Hooray ! Today is the launch day for the new variation of the Garden Therapy Seed Collection DIY Kits . And , this one is all about BEAUTY . Adding beauty to your garden and learning how easy it is to rein in that smasher .
This outfit is personal to me for a few reason . Here is the backstory …
When I was going through my rehabilitation program of horticulture and healthy life , the first matter I did was look at the product I used and ask how they serve or harmed my body . I looked at what I was applying to my skin and I call for myself if the ingredient were doing me dear or harm .
If you have been following me at Garden Therapy , you will have heard me say time and metre again that what run short on your cutis is just as important as what goes in your trunk . Your skin is your expectant organ and it absorbs so much of what you put into it . Think of how nicotine and pain in the ass dermal patches work : the medicament / drug is applied to the skin and it is absorbed into the bloodstream . This same thing happens with lotions , goop , and other beauty product that we give to our bodies .
The research pronounce that mass - produced skin care products are screen by governing drug authority and deem dependable . That seems fairish ; they are safe because our bodies are wonderful biofilters . When our body function right , we are able-bodied to percolate out chemicals that are not useful or , worse , toxic . And because we are awing at getting rid of junky chemicals from our bodies , in most the great unwashed , there wo n’t be side effects .
But what if what we put on our bodies was not just something healthy people could handle and filter out, but instead plant-based ingredients that would heal, repair, soothe, and enhance your body?
This is what the whole movement towards eat real solid food is about . It seems that masses unquestionably understand that invigorated fruits and vegetables are better for you than a box of packaged / processed food filled with unrecognizable ingredients . But as a whole , we are a bit less willing to see plant - ground skin care in the same way .
The good intelligence is that flora - based looker is EASY to make at nursing home , with ingredient you could experience unspoilt about . A few long time ago I put all of my everyday recipes using plants and rude element into a Word called the Natural Beauty Recipe Book . All of the recipes are 1 that I have been using at home with my house . They are round-eyed to make , without any really unusual ingredients , and no exceptional tools needed .
Most of everything can be buy cheaply online or at a local natural food store . The book comes with accession to an online resourcefulness guide that I update on a regular basis so you could find what you need without hunting around . The only ingredient that I favour not to grease one’s palms are those that you may well and inexpensively grow in your garden , like muckle , lemon balm , calendula , lavender , cornflower , and sunflower .
Note: This seed starting kit is no longer for sale.
