Scrub with Sugar, Honey, and Tea?! Rinse Repeat!

Did you know that what goes onto our skin, goes into our bodies and thus our bloodstream and internal organs?  It's not just lotion that your putting on, your skin is actually drinking the fluid into itself and ingestion of all the chemicals, or toxins that may be in your cheap dollar store lotion is occurring without you even tasting a thing.  So in reverse you can not only feel the benefits of sugar in your tea as a beverage but also as a quick way to make your own body scrub to cleanse and exfoliate in the shower.  The more natural the product, the more benefits  it has to be ingested by your skin.  Combined with aromatherapy scents, homemade sugar scrubs are a great sensory tool you can make easilier and inexpensively with your child.

How we feel, accept touch, or noperceive someone's brush against can affect our mood, interactions,  and habits.  Regular massage, intimacy, and touch can help regulate your digestion system just as much as putting vegetables and fruits into your mouth.  You are putting sensation into the sensory experience of touch that deeply effects all internal organs, personality traits, and emotional stability.  Without adequate touch, developent of certain attention spans do not occur.

Homeopathic, natural remedies are easier than ever to make and  that can help treat tension, anxiety, depression, create alertness, or sooth and calm down.  I recently made 2 new sugar scrubs and I will have to get the recipe for each to post later, but will be beginning use of my brown sugar scrub and lemon scrub to create an invorgating experience in the shower and then orange tea scrub to calm down and relax at the end of the night!
Brown sugar lemony scrub:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sea salt
1 tablespoon baby oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey

Orange pekoe scrub:
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons tea leaves (orange pekoe or any tea)
1 tablespoon baby oil
1 tablspoon honey

Mix all ingredients until it resembles a paste!  Enjoy, I know I will!
