That’s awesome to hear you’re noticing a difference with ground flax seeds! Adding chia seeds to your smoothies is a great next step-they’re packed with nutrients and complement flax seeds really well. Let me know how you like them once you give it a try! 👍🏼😊

@@natural_nan yes I will do that, about how long does it take to notice the difference after starting them? And also I have Diverticulosis, so I have to soak them first, so I put some in a cup of water and put it in the refrigerator. I used 1 tbsp, is that an ok amount to start with?

@@natural_nan I gave them a try and they backed me up after just one try, even though I use Miralax every day too, and I also take a Probiotic! So I don’t understand why they did me like that! I soaked 1 tbsp of the chia seeds in 8 oz. of water over night in the fridge and just poured all of that in my smoothie! Now I’m scared to use them any more! Do you have any suggestions or ideas B as to how and keep them from doing me like that? I would greatly appreciate help from anyone!! TIA!!!

I'm sorry to hear that chia seeds didn't work out for you! 🌱 Everyone’s body reacts differently, and sometimes too much fiber too quickly can cause discomfort. It might help to start with smaller amounts and increase gradually while staying hydrated. Have you tried pairing them with other gut-friendly foods? Hope you find something that works better for you! 🙏

@@KEY44449 I have Diverticulosis and just found out I also have Gastroparesis, so my doctor suggested drinking smoothies,so I starting drinking them and putting Flax seeds in them, and it has made a huge difference in my bowel movements (sorry to talk about that, but I couldn’t think of any other way to say it) 🤷‍♀️Anyway, so I’m gonna start putting Chia seeds in them now, but I hope I get great results from those as well! Wish me luck! And I hope this info helps you as well! Oh I purchased the ground Flax seeds, and they work great, you can’t taste them or tell they’re even in your smoothie!

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

That’s fantastic to hear! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, and I can’t wait to see what delicious dishes you’ll make with it next. Let me know what you end up using it in!

Great question! 😊 Tea tree oil can help with dental health over time, but results vary depending on what you're using it for. Some people notice fresher breath and reduced plaque within a week, but if you're looking to support gum health, it may take a few weeks of consistent use. Just remember to dilute it well and avoid swallowing! Let us know how it works for you!

Thanks for sharing, and I completely understand your concern. With a hair-pulling disorder, it's still possible for your eyelashes to grow back, but frequent pulling can weaken the hair follicles over time, potentially slowing or even stopping regrowth in some cases. Giving your lashes a chance to go through their natural growth cycle could help them come back fuller. You might also want to connect with a healthcare provider for additional support in managing hair pulling and helping your lashes grow back!

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that the baking soda worked for you, but I totally understand how it might cause a bit of discomfort if you have a sensitive scalp. It's always a good idea to do a patch test before applying anything to your scalp to ensure you don't experience irritation. If you ever feel discomfort, it's best to rinse it out immediately. Glad to hear the soreness wasn't permanent! Have you tried any soothing remedies afterward, like aloe vera or coconut oil?

Thank you for sharing your experience @VernsJohnson! Baking soda doesn’t work the same way for everyone, as skin types and conditions vary. If you’re noticing issues, it could be helpful to reduce the frequency of use, adjust the concentration, or pair it with a soothing ingredient like honey or aloe vera. Also, be sure to moisturize afterward to prevent dryness. Let me know more about your routine, and I’d be happy to suggest adjustments! 😊

Elbow grease means hard work by using ur hands and elbow since it involves a lot of whisking. It doesn't mean any kind of fat/grease

Thanks for your question! Baking soda can help with lightening hair and removing product buildup, but it might not be effective at fully removing bleach or color from your hair. Since bleached hair is more porous and delicate, using baking soda could potentially cause dryness or damage. It's best to use gentle hair treatments, like clarifying shampoos, or consult a professional for color removal to ensure the health of your hair. If you're looking to repair bleached hair, deep conditioning treatments can help restore moisture and prevent damage.

If your apple cider vinegar expired 5 years ago, it should still be safe to use, provided it has been stored properly (in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat). Apple cider vinegar generally has an indefinite shelf life, even past its expiration date. Over time, it may lose some of its potency or change in appearance, but this doesn’t make it harmful. The most important thing is to check for any unusual changes in smell or appearance (such as mold or an off odor). If it looks and smells fine, it’s likely still good to use!

Baking soda can sometimes cause a slight burning or tingling sensation, especially if it's left on the skin for too long or if your skin is sensitive. This is why it's important to follow the recommended usage guidelines and to avoid overuse. If you experience discomfort, it may be helpful to rinse it off immediately and try it less frequently or with a more diluted paste. Always do a patch test on a small area of your skin before using it on your face, especially if you have sensitive skin.

You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful. 😊

Shalom! 😊 So glad you’re enjoying it-it does have a pleasant scent! ❤❤❤

Great question and thank you for asking! You can soak chia seeds at room temperature or in the refrigerator. If you soak them at room temperature, they'll absorb water more quickly, but refrigerating them can help keep them fresh and prevent any unwanted fermentation if you're soaking them for an extended period. Either way works, so choose what fits your routine best! I personally wouldn't leave them soaking for longer than a few hours at room temperature just to avoid any bacteria/food safety issues. 2-3 hours should be just fine at room temperature, but anything longer, it is better to keep it in the fridge.

For 1.5 cups of organic olive oil, you'll need about 1 cup of grated fresh ginger root to infuse the oil effectively! 😊

The homemade clove oil can generally last for about 1 to 2 months if stored in a cool, dark place. Just make sure to keep it in a sealed container to prevent oxidation. Always check for any changes in smell or appearance before using it, and if you're unsure, it’s best to make a fresh batch. 😊

To toast 1/2 tablespoon of cloves, you should aim for about 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat. Keep an eye on them and stir occasionally to prevent burning. You’ll know they’re ready when they become fragrant! 😊

Baking soda may not be effective for skin tags, especially on sensitive areas like eyelids. It's best to consult with a dermatologist for safe and appropriate treatment options! 😊

Baking soda can lighten hair, but it might not remove caramel or blonde tones effectively. It can strip color, but results can vary based on your hair type and the dye used. If you're looking to change your hair color, consider consulting a professional for the best results! 😊

That sounds like a great combination! Castor oil and baking soda can work well together to help with acne and dryness. I'm glad to hear it's been beneficial for your daughter! Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊
