Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Scuze the pun. Literally, from pork, to lacto fermented foods. With everyone always looking for " cures " how in the world did this get by most of us? :) I mean even parasites?? Now neti pots, salt inhalers, to the warm " salt water flushes " ,(big hint!) salt is definately the single most endocrine/adrenal lifting ionic mineral solution in the third demension and world that ever has or ever will exsist. Spider veins, varicose veins IBS, Chrones, excema, lung issues, Candida, cancer, I mean the list would clog the list. Just the new latest and greatest baking soda cancer cure ( " sodium " bicarboante) is astonishing. It's ionic like bentonite clays are! Now there's the malabsorbtion secret! That's why the ionic iodines are so non toxic and awesome too! Makes Dr. Lams " adrenal " healing protocol look like a weak solution. Because of what I have actually seen with my own two eyes in recent months, I have decided to make a few mineral salt inhalers, and some mineral salt soap for Christmas gifts. A " cure " basket. I FINALLY tried making soap and succeeded!! Yeah! I found a picture of a soap I wanted to try, with no recipe. I tried finding a recipe but could not. So I found and made another salt bar recipe. It is curing now, and am I excited!! It is not pretty, and does not look at all like the picture I have included but I hope it will be soothing just the same. It is very heavy with goodness. Coconut oil will lather with salt, so that is what I used with a hint of Castor oil. It will be a wonderful deorderant, and moisturizer for me in balancing the ph of my skin. Anti bacterial, anti fungal, anti bacterial, clay, salt, and coconut oil. Bye-bye to my contact dermatitis (excema). Also many wash their hair with nothing more than baking soda, so I thought this bar would be great for shampoo too. Clay also, from what I have read, helps to keep the water drawing content of the salt down. I do not want a fine salt that will not exfoliate and wind up being a smooth bar of soap. I would like a rougher salt, which is why I love the look of this soap so much. The skin on my face looks better every day since exfoliating with just plain mineral salts. Anyway, I have the picture of the soap I want to make just for myself and immediate out of state family. I want to send them a gift that keeps on giving that does not weight too much postage. Could somebody PLEASE direct me in a path that would tell a very inexperienced soap maker how to make this particular salt bar type? I have looked and looked and can't find one for this particular bar. Would you please look and let me know what you think? http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11146559 Thank you so very much!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Here is a recipe we've used _http://theessentialherbal.blogspot.com/2005/11/salt-soap-recipe.html_ (http://theessentialherbal.blogspot.com/2005/11/salt-soap-recipe.html) You can use whatever size salt you like. This sets up so quickly that I cannot imagine how anyone swirls it.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Homemade soap is wonderful for moisturizing the skin, but it does not balance pH. Soap has a naturally high pH. The normal pH of skin is slightly acidic (4-6). This low pH is part of the defense mechanism the skin has to defend itself from bacterial infection. Using soap disrupts this causing the skin to become too basic (alkaline). Some people will use a toner or a distillate to restore the pH balance of their skin after using soap.
