2017 Coffee Tea Clay Mud Acv Avj Ayurveda Challenge

[Aggie]

@Aggie @IDareT'sHair You Ladies are too kind! I'm still learning so I'm sharing as I figure it out. LOL

Please keep on sharing your recipes with us @lulu97. I want to start using my powders and herbs and your recipes give me ideas on how to use them up .

 

[Aggie]

I just finished massaging my scalp with my Curly Proverbz growth oil and used some QB CTDG on my hair and sealed with Bekura Black Tisane Tea-To-Oil Hair Conserve.

 

[GGsKin]

Prepared some fermented rice water for whenever wash day may be. I need to get some mason jars and stop using my nice decanter for this but it's working for now.

 

[imaginary]

I added some olive oil to my diy coffee oil because I was running low. It seemed fairly potent and I don't want to be introducing too much caffeine into my system.

Also yes to this! My diy senses are tingling every time she posts!

 

[Sharpened]

Thawed, raw aloe gel on wet roots only, about 0.5 oz.

Spritzed on a little catnip tea. Catnip does not seem to do much for me, probably because of the oils I use.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Will Rinse Today with:
Coffee (leftovers from this week's morning Coffee)
Guava Leaf Tea
Inner Filet AVJ

LOL! I've been trying to create an album under my profile with all my DIY mixes but I keep getting error messages. So I'll document them in the DIY thread that @Sharpened started.

@lulu97 @Sharpened
Ya'll have taken Ayurvedic and the DIY Thread to another Level.

I appreciate you Ladies and all your Brews & Blends. Glad you are part of this Challenge.


Thank you for the detailed descriptions and the documentation.

@imaginary

How did you make your coffee oil or did you buy it? I would like to have/make some myself to use on my scalp for shedding. Thanks

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Got the last bit of my Calendula, Marshmallow root & Burdock root tea mix soaking in right now. Wanted to use it all up before I moved on to something else.

I just put ground coffee beans in coconut oil (the oil doesn't really matter) and let it sit for about a month in a sunny room before straining it into another jar. You don't have to leave it for so long, most tutorials suggest you only need 2 weeks. Before you strain it, make sure to shake it up well, there's going to be a thick brown layer at the bottom of the jar, which is the extra good stuff. Also leave it to strain for a while and really squeeze as much as you can from the beans.

Alternatively, I've heard that you can also just put the beans and oil in a crockpot and leave it for several hours. I've never tried it, but maybe one day I'll get a crockpot for my infusions.

Thanks @imaginary. What are your measurements, ie, how much coffee beans to how much oil please?

 

[imaginary]

I didn't measure, actually. I just put enough to cover the bottom of the jar.

Using raw aloe on my scalp after oil rinsing daily. My scalp is in heaven right now.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Will do an:
Guava Leaf
AVJ
Rinse Tomorrow

Another Poster gave me a Kombucha Tea & ACV Rinse (Pre-Made) on a Swap. Can't wait to try it.

 

[Aggie]

This morning I used some ayurveda growth oil on my scalp and a prepoo of avj and evco on my strands. I will keep this on for 30 minutes before washing and DCing.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie

When I made my Homemade Coffee Oil (Once) I put Coffee Grounds in a Cheesecloth Tea Strainer, (for loose teas) Coconut Oil and heated it up in my mini Crock Pot.

After it cooled and hardened, I transferred it to a jar to use like a Grease. It was very strong.

I have a small aloe vera plant but it has around 3 juicy leaves on it at the moment. I plan to cut those off tonight and do an exfoliating scalp treatment (along with some other ingredients)

@Sharpened @lulu97

I wanted to share with you talented Mixtresses about the Kombucha Tea Rinse I got on a Swap.

It's called Ginger Peach Cider and it has Probiotic rich Kombucha and Raw ACV. It also has Pumpkin Seed Oil, Vitamin E & Zinc and infused botanicals.

You use x1 Tspn to 8oz cold water and apply after shampooing or DC'ing massage & rinse

@IDareT'sHair That sounds delicious. The ginger, zinc & probiotics gone have your scalp right! The ACV gone have your hair softer than a newborn baby. I have some ginger EO that I use in my shampoo but I've never thought of using Kombucha. I need to look into that yumminess!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@lulu97
I thought it sounded interesting with the Tea and the botanicals. Can't wait to try it.

The possibilities are endless.

 

[blackviolet]

I have one is it by Cream & Cocoa @IDareT'sHair? Imma pull it and use it today. We can compare results!!!

Oh, so jelly; I got too many clumsy males in my household. Your plant looks ready for a new pot soon. *sigh*

That sounds so nice... Now you got me pondering mixing ginger juice with FRW.

I bring the only feminine energy in my household as well amongst a sea of men folk. However after a few years of hand pops and swats, they fully understand to not touch my stuff. Especially my house plants and ANYTHING in my garden. LOL

Yeah I need to re-pot my aloe plant soon. She's out growing her current home.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Today:
Guava Leaf Tea
SprAngz Hair Glaze: which is a Pre-Made mix of: AVJ, ACV, Coconut & a bunch of other Oils)

Dampened with catnip tea and aloe.

Steeping some tea for either tomorrow or Wednesday to wash. A blend of fenugreek, brinraj, marshmallow root, hibiscus, chamomile, and matcha green tea.
