What’s wrong with disposable cotton wool balls or pads? Pesticides used on cotton are super toxic and extremely long-lasting. It's likely that your cheap cotton balls, rounds, and pads have harmful pesticide residues on them, and they're the kind of toxins that can get into your body through your skin. If pesticides aren’t your main concern, then consider the use of non-renewable resources. Regular disposable cotton wool pads use 10 000 litres of water per Kg. They are used once, then disposed into landfills, or end up in rivers and oceans. Moving away from these single-use items saves money, is more sustainable and is all around better for your skin (no toxins!) The better alternative: Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth, and it uses minimal resources to grow. Bamboo can yield up to 60x more fabric per acre than cotton, it doesn’t need pesticides or fertilizers, nor does it need irrigation water. Bamboo fibre is naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for all skin types. It comes in the most beautiful colours, and if you buy ours you can simply add them to your compost heap at the end of their lifetime (natural dyes are used). Sounds good? Then change to reusable bamboo facial rounds or face cloth 😊 🌼 🌼 🌼 🌼 🌼 #betteralternative #naturalalternative #saynotowaste #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #kindtonature #kindtoyou #daretoselfcare (at Pretoria, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHKrtfvJsfU/?igshid=112xftpq5em4r

When turning to holistic remedies, we must remember to practice patience and diligence. The medical practices in the Western society mostly aims to cure symptoms and alleviate pain immediately, instead of finding root causes of that pain. We are impatient and will forego holistic practices that have PROVEN to provide long term solutions, and instead opt for popping pills and painkillers. Your body is intelligent, and pain is one way that your body is communicating that something is wrong. Using western medicine to put a bandage over your pain will not solve the problem; it will either exacerbate the issue and/or cause the pain to travel to other regions of your body since it feels it’s being silenced. LISTEN to your body and have patience with holistic options if you truly want to be healed. #HolisticRemedy #HomeRemedy #NaturalAlternative #PCOS #OvarianCysts #Fibroids #Endometriosis #WombHealth #BlackDoula #DoulaOfColor #HolisticDoula #WomensHealth #HealYourself #DoulasBeLike #Patience https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7Pugzgyxf/?igshid=fder0ew8dhtt

NOTE: AVOID number four. . Do you have PCOS, ovarian cysts, fibroids or endometriosis? Have you ever heard of Castor oil packs? It’s a mystery to some, but a regular home therapy for others. Castor oil packs which stimulates deep tissue and organ healing, of up to 4 inches, are great for lymphatic drainage, detoxing the body, and decreasing inflammation. Castor oil packs generally consist of cotton or wool flannel, soaked in castor oil, which is applied to the desired area needing healing. Some tutorials suggest using a layer of saran wrap, but I suggest covering with a thick towel, and topping that with a hot water bottle. The heat applied helps to drive the castor oil into the deeper layers. Castor oil increases lymphocyte production and increases the circulation of the lymphatic system. If you know what functions our lymphatic system is responsible for, then you'll understand exactly how beneficial this is. Our lymphatic system is basically tasked with cleaning our blood by removing waste, toxins, and foreign matter. Because ovarian cysts, fibroids, and/or endometrosis can cause a variety of pelvic discomfort and inflammation, some have used castor oil packs as a natural home remedy to alleviate this discomfort, and have even noticed significant decrease in size of cysts and/or fibroids. I have personally used castor oil packs, along with other remedies, to decrease pelvic discomfort and can attest to its efficacy. Plus, the warmth and love that I give to my womb is simply enjoyable. If you want to try castor oil packs for yourself, I suggest using pure, cold-pressed castor oil, cotton flannel, and simply avoiding the use of plastic. Place the flannel (covered in Castor oil) directly on your skin, then a towel, then the hot water bottle. Lay back and enjoy. #CastorOilPacks #CastorOil #HolisticRemedy #HomeRemedy #NaturalAlternative #PCOS #OvarianCysts #Fibroids #Endometriosis #WombHealth #BlackDoula #DoulaOfColor #HolisticDoula #WomensHealth #HealYourself #LymphaticSystem #LymphaticHealth https://www.instagram.com/p/Br8A04AH66R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wiw7nurzguz8
