Toothpaste<\/h4>\n<p>We encourage our patients to go as green as possible with their beauty products and your toothpaste is no exception. Some conventional brands include an ingredient called triclosan that has been shown to be an endocrine disruptor &#8211; meaning it messes with your hormones. While triclosan is effective at killing disease-causing bacteria in your mouth, studies show concern that long-term use increases risk of creating antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. We recommend switching to one without like <a title=\"Green Beaver Star Anise Toothpaste\" href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/green-beaver-star-anise-toothpaste_11629.html?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=soc-blog&amp;utm_campaign=14jan15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Beaver&#8217;s Star Anise Toothpaste<\/a> (plus, BONUS: it tastes great!).<\/p>\n<p>To see how your toothpaste measures up, visit the <a title=\"Environmental Working Group\u2019s Skin Deep guide\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ewg.org\/skindeep\/?URI=%2Findex.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Environmental Working Group\u2019s Skin Deep Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3161\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-tea-tree-oil_19622.html?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=soc-blog&amp;utm_campaign=14jan15\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3161\" class=\"wp-image-3161 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tea-tree1-150x150.png\" alt=\"NOW Essential Oils Tea Tree Oil\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tea-tree1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/tea-tree1.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3161\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">NOW Essential Oils Tea Tree Oil<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>2. Kick That Break Out Stick<\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ll be discussing facial skin care in more detail in a future article, but for now let\u2019s consider the dreaded breakout. <a title=\"Uses for Tea Tree Oil\" href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/tea-tree-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tea tree oil<\/a> has been around for years. It\u2019s a natural antimicrobial herb, which means it is scientifically proven to kill off <i>Propionibacterium acnes <\/i>(the major bacteria behind acne). Essential oils can be damaging to the skin if used without a carrier oil. We recommend mixing it with a small amount of coconut oil or jojoba oil before dabbing it on problem spots. A good one to try is <a title=\"Now Essential Oils Tea Tree Oil\" href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-tea-tree-oil_85164.html?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=soc-blog&amp;utm_campaign=14jan15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Now Essential Oils Tea Tree Oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3162\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/womens-deodorant_520.html?ref=sheader&amp;brand_id=905&amp;ref=sheader&amp;last_constraint=clear_facet&amp;utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=soc-blog&amp;utm_campaign=14jan15\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3162\" class=\"wp-image-3162 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/deodorant-150x150.png\" alt=\"Earth Science Natural Deodorants\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/deodorant-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/deodorant.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3162\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Earth Science Natural Deodorants<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>3.

However, it\u2019s important to avoid aluminum, propylene glycol, and parabens found in conventional anti-perspirants. We have found a few brands that we love that include ingredients such as lichen and essential oils (specifically lavender and tea tree oil), which combat odour-causing bacteria. You may need to try a few brands before you find the perfect one, but stick with the hunt because its well worth it to know you aren&#8217;t absorbing toxins. P.S. Sweating is a super important mechanism for regulating body temperature and removing toxins so we definitely don\u2019t want to stop that process.

Sleeping Pills<\/h4>\n<p>Before you reach for that sleeping pill, note that the root cause of many sleep disturbances is stress and its harmful side effects. Botanicals and essential oils are two natural tools we often use to help our patients achieve restful sleep. Botanicals like lemon balm, valerian, passion flower and chamomile help to calm the nervous system.You can also use single essential oils for sleep induction, like lavender, or you can create your own personalized blend by combining scents you love. We love the combination of lavender, vanilla and a hint of citrus to help calm the mind and body before bed. Ahhhhh! We can help you determine exactly what the root issue of your sleep disturbance is and whether more advanced treatment options like melatonin supplementation or cortisol testing are right for you.<\/p>\n<p>To use\u00a0<a title=\"Hugo Naturals French Lavendar Essential Mist\" href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/hugo-naturals-french-lavendar_77530.html?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=soc-blog&amp;utm_campaign=14jan15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lavender Oil<\/a>\u00a0as a sleep aid, rub 2-3 drops of oil in your hands, and inhale slowly to calm your mind.

A high dose of lysine taken at the first prodrome (that tingling sensation) will usually be enough to return the virus to dormancy. But if a sore does occur, you can apply lysine ointment topically. Mushrooms, like Reishi, can also be beneficial for cold sore treatment. Employing these natural and effective options will keep you from taking over-the-counter and prescription anti-virals too often. Another tip is to avoid arginine containing foods such as red wine, peanuts, red meat and chocolate while you are experiencing a breakout.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]Starting fresh in the New Year is a theme we can apply to many areas of our lives: starting an exercise routine, cleaning out our closets, improving our diet, setting new personal goals, and so on, but we wanted to take things in a different direction this year [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":3153,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[653],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vitamins"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>9 Ways to Stock Your Natural Medicine Cabinet - WellBeing by Well.ca<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The New Year is the perfect time to start fresh and make changes in so many areas.
