You should probably be able to add it, however Vitamin D is a hormone and it is possible to get too much from supplements. If you do add it you might want to keep an eye on vitamin D levels to make sure they don’t become toxic.

Castor oil is much stickier and isn’t solid at room temperature like coconut oil. You could replace a small amount of the coconut oil with castor oil but it might have more of a lip gloss feel.

Comment on Health Benefits of Sumac (& Creative Ways to Use It) by Jean https://wellnessmama.com/remedies/sumac-benefits/comment-page-1/#comment-495727 Mon, 11 Nov 2024 03:17:09 +0000 https://wellnessmama24.wpenginepowered.com/?p=447796#comment-495727 All these ideas are awesome. Sumac has been in my life for years. As a child, I often wandered off, whenever there were patches of trees areas in the city. I constantly got in trouble with my parents having me come home late. We had an area where I could be free of everything, and just enjoy nature. The little Sumac trees were delightful, because they were an umbrella fortress, where I could hide or wander beneath the twisty branches. I picked fruit off the once tended orchards of peaches, apples pears and plums. I was a good snake catcher for a girl. I knew by instinct where they hid, but never looked it up. These days I research everything regarding health, and my good friend in Texas mentioned how beneficial Sumac was. I have a Sumac tree in my east section of the garden area. I clip it like a Topiary, and enjoy that the small baby Sumacs sneak all over, some I allow to flourish, and shape them into graceful showoffs. Mine are red now, and will soon lose their leaves, but I can look forward to trim them again in spring. I just cut out branches to lessen the heaviness in areas. They definitely are a nice addition to any garden, and great for what they offer our health

I think they work incredibly for scouring. I save them then grind to a powder, they’ve removed burnt food from pans and clean my glass cooktop as well.

Front loader washing machines are notorious for growing mold and mildew on the door seal so they need extra attention to help mitigate these issues. Here’s how to help keep them clean! https://wellnessmama.com/natural-home/clean-washing-machine/ Katie’s family uses a top loader Speed Queen which doesn’t have the problems HE front loaders do.

It should be whatever the shelf life is on the cod liver oil you buy (and kept refrigerated if your cod liver oil requires refrigeration).
