Review of The Etheric Weaver

 Introduction:

There are many tools and gadgets that are available that purport to heal and help a person. As someone who has been interested in health and well-being for a long time, I have had the opportunity to experience a really easy to use yet powerful crystal called an Etheric Weaver. I have suffered with asthma for around 20 years, and wanted to get off the medication that was needed to control the symptoms. Whilst the medicine helped control the disease, I knew it wasn't really healing the cause - it was masking the symptoms. This understanding led me to trying out the Etheric Weaver.

About the product:

The Buddha Maitreya Etheric Weaver^® is a simple to use healing tool and can be used by anyone for deep meditation, self-healing and healing others. Simply hold by the teardrop, and let the crystal hang like a pendulum over your hand or the area being treated. Relax and clear your mind and allow the Etheric Weaver^® to begin moving gently on its own as it works to calm, heal and align to the Soul - radiating the vitality of one's attunement to God. The crystals are available in a variety of colors and you simply choose the color that you are attracted to - it's as simple as that.

How I tested the product:

Well, I have been using this particular healing tool for a long time now. It is part of my daily care program that I use whether I am sick or not. I simply hold the crystal over my lung area and allow it to move. Sometimes I hold it over my hand and the really interesting thing is that I can often feel heat and tingles in my body. This has been explained to me as a movement of chi or vitality and is similar in concept to acupuncture where tiny needles are placed along specific meridian points to increase the person's own vitality. This in turn can lead to healing of ailments, pain, emotional disorders to name a few.

Pros:

• Easy to use, does not require any specific knowledge or interpretative skills.
• It works! I have had an 80% improvement in my lung function - verified by my decreased use of medication and improved breathing.
• Easy to order with an excellent website that details exactly how to use the etheric weaver as well as customer care service, both online or by calling in.
• Many testimonials to support the healing efficacy of this product.

Cons :

None - this powerful crystal has done more for me and my lungs than I could have hoped for. With regular use my symptoms are kept at bay. Remember though you do have to use it, not just leave it in the box!

I give it 5 stars out of 5.

A Review of Mambino Youth Glow Omega Face Complex

Introduction

My complexion has a tendency to be dry and sensitive to many products. I have monthly flare-ups with areas of breakouts that can be quite painful. Recently I tried a new product to help combat the dryness and soothe the inflammation. I was looking for something that would moisturize my skin without causing oiliness that would lead to more breakouts.

About the product:

Youth Glow by Mambino Organics is designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It contains rosa mosqueta, evening primrose and sea buckthorn and is high in essential fatty acids which nourishes the skin. The product describes itself as " revealing fresher, smoother and more radiant looking skin."

How I tested the product:

I have been using it for one month now.

Pros

• Does not irritate my sensitive skin.
• Certified organic ingredients.
• Pleasant smell - although for people who like fragrance free the aroma might be too strong. I am sensitive to many perfumes but I really like this. It has an orange/rose aroma.
  
• Reasonably priced - cost me $24 and as you only need a couple of drops the 1 fl oz bottle should last as long as most serums. In my opinion you don't need a serum with this product and you may not need a moisturizer on top, although I still use a moisturizer in addition to this product.

Cons

• I don't know that any of the ingredients specifically target anti-aging as do many serums that are currently on the market.
• The scent might irritate some.

Conclusion

I like this product and was quite impressed that it did not cause any more breakouts. I used it on inflamed areas and it did not irritate. I feel the product lives up to its promise of calming sensitive skin. It actually feels like it has healing properties too and the ingredients look good. My skin feels moisturized hours after I have applied it. I am happy with my purchase.

I give it 4.5 stars out of 5. Anything that calms my skin is good in my book.

An alternative to False Teeth?

I read an interesting article today in The Guardian.co.uk about a procedure that holds promise in growing new teeth. This could offer a viable alternative to dentures and considering that the average Briton has lost up to 12 teeth by the age of 50, there would seem be no shortage of takers.

Review of Bach Flower Rescue Remedy

I have used Bach flower remedies for many years now. There are 38 different Flower Essences that work to correct emotional imbalances, replacing negative emotions with positive ones. In this review I am going to write about "Rescue Remedy".
Rescue Remedy is actually a combination of 5 different flower essences and has been specifically created to be used in stressful or traumatic moments. For example, before taking an exam, or after getting bad news, before a job interview, those situations where we lose our emotional and mental balance and can feel off kilter.
Please refer to Bach Flower Remedy website for more in-depth information. Here you will also be able to read about Dr. Edward Bach , the founder and creator of these amazing essences.

About the product:

The essences are made from spring water that has been infused with wild flowers. The remedies work at a vibrational level to help restore equilibrium to the emotional body. Consider that every living thing emits a vibration, and then think about the vibration or essence that certain flowers and plants have. How does it feel to be around flowers? How does it feel when someone gives you flowers? What effect does the scent of certain plants have upon your senses? How do the different colors effect you?
When we feel out of sorts , our bodies and minds are essentially out of balance. The theory is that using certain vibrational remedies such as Bach Flower Remedies can help to address the imbalance, by restoring a positive in place of the negative. So for example if you woke up one morning feeling anxious, then the positive expression of anxiety would be calmness. There is essentially a flower remedy that can help balance this emotion. For further insights about healing the emotions click here.

How I tested the product :

I first came across the products over 14 years ago, and Rescue Remedy has become a staple in my medicine cabinet. I use it whenever I get uneasy feelings, or when am nervous . I have used it to great effect when I want to wind down before bed. I use it for my child if he gets nervous before an exam, and when he was little I used to give it to him if he got scared. I find it to be a subtle yet highly effective remedy for me . If I have butterflies in my stomach, or feel agitated I take a few drops of the remedy in water and gently I can feel the unease lifting. It's a totally holistic and natural way to address emotional upsets and has zero side effects.

Pros :

• Available in a spray bottle , a dropper bottle , pastilles and an alcohol- free formula suitable for kids or people who need to avoid any alcohol whatsoever. (Otherwise the essence is in a small amount of brandy as a preserver).
• Available in a cream formula called Rescue Remedy Cream that can be used on external traumas such as bruises, cuts, sprains, rashes etc.
• Readily available online or in health stores.
• Non -habit forming, promotes the body to self heal.
• Has a good website with plenty of information
  
• Easy to take, can be used on plants and animals too!

Cons :

None in my opinion. This remedy is the real deal.

Conclusion :

Safe, gentle, natural, homeopathic....it works! Carry one in your purse and use it whenever life throws its curve balls at you. I have found that it relieves stress, fear, anxiety, anger, impatience.... those conditions that are universal in all of us from time to time. It is perfectly safe for children, animals, plants, pregnant women, sick people. It won't contradict any other medications or vitamins/herbs you may be on.
I give this product 5 stars out of 5 because for me it has worked wonderfully well. I love the philosophy behind it and it fits in with the way I want to live my life.... healthily!

Review of Tweezerman Slant Tweezers

Wow, these are the best tweezers I have ever used. If you can feel or see a hair then these tweezers will grab it and pull it out, even tiny ones that are just breaking the surface. I got the slant ones, as I felt they would be better/safer for my hands when plucking hairs than the pointed ones. I have not been disappointed and consider these a staple of my beauty care box.


About the product :

Tweezerman tweezers. Use for extracting stray hairs, eyebrows, removing splinters.....

How I tested the product :

I bought these two weeks ago from our local health store, as I had lost my other tweezers. I had heard of tweezerman before, and felt it was time to invest in a pair. I have used the tweezers for tidying up my brows and they are easy to use, and pretty pain free. My previous tweezers were not anywhere near as effective, and often times I ended up gouging my skin with the tips as they were not so precise, especially on shorter hairs. Most tweezers seem to work ok on long hairs as there is something to grab, but fair badly when working on the shorter regrowth hairs. Tweezerman tweezers are perfect for these pesky stubby hairs that grow back, finally a tool that works for me!

Pros :

• easy to use/easy to clean
• comes with a plastic cap to cover the pointy ends when not in use
• readily found at drugstores, health stores, online
• handy information leaflet explaining the best way to pluck hairs
• pretty economical considering the excellent guarantee that comes with the product. Mine cost $20 from local health store. The guarantee states that they will sharpen the tools that have become dulled through normal use for FREE. They also pledge to replace damaged /dropped tools for half the purchase price. Bent tips can be repaired for $5. There are no S/H charges. Pretty good deal I think.

Cons:
Honestly can't think of any. If any come up with further use , I will post but right now I am really happy with my purchase.

Conclusion:
I give this product 5 stars out of 5! I recommend you get a set for your beauty/medicine box, you won't be disappointed.

Review of Deodorant Crystal Roll-On

Introduction

You probably are aware of the dangers that regular deodorants containing aluminum pose to health. Over the years there has been much educational material published regarding this. Click here for more information regarding dangers of aluminum salts in deodorants and especially the link to breast cancer.

I have not used deodorants containing aluminum for years, and over the course of time have tried many different healthy alternatives , with varying results of efficacy. The latest one I have tried is:

About the product:

It's called "Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal Roll-On." Its a liquid roll-on deodorant, with clear, salty liquid in it. You roll it on and let it dry.

How I tested the product:

I have been using it once every day for the last 4 months now.

Pros

• great value - cheap, lasts a long time. One bottle cost me around $5 in the health food store.
  
• nontoxic - it has only 5 ingredients
  
• effective - It works well at stopping odor.
  
• non-greasy - it has a light feeling on the skin, doesn't seem to clog pores much
• non-staining - no white stuff to get on clothes
• no strong scent - I am pretty sensitive to perfumes and bought this deodorant because it says it is fragrance -free. However, I find it to have a faint flowery smell, it is not irritating or chemically smelling though and doesn't bother me.
  
  

Cons

• not heavy-duty - it goes on light, so it doesn't stand up to heavy exercise as well as some deodorants .
  
• has slight scent , although its supposed to be scentless
• takes time to dry - you may find yourself fanning your armpits to get them to dry faster.
• loooong name - the name of the product is long, generic, hard to remember, and hard for people to search for due to how generic it is.
  

Conclusion

Overall I think this product works well, and I know it isn't going to harm me as it contain no harmful aluminums or parabens and is made with pharmaceutical grade mineral salts. Its very cheap and lasts a long time. This is great value being inexpensive, nontoxic, and does the job for me. I give it my recommendation.

I give it 4.5 Stars out of 5. Its not perfect, but it's good enough, safe, and cheap.

Where to buy it:
Health store, online.

Review of Buttoneer

The Buttoneer is basically a cheap, flimsy version of the device clothing stores use to attach those little plastic tags that hold on price tags and hold pairs of socks together, with a few differences. While that sounds like a great idea, the Buttoneer uses tags that are so tiny and flimsy they are practically useless. The tiny tags are so weak they pull out with the slightest effort, making them inadequate for holding a button on. They might be useful for attaching buttons to doll clothing, or perhaps shirt collars or some other place that doesn't require the button to actually hold anything in place. For buttons that actually have to hold something close, the Buttoneer is completely useless, as the buttons pull out with the slightest force. Its hard to see how the designers even thought this device could work, since the plastic tabs are so tiny and weak. Anyone who has tried the Buttoneer can see its completely useless, so either the people selling it have never even tried the thing, or they're intentionally selling a useless product.
The sad thing is, that using plastic tabs to hold on buttons is actually a pretty good idea, and the Buttoneer could probably hold buttons on securely if the device were not so poorly designed. If they just made the plastic tabs as strong as the ones used in clothing stores this would probably be a great product. Unfortunately, they used cheap, tiny, ineffective plastic tabs instead, making this product totally useless for anything except ripping off unsuspecting consumers lured in by those late-night TV commercials
