Overview:
It is a predominantly female concern, with every woman wishing to have a radiant face and, at a minimum, without any hair. To do this, they practice waxing, hair removal with thread, tweezers, or they use dyes, in short: they struggle!
The abnormal growth of hair, hirsutism in medical terms, often happens to women with dark hair, because even if all women are hairy, in them it is more visible. So that can become an embarrassing problem, especially as they get older and their estrogen levels drop.
There are many natural, inexpensive, and good facial methods to get rid of unwanted facial hair, and that’s thanks to turmeric, a perfect ingredient for external use. Turmeric is also used to have beautiful skin.
These recipes allow either permanent hair removal, or in the medium term allow hair to be refined, bleached, or prevent regrowth. In any case, they leave the skin of the face healthy, soft, without blackheads and above all: without hair!
Turmeric will act on 4 levels: hair removal, hair colouring, hair thickness, slowing down or even stopping hair regrowth. Well, more should be said about these methods:
A permanent hair removal mask? Yes for some and no for others.
Hair removal or a mask? Both my captain.
Hair removal in one application? No! As I will specify later, it must be applied 2 or 3 times a week for one or two months to have a concrete result.
In all the methods that we are going to see, do not put the mask or the balm on the eyebrows, that goes without saying, but I prefer to specify!
Recipes of turmeric depilatory masks:
Turmeric and chickpea flour:
Effective for both light hair and thick hair, this is my favourite gentle method, a traditional Indian method.
Chickpea flour is traditionally used in India in combination with turmeric to suppress and prevent hair growth all over the body.
Women are used to using this method on themselves, but also on children to keep their skin soft, clean and hairless.
Ingredients :
1/2 bowl of chickpea flour
1/2 bowl of milk
1 heaped teaspoon of ground turmeric
1 teaspoon of fresh cream
Preparation :
Mix the turmeric and the chickpea flour, then mix with the milk and the fresh cream until you obtain a homogeneous and smooth paste.
Apply liberally to the face in the direction of hair growth, until the preparation covers all the hair.
Leave the mask on for 30 minutes, then rub the face with your hands or a slightly moistened glove, against the grain.
Then finish rinsing your face so as not to leave yellow marks.
This method should be repeated at least 2 or 3 times a week, for at least 1 or 2 months, before you see any obvious effect.
In the long term, it will allow a decrease in hair growth, a decrease in thickness, until total disappearance.
Turmeric, honey and lemon juice:
Effective on fine hairs by exfoliating effect, lemon cleanses and gum, and honey helps to soften the hairs. They both slow down hair growth, and “colour”, or rather whiten hair.
<img class="i-amphtml-intrinsic-sizer" style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; display: block !important;" role="presentation" src="data:;base64,” alt=”” aria-hidden=”true” />
It is a remedy widely used in Egypt.
Ingredients :
4 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of lemon
1 teaspoon of turmeric
Preparation :
Mix all the ingredients and apply to the face. Leave on for 20 minutes then rub with a glove and rinse with fresh water.
This method should be repeated at least 2 or 3 times a week, for at least 1 or 2 months, before you see any obvious effect.
In the long term, it will allow a decrease in hair growth and a decrease in thickness.
Turmeric and red lentils
Also thanks to its exfoliating and exfoliating effect, a mask with red lentils (masoor dal in Indian) is ideal for getting rid of hair. It is a mask used in India to purify and remove hair from the whole body.
Ingredients :
2 tablespoons of red lentils
1 or 2 tablespoons of almond milk
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
Preparation :
Mix the red lentils until you obtain a fine powder, and mix this powder with the turmeric, pour in the milk and mix until you obtain a very smooth paste.
Apply the paste on the face, leave to act for 20 min then rub with the hands or a glove.
This method should be repeated at least 2 or 3 times a week, for at least 1 or 2 months, before you see any effect.
Turmeric and wheat flour
Ingredients :
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon of wheat flour
olive oil
Preparation :
Mix the flour and turmeric. Pour in the olive oil very slowly while mixing until you get a thick paste.
Apply on your face and let sit for 30 min.
Remove by rubbing with your hands or a glove.
You will have noticed that all these methods are more or less the same, you can vary them, use other ingredients for the skin like rose water or orange blossom water.
Honey, turmeric and milk: one of the remedies for facial hair!
The harsh, but very effective methods:
Why hard method? Because these are recipes for preparing depilatory waxes, so you will have to remove the wax with a snap to depilate the hair and that: it stings!
Turmeric and egg white:
It’s a recipe that comes to me from a market client, tested by my wife who approved it 100%!
Ingredients :
1 egg white
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon of flour
Preparation :
Mix all the ingredients to obtain a mixture neither too liquid nor too thick, otherwise, add dry ingredients to thicken it, a little water to liquefy it.
Spread the mask liberally on the face and put toilet paper on top.
Leave to dry for 30 minutes, and once dry and hard, pull sharply against the grain. Finish by rinsing with fresh water.
Turmeric and sugar
Simple, fast and effective. Sugar has always been used as a natural treatment for hair removal in Egypt. Unlike conventional hair removal, you have to pull the hairs in the direction of the hair growth, it hurts less and irritates the skinless.
Ingredients :
2 teaspoons of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of honey
1 teaspoon of water
1 or 2 knife tips of turmeric
Preparation :
Mix the sugar and turmeric, then mix the mixture with the honey and water.
Heat the mixture for about 30 seconds in the microwave, until it boils and browns.
Mix, and let cool so as not to burn your skin. Apply the wax with a spatula on the areas to be depilated.
Place a strip of fabric on the wax, smooth with your fingers in the direction of the hair, and tear in the direction of the hair growth.
Variation: same recipe, but with 1/4 cup of water, 2 cups of powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of lemon juice, heat in a saucepan until boiling, then 25 min over low heat at a simmer until it reaches a dark amber colour.

IS IT SAFE TO CONSUME COCONUT WATER DURING PREGNANCY?
Yes, it is safe to drink coconut water, but in moderation, as it contains natural vitamins and minerals.
Having coconut water in the first trimester helps curb dehydration resulting from morning sickness. It’s also good for heartburn and constipation, common symptoms of pregnancy.
You can drink coconut water at any time, but the best time is early in the morning. It is healthier, as the electrolytes and nutrients can be easily absorbed when the stomach is empty.

Benefits of coconut water in pregnancy
You can reap its benefits only when you consume fresh water, as it begins to ferment when left open and exposed to air.
1. NATURAL DIURETIC:
During pregnancy, uric acid levels should be normal in your body system. Coconut water is a diuretic and increases the need to urinate due to the presence of potassium, magnesium, and minerals.
They help eliminate toxins and cleanse the urinary tract. Thus, it improves kidney function and prevents kidney stones and infections. It also prevents urinary tract infections, which reduces the chances of preterm labor.
2. OFFERS ESSENTIAL ELECTROLYTES:
The need for electrolytes increases during pregnancy because conditions like morning sickness, nausea, and diarrhea dehydrate the body. Coconut water supplies all five essential electrolytes: minerals, sodium, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus, which calm the body and provide energy.
These electrolytes transmit electrical charges in your body and aid in muscle function. They also help maintain your body’s pH levels and control blood pressure levels. It is known to have cooling properties, which prevent conditions such as bilious fever and vomiting.
3. RELIEVES HEARTBURN AND CONSTIPATION:
Hormonal changes during pregnancy lead to various problems like heartburn, constipation, and indigestion. The rich content of dietary fiber in coconut water strengthens the digestive system, improves digestion, regulates pH levels, and prevents constipation.
Ayurveda considers young coconut water to be an excellent laxative. Improves metabolism and detoxifies the body. Coconut water is a natural acid neutralizer and thus prevents heartburn.
4. TREAT INFECTIONS:
Coconut water is rich in vitamins, essential minerals, and antioxidants, which boost your immune levels, providing resistance to infections. It contains lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid responsible for the production of a powerful antiviral monolaurin, Michelle-Lee Young writes in the book “Two Trees and Twelve Fruits That Will Change Your Life Forever.” Lauric is a disease-fighting acid that kills harmful bacteria and infections like the flu, and HIV, and retains good bacteria.
5. IMPROVES HEART HEALTH:
Low electrolyte level increases blood pressure. Drinking coconut water improves levels of potassium, magnesium, and lauric acid, which help regulate blood pressure. Improves good cholesterol and fights bad cholesterol.
The vitamins, essential proteins, and electrolytes in coconut water control sugar levels, and blood pressure levels, and improve circulation. A glass of coconut water every day is particularly helpful in the last trimester when there is increasing stress from labor that can increase your blood pressure.
6. MAINTAINS A HEALTHY WEIGHT:
Coconut water is fat-free and low in calories. As pregnancy adds extra weight to your body, coconut water prevents fat accumulation by removing bad cholesterol. It is an excellent replacement for sugary drinks and helps both the mother and the growing fetus to be healthy and fit.

Coconut water is a tasty natural drink. It has no artificial flavors or harmful components. It is safe for you and your growing fetus as none of its components affect your health.

Coconut water is a natural isotonic drink, which helps you gain energy when suffering from dehydration, fatigue, and exhaustion. It is a great revitalizer
. If you exercise regularly to stay fit and strengthen your pelvic muscles, you can opt for coconut water as an energy drink. Hydration also improves skin elasticity, limiting the stretch marks that develop during pregnancy.
9. LOW SUGAR CONTENT:
Excessive sugar intake can lead to an increase in overall blood sugar levels. Coconut water has less sugar than other sports and energy drinks. You won’t gain pregnancy weight, and a diet low in simple sugars will reduce your risk of getting gestational diabetes.
10. ACCELERATES THE GROWTH OF THE FETUS:
Coconut water offers all the nutrients to the mother, essential to maintain and improve her health. Thus, it improves the health, growth, and proper nutrition of the unborn baby.
11. IMPROVES AMNIOTIC FLUID LEVELS:
Drinking coconut water improves the overall health and environment of your growing fetus. Coconut water taken especially in the third trimester increases amniotic fluid levels and improves blood volume and circulation.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF COCONUT WATER DURING PREGNANCY?
There is no evidence that coconut water has adverse effects on pregnancy. Like any other fruit or vegetable juice, it also appears to be safe. But there are two things to keep in mind:
•Coconut milk contains sodium, which may not be the right choice for pregnant women with preeclampsia.
•Ripe coconut water can cause constipation.
HOW MUCH COCONUT WATER CAN A PREGNANT WOMAN HAVE?
Moderation is always the key when it comes to eating a healthy diet. You can drink up to a glass of coconut water a day.
Consume the water soon after opening, as a fresh one will contain rich nutrients. Use a clean straw or pour it into a glass and drink.
It is always good to prefer natural coconut water to canned or bottled.
Do not consume coconut water if you react or do not like its taste.
HOW TO SELECT THE CORRECT COCONUT?
To enjoy the various benefits of coconut water, you need to know how to select them properly. These tips can help you buy fresh and tender coconut.
A fresh coconut will be light and sweet and will not contain coconut meat, the white, meaty, tender substance. A ripe or stale one will taste sour.
Selection: Choose medium-sized, clean, green walnuts, as they contain large amounts of water. Don’t choose coconuts that have hard brown shells and gray patches as they indicate ripe nuts.
Water: Shake the coconut vigorously near your ear to check for water. Select the ones that make a good splashing sound. A fresh coconut will contain almost a cup of water.
If you want to store coconuts at home, keep them in a cool place.
BENEFITS OF COCONUT MEAT DURING PREGNANCY:
1. GENERATION OF BREAST MILK:
Regular consumption of coconut meat during pregnancy improves the supply of breast milk after childbirth. Your baby will receive nutritious and rich breast milk. Also, coconut oil helps in the generation of breast milk.
It is also good during the lactation phase as it contains lauric and capric acids. These acids have antiviral, antibacterial, and parasiticidal effects, which protect the baby from diseases.
2. IMPROVES BLOOD CIRCULATION:
Blood volume doubles during pregnancy, causing swelling of the feet and legs. Poor blood circulation aggravates the condition. Coconut consumption improves blood circulation and prevents swelling and pain in the legs.
3. HELPS DIGESTION:
Consuming coconut meat and water prevents constipation as tender coconut meat acts as an excellent laxative. It is one of the best benefits of consuming a coconut in any form during pregnancy.
4. BETTER SLEEP:
Having coconut in combination with poppy seeds and ghee will improve your sleep cycle.
5. INCREASES METABOLISM:
When the coconut is mixed with spices, it helps boost metabolic activities in pregnant women.
COCONUT MILK DURING PREGNANCY:
Coconut milk is a thick, milky liquid obtained by grinding grated coconut meat. It is also an essential ingredient in many foods, especially Southeast Asian dishes.
Coconut can be consumed in any form due to its amazing health benefits. Coconut milk helps increase body fuel. It is completely safe to drink unless you are allergic to it.
BENEFITS OF COCONUT MILK DURING PREGNANCY:
1. ENHANCE IMMUNITY:
Coconut milk contains lauric acid, which is an antibacterial and antiviral fat, useful for pregnant women. This type of fat helps improve the immune system, according to the book “Coconut Oil and the Immune System” by Sherri Neal. The long-chain fatty acids straighten the blood vessels and reduce any blockages in the heart, thus improving the condition of the heart as well.
2. OTHER BENEFITS INCLUDE:
•It contains good amounts of iron, which can treat anemia.
•Improves digestive problems.
•It offers relaxation to the muscles and the nervous system.
•Controls blood sugar levels and blood pressure
•Relieves joint pain and scratches
•Makes your body fit and helps you lose weight
HOW TO PREPARE FRESH COCONUT MILK?
It is advisable to make coconut milk at home instead of opting for a packaged one.
Grate a whole coconut and add a cup and a half of hot water.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once the mixture cools down, strain to get the milk.
Coconut milk taken directly from fresh coconuts will contain approximately 450 calories and 50 g of fat. A cup of coconut milk (approximately 240 g) has the following nutritional values:
•Calories 550
•Fats 50.2gm (all types of fats)
•Cholesterol 0
•Sodium 40gm
•Carbohydrates 14gm (in 250gm of milk)
•Proteins 6gm
•Vitamin C 11%
•Iron 22%
•Calcium 4%
IS CANNED COCONUT MILK GOOD DURING PREGNANCY?
It’s safe to have canned coconut milk during pregnancy, but you need to make sure the can isn’t corroded, rusted, expired, or stored at dangerous temperatures.
Coconut milk contains considerable amounts of saturated fat, that is, 3 g in a tablespoon. Eating too much-saturated fat will increase the levels of good and bad cholesterol in the body. In the case of canned milk, you must take into account your level of consumption, since you should not exceed your daily requirement.
In addition to the above, other reasons why you may not choose canned coconut milk are:
1. BISPHENOL A (BPA):
It is a chemical that is typically used in the lining of cans used for packaged foods. This BPA can gradually leach into acidic, fatty, or salty foods like coconut milk, vegetables, tomatoes, and soups. One study claims that there is a relationship between high levels of BPA in mothers and neurobehavioral problems in babies.
2. GUAR GUM:
Guar gum is an additive present in canned coconut milk. It is a galactomannan, a polysaccharide, and is primarily a ground endosperm of guar beans.
There have been complaints such as severe abdominal cramps, indigestion, flatulence, and diarrhea, as beans are difficult to digest. In a clinical experiment, patients with intestinal problems showed improvement when they stopped using canned coconut milk in their diet.
3. FRUCTOSE MALABSORPTION:
It is a digestive disease characterized by impaired transport of fructose (a simple sugar found in fruits, vegetables, and honey) through the small intestine. Increased fructose levels in the gut cause bacterial overgrowth.
Therefore, it reduces the absorption of water in the intestine. Pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are highly affected by fructose malabsorption.
According to nutrition data, coconut milk contains sugar, including fructose. Therefore, it should be avoided by those affected by IBD and IBS disorders.
