Welcome to a deep post about a very Ancient, Functional Herb. In case you have suffered from menstrual cramps, uterine cramps resulting from a threatened miscarriage, miscarrying or after delivery pains; you may find it beneficial to discover the ancient, historical abilities of Cramp Bark. This amazing herb, also known as Guelder Rose, Water Elder, European Cranberry bush, and Snowball Tree, boasted many health benefits. It originates from Europe and Asia, and the prominent part employed consists of its bark. I made some the other week, mixed in my favourite Bush Apple Syrup. Interesting decoction, I'll explain at the base how I made it. It was also on a Friday night, I have a post about these wild nights of Tea on the Blog

Muntjac Deers are a regular feature at Ancient Purity, wonder round the back of our place you'll see them, the drive on the country road to us you can see them pop their heads up. It's always a quick moment but it is magic, I never get bored of these unique creatures jumping about. The Muntjac, are a petite deer with short, horn-like antlers, they originate from Asia but has been introduced to both Europe, the Americas and most importantly they are here at Ancient Purity. Life here is very natural and very supernatural and so is the Muntjac, I always took a massive interest in Deers, I just find them such beautiful creatures. But over time here I've wanted to know more about them. At Ancient Purity we've worked on the Feng Shui of the place, we've put real effort into understanding the energy and life around us. So from the Bats, the Birds, the Muntjacs and other animals right outside our door I want to know the meaning on these creatures and our relationship to them, beyond science and reason. This is all my notes, research and thoughts on these animals and why I think it's relevant.

Welcome to the magical world of Acid reflux natural remedies! Why do I say that? because I suffered with this damn problem in the past, even since I got on the super healthy path all those years ago. Trust me it's worse when you're running a health company, giving advice all day, and then you've got occasional acid reflux. It took me ages to eliminate it completely and touch wood I've got it handled now. Now I'm putting multiple options in here, because I advised some people one of these and it worked and they never had it anymore, then I tried 1, 2, 3 or more of them and nothing. At the end I'll explain exactly what worked for me, but more simple things from the list might work for you. It could be a simple, easy change for you and I hope it is.

The benefits of using sea salt in hair care go beyond its association with texturising sprays. Celtic Sea Salt is the purest Salt, totally unprocessed, full of minerals, it's the one to choose. So we will explain why introducing sea salt into regular scalp care, such as through the use of a scrub, can be incredibly beneficial. The rich natural, grey salt particles act as a gentle exfoliant, removing excess oils and build-up from the roots. By its absorbent nature, it also effectively controls excess oil production as a weekly detox. Regular use can improve scalp health, allowing hair to reach full potential. Additionally, massaging sea salt into the roots stimulates blood flow and encourages necessary nutrients and hormones for healthy growth. Enriched with magnesium, potassium, and selenium, sea salt aids in promoting strong and healthy hair growth and clarifying the scalp.

Have you ever come back from a beach vacation with radiant skin and hair, wondering if you could recreate the same effect at home using salt water? TikTok videos suggest that using sea salt water to wash your face could cure acne and give you that fresh-off-the-beach look. However, you may be questioning if salt is safe for your skin and hair. Before you swap your regular face wash for Celtic Sea Salt water, drop your anchor and read on to learn about using salt water on your face and what it can and cannot do. Salt water has been recognised since ancient Egypt for its ability to disinfect and cleanse skin. It can make skin feel smoother and drier, and it can act as a mechanical exfoliant, scrubbing away dead skin cells and absorbing toxins and dirt. Salt water can even improve the appearance of pore size.
