Years ago, there was a product on the market for Health Practitioners and licensed Bodyworkers to use for health and hygiene. Over time it was validated that this hygiene trick boosted the wellness of the health care professional in avoiding viruses, parasites and other demands of the practitioner’s immune system in public health care. We have combined these essential ingredients and have used as well as sold this product in our Wellness Center.
Pathogens like to hide under our fingernails and then enter our body through our nasal passages and our mouths. We then touch our faces and mouths. The product was produced by one company but it was later purchased by another then promptly removed from the market. Hmm. Oh well, that could be a discussion for another day…
I am sharing this recipe that you can easily make at home, with ingredients you can easily purchase. During COVID the importance of hand hygiene was highlighted in educating the public to cleanse their hands. This product is “easy to make and easy to use”! Discover this unique life hygiene practice by using this Fingernail and Hand Soap to thwart pathogens of our current life. Also, see the Facial Dip, another unique life hygiene practice to address an “easy to make and easy to use” nasal cleansing management for immune building! This is still a valuable practice to consider now in our post COVID world as a general good health/hygiene daily life gem!
- 1 Bar Kirks Bar Soap – Coconut base
- 1/4 cup food grade Hydrogen Peroxide
- 21 drops Grape seed extract
- 12 drops Lugo’s Iodine
- 1/8 cup White Lightening or GF Vodka can be an added disinfectant
- Decorative Jar, Ball wide mouth, 250 ml size, can be ordered on line or purchased in Walmart or Fry’s
- Plastic Lid for wide mouth jar
- Natural Bristle Nail Brush – Natural Grocers, Health Food Stores
- Take Bar of Soap – cut in half and place in jar
- Pour the Hydrogen Peroxide and Grape seed Extract over the Soap
- Shake the ingredients well and let set over night.
- The fluids will have started absorbing into the soap and softening the soap.
- After this, it’s best to add the alcohol to the formula and with clean spatula or butter knife, mix and stir in.
- This becomes a finger dip. You dip your fingernails in a couple of times to work the solution under your nails.
- Then you take your natural bristle nail brush, wet it and begin cleaning under your nails.
- This will foam; you set the brush aside and slather your hands with the soap counting seconds to give full coverage and exposure as you thoroughly wash hands and lower forearms.
