By Margaret Harris


Human beings' nails, hair an skin have been used as markers of beauty for ages. Sadly for some though, these eternal body features are affected by conditions that affect their appearance. For those on the search for a natural remedy for skin hair and nails, there are many options available.

There are two basic categories into which these remedies fall. One is internal while the other is external. For the internal remedies, consumption is required for the benefits to be reaped. The external ones are basically topical applications that are used in a similar fashion to cosmetics. Both types of remedies have been identified as successful by users.

One remedy that is taken internally is folic acid. Folic acid is one of the key nutrients recommended by nutritionists fr its many health benefits. It has beauty benefits too though. Inside the body, it promotes the generation and replenishing of healthy cells including the cells of hair nails and epidermis. This great vitamin is found in vegetables such as spinach that are leafy and green. Whole foods and many other foods are today fortified with folic acid.

Another internally applied natural remedy for beautiful and healthy external features is royal jelly. This food supplement is a bee product. It is fed to the queen bee who outlives all in the hive. Royal jelly has a lot of b vitamins and is popular for its ability to ensure long healthy tresses and beautiful skin. Royal jelly is available in capsule form as well as in gel form.

Yet another great topical treatment for beauty purposes is castor oil. This oil is taken from the seeds of the castor plant. Its use as a beauty and health enhancer dates back to many centuries ago. When this oil is rubbed into the skin it helps to reduce the signs of aging or keep them at bay. It also helps to minimize the appearance of scars. It also strengthens tresses and promote length.

Many have found great results with cocoa butter. Cocoa butter in its most natural form is used to improve the appearance of human epidermis. It is recommended that pregnant women massage this cream into their bellies to prevent stretch marks. Cocoa butter, when melted and massaged into the follicles and strands, promotes growth and a healthy glow. Breakage of both hair and nails is prevented with the use of this cream as it prevents dryness.

Shea butter also has its place among the best of what nature provides for beauty. It prevents dryness and dandruff when applied to the scalp. It also strengthens and moisturizes hair and skin. It also has vitamin E which is great for skin, nail and hair health.

With so many amazing natural ways to ensure that hair nail and epidermis are healthy, there is really no excuse for complacency. Some remedies are available naturally which means that they are economical to use. Quite often, they are cheaper than the alternatives and have fewer and sometimes no adverse effects. This makes them the ideal choice for many.
