Use Organic Products for Health Save Money and Planet

organic soap
Save your good health, your precious dollars, and your belovedMother Earth, choosing organic products when you shop, and making some of your own essential household supplies.

Right now, the greatest threats to your health and household environment lurk under your kitchen and bathroom sinks. Dermatologists report that more than 90% of serious skin complaints, especially eczema, either are caused or are exacerbated by common household cleaning products; and in most cases, switching to all-organic household products clears-up the
skin problems within a week to ten days. Endocrinologists report similar findings with food allergies; when children with serious food allergies begin eating whole foods free of additives and preservatives, their so-called allergies disappear in approximately 80% of cases.
All the cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing products you use to keep your home sparkling fresh and squeaky clean also threaten to qualify it as a hazardous waste dump, because they are filled with toxins and volatile organic chemicals that, in only slightly higher concentrations, are approved only for industrial use. Look at the labels on your favorite household cleansers, and then go to the internet to look-up the Materials Safety Data Sheets on those ingredients. Learn, to your chagrin, just how many carcinogens you spread across your kitchen counter in the name of “killing germs.” Discover how, when the “scrubbing bubbles” smile at you from your television screen, they actually are flashing you sinister grins. The chemicals that dissolve soap scum also ravage the ecosystem as they float downstream.



Continue your education in your shower caddy, where you will find fewer carcinogens but still will discover all kinds of waxes, petroleum distillates, and harsh cleaners. The most popular hair conditioner, for example, works its miracles on your hair by infusing it with the same chemical found in the most popular household lubricant. And products labeled “botanical” generally contain less than 1% genuine herbal or floral essences.

How to find genuinely organic products
Become an ardent and avid label-reader, learning to read between the lines on the shout-outs and learning to decode the mysteries of ingredients lists. As a rule of thumb, food products with five or fewer ingredients will pass the all-organic test with flying colors, and food products with the tell-tale initials “FD&C” will score epic fails. When you see prepositions like “with” as in “with natural botanicals,” you safely may assume that the manufacturers splashed in some floral fragrances at the last minute, giving their same old nasty product a new scent and feel but rendering it no more earth-friendly.

The Food and Drug Administration has begun setting standards and guidelines for
“organic” and “green” products. Right now, the two terms are not synonymous. “Organic,” as it should, means “made with all natural ingredients”; but “green” most often means the product was made without anything that scientists know will harm people, animals, or the environment. In other words, a “green” product may still be filled with synthetics and derivatives, but researchers have yet to prove they cause any harm.
For total assurance of a household or food product’s integrity and purity, buy the one that meets “vegan” standards.

Tip natural way washing kitchen sink

You can make a paste with water and corn flour, then rub it all over the sink with a cloth. Leave it for a few minutes; then rinse it off with water afterwards. Your sink will be shining fresh and clean.

This product is fantastic. I've been using veggie wash for many  years and it really leaves my foods tasting more clean/fresher without any residue or buildup. It's great for washing products you know are not organic because you need to clean these better than the organic product . I strongly recommend this product to anybody who wants to try.
