we do things in two’s? Two shoelaces, two eggs, two shoes to go with the two shoelaces, get a second opinion, two of a kind, two weeks notice, two feet to go with those two shoes, two for the price of one, etc.,etc.

As I was sitting in my garden observing the beauty that surrounded me, I noticed how nature demonstrates this in so many ways. Whether it is a pair of Summer Whites (moths) or simply pair of birds playing a game of chase as they soar through the sky, two bees gathering nectar or two flowers that are so close, they appear to be twins! (If you listen carefully, you can hear them whisper, “look at me! I’m here too!”)

Two roses saying hello!

Busy Bees working together to collect nectar from an echinacea flower!

Double the Sunshine!

Everyone has heard that expression, “two heads are better than one,” but what does it really mean? Is it the confirmation that we need to prove that our judgement is sound? Is it that there is power in numbers? Or is it simply that sometimes, it is comforting to know that there is someone else out there that thinks the way you do? How do you feel about the power of two?
