Welcome! My name is Jenny Diehl and I’m the Founder and Love Curator of Cura.Te. To understand more about who I am and how Cura.Te started, we need to rewind a bit... Like everyone, there are some very special people...

FAQ

Why do you use lye (sodium or potassium hydroxide) in your soap? Isn’t it poisonous? Won’t it hurt my skin? Let’s clear the air here. All REAL soap is made with lye. The lye saponifies with oil and water to make...

Cura.Te Tip #5 - Touch the Earth, Baby!

February 04, 2019

Do you remember from science class that the earth has a slightly negative charge to it? And do you know that when our bodies become even the least bit inflamed (and I’m talking just everyday wear and tear and toxins entering from the environment and our food) we have a “positive” charge?

Why Cura.Te

When we began forming the concepts, ideas, and principles that this business would be founded on, we kept coming back to the question: WHY? Why are we doing this? Why will anyone buy our products? Why will it matter? The...

Why is Sweet Almond Oil So Darn Sweet?

February 14, 2019

Sweet almond oil is extracted from (you guessed it!) sweet almonds. Originating in Asia and the Middle East, almonds weren’t brought to North America until the 19th century. Sweet almond oil is so nourishing to the skin, and is also great for the heart and the colon, and has even been shown to help prevent diabetes and cancer.

Cura.Te tip #8 - Keep Your Phone Away From Your Body

February 25, 2019

EMF is the electromagnetic field produced by our electronic devices. EMFs are invisible to the naked eye, and the dangers of EMF exposure are real and scary!

Cura.Te tip #3 - Make a home cooked meal, and really enjoy the process

It’s All About Your Skin, Baby!

January 02, 2021

The cosmetic industry is worth over $508 billion worldwide. And, did you know that this $508 billion industry is largely unregulated? I’m sure many people assume the products on shelves in the stores are tested for safety and this is absolutely not true. The FDA does not, and cannot, test for chemicals in products that have been shown to be linked to cancer, reproductive harm, allergies, and so much more. What’s more, terms like “natural”, “organic”, and “hypoallergenic” are used without a...

Her Brain Was “Eaten Away” By These...

January 21, 2021

When we had the autopsy done on my mom’s brain, it was “smaller than the average brain and it looked like Swiss cheese” was the report. It was what you would typically see in an Alzheimer’s brain. My mom’s brain was literally “eaten away”.. but, by what?

Cura.Te Tip #15 - Get a Massage

April 15, 2019

Getting a massage may seem like a no brainer. I don’t think any of us would argue that getting a massage is very relaxing and something we could use daily! But did you know that there are actually a lot of health benefits to receiving a massage?

Cura.Te Tip #9 - Spend One-on-One Time With Your Spouse

March 04, 2019

I’ve been married for almost 21 years and I can say I *may* have some experience here. Back the in day (last millenium - the dark ages?) when my husband and I were dating and even for the first 10 or so years of our married life, we did not have this thing called technology. I know, how did we live? How did we communicate? How did we function (haha!)??

The One Resolution We All Need

Cura.Te Tip #13 - Detox from Heavy Metals

April 01, 2019

Detoxing from heavy metals was a huge turning point in my life. After my mom passed away at the age of 59 from early onset Alzheimer’s, I was determined to not let this disease in my life again -- in any form or fashion. So, after getting educated in the field of Holistic and Natural Medicine, I learned about the correlation between heavy metals, toxins, and disease.

A note from @The_Smile_Enthusiast

May 17, 2020

I am actively training to be a world record holder in longevity. The current record that I’m on track to beat, is held by a French supercentenarian from Arles, France, named Jeanette Calment. She lived to be 122 years and 164 days old. On November 13, 2097 will be the day that I crush this current longevity record!

Your Body Hears Everything Your Mind Says

March 24, 2021

I remember reading this years ago from the Medical Medium, “If you or someone you love have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, chances are you’ve been told that your body is attacking itself. Hearing this probably stripped you of hope that you can heal and left you feeling betrayed by your own body. Today there are countless mysterious diseases that have been labeled as autoimmune conditions. But the problem is that the concept of autoimmunity is inherently flawed and this mistaken th...

Turbo Charge Your Vitamin C!

March 16, 2021

Rosehips help to turbo charge other Vitamin C you consume in your day, so it’s key to be including this herb in your regimen.

I never know if I’d have this little angel...!

February 27, 2021

I have gained knowledge and wisdom through my seasons of suffering and what I have learned is that disease and illness doesn’t have to look the way that it did (for me) in years past. We can take control of our health by the choices that we make. I never knew this before. I just let things happen as they did, and I let other people tell me what is best for me, instead of educating and standing up for myself.

Let Food Be Thy Medicine...

January 28, 2021

As Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, stated, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” With each bite we are taking, we are either feeding life to our bodies, or death. Just think about that!

The Number One Toxin To Avoid...

January 15, 2021

Especially to combat Alzheimer’s Disease... The culprit? Aluminum. (And, yes, it is toxic even in small amounts.) Aluminum is a neurotoxin, which means it poisons the brain and nervous system. Studies show that there is a link between aluminum build up in the brain and Alzheimer’s (and other neurological diseases).

Cura.Te Tip #14 - Sit in a Sauna

Cura.Te Tip #12 - Do an Enema

March 25, 2019

I know, I know. Most of you may cringe at talking about doing an enema! For many people, thinking about this is very uncomfortable (figuratively and literally). However, if I’ve learned anything over the years studying health and wellness -- if we are to be well, we must be very observant of our bowel movements.

Cura.Te Tip #1 - Get some sun, Baby!

Sodium Lauryl Sulfates - Get 'em off-of-ya!!

February 20, 2019

Formaldehyde...it’s not just for embalming bodies!

February 11, 2021

Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong smelling gas that is also used to manufacture building materials and household products. It’s made in the production of fertilizers, antiseptics, cosmetics, medicines, vaccines, baby wash, baby shampoo, eyelash glue, and in some foods as a preservative. Formaldehyde is used to embalm bodies because it changes the tissues on a cellular level so that bacteria cannot grow. You could say it literally tears apart the composition of your cells and ...

September 10, 2019

January 28, 2019

I know this may seem like an obvious way Cura.Te (take care of yourself), but how many of us actually make it a point to intentionally take a relaxing bath?

Activated Charcoal - Healing or Hype?

January 17, 2019

The (food grade) activated charcoal we use comes from coconut shells because of their high carbon content. They are heated and then steam distilled (as opposed to chemically activated charcoal that you use for BBQs, etc. NO, you would not want to ingest that kind of charcoal!).

My Mom Had the BEST Smile!

January 13, 2021

But many years after this picture was taken, that smile was stolen. A silent enemy creeped up on her and slowly took her smile, her laugh, her daily functions, her memory, her brain...her life.

It's my birthday and I'm 42!

September 19, 2019

Several years ago I can’t say I would have been totally open and forthcoming about my age, as I aged. That’s when I saw “growing older” as a negative. ⁣⁣⁣

This was the loneliest time of my life...

February 24, 2021

For nearly 6 years I cried for, hoped for, and prayed for a baby. I never knew if I would be able to have kids, and that was a hard pill I could not swallow. I actually never believed deep down that I couldn’t have children, though -- I always had hope. During my journey of infertility and the miscarriages I suffered — these were some of the loneliest times of my life. It’s something that is very hard to talk about when you are going through it, and many times we may not even know that so...

Cura.Te Tip #19 - Go For a Walk

May 13, 2019

One of my favorite physicians of all time, Hippocrates said, “Walking is man’s best medicine.” He also said, “If you are in a bad mood, go for a walk. If you are still in a bad mood, go for another walk.” Haha! So what do you think he was trying to tell us with these sayings?

Cura.Te Tip #17 - Laugh, Laugh, Laugh!

Cura.Te Tip #10 - Take Your Child on a Date

March 11, 2019

Now, I don’t know about you, but this is an absolutely fun and important thing to do to Cura.Te! Not only are you caring for yourself, you are also caring for your child. Our children need our one-on-one attention to feel like they are being loved, appreciated, and heard, and purposefully planning that time once in awhile means it will happen.
