			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WORRIED ABOUT THE INFLUENZA??</p>
<p>A lot of people are. Id like to add some common sense suggestions about keeping our immune systems in good shape, which, in turn, makes ones suseptibility to Flu and other illnesses less of an issue.</p>
<p>I know this is an unpopular stance, but the foundations for a healthy immune system are low cost items like: getting adequate rest, eating good food on a regular basis, and keeping hydrated.  Understanding how to recognize ones wellness and what brings one joy is also a fundamental part of a strong immune system.</p>
<p>What I mean by this is, we are so well versed in “ways we feel wrong” that many people overlook how to know they are fine. We are so sensitive to ways we are unhappy or offended etc, we forget to notice and appreciate things that make us feel loved, or calm, or just bring us a moment of joy.</p>
<p>I say this is unpopular because, even as you read this, you may be thinking: “yeah, yeah, but what should I be <em>taking</em>? What will I do?? I have to go here, do this, be on a bus/plane etcetc” When you get out of your own way with all the doings and takings, you may find your body actually is a very resiliant and clever vehicle and it has lots of mechanisms to keep harmfull bacteria, viruses and parasites moving out of</p>
<p>your system with minimal damage. So please, take an extra moment to really think about ways you can apply the prinicipals I just mentioned to help your body do its job of keeping you alive and well, before skipping to the “What to Take “ list.</p>
<p>WHAT TO TAKE:</p>
<p>Air. Breathe in deeply, slowly, several times periodically. The panic and anxiety of the situation often causes us to hold our breathe or breathe in a shallow way, which also hinders health. Reduce your intake of refined sugars, caffiene, and alcohol, because of these also keep you in a more nervous state and weaken your immunity.</p>
<p>HERBAL HELPERS:  <strong>FAQ: <em>How do I know which one of these options is right for me? </em></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Answer: Really, they are all wonderfull. Pick whichever resonates, or try one and </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>see how you feel, or try the one you already heard of.. ie: you cant pick a “ wrong” </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>option here, so read on, and get a feeling for it all&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>TINCTURES ( Herbal concentrates) </strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Echinacea</span></strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">:</span><strong> </strong>Because one of its functions is to help increase the amount of Leucocytes, or white “defender” cells, this is a good thing to take for those who are worried about thier immune systems ability to fend off the bad guys. Echinacea also helps to keep the lymph nodes clear and operating optimally, which is important as well. Dosis: <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Echinacea tincture</span></strong> can be taken a dropperfull or a capfull or a half teaspoon in some water, 2 or 3  times a day for the next seven days or so.</p>
<p>I would not take <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Echinacea with goldenseal</span></strong> ( sello de Oro compuesto) unless you <em>Actively</em> have symptoms of flu, or sore throat , or respiratory stuff.</p>
<p>We also carry echinacea in the <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Capsulas para el Sistema Imunitaria</span></strong> , another good option: two capsules 2 or 3 times a day to keep up immune function.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Astragaulus</span></strong><strong>: </strong>Tincture, same dosage as the Echinacea. Astragalus enhances the bodys own “ natural killer cells” and restores t-cell count and immune function in clinical studies ( Buhner, <em>Herbal Antibiotics</em> 1999 ) Its a wonderful immune enhancer and anti-viral.</p>
<p>We also carry <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Astragalus Compuesto</span></strong>, a tincture which combines Astragalus with <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Pau d Arco</span></strong> ( another wonderful anti-viral and immune function booster also available as a single tincture) ) Red clover, burdock, and dandelion ( blood cleansers and alkalinizers) ginseng and shisandra. Dosage: A dropperfull, or a capfull, or a teaspoon in water after meals twice a day for ten days or so.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Olive Leaf and Lomatium</span></strong>: Is another excellent immune enhancer, anti-viral, And anti-bacterial as well as cleansing and supportive of lymph system. Excellent Or swollen or sore throats, flus, or prevention. Dosage: Same as the other stuff-A dropperfull, a capfull or a teaspoon in water, 2 to 3 times a day for 10 days or so.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Garlic ( Ajo) : </span></strong>Is one of the most extensively studied herbs in the world: passes the tests as an excellent immune stimulant as well as anti-bacterial, anti-viral, Etcetc. Eat it raw, or try our tincture- doasage: 10 to 50 drops in water 2 times a day.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Shisandra or Shisandra Compuesto: </span></strong>The compuesto has lots of extra immune enhancing helpers in it, like vitamin C rich <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Rosehips,</span></strong> ( <em>scaramujo</em>. Also sold separately if you prefer) <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">, Elder blossoms</span></strong> ( <em>sambuco,</em> specific anti-viral flu remedy as well as immune supportive and also sold separately  if you prefer)</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Colloidal Silver</span></strong><em> (plata coloidial) </em> Echinacea, Guapilla, and Astragalus round out the mix. Or the Shisandra by itself. Dosage: a dropperfull, capfull or teaspoon in water 2 to 3 times daily.</p>
<p>CAPSULES:</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p>For those who do not like tinctures or drops, we have the <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Capsulas Immunitarias</span></strong> Which are helpfull to rebuild the immune function and tone the supportive organs as well as work as a “ natural antibiotic”: These contain Echinacea, Astragalus, Shisandra, Pau d Arco, Usnea, Oregano and Myrrh. Dosage: 2 caps 2-3 times a day</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Pau d Arco and Oregano capsules: </span></strong>Two pills just once or twice a day as a preventative, or 2 caps 3 or 4 times a day if youve got a flu or respiratory or throat thing.</p>
<p>AROMATHERAPY:</p>
<p>You cant beat essential oils in general for thier concentrated efficiency in killing all sorts of bacteria, virus and microbes as well as for stimulating the bodies own defenses. I do <em>not</em> reccomend them for internal use. They are for EXTERNAL use. 3 to 10 drops in your infusor, in a spray bottle with 4 oz. of water, or in a carrier vegetable oil or salve, is plenty to protect and heal you.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p>So, here we have <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">T<strong>ea Tree</strong></span></strong><strong> Oil,</strong> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Oregano,  Thyme, Eucalyptus, Juniper, Peppermint, Grapefruit, Clove, Cinnamon, Myrrh, Frankinsence, Pine.Lavender&#8230;. </span></strong>just to name a few.</p>
<p>You can make your own blends, or just buy any one of the above mentioned, and use as spray on your bedding, in a sick room, on your “ surgical mask” if youre using one, around your person, etc etc. You can mix a bit in a vegetable oil and apply around your nostrils ( careful with that oregano or thyme oil.. it burns..)</p>
<p>Our recommendations in the shop is to use the <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Spray de Aire Fresco, </span></strong>which contains essential oils of peppermint, eucalyptus and grapefruit, and spray it liberally on the bus seat, airline seat, taxi, shopping cart handles..inside your face mask.. etc Wherever you feel unsure about your exposure to “ germs” etc. as well as to use it in your home or spray it around yourself .. it is not only a wonderful anti-bad guy spray, but it smells wonderful, clears out your airways , your aura, makes you feel energized and refreshed, and gets rid of pet or smoke or mold odors as well.<img src="/noveou%20labels/volantes/sprays%203.jpg" alt="" /><img src="/noveou%20labels/volantes/sprays%203.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>We also have a lovely <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Spray de Lavanda, spray alegria ( </span></strong>lavender, geranium and Orange oils) as well as the popular <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Spray de Dulces sueños </span></strong>( chamomile and lavender) which also is protectant, and relaxing.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">ANTIBACTERIAL HAND GEL –</span></strong> Ours has <strong>no</strong> chemical ingredients. We use instead, a base of alcohol and aloe gel, then add Olive leaf and Calendula tinctures, and pure essential oils. We have tea tree, lemon, mint, lavender, grapefruit, etc.. variety of essential oil options.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: </span>- </strong>Sometimes its actually the anxiety over the unknown or out of control aspects or this outbreak that are wearing people down. They are afraid for thier loved ones, or stressed out about thier loss of income, etc. Being in a state of anxiety or fear is also very detrimental to the immune system. So, for some, maybe taking drops of <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Rescue Remedy ( <em>rescate) </em></span></strong> 5 drops directly on tounge 3 to 5 times a day or as needed, is a good option.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p>We also have a formula called <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Miedo</span></strong> ( fear) for both specific and non-specific fear states, or even the drops called <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Sobrecarga (Overcharged) </span></strong>which adress states of overwhelm or overly stimulated or over satruated with information.</p>
<p>We also have a nice blend called <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Angel de la Guardia ( Guardian Angel) </span></strong>for states of vulnerablity and feeling one needs protection on energetic levels.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p>This is only a sampling of the many wonderful plants we have at your service to soothe and heal. Please stop by and get to know them. It is really such an amazing gift the plants share with us in so many ways, and you are welcome to explore a variety of them at our shop La Victoriana. Thank you, and be well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that summer is beginning, we dedicate this month&#8217;s bulletin to skin and sun care, and the herbs and products we have for you.<br />
<span id="more-50"></span><br />
Sunscreen protection for the UV rays seems foremost on most people&#8217;s mind- the UV rays being most harmful between 10 am and 2 pm. If you are going in the sun, be sure to avoid mineral oil (&#8220;Baby Oil&#8221;) &#8211; read the labels- most all commercial oils contain mineral oil as a primary ingredient). Mineral oil is a petroleum by product, it clogs pores, not letting the skin breath, leaches vitamins from the skin, and is phototoxic, that is, increases your chances of getting burned.</p>
<p>Natural elements which protect against UV rays include sesame oil, olive oil, and green tea. The antioxidant properties of green tea help protect against cellular damage from the sun&#8217;s UV rays. Our lotion PROTECCION SOLAR contains both sesame and olive oils, as well as green tea, aloe vera and lavender.</p>
<p>If you have a sunburn, we have several options, the POMADA DE CALENDULA PARA BEBES features healing properties of calendula as well as essential oils of chamomile and lavender, which have soothing anti-inflamatory properties. The LAVENDER SPRAY is great for sunburn, you don&#8217;t even have to rub. You can also make your own sunburn relief by rubbing on fresh aloe vera juice (jugo de savila) or trying ours (already bottled). Or you can make your own spray or linament by mixing 1/2 cup of apple cider or vinegar with 1/2 cup strongly brewed green tea and applying it to your burned skin.</p>
<p>Our aromatherapy line inlcudes ACEITE PARA DESPUES DEL SOL (&#8220;After-Sun Elixir&#8221;) a blend of essential oils of lavender, lemon, bergamot, and geranium in a sesame olive oil base, to soothe and heal burned or irritated, dried-out skin.</p>
<p>Did you know the Greeks of Olympus slathered olive oil all over their bodies prior to the olympic games to protect themselves from the dry, fierce heat? In those days, only men were allowed to attend, and the games were all played in the nude!</p>
<p>For those who wish to tan without burning, try our ACEITE PARA EL SOL &#8220;Sun Oil&#8221;, a mixture of carrot oil, rich in rejuvenating vitamin A, mandarin essential oil, and vitamin E.</p>
<p>For &#8220;sun spots&#8221; or &#8220;age spots,&#8221; the CALENDULA CREAM (crema de calendula) is our choice, although you can also make your own special oil by gently heating a handfull of fresh dandelion leaves in a cup of sesame or vegetable oil, turning off the flame before it boils, and letting it steep 3 hours. Apply either this oil or the calendula cream twice a day for at least three weeks.</p>
<p>To moisturize dry skin, we have many options. ACEITE HERBAL (Herbal Oil) is made from botanical extracts of comfrey, calendula, hypericum, lavender, mint, and chamomile. This oil works well all over the body as well as the face, and is also great on baby&#8217;s diaper area to prevent and treat diaper rash. You can use it in the morning after the shower, or after being outside. One or two tablespoons in the bathwater will leave you smooth and soft as a baby. We carry this oil unscented or in a variety of aromas. The &#8220;Aceite Herbal&#8221; was one of our first products that lead to the creation of the shop.</p>
<p>For dry feet, or feet with fungal tendencies, we recommend again the POMADA DE CALENDULA PARA BEBES, or the regular POMADA DE CALENDULA WITH COMFREY AND BURDOCK. Either one rubbed all over the feet, morning and night, keeps them lovely in your sandals.</p>
<p>If you like creamy type body and facial moisturizer, we have the LOCION DE SAVILA CON LAVANDA (Aloe Vera Lotion with Lavender), VITAMIN E LOTION WITH WISTERIA, VANILLA or TEA TREE; or the MANZANILLA (Chamomile) lotion. Any of these lotions serve as gentle cleansers for the face, simply apply then wipe off with tissue or a little water, instead of soap.</p>
<p>For more extensive moisture, try CREMA DE CACAO, our cocoa butter hand and foot lotion. This was formulated especially for rough, dry hands, pregnant women&#8217;s stretch marks, or extra dry skin. It contains cocoa butter, castor oil, vitamin E, borrage, comfrey, calendula, carnation, and lavender.</p>
<p>Please note: Our newsletter is not about medical advice. It is meant to inform you about some of the 350 herbal products we manufacture here at the shop, and help acquaint you with the variety and wonder of all the ways plants share themselves with us.</p>

<p>CUIDADOS POR EL SOL &#8211; version en ESPAÑOL JUNIO 2003</p>
<p>Ya que estamos entrando en el verano, este mes dedicamos el boletin a las hierbas y los productos que nos ayudan con el sol.</p>
<p>Proteccion solar: Los rayos UV (ultravioletas) son mas intensos de 10 am hasta 2pm del dia. Si estas en el sol, no uses productos con aceite mineral (lea las etiquetas- la mayoria de los humectantes comerciales utilizan esto como ingrediente principal). El aceite mineral es un producto derivido de petroleo, tapa los poros, absorbe las vitaminas de la piel y es fototoxico- es decir, aumenta la probabilidad de quemar el cutis.</p>
<p>Los elementos naturales que protegen de los rayos UV incluyen. aceite de ajonjoli y te verde. Los calidades anti-oxidentes del te verde ayudan a proteger el piel de daño celular por los rayos del sol. Nuestro locion: PROTECCION SOLAR esta hecho con el aceite de ajonjoli, olivo te verde, savila y lavanda.</p>
<p>Si se quema por el sol, ofrecemos varios opciones: La POMADA DE CALENDULA PARA BEBES ofrece los calidades curativas de la calendula junto con aceites esenciales de manzanilla y lavanda, los cuales tienen propiedades anti-inflamatorios y curativas para las quemaduras. El SPRAY DE LAVANDA refresca y cura tambien. Puedes hacer tu propio curacion applicando el JUGO DE SAVILA fresca o ya preparada. Puedes hacer un spray o linamento con vinagre de manzana mezclado mitad y mitad con te verde.</p>
<p>En la linea de aromaterapia contamos con el ACEITE PARA DESPUES DEL SOL, una mezcla de aceites esenciales de lavanda, limon, bergamota, y geraneo con aceite de olivo y girasol para calmar y humectar el cutis y renovarlo.</p>
<p>¿ Sabias que los griegos en Olimpo se embarraban con aceite de olivo puro antes de participar en los juegos olimpicos? En aquel tiempo, los juegos eran para hombres exclusivamente y todo se jugaba desnudo!</p>
<p>Para los que quieren broncearse en el sol sin quemarse y con leve proteccion de los rayos UV, ofrecemos el ACEITE PARA EL SOL, una mezcla con aceite de zanahoria, un fuente de vitamina A, a la vez humectante, con vitaminas E y otras.</p>

Dejalo reposar tres horas y aplique el aceite dos veces al dia. Debe de ver resultados entre tres semanas.</p>
<p>Para humectar la piel reseca, tenemos muchas opciones: ACEITE HERBAL esta hecho con extractos botanicos de comfrey, calendula, hypericum, lavanda, menta y manzanilla. Es un humectante que sirva para todo el cuerpo, la cara, las rosaduras de bebe. Se puede usar en la mañana despues de bañarse o despues de estar en el sol. Igual se puede poner 1 o 2 cucharadas en el agua de la tina y sale uno liso como un bebe. Ofrecemos este aceite sin olor y en una variedad de aromas.</p>
<p>Para los pies resecos, mas si uno tiene hongos o irritaciones, la POMADA DE CALENDULA PARA BEBES o la normal CALENDULA CON COMFREY Y BURDOCK es una maravilla para los pies.</p>
<p>Si guste una locion cremosa, tenemos la LOCION DE SAVILA CON LAVANDA, la WISTERIA CON VITAMINA E, la VANILLA CON VITAMINA E, la TEA TREE o la de MANZANILLA. Todos sireven para todo el cuerpo y la cara. Esas lociones igual sirven como limpiadores para el cutis, se aplica a la cara y simplemente quitar con un algodon o agua en vez de usar jabon.</p>

Angustifolia, L.   Spica)</strong> of the labiates family.  Its main constituents include volatile  oils, tannins, cumarines, flavenoids and triterpenoids.  Its action is   characterized as relaxant, antispasmodic, circulatory stimulant, nervous   system tonic, anti-bacterial, analgesic, antiseptic, and carminative.   <strong>Lavender&#8217;s</strong> generally accepted uses include for depression, headache, nervous   exhaustion, tension, colic, eczema, burns, muscle aches, insect bites,  head   lice, and leucorrhoea.</p>
<p><span id="more-11"></span>Many of our products include extract of <strong>Lavender</strong> for its soothing,   anti-inflammatory properties, including all of the MASSAGE OILS, SANGREGADO   SHAMPOO, ALOE MOISTURE LOTION (Savila y Lavanda), SHAMPOO DE LA TIERRA,   HERBAL HAIR RINSE, CALENDULA SALVE for babies, and the RESCUE REMEDY  CREAM.</p>
<p>We have available <strong>Lavender</strong> ESSENTIAL OIL, PERFUME OIL, and PERFUME ESSENCE   OIL.</p>
<p>It is also one of the ingredients in several of our face creams:   CREMA DEL ANGEL and CREMA 40 KILATES.    The aromatherapy salve DESPIERTA (Wake Up) is a mixture of essential oils  of   Peppermint and <strong>Lavender</strong>, designed to clear jet-lag, &#8220;brain-fog&#8221;, muscle or   head aches.  Rub a little on your temples or pulse points when studying or   at the computer.  Excellent for long car rides, congestion of mucous or   dizziness.  Rub on the soles of tired or swollen feet.</p>
<p>The aromatherapy salve CREMA DE LOS SUEÑOS (Dream Cream)illustrates   <strong>lavender&#8217;s</strong> versatility as a mind-clearer as well as a relaxant.  Combined   with essential oils of rosemary and mugwort, the Dream Cream salve is also   recommended rubbed on temples, pulse points, or soles of feet, to induce   relaxation, attract pleasant dreams, and de-stress.</p>
<p>The SPRAY DE DULCES SUEÑOS (Pillow Spray) is a mixture of Chamomile and   <strong>Lavender</strong> essential oils in a rosewater base.  Sprayed on the face it is a   refreshing wrinkle-reducing toner.  Sprayed on the pillow, in the car, or   baby&#8217;s crib, a relaxing antiseptic air freshener.</p>
<p>Because of <strong>lavender&#8217;s</strong> antiseptic properties, the SPRAY DE LAVANDA (lavender  Spray)   is a favourite for travellers.  Spray it on yourself on the plane to protect   yourself from the recycled air while you remain refreshed and relaxed, as   well as in your hotel.  It is also great for long trips or sitting at the   computer.</p>
<p>Many people are unaware that <strong>LAVENDER</strong> ESSENTIAL OIL is also an efficient   remedy for all types of insect bites and one of the principal remedies for   healing burns&#8211;sunburn and even the most severe burns.</p>
<p>Our SPRAY DE QUEMADURAS (Burn Spray) and CREMA CURACION VERDE (Green  Healing   Spray) both contain <strong>lavender</strong> essential oil whose incredible healing  properties were   discovered years ago by Gattefosse in France who, when his perfume factory  caught   on fire grabbed <strong>Lavender</strong> oil in a panic to douse his flaming hand.</p>
<p>TEPESCHOHUITE AND <strong>LAVENDER</strong> SOAP is another effective way to heal burned,   irritated skin as well as treat rashes and pimples.  We also offer  <strong>LAVENDER</strong> CREAM SOAP for extra moisture, and GREEN TEA AND <strong>LAVENDER</strong> glycerine soap  for   its soothing, anti-oxidant properties.</p>
<p>The MEDITATION EYE PILLOWS feature dried <strong>lavender</strong> mixed with flax seed to   relax the body and clear the mind as well as to relieve sinus congestion  and   headache.</p>
<p><strong>Lavender</strong> is also included in the COJINES DE DULCES SUEÑOS our little star   and moon shaped sachets designed to go under the pillow for babies or  adults   to encourage deep sleep and soothing dreams.</p>
<p>As you can see, <strong>Lavender</strong> has extensive and wondrous uses.  We hope you  will   try some-in whatever form has caught your interest, and enjoy.</p>
<p>Until next month, Thank you!  &#8211; <em>La Victoriana </em></p>

<p><strong> BOLETIN EN ESPAÑOL </strong></p>
<p>¡Bienvenidos al boletin de <em>La Victoriana</em>! Cada mes nos enfocaremos en una   planta o en un tema de salud y presentaremos su relacion con los productos   de <em>La Victoriana</em>.  En vista de que elaboramos mas de 350 productos  botanicos   en nuestro taller, se nos hace muy dificil comunicar todas sus virtudes a   los clientes.  Asi que, de esta pequeña manera. les podemos &#8220;presentar&#8221;   algunos productos y compartir nuevas ideas para su bienestar.    El tema de hoy es la planta <strong>Lavanda (Lavandula spp., L. angustafolia o  L.   Spica)</strong> de la familia de los Labiate.  Sus constituyentes principales   incluyen aceites volatiles, taninos, cumarinas, flavenoides y   triterpenoides.  Su accion se caracteriza como relajante,  anti-espasmotico,   estimulante circulatorio, tonico al sistema nerviosa central, relajante,   anti-bacterial, antiseptico, y carminativo.  Sus usos mas reconocidos   incluyen para la depresion, dolor de cabeza, agotamiento nervioso,  tension,   colico, eczema, quemaduras, dolores musculares, piquetes de insectos,  piojos   de la cabeza  y la leucorea.</p>
<p>Muchos productos de <em>La Victoriana</em> contienen <strong>Lavanda</strong> por sus cualidades   curativas y anti-inflamatorios;  incluso todos los ACEITES PARA MASAJES y  la   linea de ACEITE HERBAL, los SHAMPOO DE LA TIERRA, del SANGREGADO, y el   ENJUAGE HERBAL, la POMADA DE CALENDULA PARA BEBES, y la CREMA AL RESCATE.   Tambien contamos con ACEITE ESENCIAL de <strong>Lavanda</strong>, ESENCIA DE PERFUME DE   <strong>LAVANDA</strong>, y PERFUME DE <strong>LAVANDA</strong>. Igual figura en las cremas de belleza:  CREMA   DEL ANGEL y CREMA 40 KILATES.</p>
<p>La pomada de aromaterapia DESPIERTA se base en los aceites esenciales de   menta y <strong>lavanda</strong>, para aclarar la mente, y aliviar dolores musculares o de   cabeza.  Se unta un poco sobre los cienes o los pulsos cuando uno esta   estudiando o frente a la computadora.  Es excelente alivio para los viajes   largos, la congestion de flemas o los mareos.  Untar en las plantas de los   pies para los pies y piernas hinchadas o cansadas.</p>
<p>La pomada CREMA DE SUAÑOS demuestra su capacidad de calmar a la mente y   relajar el cuerpo.  Combinado con los aceites esenciales de romero y   artemesia, igual se recomienda untar sobre los cienes, pulsos o plantas de   los pies para relajarse, atraer sueños agradables y controlar el estress.</p>
<p>El SPRAY DE DULCES SUEÑOS es una mezcla de aceite esencial de manzanilla,   <strong>lavanda</strong>, y agua de rosas.  Aplicada en la cara, se refresca y reduzca las   arrugas.  Aplicada sobre la almoada, en el carro, o la cuna del bebe, es  una   refrescador del ambiente que relaja y a la vez desinfecta.</p>
<p>Por sus propiedades antisepticas, el SPRAY DE <strong>LAVANDA</strong> es el elegido por  los   que viajan.  Aplicalo a su cara y cuerpo para protegerse del aire  reciclado   en los aviones, mientras te relajas, y en su habitacion del hotel.  Al  igual   sirve a los estudiantes o gente con la mente cansada ante la computadora.</p>
<p>Mucha gente se sorprende que el ACEITE ESENCIAL DE <strong>LAVANDA</strong> tambien sea un   remedio eficiente por todo tipo de piquetes de insectos y es uno de los   remedios principales para quemaduras severas,  Nuestro SPRAY PARA  QUEMADURAS   y la SPRAY DE CURACION VERDE contienen el aceite esencial de <strong>lavanda</strong> descubierto hace cien años por el perfumero Gattefosse en Francia-cuando   hubo un incendio en su fabrica de perfumes, el agarro por panico un frasco   de esencia de <strong>lavanda</strong> pensando que era agua y lo derramo sobre sus manos  en   llamas.  Al salir, se curo sus manos sin trauma y el se dio cuenta que  habia   agarrado el aceite esencial en vez  del agua.</p>
<p>El jabon de TEPESCOHUITE Y <strong>LAVANDA</strong> es otra forma agraddable de aliviar  piel   quemado, con ronchas, o rosaduras.  Tambien ofrecemos JABON DE <strong>LAVANDA</strong> Y   CREMA para humectar y limpiar, y otro de TE VERDE, <strong>LAVANDA</strong> Y GLICERINA  para   protejer y proveer anti-oxidentes.</p>
<p>LOS COJINES DE MEDITACION PARA LOS OJOS combinan flores de <strong>lavanda</strong> con   semilla de linaza para relajar el cuerpo y mente, igual que aliviar   congestion del sinus o dolor de cabeza.  La <strong>lavanda</strong> tambien se incluye en   LOS COJINES DE LOS DULCES SUEÑOS-los cojincitos de estrellas y lunas que  se   colocan debajo de la almohada para bebes o adultos para dormir bien sin   pesadillas.</p>
<p>Asi que los usos de <strong>lavanda</strong> son extensas y maravillosas.  Ojala le sirve   para que lo conozca en la forma que le agrade.    Hasta el mes que entra&#8230; ATTE. <em>LA VICTORIANA</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://lavictoriana.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/istock_000002321729xsmall.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-91" src="http://lavictoriana.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/istock_000002321729xsmall.jpg?w=112&#038;h=169" alt="" width="112" height="169" /></a>Spring is a good time to initiate a cleanse, as our bodies shift  metabolically from hibernation to activity, and as the pollens and dust come  out to play.</p>
<p>Besides the skin, which we consider a peripheral organ, the 3  vital organs involved in detoxification are: the liver, the kidneys and the bowels. If those aren’t clear the skin won&#8217;t  be either, and many conjunct pathologies such as excess mucous, itchy or  burning eyes, itchy skin, sluggishness and/or Candida or yeast infections  may follow.<span id="more-3"></span></p>
<p>According to many naturopaths, the 4 R&#8217;s of detoxification include:</p>
<p>REMOVE (yeast, toxins, mucous, build-up)<br />
REPLACE (with digestive aids, multi-vitamins, etc.)<br />
REPAIR (irritated or damaged inner tissues)<br />
RE-INNOCULATE (the &#8220;friendly flora&#8221; in the intestinal tract, the  acid/alkaline balance in the bloodstream, etc.)</p>
<p>Remember, we don&#8217;t want to &#8220;build up&#8221; the immune system until we first clean  the home- i.e: we won&#8217;t plant our new seeds until we&#8217;ve tended the soil.</p>
<p><strong>GENERAL CLEANSING</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://lavictoriana.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/istock_000003377899xsmall1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-98" src="http://lavictoriana.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/istock_000003377899xsmall1.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>For many, a simple fast is the easiest and first way to help change the body  chemistry and habits.  I do not recommend water-only fasts unless you have a  trained supervisor.  A simple routine, instead would be:<br />
3 days of raw foods<br />
3 days of juices (vegetable or fruit)<br />
3 days raw foods</p>
<p>For those whom even this seems daunting, set aside one day a week to only  raw or fresh foods, or only juices.  Others like to choose one organ system  per week, the liver one day or one week, the kidneys one day or week etc.  You could do it all at once, or each one day per week, or one week per  month, or whatever works for you.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at each organ now:</p>
<p><strong>THE LIVER </strong><br />
Is the first to receive blood from the intestines- it removes the glucose  which it synthesizes and stores or sends on to form amino acids, which it  incorporates into proteins.  It excretes bile and bilirubin leftover from  the red blood cells no longer functioning.  It is the source of heparin,  (anticoagulant) and prothrombin, for clotting.  Cholesterol is manufactured  in the liver, so cleansing the liver can improve utilization and lower  cholesterol levels.  It also plays an important part in regulating blood  volume and body heat.  It is the first-line filter for toxins and estrogens.</p>
<p><em>SIMPLE LIVER CLEANSE   In blender, place:    juice of 1 orange    juice of 1 grapefruit    juice of 1 or 2 limes    1 tsp. to 1 tbs. olive oil    1 or 2 cloves garlic   Blend and drink every other morning for up to 3 weeks, OR drink on the days  you do your cleansing diet. </em></p>
<p><strong>HERBS THAT AID IN CLEANSING AND REBUILDING THE LIVER</strong> (available at <em>La  Victoriana</em>)</p>
<p><a href="http://lavictoriana.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/istock_000004357152xsmall.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-99" src="http://lavictoriana.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/istock_000004357152xsmall.jpg?w=242&#038;h=161" alt="" width="242" height="161" /></a><strong>MILK THISTLE</strong>- &#8220;The queen&#8221; of liver cleansers.  Studies show it not only  cleanses but helps regenerate damaged liver tissues.<br />
Tincture: 1 dropperful in water three times a day (at <em>La Victoriana</em>) or<br />
Capsules: 2 capsules two to three times a day (at many health food stores)</p>
<p><a href="http://lavictoriana.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/istock_000005101779xsmall.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-100" src="http://lavictoriana.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/istock_000005101779xsmall.jpg?w=167&#038;h=250" alt="Dandelion" width="167" height="250" /></a><strong>DANDELION</strong>- Excellent also for the kidneys, regulating glucose levels,  alkalinizing the blood.<br />
Tincture: 1 dropperful in water two or three times a day after meals. (at <em>La  Victoriana</em>, called Diente de Leon in Spanish)</p>
<p><strong>CAPSULAS DIGESTIVAS</strong>- A blend of Boldo, Artichoke and Mag. Phos which works  to cleanse the liver as well as the pancreas. Two capsules after meals three  times a day.</p>
<p><strong>TE PARA APOYAR EL HIGADO</strong>- Liver Support Tea.  A handful to a litre of  boiling water.  Boil briefly the turn off the flame, cover, let steep 10  min.   Strain, sweeten to taste, and keep in fridge.   Drink freely, during  the day, 1-3 cups a day.</p>
<p><strong>ANEMIA-HIGADO</strong>- Tincture for cleansing liver and rebuilding the blood.  1  dropperful in water after meals 3 times a day.</p>
<p><strong>KIDNEYS </strong><br />
A juice fast is the most direct way to cleanse the kidneys as all liquids  must pass directly through them.  An especially cleansing juice for the  kidneys may be made in your blender: <em><br />
2-3 slices fresh raw apple<br />
2 stalks fresh celery<br />
a small handful fresh parsley</em></p>
<p><em>Drink each morning. </em></p>
<p><strong>HERBS FROM THE SHOP TO CLEANSE THE KIDNEYS</strong>:</p>
<p>Any of these alone or in combination may be made as daily drinking water<br />
<em>A  handful to 1 litre of water.<br />
Bring to a boil, cover and steep 10 minutes.<br />
Strain and sweeten if you like.<br />
Drink 2-4 cups per day of any of the following:</em></p>
<p><strong>CORNSILK </strong>(pelos de elote), <strong>PINGUICA</strong> (uva-ursi), <strong>DANDELION </strong>(diente de leon),  <strong>HIBISCUS </strong>(jamaica), <strong>CAPITA NEJA</strong> and <strong>ENGORDACABRA</strong> (no translation available).</p>
<p><strong>COLA DE CABALLO</strong> (horsetail) &#8220;The Queen&#8221;, cleanses arteries, kidneys,  improves circulation, nails, hair, regulates blood pressure, mildly  diuretic.</p>
<p><strong>TE PARA LOS RIÑONES</strong> is a tea blend of many of the above, pre-mixed.</p>
<p><strong>THE COLON </strong></p>
<p><strong>Do not do any of these if you are pregnant!</strong></p>
<p>One of the most direct forms of  cleansing the colon, in conjunction with the &#8220;fasts&#8221;, is the enema.  Simple  enemas of <em>1 to 3 cups of warm water and the addition of juice of a clove of  garlic or a cup of manzanilla (chamomile) tea or flaxseeds (linaza)</em> can be  used once a week.</p>
<p>For those not interested in enemas, or to be done in conjunction with an enema, a simple tea of  capsules of SENNA LEAF (Hoja Sen) or a tablespoon of &#8220;Metamucil (psyllium  seeds, available at any pharmacy) or the CAPSULAS DE FORMULA CASCARA  SAGRADA-2 capsules with a glass of warm water after meals 3 times a day.

<p><strong>Boletin Abril 2003                             &#8211;ESPAÑOL&#8211;<br />
Detoxificacion- &#8220;LIMPIADA DE PRIMAVERA&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>La primavera es una buena epoca para iniciar una &#8220;limpia&#8221;, como el cuerpo  cambia metabolicamente de un patron de inactividad al de actividad; y cuando  sale el polen y polvo.  Aparte de la piel (lo cual consideramos un organo  periferal) los tres organos vitales que manejan la detoxificacion son:  El  higado, los riñones y el colon.  Si estos no estan en su mejor condicion, el  cutis no lo sera tampoco, y saldran otros patologias como un exceso de  flemas, ojos ardientes o con comezon, piel con comezon, cansancio y/o  problemas de candida.</p>
<p>Segun las naturistas, los cuatro pasos de la desintoxificacion son:<br />
1. Remover (candida, toxinas, flemas etc.)<br />
2. Re-Emplacer (con suplementos, alimentos positivas etc.)<br />
3. Reparar (tejidos dañados o iritados)<br />
4. Re-Inocular (&#8220;la flora amigable&#8221;, el balance acido/alkalina, etc.)<br />
Acuerdase que no queremos &#8220;resforzar&#8221; el sistema inmunitaria sin primero  haber limpiado la casa- es decir, no vamos a sembrar las semillas nuevas sin  haber presparado el suelo.</p>
<p>LIMPIEZA GENERAL:<br />
Para muchos, un ayuno sencillo es lo primero y la forma mas acsesible para  cambiar su composicion quimica y las malas costumbres. (No recomiendo ayunas  de pura agua sin supervision profesional.) Una rutina sencilla puede ser:</p>
<p>3 dias de comida cruda<br />
3 dias de jugos (verdura o fruta)<br />
3 dias comida cruda<br />
Y si eso se te hace dificil, aparta un dia de la semana para comer solo  comida cruda o jugos.  Otra gente le gusta escoger un organo o sistema por  semana, o una semana por mes etc. Vamos a ver organo por organo:</p>
<p><strong>EL HIGADO</strong><br />
Es el primero en recibir sangre de los intestinos-quita la glucosa, lo cual  sintetiza y guarda o lo manda en forma de amino acidos, lo cual se convierta  en proteinas.  Secreciona el bilis y la bilirubina que dejan las celulas  rojas cuando no funcionan.  Es el fuente de heparin (anticoagulante) y  protrombina (para coagulacion).  Se fabrica el colesterol en el higado, asi  que mejorando su funccion del higado mejora los niveles de colesterol.  Tambien toma un papel importante en regularizar el volumen de sangre, y  filtra las toxinas quimicas y los estrogenos.</p>
<p>UNA LIMPIA SENCILLA DEL HIGADO:<br />
En la licuadora, mezcla:<br />
el jugo de 1 naranja<br />
el jugo de 1 toronja<br />
el jugo de 1 o 2 limones<br />
1 o 2 dientes de ajo<br />
1 cucharadita o 1 cucharada de aceite de olivo<br />
Tomar cada tercera mañana durante 3 semanas, o tomar diario durante su  ayuno.</p>
<p>HIERBAS QUE FACILITAN EN LIMPIAR Y RENOVAR EL HIGADO: (Disponible en la  tienda)</p>
<p>MILKTHISTLE: &#8220;La Reina&#8221; de los tratamientos para el higado.  Se han hecho  estudios demonstrando no solo que limpia el higado, sino regenera tejidos  dañados.  La TINTURA se toma 1 gotero lleno en agua 3 veces al dia o se  compra en capsulas en cualquier tienda naturista y se toma 2 capsulas 2 a 3  veces al dia.</p>
<p>DIENTE DE LEON- Tambien excelente para los riñones, regularizar a los nivels  de glucosa, y alkalinizar a la sangre, la TINTURA se toma 1 gotero lleno en  agua 2 o 3 veces al dia despues de comer.</p>
<p>CAPSULAS DIGESTIVAS- Una mezcla de Boldo, alcachofa y magnesio phos. lo cual  limpia el higado y tambien la vesicula.  Se toma 2 capsulas despues de comer tres veces al dia.</p>
<p>TE PARA APOYAR EL HIGADO- Un manojito por un litro de agua herviendo.  Hervir brevamente, despues apagar la llama, tapar y reposar 10 a 15 minutos.   Colar, endulzar, y tomar como agua de uso, 1 a 3 tazas al dia.  Contine  Milk thistle, boldo, diente de leon, shizandra, y toronjil.</p>
<p>TINTURA &#8220;ANEMIA-HIGADO&#8221;- Para limpiar y renovar el higado y la sangre. 1  gotero lleno en agua despues de comer 2 o 3 veces al dia.</p>
<p><strong>LOS RIÑONES</strong></p>
<p>Un ayuno de jugos es la forma mas directa de llegar a las vias orinarias y  los riñones.  Un jugo particularmente sano para los riñones es el siguente:</p>
<p>En la licuadora mezcle:<br />
2a 3 rebanadas de piña fresca<br />
2 tallos de apio fresco<br />
1 pequeño manojo de perejil<br />
Tomalo cada mañana.</p>
<p>HIERBAS DE LA VICTORIANA QUE PUEDEN LIMPIAR LOS RIÑONES</p>
<p>Cualquiera de estas sola o en combinacion se puede tomar como agua de uso-  un manojo por un litro de agua.  Herivir, depues cubrir y reposar 10  minutos.  Colar y endulzar a su gusto.  Tomar 2 a 4 tazas al dia de  cualquier de los siguiente:</p>
<p>PELOS DE ELOTE, PINGUICA, DIENTE DE LEON, JAMAICA, CAPITA NEJA o el  ENGORDACABRA</p>
<p>COLA DE CABELLO- &#8220;La reina&#8221;- Limpia los arterios, riñones, mejora la  circulacion, las uñas, el pelo, reguliza a al presion sanguinea, levemente  diuretico.</p>
<p>TE PARA LOS RIÑONES- Una mezcla propia de la tienda con eso y mas.</p>
<p><strong>EL COLON</strong></p>
<p><strong>(NO USES ESTOS SI EN EL EMBARAZO)</strong></p>
<p>Una de las formas mas directas para limpiar el colon, en combinacion con el  ayuno es el enema, o lavado del colon.  Enemas sencillas de 1 a 3 tazas de  agua tibia con el jugo de un diente de ajo, o te de manzanilla o linaza se  puede usar una vez a la semana.</p>
<p>Para los que no les interesa los enemas, un te sencilla de HOJA SEN o una  cuhcarada de &#8220;metamucil&#8221; o las capsulas de FORMULA CASCARA SAGRADA &#8211; 2  Capsulas despues de la comida 3 veces al dia, esta formula contiene cascara  sagrada, raiz de rubarbio, raiz de consuelda, olmo, jengibre y barro  betonita.</p>
<p><strong>MANTENIMIENTO</strong><br />

- Te verde o te de jamaica &#8211; los dos disponibles en muchos supermercados en  San Miguel.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This month I&#8217;d like to feature one very noble and versatile plant: Calendula. If you are familiar with the shop you may have noticed a great number of our products are made with calendula. <span id="more-47"></span>CALENDULA OFFICINALIS is also known in spanish as &#8220;maravilla&#8221; (marvel) or &#8220;mercadela&#8221;. It is a common garden flower of cheery golden color. Its constituents include saponins, flavenoids, mucilagens and steroid compounds. Its action is classified as astringent, antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, menstrual regulator and stimulates the bile production.</p>
<p>Traditionally it is used topically on chicken pox and measles, pimples, as a wound wash, for ulcerations, eczema, painful or cracked nipples when nursing, diaper rash and dry inflamed skin as well as burns. A strong infusion of flowers is also used as a mouth rinse for ulcers or gum disease, or a douche for vaginal infections or yeast (candida). The tincture or tea is traditionally used for menopause, menstrual cramps, and gastritis.</p>
<p>You can find many products with calendula at La Victoriana, including the LIP BALM, and COLD SORE BALM. We carry CALENDULATED OIL, CALENDULA SALVE, CALENDULA BABY SALVE (with lavender and chamomile essential oils) and gentle CHAMOMILE SOAP. Our TALCO is a non-talcum (lead free) powder useful for athlete&#8217;s foot, on underarms as a deoderant, and of course, on baby&#8217;s bottom to heal or prevent diaper rash. Our natural deoderant spray is in a calendula base.</p>
<p>Calendula is an important ingredient in the TONIFICADOR HERBAL for oily or pimply skin, THE SPRAY DE CURACION (first aid spray),THE LINAMIENTO PARA HEMMOROIDES (hemorroid linament), and SPRAY PARA LAS QUEMADURAS (burn spray). It is also one of the ingredients in many of our face creams, including 40 KILATES (40 Karat Cream), JASMIN Y AGUACATE (Jasmine and Avocado), RESCUE REMEDY cream and of course, the CREMA DE CALENDULA~ our own calendula cream moisturizer for sensitive and /or spotty skin. We also carry the tincture as well as a postpartum tea with calendula as an external wash or internal douche for healing sensitive tissues after childbirth.</p>
<p>Every home should have at least a CALENDULA SALVE for minor skin problems, wounds, or fungus of all kinds; as well as some SPRAY or LINAMENTO DE CURACIÓN (herbal antiseptic spray). We are particularly grateful to the Calendula plant for sharing her bounty in so many healing ways.</p>
<p>* Please visit our new website coming in mid-September: www.LaVictoriana.com to read past issues of the bulletin adn learn more about our products, projects and plants. Thank you!</p>

<p>VERSION EN ESPAÑOL LA VICTORIANA</p>
<p>BOLETÍN #6 LA CALENDULA Septiembre 2003</p>
<p>Éste mes queremos estrenar una planta muy noble y útil~ la Calendula. Mejor conocida en español como: &#8220;la maravilla&#8221; o la &#8220;mercadela&#8221;. Su nombre técnico es CALENDULA OFFICIONALIS. Si uno conoce a la tienda LA VICTORIANA, a lo mejor se ha notado que un gran cantidad de nuestros productos continienen la Calendula. Su flor amarilla-dorada se encuentra en muchos jardines caseras y públicas. Sus constituyentes incluyen saponinas, flavonoides, múcilago, resina y compuestos esteroides. Su acción se classifica como astringente, antiseptica, fungicida, antiinflamatoria, cicatrizante, regulador menstrual y estimulador del produccion de bilis.</p>
<p>Por lo mismo sus usos tradicionales incluyen uso externo para la varicela y sarampión, barritos de la cara, lavado para heridas, ulceras, eczema, pezones adoloridas o agrietadas en la lactancia, rosadura de pañal o para piel reseca o inflamada, y las quemaduras. Una infusion fuerte de las flores también se utiliza como enjuage buccal para gengivitis, ulceras, aftas, y algodoncillo, y como lavado vaginal para infecciónes o hongos (candidasis). Se ha usado la tintura tradicionalmente para la menopausia, cólicos menstruales y gastritis.</p>
<p>Uno encontrará muchos productos con Calendula en La Victoriana incluyendo los PROTEGE LABIOS, y la POMADA PARA LOS FUEGOS LABIALES. Manejamos ACEITE DE CALENDULA, (sin aroma) el ACEITE HERBAL (en una variedad de aromas), POMADA DE CALENDULA y POMADA DE CALENDULA PARA BEBÉS (con aceites essenciales de lavanda y manzanilla) y el suave JABON DE CALENDULA.</p>
<p>Nuestro TALCO sin plomo (que contienen muchos de los talcos comerciales) y útil para pie de atleta, en las axilas como desoderante y, por su puesto, para prevenir o corregir la rosadura de pañal del bebé. Nuestro DESODERANTE NATURAL (en spray) es a base de la calendula. Casi toda la linea para bebés incluye la calendula en su receta porque aparte de su amplio poder curativa, es sumamente suave para el cútis.</p>
<p>Calendula se figura en el TONIFICADOR HERBAL para piel grasosa o con barritos, el SPRAY DE CURACIÓN, SPRAY DE QUEMADURAS, y LINAMENTO PARA LOS HEMMOROIDES. También compone parte de los ingredientes en varias cremas para la cara que fabricamos~ como la de 40 KILATES, la del JASMIN Y AGUACATE, CREMA AL RESCATE, y por su puesto, LA CREMA DE CALENDULA- lo cual es humectante y desmanchadora.</p>
<p>Ofrecemos la TINTURA y también un TÉ PARA EL POSPARTO en calendula que sirve como lavado interno o externo para curar los tejidos sensibles posparto.</p>
<p>Cada hogar a lo menos debe contar con una POMADA DE CALENDULA y un SPRAY DE CURACIÓN para las emergencias y curaciónes caseras de cualquier tipo.</p>
<p>Somos sumamente agradecidos a la Calendula por compartir su bondad en tantas formas con todos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This month&#8217;s theme is Hair Care. The most common question people ask us at La Victoriana is what we have for falling out or thinning hair.</p>
<p><span id="more-48"></span>A most common cause is stress, which can deplete your vitamin reserves. Another common cause is hormonal changes, for example in the months following childbirth, or after coming off the pill, or entering menopause. Poor circulation of the scalp is another factor. Sometimes an underactive thyroid is a factor. So in addition to the herbal products I will mention, I&#8217;d suggest also supplementation with a B-complex vitamin once a day, folic acid, and silica (homeopathic silica 6c, 3 pills once a day).</p>
<p>When the hair is thinning or falling out, we recommend the JABON DE CACAHUANANCHE, a bar soap shampoo, made from plant extracts. Simply lather up and rub into the scalp, as with a liquid shampoo. Great for traveling, too. Another favorite is the SHAMPOO DE SANGREGADO, with avocado oil and lavender and clove essential oils. This helps strengthen the capilaries and hair follicles.</p>
<p>Following either shampoo could be our herbal vinegar hair rinse and conditioner ENJUAGE HERBAL. This is a time-honored recipe, based on apple cider vinegar with extracts of horsetail, (rich in silica) nettles (capilary strength) rosemary (circulation, anti-oxidant) chamomile and lavender. Pour a tablespoon or two in a glass of warm water and pour over your just shampooed hair, then rinse out. This balances the ph of the hair and is the best de-tangler I know.</p>
<p>A recipe from the olden times in Egypt is found in our TRATAMIENTO INTENSIVO PARA EL PELO. This is a mixture of Jojoba oil, and essential oils of Basil, Lavender, and Rosemary. You can rub this directly onto the scalp, giving a finger massage, in the evening, and wash out the next morning. You can do this every 3 or 4 days or once a week, for a few months. Or you can add a capful or two into your regular shampoo or conditioner and thus use daily. You could sprinkle a few drops onto your hairbrush and use when you brush out your freshly washed hair.</p>
<p>The SHAMPOO DE SANGREGADO is also a good choice for dandruff, for flaky, itchy scalp.</p>
<p>For fine, thin, or baby&#8217;s hair, we have SHAMPOO DE MANZANILLA con Ajonjoli (sesame oil) to gently clean, bring out highlights, adn help keep fine hair untangled. The SHAMPOO PLUS has Basil essential oil and Jojoba oil, good for dry, permed and over-worked hair and also serves as a 2-in-1 conditioner and shampoo.</p>
<p>Our shampoo line began with the original SHAMPOO DE LA TIERRA, &#8220;From the Earth: Root Shampoo&#8221; which is for all kinds of hair contains plant extracts with a long history of conditioning, cleaning and promoting healthy hair.</p>
<p>This year we brought out two new conditioners based on chamomile and honey to detangle, shine, and fortify the hair ACONDICIONADOR DE MANZANILLA MIEL with either vanilla or milflores for a light scent. Give them a try!</p>
<p>Until next month, thank you again for your patronage. -LA VICTORIANA</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;VERSION EN ESPAÑOL&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>CUIDADO DEL CABELLO</p>
<p>El tema de este mes es el cabello. La pregunta mas comun que recibimos en La Victoriana es sobre que se puede hacer por la caida del pelo.</p>
<p>La causa mas comun es el estress, lo cual puede acabar con tus reservas vitaminicas. Otra causa comun es de los camvios hormonales posparto, pos-pastilla, anti-conceptiva, y de la menopausia. La falta de la buena circulacion capilar del cuero cabelludo es otro, y a veces se debe a la glandula del tiroide no funcionando muy bien. Aparte de los consejos de nuestros productos, se sugiere suplementarse con una capsula del complejo &#8220;B&#8221; con acido folico, y la silica (o tomar te de cola de caballo o chochos homeopaticos de silica 6c, 3 chochos una vez al dia).</p>
<p>Cuando se cae o se adelgaze el pelo, recomendamos el shampoo-jabon (viene en barra como un jabon) de CACAHUANANCHE. Frotar para hacer espuma como cualquier jabon y aplicarse al pelo, enjuagando como shampoo. Es bueno para los viajes tambien.</p>
<p>Otro favorito es el SHAMPOO DE SANGREGADO, con aceite de aguacate y aceites esenciales de lavanda y clavo. Esto ayuda a fortalecer a los capilarias y foliculas del cuero cabelludo. Despues de cualquier de los dos. viene el ENJUAGE HERBAL. Esta receta es antigua a base de vinagre de manzana con extratos de cola de caballo (rica en silica) ortiga (fuerza capilaria) romero (circulacion y anti-oxidante) manzanilla y lavanda. Poner unas cucharadas en un vaso de agua tibia y aplicar como enjuage a su pelo, terminando con mas agua como enjuage. Esto balancea el PH del pelo y es el mejor desenrededor que conozco.</p>
<p>Otra receta que ha durado las generaciones es uno de Egipcio: el TRATAMIENTO INTENSIVO PARA EL PELO. Esto es una mezcla de aceite de Jojoba con aceites esenciales de lavanda y romero. Puedes untarlo directo al pelo en la noche, dar un buen masaje al cuero cabelludo, y en la mañana lavar el pelo normalmente.</p>
<p>Puedes hacer esto una vez a la semana o cada tercer dia. O puedes agregar una tapita (o chorrito) a su shampoo o acondicionador normal y usar diario, o puedes poner unas gotas sobre su cepillo cuando cepillas el pelo.</p>
<p>El SHAMPOO DE SANGREGADO es una buena opcion para pelo caiendo, pero tambien para la caspa o el cuero cabelludo con comezon.</p>
<p>Para cabello, fino, lasio, o para bebes, tenemos el SHAMPOO DE MANZANILLA con ajonjoli para suavemente limpiar, aclarar y desenredar el cabello. El SHAMPOO PLUS contiene aceite de jojoba y aceite esenciale de albacahar para pelo reseco, teñido o maltratado. Igual sirve como Shampoo y acondicionador en uno. Nuestro linea de shampoo se inicio con el SHAMPOO DE LA TIERRA, lo cual sirve a todo tipo de pelo y contiene extractos de plantas con larga historia en promover el bienestar del cabello.</p>
<p>Este año hemos desarollado 2 acondicionadores nuevas a base de MANZANILLA MIEL para desenredar, dar brillo y fortalacer el cabello. Viene con olor agradable de vanilla o de milflores.</p>
<p>Para cualquier tipo de pelo, hay algo natural para ti en La Victoriana. Pruebalos! Hasta el mes que entra! Muchas Gracias por su interes. -La Victoriana</p>
