Pure. Natural. Cures.

"Let your food be your medicine, and let your medicine be your food." Hey there! I'm Ana, I'm a twentysomething and I'm in love with finding natural cures to everyday health and beauty problems. I believe that everyone should know the incredible healing powers of herbs & food. I am successfully healing my fibromyalgia and wish to spread healing knowledge to the world.

I have gone from severe chronic pain and fatigue, to zero chronic fatigue and mild pain. Professionals didn’t listen to me so I had to do my own research. Here are a few things that have given me my life back.

3 ways to kill hay-fever :)

1) Vitamin C

2) Nettle tea

3) Avoid dairy, tomatoes, celery, melons, peaches and alcohol as they can worsen symptoms!

Vitamin c and nettle tea are natural antihistamines, and won’t put you to sleep like some medicines do! 😊

Nut allergies?

Try blending tigernut flour with coconut oil for a delicious nut-free nut spread replacement!

(Remember, acne can be a sign of food intolerances!)

Wonderful advice!

Hemp oil has amazing benefits!

1) Very high in omega 3 and 6 2) Helps skin conditions 3) Yummy nutty flavor 4) Vitamin E, antioxidants!! Hemp oil is best used at room/fridge temperature, drizzle over salads or rub into skin, but do not heat /fry! It does smell nutty so for whole body oil I'd recommend almond or coconut :) I use hemp oil under my eyes at night, they look full of life in the morning!

Scared of your pores? Use Aloe vera!

A thin layer of Aloe vera gel can be used as a primer (on top of moisturizer) to help give you a wonderfully poreless look!

Like makeup? Mix some Aloe with loose powder (translucent or skin tone) for an even longer lasting primer!

Got eczema?

Almond oil is great for eczema, and the sweet oil has a wonderful smell. _________________ Pure Natural Facts ❤

Fibroids are small tumours that most women will develop in their lives

(As requested by the lovely thebanjanjia)

Fibroids develop in the walls of the womb BUT are luckily non cancerous (benign), however sometimes they require surgery. Some foods are said to possibly shrink fibroids but please don’t forget to follow your doctor's instructions, they have a Doctorate, I do not :)

Wholegrains

Soy

Beans

Omega oils (found in many fish and capsules)

Apple cider vinegar

Wholemeal

Green tea

Burdock root tea

Chasteberry tea

Avoid added sugar

Less coffee and alcohol

Less red meat

And of course, organic foods, fruits and vegetables and increase water consumption (enough so your pee is clear like water).

Another key is to avoid foods with added hormones, the unwanted estrogen may affect you.

Look up symptoms of fibrosis on a trusted medical site!

Dull winter skin? New year new skin! Here's how.

Exfoliating your skin too often is bad, I do it about once a week to not damage my skin.

Here is one of my favourite facial scrubs!

1 tablespoon of used ground coffee (NOT hot!)

1 teaspoon of olive oil (or slightly more /less, whatever you prefer)

Apply on wet skin, scrub, then rinse.

The result? Beautiful glowing skin that has been naturally exfoliated and moisturised.

Just remember to rinse enough that you don't smell like coffee ;)

The 1 thing every woman who cares for her skin must do

PREVENTION is better than the cure!

We are plagued by advertising scaring us into buying wrinkle cream the moment we turn 30, but we must take care of our skin before that.

Facial massages, oils, drinking water, vitamin c, staying out of the sun and many more can prevent dry and ageing skin before it happens.

But no matter your age, don’t give up! These can be beneficial to all ages, however the sooner you start, the better.
