Lotion

Recipes

I'm going to play with some of other people's recipes, for starters.  Later I will be formulating my own.

Lotion Bar or Stick

In looking at my reading, lotion bars or sticks don't require preservatives or emulsifiers.  They are in solid form in the form of a bar or stick.  When applied to the skin they will melt from our body's heat and moisturize the skin.  Sounds like a great idea.  I actually have acquired one and love it.


Goat Products

One of our Mini Nubians, Echo Hills Elizabeth Swan, aka Lizzy

 We believe that, like use for humans, that our animal friends should likewise have natural products used on and inside their little bodies.  Some of the recipes here will linked directly to outside sources.

At a later date, we will discuss our own recipes.

We raise dairy goats, so this part of our page will be devoted to dairy goats.





One of our Nigerian Dwarf girls



 Our miniature dairy goats are a very large part of our health. food source and that of others as well.  We also love them. They are part of our family.  As such. we try to take good care of them.  Thus, the use of natural recipes using natural products like oils, essential oils, vinegar, etc. are things we are exploring.

For example. when we milk our does. we like to have shaved udders, and wash the udders before milking.  If one our little girls has a rash or dry skin, we like to use natural products to overcome those problems.  We want them to be healthy and happy.

Udder Wash

Comments

Benefits

Rainesranch Udder Wash/Teat Dip

Ingredients:
  •  1 oz  (2 T) of bleach
    One quart of water 
  • A drop of dish detergent

Mixing
  • Mix not more than a few hours before usage, as the author says it doesn't keep long
  • Author likes to use Dawn dish soap
  • Author has other great recipes for things like ketosis or weak kids, milk replacer, mastitis prevention and help, pink eye.  Wealth of information
My Comments:
  •  Many commercial soaps are not pure and can have harmful products in them to our bodies
  • Bleach could have a disinfectant properties.  Something that is very important when cleaning udders.
  •   Bleach is one choice when disinfecting/sanitizing dishes

Body Butters are soft creams, so it seems, that help moisturize the skin.  So far I haven't found any using goat's milk.
