go natural

I’ve noticed that American population use a lot of chemicals for all the possible things.

For example, food: almost everything has some chemicals in it either for flavor or color or preservation purposes (sure you would need that if you buy milk by gallons). It came to a point when kids prefer some artificial drinks and snacks to fruit.

Another thing is cosmetics and body care. There is a trend of going natural – all the organic stuff. But the majority of products still have so many chemicals in it. It is mostly chemicals. When there is a problem people rush to the store to find a solution for it. That’s surprising.

Traditional methods are still so popular back home. Some of them provide you with wonderful results, though sometimes they are more time consuming. Instead of buying special creams and medicine for reducing dark circles under eyes and “curing” red eyes you can use regular black tea. To make your hair shiny you wash them with some herbs, egg yolk or with black bread. (I was looking for a certain herb this summer for my hair. One lady I was working with suggested me to go to herb cure store. Well… they carry mostly pills… and I was looking for herbs in form of dry leaves, seeds, etc. When I told store manager about that she gave me such a look as if I was from a different planet where creatures still don’t know anything about our technology of putting everything in pills).

I truly believe the more natural – the better. And you don’t have to shop for expensive organic stuff. Learn from wisdom of previous generations. Their methods still work!
