Welcome Back, Everyone!
 
As Nalini was out of the country throughout February, we decided to postpone last month's newsletter till March. 
 
This newsletter is extended and includes two herbs and recipes of the month.  We also included our new product: Vitamist.
 
Also, because Nalini has been out for three weeks, please make arrangements to schedule appointments in advance to get the date and times needed.  Normally we also don't take walk-ins. 
As we have had some "no-shows" recently, we want to send out a reminder that we do have a cancellation policy:  If a client does not cancel an appointment and does not show up, we will charge the client for the value of the service scheduled or will not schedule with the client again.  We require cancellations to be made atleast 24 hours before the appointment.  We also require a credit card number (or Nalini's gift card number) on hold to schedule any Time-Outs, Day of Beautys or to schedule several appointments at one time.
 
Website Update
♦  We now have a brand new guestbook up and running on our salon website: www.nalinis.comIf you have any testimonials, comments, or experience with us please sign our guestbook.  Click on the link on the front page that says, "Nalinis' testimonials and guestbook."
♦ The website may be under construction throughout the month for New sections being added such as the new "Gallery" or "Herbalpedia."  The Before & After Permanent Makeup pictures section is down for now, but you can view the old link by clicking the following: Before & After Permanent Makeup Pictures.

Herb of February:   Nettle

Nettle Herb Benefits

 
The nettle plant can found naturally in most temperate regions of the world.  Historically, nettle has been used to relieve coughs, tuberculosis, arthritis, and to stimulate hair growth.
 
Many researchers believe that polysaccharides and lectins are most likely to be the main constituents.

Herb of March:  Cleavers

 
 
The primary action of the Cleavers herb is a diuretic one: it assists in the elimination of wastes, while strengthening the lymphatic system and promoting lymphatic drainage of toxins and wastes so that they can be excreted via the urinary system. In addition, this eliminative nature assists in healing skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Nettles and Cleavers
Amazing Green Drink Recipe
 

I've been experimenting with juicing nettles to make a seriously green vegetable juice. I juiced a huge handful of cleavers stems, another big handful of nettle stems, and some nice sweet apples. The resulting green drink is far too green to drink a large glass of, but makes an excellent substitute for wheatgrass juice.

  • 3 apples
  • 1 large handful of cleavers
  • 1 large handful of nettles 
 
You'll need a juicer that handles greens well for this one!
 
Core and slice the apples to fit your juicer.
Feed in the cleavers and nettles.

Drink a tequila shot glass of it for a fantastic pick me up - not a huge glass like the one pictured above!
