Natural Baby
 There are many great remedial and nourishing effects from plants on the human body. It is well know that they naturally soothe, stimulate and may help to relieve stress, relax, excite and promote wellbeing.
Plants and humans are perfectly compatible, unlike their synthetic counterparts.
Although synthetics are often said to be more durable, economical and practical but they do not have the same properties or effects as a natural product. Natural plant and herbal properties cannot be replicated.
It is also well know that some synthetic ingredients come with side effects that can include itchiness, dryness and even skin irritation.
Healthy Skin is reflected from being healthy on the inside
Your skin tells the world your age, environment and emotional wellbeing so we have to take care of it. Healthy skin is reflected from being healthy on the inside.
Eat well, incorporating as much organic food as you can, drink plenty of filtered water, enjoy fresh air and exercise. These all contribute to happier skin. The naturopathic approach to skin is the same as for every other organ. Keep it healthy to look after itself and only use what nature has given us to help.
Plant essences can actually prompt intense emotions
Studies have shown that plant essences can actually prompt intense emotions, sensations, reactions and skin healing as they have an effect on the brain via the olfactory nerves and through skin absorption.
This can lead to changes in skin temperature, blood volume and brain wave activity. The response is completely individual, linked to personal body chemistry, memories and emotions. Our focus is on health rather than beauty.
When manufactured, consideration is made not only the composition of the ingredients, but looks closely at the growing conditions such as organic and biodynamic farming.
Why Organic?
Choosing organic wherever possible provides great benefits:
* We support the Aussie farmer instead of refineries and chemical companies.
* We reduce the use of damaging synthetic fertilisers, pesticides and the dependence on non-renewable energy sources.
* Reconstitute soil with organic matter, restoring and enriching it with natural nutrients – this will preserve it for future generations rather than destroying and sterilising it.
* Reduce soil erosion and sedimentation of our waterways.
* Petrochemicals cause pollution, are slower to degrade and create excess solid and hazardous waste that pollute our earth and our bodies and pose a greater risk of environmental disaster.
That Is Why Organic!
For many people, choosing organic is not only about their health but also the health of our planet.
Organic farming uses techniques that preserve our environment and keep the soil as healthy as it can be. They do not use synthetic fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides and chemicals or any other substances that are or maybe, harmful to soil, water, wildlife, human life or the environment.
When synthetic pesticides, insecticides and other chemicals are sprayed onto our farms, it decreases the quality of our soil and increases salinity (salt levels). It also depletes the soil of vital minerals necessary for the healthy functioning of our bodies.
Chemicals not only affect the soil they are sprayed onto. Rain washes these chemicals into our waterways and the water that we drink. Through the food we eat and skin care products we use, these chemicals are taken into our bodies. Here they can damage our immune system and cause allergies, infections and even cancers.
The skin is a living, breathing organ and needs to be cared for. Everything is absorbed through your skin therefore it should be gentle and non-toxic.
