Karin Herzog Vita-A-Kombi

Karin Herzog Vita-A-Kombi is an oxygenating, vitamin enriched face moisturizer designed to heal and brighten the skin. It is used by dermatologists and doctors around the world to treat acne and premature aging because of its ability to deliver oxygen, vitamins A (retinol) and E to the skin at an accelerated rate.
The oxygen is delivered to the skin by way of hydrogen peroxide which is simply oxygen and water, used as a primary ingredient.
Vita-A-Kombi works because the anaerobic bacteria within the skin, which can cause acne, a tired, dull complexion and exacerbate premature wrinkles, can not survive in oxygen. The oxygen removes the bacteria and toxins and the vitamins repair, hydrate and plump up damaged skin.
Vita-A-Kombi comes in 3 levels of oxygen intensity, 1 being the mildest and suggested for normal and sensitive skin. I currently use Vita-A-Kombi 2 as my night cream, which is great for normal, mature, congested and acne prone skin. Vita-A-Kombi 3 targets specific problems such as spots, blemishes, sun damage and hyper-pigmentation.
I have to say if I go a night without it I can certainly see the difference. I love this cream and I recommend Vita-A-Kombi for all skin types.

Kombucha

Recently I have been drinking kombucha tea daily and I love it. Kombucha is a fermented tea that originated in the East and is made by fermenting green tea using a group of microorganisms called a kombucha culture. It is used for medicinal purposes and can be made at home or purchased from most health food stores.
Kombucha is considered a food because it is so rich in nutrients, organic acids, vitamins and enzymes. It contains vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12 which gives the body energy, so my advice is to drink it early in the day so as not to keep you awake at night. (I know this from experience!) Kombucha detoxifies and strengthens the immune system and helps process fats and proteins which are important for the functioning of the nervous system. It encourages healthy intestinal flora by introducing good bacteria and it balances the metabolism and the body's pH levels. This includes the pH balancing of the blood making it less hospitable for bad bacteria to live. Kombucha also flushes toxins through the kidneys and helps restore live function.
Kombucha has been known to help a range of diseases and issues including arthritis, digestive disorders, high blood pressure, poor circulation, high cholesterol, eczema, acne, allergies, weight loss and weight gain (use before meals to lose weight, after meals to gain weight), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, cancer and many more.
I personally drink 8 oz of the Gingerade flavor by Gt’s Organic Raw Kombucha most mornings.

Weekly wonderful word
to have complete confidence or faith in, to allow without fear, the trait of believing in the honesty and reliability of others
Emu oil

I have been using emu oil as my daily moisturizer for about a year now and I cant imagine I will ever stop. Emu oil comes from the fat of the emu bird, native to Australia, which are now farmed throughout the world. When applied to the skin emu oil penetrates quickly and draws the blood to the area increasing circulation and resulting in smooth healthy skin. Emu oil is anti- inflammatory, hypoallergenic and does not clog pores.
Emu oil has wonderful internal health benefits too and contains essential fatty acids and omega oils 3,6 and 9. Essential fatty acids (EFA's) are fats that humans must get from their diet because we cannot manufacture or synthesize them. Our bodies need essential fatty acids in order to maintain a healthy immune system.
Emu oil has been used for thousands of years by the Australian Aborigines and is being used more and more today throughout the world for burns, bruises, scars, stretch marks, wounds, pain management, fibromyalgia, lyme disease, arthritis, psoriasis, hair loss, diabetes and attention deficit disorder (ADD), to name a few!
Apply externally as needed to the desired area and massage in.
Take 1 to 3 teaspoons internally daily.
