Haha. You sound really really educated about this kind of stuff.

I think people are being criticiced for seeking diet advice because in my expierence with Yahoo Answers alot of the people are Underweight already and still they want to lose more weight. When you thing about it there are 11 and 12 year olds on this site wanting to know if the Master Cleanse or drinking grapefruit juice all day will help them lose weight.

And usually people are not shunned for asking for diet advice when they actually need it. Like if there overweight or obese, buy yeah that happens a lot. People tend to lecture people on stuff like that because it’s preventable. Just like obesity is, however there are more questions that pertain more to low weight.

Just my opinion :]
And yes, I agree with everything you said.

At least in the UK, it seems to have started in the early 1990s.

I had a look in NewsBank (the UK and Ireland online newspaper archive), and until around 1992 there were several dozen hits in papers a year, all using it in the trad scientific sense. Then over about a decade it creeps up to 2000+ hits, either using it to refer to general pollutants or (mostly) the fictitious poisons that “detoxifying” is alleged to remove.

Well, you shouldn’t smoke pot in the first place. It only gives you a false sense that you’re happy and okay and that your life isn’t like it really is. Quit smoking it. Maybe if you start joining more clubs and really, really, trying to socialize, you might feel it lot better. Good luck!

Chloe Adisson answers:

OK great question—I happen to be an expert on aromatherapy.

First let’s review the definition of AROMATHERAPY: massage of body or face using preparations of fragrant essential oils extracted from fruits, herbs, or flowers. Aromatherapy also includes INHALING these fragrances for health and wellness. You ask for “aromatherapy blend recipes” which is pretty general. Better to ask what your PURPOSE is? Do you plan to use it for massage oils, giving facials, a beauty foot treatment, or for inhalation like making candles or in a diffuser? Keep in mind some essential oils clash and are NOT CHEMICALLY compatible! Be careful. Also be aware of allergic reactions. Having said that, do not (and I repeat DO NOT) use synthetic or “fake” essential oil fragrances. The health and beauty benefits only happen with true, genuine essential oils.

Remember “aromatherapy” is based on and around ESSENTIAL OILS themselves. So the more knowledge you gain about them is basically what will help you determine, choose, or create your perfect recipes. Aromatherapy works by application on the skin (such as massage or facial) or can be inhaled (as in aromatherapy candles or diffusers). For example, my dentist used a Lavender Essential Oil diffuser on my first visit, when I had to have major dental work done—it was simply amazing how calm and wonderful it made me feel. PLUS it smelled simply heavenly!

In your search for recipes, you need to consider your primary reason for how your blended recipes will be used. Will you use them for massage body oils? Are you thinking of facials? Will you use them for making diffuser blends to be inhaled? Determine THAT before you begin your search, then visit a number of websites that offer “therapeutic grade” essential oils. Also, keep in mind, pure essential oils are usually FAR too potent to use directly on the skin. Most “carrier” oils suit the bill here. Jojoba is my favorite but Grape Seed Oil or even Olive Oil are good carrier oil bases. Many websites offer research articles on scientific studies about the healing properties of essential oils like: which oils blend best together, whatever ailment(s) being sought to alleviate, or of well-being you’re trying to achieve.

There are a myriad of excellent websites out there. Explore some and see what works best for you. However, I can personally recommend two, which I have used for many years. They are both reliable, reputable, and reasonable basic sources for information and products and you’ll see them in my “Source” referenced where I give credit.

As for aromatherapy, that will depend upon your skin type.

If you email me your skin type [oily, dry, or other] I can send you some aromatherapy recipes for your skin.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Crush 2 tablespoons of dried mint leaves and blend with 1/2 cup coarse salt for scented bath salts. Can substitute dried rose petals, honeysuckle flowers, lavender buds, chopped lemon rind, etc. Also try borax powder or epsom salts instead of salt, for different effect.

Make body oil using 2 ounces dried herbs* and 1 pint vegetable oil (grapeseed oil works well). Chop herbs very fine, place in glass container and add just enough oil to cover. Heat oil for about 5 hours at about 80 degrees F. Use a slow cooker set at lowest temp, a double boiler, gas oven with pilot light, or outdoors in sun. (Sun takes 2 to 3 days, depending on ambient temperature.) Put oil through a fine kitchen strainer, pressing out with the back of a spoon. If necessary, re-strain using a paper coffee filter. Stored in a cool place, herbal oil will keep several months; stored in the fridge, even longer.

*Lavender, chamomile, chickweed and calendula are good for skin. Rose is good for mature skin. Rosemary is stimulating. Basil is soothing for cramps, especially digestive. Fennel seed is good for PMS.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Aromatherapy uses essential oils extracted from nature’s herbs and flowers. The aroma is inhaled, or applied to the skin, and each of the oils (or combination thereof) addresses a specific disorder. It appears that the body is able to utilize the healing properties of the oils through the olfactory system of the body, and so initiate the healing process. Aromatherapy practitioners would also have an understanding of the psychological and emotional factors of illness.

This website has some great information, recipes and articles about Aromatherapy.

Chloe Adisson answers:

I don’t see any way in which these very vague symptoms could be related to liver disease. Perhaps you became scared after reading something about liver detox? Sorry, but there simply is no justification for detoxification.

Chloe Adisson answers:

The liver takes toxins that our body makes or that
come into the body and converts them to a non
toxic form that the body can easily dispose of.

Let take alcohol, as an example.
The liver usings it’s cells enzymes, will convert
alcohol first into acetaldehyde, then into acetate,
and then into CO2 and water.

What happens when a person consumes too much
alcohol, the liver cannot convert it fast enough pass
the first stage and it becomes toxic to the liver cells
and can cause damage to them.
This is an example of a possible toxin coming into
the body.

Now for an example of a toxin made in the body.
When we use proteins in our body, a byproduct is
formed. That is ammonia. The liver would normally
take this ammonia and convert it in urea for the kidneys
to pick up and remove it from the body in the urine.
People who have liver disease where the cells of the
liver have died off, this function doesn’t happen
efficiently and so the ammonia stays in the blood and
goes into the brain and causes confusion and disorientation.

So, you can see that the liver handles toxins in the body.
…..
When we eat, the foods are broken down into fats,
carbohydrates, and proteins (amino acids). These
are absorbed into the blood from the intestines and
go to the liver. Our cells use glucose as its main
source of energy. So, the liver will supply this
glucose to the body, even by converting the carbohydrates
first, the proteins second and the fats third into glucose.
If the cells have enough energy, the liver will then convert
the glucose into glycogen and be stored in the liver till
it is needed. It is converted back to glucose when the
cells need more energy (usually between meals)

Chloe Adisson answers:

Total poppycock. The liver is the organ that deals with toxins, you cannot detoxify it! Unfortunately the whole concept of detox is an urban myth. It is based solely on the irrational rants of constipated Edwardians who refused to eat vegetables as the considered them food only fit for the lower classes to consume. As a result they had little option but to spend their time taking laxatives and purgatives and giving themselves enemas. Provided you have not already done too much damage to your body, your liver and kidneys will deal with problem of removing toxins from your body, as that was what they were designed to do. After that, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life and you can start afresh.

Dandelion tea works wonders on a sluggish liver (the primary filtering organ of the body), gall bladder (which produces bile to assist the digestion of fatty foods) and spleen ( an organ producing new red blood cels), and it also encourages bowel action and reduces fluid retention. Drinking Dandelion tea is one of the most effective ways to detox your body, because it stimulates digestive enzymes and bile to allow the easier metabolism of fatty foods.

Dandelion leaves, alfalfa, aspargus, celery and vitamin B6 can all work as natural diuretics.

Dandelion tea is excellent for ridding the body of excess fluid because, as the tea leaves contain high amounts of potassium, the body is not depleted of this important mineral through the diuretic effect of the tea?

Ensure, for therapeutic purposes, that you buy organic Dandelion leaf as the commercial or teabag varieties have had so much of their essential oils pulverised from them. Another reason to use organic is one of the properties of the Dandelion plant is to absorb metal pollutants from the atmosphere ~ as such organic really is essential. Add honey to taste if you like as the taste can be quite bitter ….. Or lemons or limes if you like the tartness?;

2 – 3 teaspoons per teapot would be sufficient?By buying the organic variety, the essential oils are still so potent that the spent leaves could be reused 2 – 3 times ~ simply refill the pot with hot water and rebrew for 15 – 20 minutes.?

Limit your intake of Dandelion tea to a period of say 2 – 3 weeks at a time …….. Have rest periods in between using it ?

Perhaps this link may be of use to you ~

http://www.detoxaustralia.com.au/supplementing_your_diet.htm

Water, water water …. Ensure that you also hydrate your body properly with at least 2 – 3 litres of water per day as nothing substitutes for pure fresh water?

Try to cut back on dehydrating drinks such as coffee, tea, sodas and soft drinks and alcohol (if you drink any of these) as they will not only dehydrate you terribly but also rob you of your essential B complex of vitamins.

Take a multi B complex supplement also…. To support healthy immune, neural and digestive functioning…… Great for bolstering your body to deal with life’s every day stressy situation …. Get one including all the B’s ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 andB12 etc. As they all work best as a group. Don’t buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group, unless specifically told to do so buy a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath ?

Please also ensure that you consult with a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath or herbalist before using Dandelion herb if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and do not use on infants or young children ?

Try to cut out all junky and pre packaged foods and eat food as freshly and as close to its natural state as you possibly can…… Pump your intake of leafy and green vegies (rich in magnesium and foods rich in magnesium will help to bolster healthy nerve and muscle functioning thus aiding in any issues with constipation you may have), vegies, fresh fruits, wholegrain cereals and breads, cold water fishes (also rich in magnesium) and organic lean meats ?

Hope this info helps you a bit?

Good health to you & yours?

Chloe Adisson answers:

The best (and easiest and cheapest!) thing you can do is to eat a diet of at least 75% raw foods. (Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fresh juices, lots of filtered water.)

Keep the colon clean to facilitate toxin elimination from the liver: Eating plenty of raw fibrous vegetables, like carrots, celery and cauliflower, will sweep out your colon nicely.

Foods high in Vitamin K (leafy greens, alfalfa sprouts) are especially beneficial.

Eat plenty of raw almonds, Brazil nuts, coconut, walnuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds. These contain arginine, an amino acid which helps to detoxify ammonia, a by-product of protein digestion which accumulates in the liver.

Avoid processed foods, red meat, alcohol, caffeine and medications where possible.

Vomiting only?
The peptobismol route is pretty safe, I thiink but if it happened to me personally, I would do the cornstarch and 7up home remedy first. It consists of 1 tbsp of clean fresh cornstarch ( not from the open box to deodorize the fridge) in a cup and 1/2 cup of 7 up. Drink while still fizzling.

Others are telling me that the fresh sliced ginger and a spoonful of honey is better. Pour half a cup of hot water on those , stir and drink while hot.

By now you can tell that people have their favorite remedies.

If diarrhea comes into the picture, the remedy is different too.

Most people simply chew on antiacids such as tums for an upset stomach.

Chloe Adisson answers:

If her fever doesn’t respond to the Motrin, you could always give acetaminophen (Tylenol) on top of that. The active ingredients aren’t the same, so it’s safe to use both of them. I would wait a couple of hours after giving the motrin though. A temp. Of 102 or 103 is not unsafe for her, unless she has a history of febrile seizures. Fever does not indicate how sick your child is, only that she is fighting an infection. If her fever lasts for more than a day or two or gets very high (over 104) then I would insist she be seen.
