"Avocado Salve A Lvocados are for more than guacamole. Next time you're tossing the skins from the scooped-out fruit, consider using the hol-lowed-out peels as a skin conditioner and softener.

"Eat nachos, chimichangas, guacamole, and taco salad shells only rarely. Fill up on fajitas, entrees with shredded meat, soft corn tortillas, salsa, rice or black beans. • French. Lovely as they are, limit entrees with these words: pate, creme, au gratin, fromage, hollandaise, en croute, bearnaise, mousse, foie gras, or pastry. Instead, enjoy the delicate flavor of fruit sauces and choose poached, roasted, or en papillote dishes. • Indian, Thai, and Island fare. Limit the amount of fritters and coconut dishes, and indulge in marinated, steamed, stir-fried, tandoori, Tikka, and satay dishes." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

It helps bring protein to the hair shaft and, since protein deficiency makes hair brittle, avocado naturally moisturizes hair.

To make a tincture that will make your hair look and smell great, mix herbs like chamomile, rose, lavender, rosemary, burdock, sandalwood, evening primrose oil, cedarwood, rose geranium, and calendula with any of the above oils or aloe vera gel." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)
