"Let thy food be thy medicine..."

"Rejoice plants, bearing abundant flowers and fruit, triumphing together over disease like victorious horses, sprouting forth, bearing men safe beyond disease." RIG VEDA 🌸

Although we get most of our nutrition from the food we eat, our skin ingests nutrients as well.

However, unlike the food we eat which is broken down in our stomach before it is absorbed, creams and lotions applied to the skin bypass the digestive process and go full strength directly into the bloodstream.

Like all ingested substances, they become raw material for building new body tissue—or they become potent toxic waste.

For this reason, let's think of our beauty products as food. If you cannot eat it, do not use it on your skin!
