Hair restorer
I lost most of my hair 30 years ago but now it is growing again. I use dried herbs both from the shop and my garden.
From the health shop, PUTIPUTIRA dried Arnica Flowers, Organic peppermint, organic rosemary, organic comfrey leaf.
From my garden freshly picked Kawakawa, fresh lemongrass, there is another ingredient in my garden I will take photos tomorrow of my herb garden. Anyway, the above ingredients wrapped in a piece of a sheet.
I use a pot of simmering water and sit a pyrex bowl on top to steam it full the bowl with a good litre or more of olive oil sit the sheet with the herbs inside and simmer for 8 hours, you need to keep topping up the water pot but only want to simmer the oil.
Remove the sheet and boiled material and add beeswax to the olive oil just a 3 or 4 cm block, keep simmering while the beeswax melts.
I remove the oil and beeswax from the heat and using a handheld electric blender blend the mix while still hot and add water as you blend only a small amount of water less than half a cup keep blending into a cream a few minutes does it, cool and use.
I keep mine in the fridge. I did not set out to make hair restorer.
I am making herbal blam for pain but started to put it on my bald spot massaging it in amazing results, after 30 years my hair is growing considerably, not so much at the back because I have not been doing that part but my hair is growing from the sides and closing the middle bald spot eg I have grown a good three or four cm wide strip of thick hair on each side it is growing also in the middle and on my forehead at a slower rate.
With all this good advice I could do well as a local councilor so I am running in Okara Ward Whangarei hence the link below
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
