Dear Jericho

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear people talking about Jericho is:  What an amazing product!  Just knowing that it is a product from the Dead Sea, makes it just that more interesting!  Who wouldn't want to got to the Dead Sea and experience its amazing qualities?  Better yet, now you can have it in a bottle.  With Jericho you have so much to gain!  Beautiful skin with a product that works deep into your skin with visible results! 
So many people suffer from eczema, psoriasis and other skin problems, I recommend Jericho with a smile, because I know it works.  The smell of the products, how it feels on your skin (even hours after applying it) and the results is just amazing.  Jericho has raised the bar in the sense that I compare all other products to Jericho but I cant seem to find another product to get so enthusiastic about.  I would really appreciate it if Jericho could start a Perfume line that smells like their products - I would definitely be the first one to purchase!

Thank you

DNA repair

Did you Know???

There is a microbe that grows in the Dead Sea that is teaching scientists about the art of DNA repair.

Came across this article - Found it very interesting!!!


This microbe, called Halobacterium, may hold the key to protecting astronauts from one of the greatest threats they would face during a mission to Mars:  Space Radiation.  The harsh radiation of interplanetary space can penetrate astonauts' bodies, damaging the DNA in their cells, which can cause cancer and other illnesses.  DNA damage is also behind cancers that people suffer here on Earth.

Halobacterium appears to be a master of the complex art of DNA repair.  This mastery is what scientists want to learn from.

" We have completely fragmented their DNA.  I mean we have completely destroyed it by bombarding it with radiation.  And they can reassemble their entire chromosome and put it back in to working order within several hours"  says Adrienne Kish, member of the research group studying Halobacterium at the University of Maryland.

Being a virtuoso at repairing damaged DNA makes Halobacterium one hardy little microbe:  in experiments by Maryland research group, Halobacterium has survived normally-lethal doses of ultraviolet Radiation (UV), extreme dryness, and even the vacuum of space.

But why is Halobacterium such a tenacious survivor?  What caused it to evolve such dexterous DNA repair mechanisms?  And how do those mechanisms work?

Jocelyne DiRuggiero, leader of the Maryland research group, has been exploring these question for the last five years.  She believes the answer stems form the fact that Halobacterium naturally lives in some rater inhospitable places:  ultra-salty bodies of water such as the DEAD SEA.

Most sea live would quickly shrivel up and die in the Dead Sea's briny water, which is 10 times saltier than normal seawater.  The extreme saltiness damages an organism's cells, and especially the DNA inside those cells.  This happens because DNA molecules are accustomed to being surrounded by a dense swarm of water molecules, and DNA actually depends on the influence of these water molecules to keep its double-helix structures intact and to avoid damage.  but in ultra-salty waters, the dissolved salt crowds out the water molecules.  Partially deprived of the contact with water they need, the long strands of DNA  suffer damage and even break, causing the cell to malfunction or die.

Evolving to cope with a salty lifestyle could explain why Halobacterium is so good at surviving radiation and other ravages.

Halobacterium is something of a "Renaissance bug".  It dabbles in a bit of everything.  This genome of only 2400 genes contains several distinct sets of DNA-repair mechanisms.  Some of these sets of tools are like the DNA-repair tools found in plants and animals, other sets are more like those of bacteria, and still others are characteristic of a lesser-known group of lice called "Archaea"  (the group that Halobacterium belongs to).  Halobacterium has them all.
Beyond even that, Halobacterium has a few novel DNA-repair mechanisms that no one has ever seen before!!!

Wow, pretty amazing!!!

Honey in Beauty Care


Honey has been used in Beauty regimes since the time of Cleopatra and is just as popular today.  It's easy to see why... Honey's natural properties and wholesome image satisfy the increasing demand for products with minimal artificial ingredients.

Historical Honey Beauty Secrets


Madame du Barry, the infamous last mistress of Louis XV used honey as a form of facial mask, lying down for a rest while the honey did its work.  Cleopatra of Egypt regularly took honey and milk baths to maintain her youthful appearance.

It was said the Queen Anne of England used a honey and oil concoction to keep her long hair lustrous, thick and shiny.

It was claimed that another famous Englishwoman, Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, used her own secret recipe from honey and water to keep her hair beautiful.  Chinese women have a tradition of using a blend of honey and ground orange seeds to keep their skin blemish-free.

Honey is a natural humectant, which means it attracts and retains moisture.  It's also an anti-irritant, making it suitable for sensitive-skin and baby products.  Honey has no additives or preservatives - it's one of the few products that can be packed and sold straight from nature.  It requires no processing or refining.  The most popular health and beauty products on the market today containing honey are in the skin care category, particularly baht and shower products, face creams and skin lotions.  Of beauty products that contain honey, hair care is the category experiencing the most growth.

Our use of the honey is to create the effects of alpha hydroxy acids that are included in the Premium Serum because this amazing product helps rejuvenate and renew the skin!!!

What's so Special about the Dead Sea.

What's so special about the Dead Sea?


The waters of the Dead Sea contain 21+ life-essential minerals such as potassium, bromide and magnesium.  Many of these minerals are found in no other sea or ocean.

The Dead Sea distinguishes itself from the earth's most bountiful sources by its lavish contents.  In fact, this body of water contains 10 times more salts and minerals then the Mediterranean Sea, which is one of the richest, most fertile locations on the planet.  These salts and minerals are recognised worldwide for their amazing therapeutic, nourishing and activating abilities.

This is typically considered something that opposes us.  In its course, our bodies become depleted from many life-essential minerals.  This results in an acceleration of the ageing process.  Premature wrinkles, aches and pains, age spots and tiredness are a few of the resulting effects.
Though ironically, it is time itself which had enriched the Dead Sea with so many minerals and other rejuvenating essentials as well as its unique position of being the lowest inhabited location on earth (1 312 feet below sea level).

Since before the days of Cleopatra, people have travelled to the Dead Sea to soak up its minerals and heal their ailments.  Even Cleopatra herself was reportedly enamoured with the Dead Sea's amazing health benefits and used its distinctive minerals for her legendary beauty treatments.

This is all truly amazing!!!!

First things First:  Make sure the room is nice and cosy.  Place candles everywhere for that extra special touch.  Combine the Jericho Salts with the Massage oil to make a relaxing salt scrub, which you will use later on.

Step 1:  Before getting into the shower apply the Jericho Black Mud to the whole body.  Optional: Heat the mud in a bowl of hot water or in the microwave (in a microwavable dish) to give it a warm soothing sensation on the skin.
Wait 15-20 minutes before rinsing the mud completely off.  Use a nice hot shower.  The Black Mud will extract all the impurities from the deep layers of the skin.
After rinsing off the mud turn the shower off.

Step 2:  Now apply the Salt and Massage Oil Mixture onto the skin.

Rinse and dry off.

Step 3:  Now take a break - you deserve it.  Rehydrate and eat a little snack, like fresh fruit or some cheese.  Maybe add a bit of Champagne

Step 4:  Lock in all that moisture.  Your skin is now hydrated and nourished all over, so you'd better lock it in the deep layers of the skin.  Gently and slowly apply the Jericho Body Butter.  Now sit back, put you feet up and close your eyes for a bit, let yourself inhale the aromas and feel your skin tingling with happiness.
