How to make CBD Suppositories “Tampons”

How to make CBD Suppositories / Tampons This recipe is a lifesaver for anyone who isn’t keen on taking chemical meds, and wants direct, on the spot relief as CBD suppositories will give you local muscular relaxation and inflammation relief within around 15-20 minutes. Suppositories are little 'bullets' which can be used internally - meaning, you can either insert them vaginally or rectally (either because you have an issue there or cannot stomach CBD when using it orally). You can also use them topically,by letting them melt on a painful spot and massaging it into your skin. The reason why you wouldn't want to put drops of CBD onto a real tampon is that a tampon is supposed to absorb fluid, and hence will also...

Why Detox at all?

Why Detox at all - Juice Cleanse Green Orange Pink Smoothie Diet Week Body Reset - Raw vegan recipes - holistic wellbeing - Rohtopia
It’s been a while since I have done a juice fast longer than just a few days, so I feel it is time for one once again. Some people would say, if it is so great, why do you have to do it again? Well, you could look at it a bit like one part of your hygienic regime - just as you clean your teeth and wash your body more than once, giving your inside a break every once in a while is a good idea in my opinion. Why detox at all? Yes, of course your body has all the functions and abilities to detox itself, however you can always be supportive or make things harder for your body. Consuming less ideal foods,...

Float Tank: total relaxation for body + mind

I love being in water, especially if it is warm and clear and I can float in it. And I love being relaxed - well, who doesn't, right? (Actually, some people are addicted to drama, but that's a different story). So when I discovered flotation tanks, also known as sensory deprivation tanks, I was super intrigued and booked myself in straight away. What is a flotation tank? Flotation tanks are containers filled with warm, very salty water. So salty actually, that the water is dense enough for you to  ... you guessed it, float! To filter out any noise, the containers close - they are super easy to open again, and the inside is also equipped with some light source that you can control from the...

Soak + Relax: Detox-Bath

If you are amongst the lucky ones who can call a bath tub their own, then you hopefully enjoy soaking in it every now and then. Super relaxing, warming, and lets you sleep like a log afterwards.  Instead of bubble baths though, I prefer to use my own detox bath blend, with sea salt and bicarb soda. Both detox and neutralize your body, and the warmth relaxes your muscles. A detox bath can also soothe itchy skin, help clean and renew your skin, improve its' appearance and soften it (more details below the recipe).  Sometimes I also add essential oils. All in all a whole bunch of positive effects in addition to the feel good factor, and better value for money than store-bought bath salts as...

Why juice instead of blending?

When it comes to the question of juicing vs blending, there are two parties – some are strictly for fresh juices and call smoothies fads, others love nothing more than a creamy smoothie and think little of juicing.
For many, the only difference between smoothies and juices is that a smoothie is creamy and a juice is a thin liquid, but whether there are any advantages or disadvantages in juices or smoothies often seems to be unclear.Beim Thema Saft oder Smoothie spalten sich die Geister – die einen sind strikt für frische Säfte und bezeichnen Smoothies als Modeerscheinung, die anderen lieben nichts mehr als einen cremigen Smoothie und halten wenig von Säften.
Für viele ist der einzige Unterschied zwischen Smoothie und Saft dass ein Smoothie cremig ist und ein Saft dünnflüssig, und ob es sonst noch Vor- oder Nachteile bei Säften bzw Smoothies gibt scheint oft unklar.

Juice Feasting: My personal experience!

This is what I used to look like, every other week, for several years: I was on cortisone steroid medication to suppress these skin rashes for which conventional doctors had no explanation.   Then I discovered juice feasting (read more about what that is in my previous post) and lived on fresh juice for 35 days.

Its benefits have been proven in thousands of scientific health studies.  It’s based entirely on natural medicine and contains absolutely nothing man-made. It’s…
