It's imperative that we nourish of and nurture ourselves inward and out; including our hair which is attached to our bodies. It is one of the appendages of the skin.
It is because of a lack of Knowledge that our health suffers aside from medical
problems, procrastination and conditioning. The hair that’s been given us on
our head serves two purposes; protection and adornment. Hair protects and
shields our skin and scalp (head) from injury and elements in our environment.
It also beautifies and enhances our appearance but most people are more concern
with looking good over being in good health.
Hey, I found this video on investigating natural products and understanding
"Non toxic & Toxic Ingredients" By Anna "Beauty Experienced"
"Non toxic & Toxic Ingredients" By Anna "Beauty Experienced"
Taking
care of our bodies and hair naturally in modern day societies had become more
difficult for many than it was pre-industrialization (when products, clothing
and food were hand crafted-great for small business owners) before transitioning
from hand production methods & manufacturing to industrialization (using machines
and chemical production- decreasing and eliminating many hand craft workers
their jobs), and because of improper application of both hand and chemical, and
even allowing untrained/inexperienced people to touch our body, hair and scalp.
There
are harmful synthetic products that we use in our hair and our bodies that have
harsh ingredients that may help in one area but cause damage in another. Understand,
this is not to shun or knock anyone who used products with synthetic chemicals because
even I use some products that are not 100% pure, raw or organic. Truth is; it’s
difficult to escape ALL unauthentic/chemical-based skin & hair products,
medicine and food. It’s great to be thankful for advancements in medicine that
help save lives and preservation of food but can we do it in safer ways?
Personally, I just try to minimize and eliminate as much as possible, the
intake and digestion of harsh cell-killing, degenerative additives/ingredients/preservatives,
etc.
How
the saying goes, “When we know better, we do better…” Hopefully!
Just
to bringing awareness because many people still do not pay attention to what
enters their body through our skin and oral digestion. You may be aware but don’t
assume that all do. I still continue to educate myself and others (clients and
even people my age or older) on the benefits healthier diets not only for our
bodies but also for our hair and scalp. Today, we are making more efforts to
reduce toxic digestion to protect ourselves and children. Good news is that
there are ways to detoxify our bodies and begin again-paying more attention to
protecting our temples (bodies).
Returning to Handmade/Handcrafting:
Good news, we are going back to the ole’
landmark. Meaning, returning to using more natural, organic and homemade/handcrafted
skin and hair products, and food-thus, an emerging of new small business owners
and natural living. We are learning from our ancestors about controlling our
own economy and maintaining our OWN healthier lifestyles. The End!
