Applesauce Face Mask
Here's a tasty recipe for oily skin, but you don't eat it. This goes on the face for a soothing relief of an oily face.
Ingredients:
1 quartered apple
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried herb (you can use sage, lavender, parsley, rosemary, peppermint, chamomile, or your preference.)
Cook the quartered apple pieces until they are soft enough to mash up. Mash the apple into a pulp and strain out the solids. Discard the solids. To the remaining liquid, add the lemon juice and herb and mix well.
Apply this mixture to your face as a mask. Leave the mask on for 5 minutes and them wash off with warm water. Apply a moisturizer.
Stay Healthy!

| Yucca |
A tea made from the root is used internally to treat arthritis, gout, prostatitis, rheumatism and urethritis. The fresh, undried flowers have shown some anti-tumour activity. The has been used to treat Addison's Disease, osteoporosis and some kidney diseases.
Yucca is rich in Vitamin A, B-complex, and contains some Vitamin C. It is also high in calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, manganese and copper. Yucca root contains precursors to cortisone, and improves the body's ability to manufacture its own cortisone.
Usual Dosage: Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1-2 teaspoons dried leaves, steep for 10 minutes, strain. Take 1/4 cup up to 3 times per day. Or take 1470mg of standardised supplement up to 3 times per day.
Dosage For Arthritis:
Although the exact dosage of yucca for arthritis is unclear, some sources suggest up to 2 grams of yucca root in capsules per day. Alternatively, 1/4 ounce (7 grams) of the root can be boiled in a pint of water for 15 minutes. Three to five cups of this tea may be taken each day.
Yucca root can be used as a poultice for bone breakages and sprains, and for rheumatism.
The tea can be used to treat dandruff and hair loss when applied topically.
Other Uses: The root can be used for soap, suitable for bathing or laundry. An extract of the root is often included in commercial shampoos.
