Healing Hands for Everyday

Rough hands are a dead give away of age.  Did you know that the skin on the back of your hands is as delicate as the skin on your face?  And yet at times we do not always treat our hands very well; we garden, we wash dishes and we scrub floors, some of us sculpt and paint while others are musicians.  Sometimes we wear gloves to protect our hands and sometimes we do not. 

The hands are used everyday for healing; whether it is the nurse taking your vitals, the chiropractor making corrective adjustments, the massage therapist working out the stress in your muscles or the Reiki practioner doing energy work on your body, our hands are energy centers.  Sense your own energy center by lightly rubbing your hands together and then concentrate on feeling the energy in your hands and fingers.

Take a few moments to think of how you use your hands daily for healing; brushing your childs hair, caressing a loved one, preparing your family meals, cleansing your skin, sewing, knitting, quilting, felting, sculpting, painting, typing, the list goes on.  Have you ever had someone tell you that your hands are really rough and scratchy?  It can be hard to be the recipient of a touch of someone with rough hands.

To keep hands smooth use products with rich and emollient ingredients such as cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado oil, olive oil, vitamin e.  Make sure that products are alcohol free. Listed below are a few of the healing properties of these emollient ingredients.

Cocoa Butter provides a protective layer that holds moisture to the skin, making it a soothing emollient to soften skin. Shea Butter is high in anti-oxidants and skin nourishing properties, this butter also provides natural protection from harmful UV rays.  Avocado Oil has a very high content of vitamin a and vitamin e, potassium, rich in proteins and fatty acids. Great nourishing properties needed to treat dry, dehydrated or damaged skin. This oil is known to regenerate cells and soften body tissue.  Olive Oil attracts external moisture while holding the moisture close to the skin to prevent loss of internal moisture. Olive oil does not block the natural functions of the skin. Vitamin E is an oil soluble and deep moisturizing vitamin with excellent anti-oxidant properties.
