You Shower Too Much!

How often do you shower or wash your body? Chances are, you probably bathe too much! Bathing every day strips the body and hair of natural oils, and it dries out the skin. Trace washes away some myths and explains why showering too often could be bad for your skin and your health.

Personal notes on the magical use of common substances

Mint is calming and stabilizing. Drink mint tea to acquire emotional stability and overcome the highs and lows. Don't if you need to work up a lot of anger or something.

Meats, bones, organs, and blood are best consumed in the morning. They seem to help the bones and give long-lasting energy as they slowly breakdown through the day. Good for black magick operations, strength, physical work, etc.

Garlic and similar substances (onions/chives/leeks); good for cleansing the system and granting increased immunity for awhile, best to consume before a period of long mundane work or to repell magical entities. Decreases lucidity and basically shuts down the third eye temporarily – not completely but it makes it very hard and you need to really apply your will intensely to overcome its effects. Are you being overwhelmed by sickness or need to keep yourself fixed in third density for awhile? Garlic will help you. It really makes it difficult to astral project properly and to create thoughtforms though.

Citrus fruits (organs/lemons/grapefruit/etc.) – all of them increase lucidity and make astral projection and thoughtform work easier. If you are going to perform some magical operations you will want to consume that citric acid. Potential drawback is entities also get an opening to come at you for a visit whether it's wanted or not and you may get abducted easier. Really overall there's nothing wrong with using these, it's great for intense mental work, you just can't do it all the time without losing its effects; the system should always be reset at some point. They probably help decalcify the pineal gland too.

Green tea accelerates thought processes and is great for intense meditation and has anti-oxidants that purge the body and help detox it, if you've been consuming meats for awhile this helps counter its effects and balance you again. Green tea combines extremely well with citrus, use both at once for extremely intense meditation and magickal operations. If you want to have a wildly awesome astral projection consume lemons and green tea together after a period of fasting and pranayama.

Fasting is necessary to reset the body every once in awhile and cleanse the system. During fasting it's ok to eat vegetables, oatmeal, fruits, etc. and juicing.

A spoon full of apple-cider-vinegar seems to help after a big meal especially one with lots of food group the grains/breads food category. I discovered this on my own through random experimentation but this article seems to back me up on my finding: http://www.amazing-green-tea.com/apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.html

Sodium bicarbonate removes excess oils from the body very effectively and cleanses skin pores but leaving it on for hours burns you so wash that shit off after 15 or so minutes.

Thanks for this info.
I was a little disappointed to learn about onions and garlic decreasing lucidity because I cook with them often. Although it explains why you're supposed to use garlic to repel vampires.
My own method for clearing my nostrils is to exercise. I believe carbon dioxide acts as a nasal decongestant.

Word. I live in Texas and between the heat, humidity, and the blanket of chemicals that gets blasted from flares at chemical plants into the atmosphere, I tend to feel pretty dirty in an unnatural way after a day of working outside.
I wish I could get away with not showering every day, but not only would it be disgusting, it might very well be unhealthy because of the exposure to petrochemicals I experience on a daily basis.
I'm very interested in this thread, though. Good idea, OP.

>soap

Just straight up plain soap with no additives and shit. Hard to get but if you can find it, it'll do you good, as long as it's only used for when you actually need it to get some terrible dirt out. Otherwise use some really mild non-comedogenic sort of soap or don't use soap.

http://www.soap.com/html/sg/non-comedogenic-moisturizer-acne.html

^ see the cetaphil soap, that's a good soap, doesn't clog pores

>shampoo


Baby shampoo. It's safe enough for use on babies and I think pets too and there's no reason that adults can't use it.

You're not supposed to use shampoo often btw:

>toothpaste


Fluoride-free toothpaste.

This right here is the exact variant of toothpaste I use: http://www.fantasia-uae.com/Products.aspx?id=15

Note the chaos star in the top-left-corner of that site btw.

Well, here's the more exact variant of the same thing, as it's sold in my country and as the label actually appears on my toothpaste: http://shopping.canoe.ca/shop/product--productId_34224596.html

…but that chaos star man.

>aftershave


Not good. Don't use it at all. I haven't really researched this though maybe there's some soap-wort herbal alternative whatever for this. I've never shaved once in my life.

>and deodorant


Definitely don't use. Period. Get your body odour problems corrected via diet, pranayama, etc. don't put that deodorant shit on your body it's really bad for you.

Here's a little story, cocksuckers.

I usually use a shower filter true story stop getting gassed by the Jew under the plethora of toxic inhalants and obvious chlorine gas, but that is another story.

The real story: I recently showered at a motel and smelt like absolute shit afterwards especially my hair how disgusting it was like dirt smell plus chemicals. I then realized this is how everyone in that town smelt.

Today I am at another hotel but I will simply be applying shivambu to my entire body and hair instead of using their toxic soaps with shit water.

Fucks up with the function of your skin in removing toxins. Enjoy becoming more and more toxic as your sweat glands are fucked with.

>and what do I do to get around needing it?


Superior diet, good circulation, pranayama, etc. I've never used deodorant in my life and I never smell unless I've consumed certain food substances but otherwise I never smell at all and people who I've mentioned this fact to have smelled me and confirmed I don't smell at all and then suggested that I just have superior genetics.

 No.8482

>>8479
Most deodorant contains aluminum which is a very bad neurotoxin having synergistic toxicity with other heavy metals and much can be said on that alone…

You can use these cool rock salt thai deodorants (saw one in a health food store with aluminum added, sumbich!) Or baking soda, as balancing pH is the name of that game.

Really, I'd master the pH battle internally with a clean diet and then transition to not giving a fuck, which is what I do.


If I ever use a soap it's Bronners, the best.

Is stinking a pre-requisite for being a magic user? Are you all trying to do some sort of smelly decay/plague rituals, and trying to smell as bad as possible to boost it's effects?

I usually shoot for lukewarm, maybe a little colder. I absolutely hate being cold. It's probably my least favorite feeling, it's comparable to pain in my mind. I need to look into that wim hof shit.
I tend to stink, and I think it's largely from energy drinks. I usually drink one in the morning. I'm a recovering addict and caffeine and cigarettes are deeper and harder to kick than booze and dope were. They also make my sweat stink. And breath, immediately after consumption.

The pleasure I derive from taking long, hot showers vastly outweighs any benefits that may exist from not doing that.

a few years ago (when I was much more mundane) during a busy work week I wore deodorant, but since I was working so much I didn't shower when I got home, just crashed out and went to sleep, and in the morning rinsed off and applied more deodorant. After about 3 days of this my armpits swelled up so badly I could hardly put my arms down. I stopped wearing my deodorant, but it didn't go down until I squeezed the swollen portion, and every pore popped like a zit full of stale gray sweat. It was pretty horrifyingly amazing, actually.
True story. Thinking back I get chills just thinking of all the toxins I absorbed.

 No.11977

I shower every night, but i alternate using soap on my face or pits/privates every other night, and shampoo every 3 nights.
Keeps me smelling decently without drying me out too badly.
