Dr. Hauschka Treatments at the Wishing Well

Coming THIS FRIDAY MORNING to the Wishing Well. Special Dr. Hauschka Treatments with goodies to take home. For more details ask at the Wishing Well.

Mmmm, raw honey from the Bariani Family Farm north of Sacramento. Their bees feed throughout the year from their olive flowers and wild flowers, and it, along with everything else, is on sale right now! 

We have new soap!

This soap smells so fresh and clean and the grainy salt gives you just the right amount of scrubbing.

This very gentle and nourishing white mallow skin care line from Weleda contains extracts of pansy and white mallow, as well as borage seed, sesame and coconut oils. It has been endorsed by the National Eczema Association and we're told it's excellent for treating cradle cap. 

Weleda has several  new lines of hair care products, all free of heavy silicones, harsh sulfates, and synthetic preservatives and fragrances.  Besides smelling heavenly, the oat, millet and wheat strengthen strands, improve their structure and leave hair incredibly soft, shiny and manageable. 

 

Just in! Super soft, organic, woolen underwear that adds warmth without bulk. Great for small children who are always trying to peel off layers even when it's cold out. Are your hands and feet always freezing? We can order these in adult sizes too. 

Kathleen Van Deusen of Petal Holistic Skin Care will be at the Wishing Well, Friday May 10, from 10AM - 2PM. Kathleen will be holding free 20 minute mask workshops for people who want to understand their skin type better and how to use masks. Complimentary foot massages included!

Ah....Lice. All we can say is don't panic. They are actually very easily dealt with. You just need patience and a good quality lice comb. If you suspect your kids have lice, just run the comb through their hair to find out for certain. If you find lice you will want to work section by section, carefully combing through small amounts of wet hair with the comb as close to the scalp as possible. If you can still see any nits afterward (tiny white tear drop shapes on the hair shafts close to the scalp) you can scrape them off with a finger nail. Once you have done this initial, careful combing of the whole head you will want to repeat again every two or three days for two weeks to catch the whole lousy life cycle. This is a much better, more reliable, and safer option than using chemical treatments which are toxic and do not kill nits. Once you've gotten rid of the bugs, you should run a lice comb through your kids' hair weekly just to check, as a preventative measure. 

Complementing the combing sessions with applications of Dr. Hauschka's Neem Hair Oil can also help deter lice. 

For more than you ever wanted to know about lice and their speedy removal, including instructional videos, you can go to www.headlice.org.

If you want someone to come to your house to give you a tutorial in person and/or do the combing for you, the Hair Angels are an excellent local company. This is the company that performs the lice checks at our school. You can find them at www.thehairangels.com

And by the way, The Hair Angels do not recommend going overboard with washing everything in your house multiple times. Some light vacuuming of sofas, and a wash of the bedding with the first combing should be sufficient in most cases, as lice cannot survive long away from their food source....the human head! Ewww!  

This terrific book, available at the Wishing Well, contains all kinds of fascinating information about health and beauty as well as delicious recipes. 

Kathleen Van Deusen of Petal Holistic Skin Care will be at the Wishing Well on Friday, May 11, from 9am to 1pm. Call or stop by to sign up for her Radiant You Skin Care workshop.

Happy Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice, also known as midsummer’s eve, marks the longest day and thus shortest night of the year, when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is most inclined towards the Sun, our source of light.
