as salaam alaikum single brothers and sistars, those of us who are not getting any TLC tender loving care,because we are practicing and single, we need to take care of ourselves.
As practising Muslims we often don’t get enough touching, stroking hugs etc which are important for well being. Massaging ourselves after bathing is a good way to care care of ourselves and support the elimination of toxins. I don’t bathe every day, I don’t work in field or hot and sweaty job, so all over body washing and washing the hair every day are not necessary, once is sunnah, more than that is personal preference. I know that massaging after bathing with cream is essential for everyone but today i’m going to make an oil blend good for lymphatic drainage.
The Oils Citrus essential oils, like orange, grapefruit, and lemon, are stimulating for lymph glands.* Peppermint, ginger, and rosemary are good for circulation and will help lymph nodes drain.* Dilute with a carrier oil and rub on lymph glands under neck, arms, groin, behind knees…well kind of all over really but paying particular attention to these points. I am using rosemary, ginger orange diluted in coconut oil.
Importance of Lymph Massage Lymph flow is important to maintaining good health, as the lymphatic system is an integral part of the immune system, bathing the body’s tissues with lymph, a clear liquid, which collects bacteria, viruses, metabolic debris and other harmful substances. Lymph is then channeled to lymph nodes, where the foreign substances are destroyed or rendered non-functional by various white blood cells, or lymphocytes. The spent lymph and debris are then collected by the circulatory system and flushed out of the body via the urinary system.
Negative Effects of Bad Lymph Circulation Lymphedema describes the abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid under the skin—in other words, swelling. Swelling of this sort indicates lymphatic system insufficiency or stagnation, and is usually caused by a blockage that prevents the free flow of lymph. https://www.massagemag.com/6-essential-oils-lymphatic-drai…/

The health benefits of serotonin are as follows :-
Benefits of Serotonin:

The most important function of serotonin is the brain development. Serotonin deficiency can lead to autism and Down’s syndrome.
3. Skin benefits:
Since serotonin helps to get rid of depression, anxiety and helps one relax, it is a boon to the skin. Serotonin acts as an antidepressant drug which helps the skin to naturally glow.
As Muslims we call this glow on the skin “”“““” NUR “““““
4. Relaxation:
Serotonin is also known as “feel-good” hormone. It can help you relax. The deficiency of this chemical can promote the feelings of illness, fatigue, tiredness and sluggishness.

Dear little sistar, a letter for you about.… VIRGINITY Is a precious thing, it is something if I had my life again, knowing what I know now I wouldn’t have given away so easily but I have an excuse; I was not a Muslim, I wasn’t told but I was told by my father do not commit adultery and that’s all he said and I thought adultery was just between married people, poor thing he was too embarrassed to tell me any more than that. Virginity is a commodity some men want, especially young men, they feeling that no man has been there before, especially for the mother of their children, it is a little bit sad that in some cases it is the only thing that some men look for in a woman and they do not look for deen or intelligence. Still if you have your virginity value it, it’s a precious commodity to be looked after. As a mature woman, a mother and grandmother maasha’allah I will tell you more than that. I will tell you the things I wish I was told and we will start with a proverb from the bible, because as a Muslim we are supposed to know of the torah, the zebour, the injeel and the Quran. In the book of matthew7;6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. Virginity is a pearl, your pearl and its precious, the womb and Allah are connected Ar-Rahman , one of Allah’s most beautiful names is directly associated with the womb
In a HADITH QUDSI it is reported that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said that Allah said:
‘I Am Ar-Rahman. I created the RAHAM (womb) and derived a name for it from My Name. Hence, whoever keeps it (family ties), I will keep ties to him, and whoever severs it, I will sever ties with him.’. The order of the first three root letters is the same ر raa ح hee م maa It would do all of well to think of this and the high status of womb-man in Allah’s Plan Now we are speaking of virginity in the sense of a young woman not having any sexual experience not those nasty girls who have anal sex to keep their hymen in place, nasty on so many levels nasty. As women if we only knew that our womb and Allah are so connected, we would not be in such a rush to open our legs, even within married to the dogs and pigs. There are people who behave like dogs and pigs everywhere, even in our ummah. Our womb was created to carry life ad that life should be nurtured by an intelligent holistic mother and father who both know that mind body and soul is vital to create a wonderful new human being. As sistars do we think will that men we are speaking with for marriage, does he fear Allah? Is he disciplined? Does he guard his prayers or keep you talking on the phone all night? What’s he like with his mum and his sisters? What are his sisters like? We have already made up our mind to marry him because we have fallen for his charm thinking that we are different to all the other women before we can fix him…vanity. We should think is this man good enough to take my virginity and if we study the life of the prophet Muhammad salah la alaihi wa salem more we would have the best example to measure by. However if we are not guarding our prayers, studying Quran and sunnah enough and patterning our heart with Islam by Allah grace ..Who can we blame when we marry a less than mediocre brother? We get what we deserve… and if we do not value ourselves enough we can only blame ourselves. Virginity is precious to think careful before you FALL and by fall I mean let your guard down a\and stumble around like a drunken fool, getting confused not knowing where to go.

After a number of dissappointing experiences with hijama practioners I decided to start studying hijama myself with the intention of self administering insha’allah.
It’s a therapy recommended by the angels to prophet Muhammad,salah la alaihi wa salem, and as Muslims we strive to follow his example.
I have found it to be a beneficial therapy by the grace of Allah however I have got to the point where I feel I want to learn more about it and self administer or skill swap with friends insha’Allah God willing.
I found this amazing site, showing the various places on the body you can put hijaama cups.This site doesn’t show points on the head which I have had “cupped” in the past but insha’Allah I’ll find somewhere else.
“I did not pass by any group of angels on the night of Al-Isra, unless they said to me, O Muhammad, tell your Ummah to do Hijama” collected by the Sahih sunan of At-Tirmadee and Ibn Maja ‘Hijama’ is the Arabic for an ancient method of healing known in English as Wet Cupping or bloodletting
PRECAUTIONS NEED TO READ BEFORE CUPPING YOURSLEF OR ANYONE ELSE

10 Reasons Why You Should Drink Warm Lemon Water in the Morning
Every morning , after prayer, I drink room temperature water with fresh lemon juice and this is why…
LEMON WATER
Boosts your immune system Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is great for fighting colds. They are high in potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also helps control blood pressure.
Balances pH Drink lemon water every day and you will reduce your body’s overall acidity. Lemon is one of the most alkaline foods around. Yes lemons have citric acid but it doesn’t create acidity in the body once metabolized.
Helps with weight loss Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet lose weight faster.
Promotes digestion Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials. It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that is required for digestion. Efficient digestion reduces heartburn and constipation.
It is a diuretic Lemons increase the rate of urination in the body, which helps purify it. Toxins are released at faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.
Clears the skin The vitamin C component helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Warm lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well. You can apply it directly to scars to help reduce their appearance.
Freshens breath Not only that, it can also help relive tooth pain and gingivitis. Careful though….the citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so monitor the amount you are drinking.
Relives respiratory problems Warm lemon water helps get rid of chest infections and coughs. It’s known to be helpful to people with asthma and allergies as well.
Keeps you Zen Vitamin C is one of the first things depleted when you are under stress.
Helps kick the coffee habit After taking a glass of warm lemon water, you will have less craving for coffee in the morning.
THE FEMININE FLUX- AN ISSUE OF OUR TIME…..before Allah guided me to Islam I was Christian, then a Rasta and when I heard Bob Marley say ” stand up for your rights!” I knew he didn’t just mean men.So I was going to stand up for my rights and by the Grace of Allah I have been doing it ever since.
Back in the Daze
as salam alaikum, what some brothers (and their female cohorts) don’t like is a sister who speaks out and no-way a pretty sister with light skin that speaks out.We are supposed to know our place.It is the beauty that attracts brothers and this is why certain sisters have more experience than other in their dialogue with brothers, especially us reverts who often don’t have a maharam and have to stand up for ourselves, alhmdulilah maasha’allah, we stand up for ourselves and this is what SOME people don’t like, people male and female who come from cultures where women are oppressed.Those cultures are not Islamic, they might be Muslim but they are not Islamic.
As women we are supposed to know our place.
“Where’s that? Underneath your foot?”” I asked one infamous serial polygamist brother who wanted me as part of his transient hareem.
Their Islam is based on culture , conjecture(conjuror) and personal interpretation.They are ignorant of the vibrant dynamic out spoken women who were the wives of the prophet Muhammad(salah la alaihi wa salem) and the sahabiyaat).These women did not do dumb, they spoke up, they asked uncomfortable questions, they challenged and confronted the likes of umar ibn al kitab(radiahu anah)……..and they lowered their gaze when needs be.Let me say this again, they lowered their gaze when needs be…..these were balanced dynamic mode not suck in one mode of thinking.Their connection with Allah was such that they were guided and Allah didn’t guide them to be doormats.These women were on the battlefield as soldiers and doctors and nurses.Do you seriously think a woman who is on the battle field will come home and say” yes sir, no sire three bags full sir masssa?”
No she won’t. like the prophet’s wives , she will challenge you if she thinks you are wrong.
oh muslim ummah study the deen, look at the wife of umar al kitab , she used to argue with him but he valued all teh good this women sis for him. Too many brothers are boys in long trousers, spoilt by your mothers and by spoilt i mean useless like bad apple, no good to any decent sister which is why you end up marrying your cousins because when we use an islam criterion to judge you as a potential husband you come up so lacking.
It is not that we are “Westernised” that we are not married, its not because we are old that we are not married, it is not that we are not on the deen that we are not married, its not that we are ugly that we are not married, it is not that we have bad relations with our families that we are not married.It is not that we are bad mannered that we are not married. It is because we are on our deen, we do not need a man to get us up for fajr becasue Allah is our Wali, Allah wakes us for Suhour, Allah commands our hijaab we do it to please Him,we guard our prayers, we guard our deen, we guard our private parts, we are not just pretty we are stunning,maasha’allah, we strive to balance our career with good deeds and we are good to our mothers and good to our family, by The Grace Of Allah.
So yes we will be fussy because we are gems, we are diamonds, we are pearls, alhmdulilah maasha’allah.
It is the ignorance and lack of application of studying the culture and personalities surrounding the Prophet, salah la alaihi wa salem, that make people come out with statements that in fact wrong themselves because of their ignorance and trying to impose that ignorance on others, may Allah help us to be more honest and clear in our application to studying islam ameen, may Allah make it easy for us especially the brothers to apply that islamic knowledge and be better leader, men that command our respect because of good character ameen
Most nutritional business wants you to buy their products rather than their information, which is often lacking because the people selling to you are not qualified nutritionist.
A qualified nutritionist will teach you, show you and give you information, when applied, will empower you to make conscious choices when she is not around.
When you are ready to invest in yourself, I would love to hear from you.
Until such time…
The dairy industry, especially in the USA, needs to find an outlet for dairy produce, as people are moving away from drinking milk to healthy alternatives like nut milks, they need to find somewhere to channel diary as it’s an invested commodity stock.
Too many of these so called health weight loss or training drink contain powdered whey protein, this is just another processed form of milk. Not good for you in the long run. Or worst than that, some protein shakes actually contain some sort of dried beef meat.
Whey From Cow’s Milk
According to the Mayo clinic “ Whey protein may cause abnormal heart rhythms, changes in cholesterol levels, headache, increased diabetes risk, increased fracture or osteoporosis risk, kidney dysfunction, liver damage, stomach or intestine symptoms (acid reflux, bloating, constipation, cramps, gas, increased bowel movements, movement problems, nausea, reduced appetite, swelling of limbs, and upset stomach), and thirst. Whey protein may lower blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in people with diabetes or low blood sugar, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Blood sugar levels may need to be monitored by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, and medication adjustments may be necessary.
Whey protein may increase the risk of bleeding. Caution is advised in people with bleeding disorders or in those taking drugs that may increase the risk of bleeding. Dosing adjustments may be necessary.
Whey protein may interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver’s “cytochrome P450” enzyme system.
Whey protein may cause low blood pressure. Caution is advised in people with low blood pressure or in those taking drugs or herbs and supplements that lower blood pressure.
Drowsiness or sedation may occur. Use caution if driving or operating heavy machinery.
Use cautiously in people who take medications, including agents that affect the immune system and agents that lower cholesterol.
Use cautiously in people with stomach or intestine disorders.
Avoid in people with known allergy or sensitivity to milk or milk products, including cow’s milk, sheep’s milk, goat’s milk, and mare’s milk.
Avoid in people who are avoiding the use of dairy products.
Avoid using whey protein long-term and in excessive amounts.
Only approved sources of whey protein should be used in infant formulas.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
There is a lack of scientific evidence on the use of whey protein during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Only approved sources of whey protein should be used in infant formulas. Allergic reactions have been reported with exposure to whey protein, including diarrhea, failure to thrive, infant colic, and rash.”
If you want quick unhealthy results, this powders that you mix with water twice a day are the answer.
If you truly wan to make conscious choices about want you eat, what you put into your body investing in a personal nutritionist who will show you, teach you over a short space of time, what you can do to help yourself where ever you may find yourself.
… VIRGINITY Is a precious thing, it is something if I had my life again, knowing what I know now I wouldn’t have given away so easily but I have an excuse; I was not a Muslim, I wasn’t told but I was told by my father do not commit adultery and that’s all he said and I thought adultery was just between married people, poor thing he was too embarrassed to tell me any more than that. Virginity is a commodity some men want, especially young men, they feeling that no man has been there before, especially for the mother of their children, it is a little bit sad that in some cases it is the only thing that some men look for in a woman and they do not look for deen or intelligence. Still if you have your virginity value it, it’s a precious commodity to be looked after. As a mature woman, a mother and grandmother maasha’allah I will tell you more than that. I will tell you the things I wish I was told and we will start with a proverb from the bible, because as a Muslim we are supposed to know of the torah, the zebour, the injeel and the Quran. In the book of matthew7;6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. Virginity is a pearl, your pearl and its precious, the womb and Allah are connected Ar-Rahman , one of Allah’s most beautiful names is directly associated with the womb
