So About Rice Water...

Hey Subbies,

I've been trying to do some self-study lately while creating a workout schedule that works for me. But recently, I actually wanted to talk about Haircare...specifically about Ayurvedic Topicals Treatments and Cognitive disorders usages. I was also watching a video about Yao women in China and the rice water (protein) rinse ritual they do. Everyone has their own thoughts on the fermentation process. There are three standard ways to do the fermentation but it depends if you want to make Saké ( Rice is needed during the fermentation ) or Rice Water ( Rice is not needed for the fermentation process ). 

And, Rice Water has amazing benefits for skin diseases and aliment so you don't want to be lazy when making this rinse. So the ingredients needed were really interesting to me and here are the Ingredients: Filtered/distilled water, White rice, "pomelo" grapefruit, and tea plant seed. A lot of people don't know that the Tea plant has cleansing properties specifically the Saponin compounds which are less known about mainstream wise. However, I had watched Ayurvedic hair care videos so I started making a list of ingredients to create an Ayurvedic hair care regime and possibly supplements (ie. Ashwagandha, Brahmi (Water hyssop), and Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica) [parsley family]). [*Bacopa shares a similar biochemical profile but for me personally because of Korean Skincare I'm more informed of Centella Asiatica]. In the world of Naturopathic treatments, there can be hundreds of options so I wanted to simplify the most used ingredients to better understand each of them.
