Stretch Marks
Caused from pregnancy, rapid
weight loss and even growth spurts. No cream in the world will
completely eliminate stretch marks, only fade them which helps
quite a bit. Stretch marks do fade in time on their own.
One recommended way to reduce
the appearance of stretch marks is to lift weights, it will help
to tighten the surrounding skin making it appear smoother. |

Stretch Marks - BY BARBARA B
I just saw your website and was
browsing Beauty Recipes and saw the comment on Stretch Marks.
A family member told me years
ago when I was pregnant with my daughter to rub pure coco butter
twice daily over my stomach and breasts. When my daughter was
born, there were no stretch marks at all on my stomach. Now in
my fifties, I've been passing this information on to my daughter,
daughters of friends and anyone I knew who was pregnant. My daughter
now has 3 sons and no stretch marks. But once you have stretch
marks it is difficult to get rid of. The key is prevention.
Some seemed skeptical but they
did it and no stretch marks. It really works. I use to buy the
Hersheys coco butter directly from a pharmacy. |

Mustard Plaster - JOHN S
Hi, here's an old fashioned remedy
that I use to relieve my arthritis pains. I make what you call
a mustard plaster. To do this you need to mix together 2 parts
flour with 1 part mustard powder, then add some water to make
a paste. Spread it on a clean cloth of some sort, fold it in
half and press against the skin. Don't put the salve directly
on the skin since it can burn. You can also use this to loosen
phlegm or for sore muscles. Thanks for the site! |
