The herbal way - a naturist's way
Return to DiscussionsHi all, i was wondering for quite sometime...that why there is no discussion on herbal way of living. As naturist we need to promote that...or at least practice that, If not fully...partially.
So i am starting this discussion thread where people can share their knowledge on use of natural substances.
Since recent time, I have started using Alloevera gel for shaving as well as after shave. i take a raw leaf from a plant (we have quite a few of them) and keep it in fridge. Every day I cut a small section of it, take out the gel on my palm and rub it on my face before shaving. Though there is no foam but the slippery gel gives enough moist for a smooth shave. after shaving is complete, i wash face and again rub some gel on shaved part.
Aloevera is very good antiseptic. Same way, you can use it on scalp to control dandruff.
Few days back, some of us went for a nude outdoor trip. I did not disclose it at home and left saying that its office tour.As i came back with a noticeable tan on my face and all over...I had to face lot of queries. I just blamed it on the overtly clorinated water of the swimming pool of the hotel where i stayed.
But in such cases, a piece of ripe banana does wonder. To remove tan, rub a piece of ripe banana and leave it for 30 min then rinse it.Do it as soon as you come back from sun. And then once again before bed time. For quicker result, add few drops of lemon juice with the banana pulp.
Well, I know a zillion sketchy claims have been made for marijuana, but it IS a vasodilator; if the mental effects don't get in the way, it will help. Note that a vasodilator, by moving blood to the (various) extremities, can lower core blood pressure, so moderation is important.
We have lots of fresh aloe vera, too, and it's wonderful stuff. We offer it to guests who have gotten sunburnt (ourselves, we've long since gotten over the sun-hunger people have when they travel from cold climates to the tropics). You can layer it on, let it dry, layer on more, and it's very protective. This ONLY works with the gel from the fresh leaf. Aloe is easy enough to grow in a pot on a windowsill; don't settle for bottled stuff.

Ive used aloe vera from freshly cut plants to treat sunburn when I've been in Hawaii--great stuff! Even have a pot of it on a windowsill, which gets put outside during the Summer months.
