Natural Hygiene For Better Health with Colon Cleanses

Why Am I Writing About Colon Cleanses on The Frugal Pig?

Yeah, I know they are nasty to think about, and you may think they belong in a natural remedies website, and not a frugal living website like this one. However, I myself, have had some good experiences by using a natural colon cleanse supplement, especially when I felt I was about to come down with something. In the winter, when I feel a scratchy throat or cold coming on, I take a colon cleanse supplement, and the problem usually resolves itself by the next morning.

Some benefits of a colon cleanse are improved digestion, more effective immune system, relief of bloating and constipation, and a more comfortable physical body. Some people report that they help them reduce food cravings, because a clean digestion helps us to absorb nutrients from fod that we eat, so we don’t always crave more food.

Anyway, our friends at the over 50 website have published a free trial colon cleanse offer, and it is one way to find out if a natural and gentle supplement will help you. Improving our health and reducing junk food cravings will certainly aid your quest for a frugal lifestyle!

Dental Plan For Unemployed People

Oink — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 04:18:40 +0000

Lose Your Job and Dental Benefits?

One of the big stresses during a period of unemployment is the loss of benefits. Of course, the loss of health insurance is major, but you may have a COBRA health plan extension available.

A more immediate program may be dental care, and sometimes it can be tough to find an affordable dental plan for the unemployed.

However, large dental discount plans cost a few dollars a month and many offer very cheap, or even free, routine dental care like checkups and cleanings. Other services, which cannot be deferred until a job is found, are also offered in the network at greatly reduced prices.

FIND A CHEAP DENTAL DISCOUNT PLAN IN YOUR AREA. If you are between jobs, or if you current job does not offer dental benefits, a dental discount network can help you access good dentists.

If you already have dental coverage, but find that it does not cover orthodontic braces, cosmetic work, dentures, or some other major services, a dental discount plan can save you money too! And you will not have a waiting period, but should be able to use your benefits as soon as your membership approves. Memberships can be applied for online, and people can usually access their benefits right away.

Home Made Shiny Hair Conditioner

Oink — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:37:04 +0000

Make Your Own Hair Conditioner

Everybody wants shiny hair like the shampoo models have. Well, you can buy a lot of products from beauty supply stores or beauty shops. But these commercial hair products can get expensive, and they may also contain a lot of chemicals that can get absorbed by the skin.

However, most people can get great results from a home made and natural hair care conditioner. All you need is an egg, a teaspoon of honey (that makes the medicine go down — or was that sugar?), and a tablespoon of olive oil. Beat the egg, and then mix in the honey and olive oil. Then shampoo your hair and rinse it well. Apply your egg mixture. Leave it on for 5 minutes, and then rinse it out. When your hair dries, it should shine!

Homemade Facial

Oink — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:14:58 +0000

Our homemade sunburn relief was a big hit, so we thought we’d follow it up with a homemade facial cure. Well, you know that commercial preparations that are made with natural oatmeal are very popular, and very effective. As a point of fact, when my kids had chicken pox (right before the vaccine came out), the commercial oatmeal preparation seemed to give them the best relief!

Well, why not use oatmeal as a natural facial? First open your pores with cloth dipped in hot water. Make a paste with oatmeal and apply it to your face. Wear that for 15 minutes, and then wash your face with a cloth dipped in cool water.

Many people suggest adding a bit of honey and a raw egg to the mixture. Sounds almost good enough to eat! Well, maybe not the raw egg, but you get the idea. Others suggest milk (full fat, not skim).

And, we got a tip to use lemon juice to fade age spots. I think I’ll go try that one!

Cheap Homemade Sunburn Relief

Oink — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:27:29 +0000

Summer Sun Means Sunburns

As sure as April showers bring May flowers, the summer sun brings sunburns. Oh, of course we should use sunscreen and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. But we do not want to pass up a day at the beach or neighborhood pool for the fun and exercise. Despite our best efforts to protect our skin, we do suffer a burn once in awhile.

Homemade Sunburn Relief

We all know about aloe, and if you have a plant at home that is great. You can also buy preparations with aloe in them. However, this wonderful, cooling preparation can be taken right out of the fridge without buying a specially made sunburn gel or growing any plants!

You need 1 tablespoon of Yogurt at room temp. It should be regular yogurt, and not the low fat variety. You also need 1 teaspoon of soft honey. You can warm it up for a few seconds in the microwave so it is soft. You also need some hot or warm water and a washcloth. That’s it!

Mix the honey and yogurt together. Apply the mixture to your burn. Then soak the washcloth in the hot water and use it to wash your face. Use common sense about the temprerature of the water. A sunburn may not enjoy very hot water, but you may want a steaming washcloth if you use this for an every day facial.

Tips: You can also use this preparation as a wonderful, soothing facial. If your skin is dry, you can double the honey. If your skin is oily, add a few drops of lemon or lime juice.
