Natural Medicine and Remedies
Every woman wants to have skin that glows. No matter how old you are, a good complexion will take years off your face. In my own humble opinion, one of the best ways to achieve this is by eliminating toxins. Eating wholesome organic food and drinking a lot of pure water will eventually yield visible results.
We've been led to believe that drugs are better than natural remedies. However, many of us now realize this may not be true. Plant-based medicine can be very effective, and they don't come with the same side effects as pharmaceuticals. Minoxidil is commonly prescribed for thinning hair.
You probably won't find organic lipstick in your local supermarket or at the corner drugstore. Actually, it's not even that easy to find online.

There's growing awareness that many beauty products are filled with toxins. Fortunately, some cosmetics are now made from plant-based materials only. In general, these are excellent choices, formulated to work just as well as the poisonous stuff we need to replace. But they're also very expensive.
Clary sage oil is considered good for soothing nerves, balancing hormones and restoring emotional equilibrium.

This is one oil I've decided I can't live without, because of its seemingly positive effects on my mind and body.

Commercial hair gel contains an assortment of chemicals you don't want inside your body. These include parabens, which mimic estrogen, and can potentially fuel a hormone-dependent cancer. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is another ingredient you'll probably want to avoid. It's found in a wide variety of cosmetics.
