Oh My FRESHLY MADE Wheat Grass Toothpaste

This toothpaste recipe is a classic one with baking soda and coconut oil as a base. To make a TOP GEAR TOOTHPASTE I added liquid chlorophyll from wheat grass juice. Wheat grass has antibacterial properties and as a bonus chlorophyll has strong whitening effect on the teeth (so has baking soda). ONE brush or ONE Grass Gum and the difference is seen! Try it! It is easy to make. Like baking mini cup cakes. Take out a mini cake from the freezer and one got fresh toothpaste daily. (When making this batch I did different kinds of flavors. One is with turmeric and NEEM oil. One was with Clove oil). Pic below.

Grass Gum - chew on a bundle of grass!

One can also chew on a bundle of grass after brushing the teeth. (A hand full of grass will become the size of a gum.) The gum becomes fresher than fresh and the teeth... oh the teeth! Like Velvet.

Oh My FRESHLY MADE Wheat Grass Deodorant

The Deodorant is also a classic recipe. Again, I added liquid chlorophyll wheatgrass juice for the same reason as above; to get a TOP GEAR DEODORANT. Chlorophyll is also known to be a good neutralizer. And as a bonus, using it on the skin, it has a calming effect. Using pure baking soda on the skin can make it red-ish, but with both the coconut oil and the Chlorophyll it is prevented as a negative bi effect. Pure baking soda is a good on the road.

These two combined, the tooth paste and chewing grass brings with a result of a clean, white and healthy teeth/mouth environment. The whiteness is instant. The deodorant has maximum efficiency. Long lasting. No stains on clothes. No aluminium and other chemicals in sight. Happy Brushing! Happy Deodorant'ing. Enjoy!

Oh Hello again!

The season has shifted since last time! The grass is still growing and the seeds are still sprouting! My mind too. Growing and sprouting. Let's see...where were we the last time/post? Barley&Beauty. Still using it and it is awesome! During the summer TOOTHPASTE with WHEATGRASS JUICE and DEODORANT with ditto has been in the works. Chewing on a hand full of grass after brushing the teeth aswell. (On my hikes I chew it like a gum.) The toothpaste and the deodorant will be the next post coming up.

Indoor Garden - The Autumn Windows

Growing grass in Autumn Windows is much more practical then Summer Windows. The afternoon sun has been intense in heat and the grass has showed it was not to their likening (...a lot of whining it has been...). Wheat grass prefers a cooler temp, 65F/18C is a good one. It has been my first English summer and warmer than I expected. Lots of moving trays and putting them back in the windows after the sun went down the Yorkshire horizon.

All is good in the world of Chlorophyll! Enjoy todays version of Autumns Windows!

Summer 2014...more B3

Super Enjoy more Barley Beauty BLISS! I have not put the other barley bliss recipes one by one. As I said. Here they are all in one post. After all it is the same base! Grounded whole barley! Just a matter of texture, more or less gritty, of the flour.

facial/body wash, scrub & mask

BBB#1+2 facial wash & mask

WASH: Grind the barley grains to fine flour. Take a few table spoons of flour and add some teaspoons of water and mix it to a milky cream. I have a glass jar in the bathroom and take 1 table-spoon directly in my hand, adding water, and mix it in the hands. MASK: Make a thicker sloppy dough and cover the face. Let it dry. Silky skin!

BBB#3 facial scrub

Grind the grains less than the facial wash. Gritty texture. Do the same as above. Mix it the hands or do facial scrub balls (pic below) The Scrub is ready! Faster than the speed of light. I like the scrub balls. Invented because it was just fun working with the texture in the hands. This is a gentle scrub.

BBB#4 body scrub

Well, grind even less than the facial scrub! I mixed the grounded flour with grounded whole lavender for a nice fragrance. (pic below)

It's easy to take to the shower/tub. Small scrubbing balls!

Something like this!

Summer 2014 - B3

I didn't search for it really. Even if natural beauty production is a G R A N D interest. This one though, just manifested itself in front of me, as a bi manifestation from a decision of growing more barley grass. Remedies & recipes, both internal & external, were flooding my way. A NEW BEAUTY WORLD! The World of Beauty by Barley! From ancient Greek, to modern Asia and India; humans before us have all used barley as a beauty product and internal cleanser throughout history. And still do. Early summer 2014 I entered this world too! Changing beauty life! All my skin care is now purely barley based for the summer. BBB: Beauty Bliss by Barley.

Yin and Cool

Barley has a cooling effect of the body according the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In addition to view food in just vitamins, minerals, proteins etc., TCM add energy properties. Energy and the movement in the body. The effect the food has on the body, not the food itself. The five energies are cold, hot, warm, cool and neutral. Barley is defined as Ying and cool. Even if drinking hot barley water (tea), the effect on the body system is coolness. The facial water is nice to spray on the face during hot days. It is so simple, easy and time efficient to make. A b s o l u t l e y G e n i u s!

I'm now 'cooking' four products in my basic 'body and face' care this summer. I have used them all daily for nearly a week. 1) Barley Facial Scrub 2) Barley Facial Wash 3) Barley Facial Water and 4) Barley Facial Mask 5) Barley Body Scrub. That's five! It's so magic I can't keep track of all the barley remedies I'm cooking! Me and Barley are ONE I guess, as eating, drinking barley (grass juice and barley water) and barley all over the body. All products are made of whole grain barley. Nothing else. Barley grains = A glowing, clean and silky skin! The blood circulation gets activated when using the barley mask and one feels how productive barley is to work with the skin. I like Barley.

Super Enjoy Your Barley Beauty BLISS! I will post all beauty by barley recipes, one by one.

how to make barley facial water

clean the grains

Clean the grains properly. I put the grains in a bowl with cold water and stir. Rinse and repeat.

boil barley & water

Bring to boil and then simmer for 20 mins. Keep a lid on.

color shade after boiling

Gold-ish in colour. Smells good. Taste good too.

fill all the spray bottles you've got!

I use these small ones (got them in my favorite chinese store in Barcelona). I filled them w/rose-water I got from the Pakistan store; rose-water facial. Perfect during hot hiking days. I've got bottles everywhere, in all bags! Keeping the ones I don't use in the fridge.

spray! spray! spray!
