Natural Health Tips

ASTHMA: Mix 1 tsp. honey with 1/2 tsp. Watkins cinnamon and take it at night before going to bed.

DRY SKIN: Combine 1 cup oatmeal, 1 cup warm water, 1 Tbsp. Watkins vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup baking soda in a blender or food processor until you have a smooth paste. Pour this paste under the running water while drawing the bath. Very soothing to dry, itchy skin.

MUCUS IN COUGH: Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1/2 tsp. each of Watkins ginger, Watkins ground cloves, and Watkins cinnamon. Filter. Sweeten with 1 tsp. honey and drink.

STOMACH ACHE: A simple cure for a stomachache is to dissolve 1 1/2 tsp. Watkins ground cinnamon in 1 cup warm water, cover and let sit for 15 minutes, then drink it like tea. This remedy can also ease diarrhea and flatulence.

VOMITING AND NAUSEA: Watkins cinnamon and sliced ginger work by interrupting nausea signals sent from the stomach to the brain. If you are an herbal tea drinker, simply sprinkle cinnamon on the tea and drink. To make ginger tea, simmer a few slices of ginger in hot tea water.

Watkins Natural Body Oils

J.R. Watkins soothing body oils are a rich blend of luxurious natural oils regarded for their anti-aging and nourishing qualities. Pour a small amount into a bath or smooth into skin immediately after bathing—your skin will thank you!

• All body oils are 99.50% natural and above.
• Available in four essences: aloe & green tea, lemon cream, lavender and mango.
• Use in bath or as an all-over body oil.
• Perfect for massages and cuticle care.
• Natural oils include grapeseed, macadamia, apricot, avocado and safflower oil.
• Leaves a soft, non-greasy feel.
• Packaged in Watkins exclusive glass Trial Mark bottle.

Essential Ingredients:

• Grapeseed Oil: Produced from the residue of grapes that have been pressed for wine. Recently
“rediscovered” as a cooking oil for its hearthealthy blend of linoleic acid and antioxidants, it has long been a favorite massage oil. It is cleansing, toning, very light and odorless, and absorbs easily through the skin.

• Macadamia Nut Oil: This rejuvenating body oil has a warm, nutty aroma and excellent spreadability with no greasy feel. Its fatty acid composition is similar to that of natural skin
oils (sebum), including some of the acids that are crucial to the maintenance of the skin’s water barrier functions. It is excellent for daily skin care to moisturize and soften the skin.

• Apricot Kernel Oil: This oil is similar in texture and properties to almond oil (you’ll notice that
the pit of an apricot looks remarkably like an almond), and is in the same category as olive oil
and avocado oil. Apricot kernel oil is considered by many chemists to be an excellent natural
replacement for mineral oil; it is rapidly absorbed by the skin and has a high vitamin E content.

• Avocado Oil: Delivers essential fatty acids, and contains vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids),
plus exceptionally high amounts of vitamins D, E and potassium to help keep skin moist and
smooth. Avocado oil has the highest penetration rate among similar oils.

• Sulfates
• Chemical Sunscreens
• Petro Chemicals
• Glycols

Caring for your bathroom sink!

Wiping your bathroom sink with a sponge after every use will prevent soap scum and lime or mineral deposits from building up. Clean bathroom sinks and counters with your favorite Watkins All Purpose Cleaner. Avoid abrasives on porcelain. Use a toothbrush and a strong natural cleaner to scrub grime that builds up around faucets. Rinse well.

Don't forget to clean your lint filter!

It's amazing how much lint clothing creates on a lint filter in the dryer, but even more amazing is how many people don't know the importance of cleaning their lint filters. Here are a few tips for keeping your dryer clean:

• Wipe down the exterior and interior of your dryer weekly with Watkins Dish Soap and water to remove lint from the outside and inside of your dryer.
• Clean your lint filter each time you use the dryer to provide the best results for drying clothes and keeping your home safe. Built up dryer lint can provide an environment for fire. It's a good idea to occasionally vacuum around the lint filter area to get loose particles.
• Do a seasonal check for buildup of lint in the hoses and around the dryer.

Why kids are more vulnerable to chemicals…

Living Naturally

These days everyone is making a greater effort to conserve the planet's resources. Words like carbon footprint, sustainability, and green have become common place in our society. We're all taking a closer look at how our day-to-day activities affect the resources we have for future generations. Watkins has been a pioneer in living naturally since 1868.

Why kids are more vulnerable to chemicals…

Children are much more sensitive than adults to chemicals in the environment. Exposure to a chemical that causes no discernible effect in an adult can cause significant harm to an infant. Some reasons for this include:

• Children frequently have their hands in their mouths, making it more likely that they will ingest toxins with which they come in contact.
• Children have a faster metabolism — pound for pound, children eat more food and breathe more air than adults.
• Children play on the floor, where many toxins in the home settle.
• Children's metabolic pathways are immature, and they are less able to detoxify and excrete toxins that get into their system.
• Children are undergoing rapid development, and organ systems that are disrupted while in the middle of growing may fail to form correctly.
• Children have more years for toxins to accumulate in their bodies and reach unsafe levels.

Watkins all-natural, plant-based homecare products are the perfect solution. Children really are the heart of the Green movement and doesn't it really come down to doing what is best for our kids?
