Natural Skin Care
From the Rainforest
Do know what ingredients your skin care contains?
Our skin is our largest organ. It protects us in countless ways, yet it is also very permeable. Consider the effectiveness of the nicotine patch or the birth control patch. Our skin can be a direct conduit to our blood stream.
Yet if f you look up some of the ingredients in commonly used skin care products (see, for example, the Toxnet database), you may find disturbing information about some of them. Ignorance is not bliss when it means we're slathering unknown and potentially harmful chemicals on our permeable skin on a daily basis.
The Blissful Soul recommends the Lluvia Rainforest Essence Skin Renewal System, made with natural ingredients, including wildcrafted Rainforest plants and herbs.

Organic foods usually cost more than conventionally grown foods, but do the benefits outweigh the additional cost? Studies show that organically grown foods contain significantly more nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and disease-fighting antioxidants. Organic milk, for example, contains 75% more beta-carotene, 50% more vitamin E, and 70% more omega-3 fatty acids.
Eating organic foods reduces our exposure to the more than 600 chemicals used in American agriculture. The growth hormones fed to cattle cause early onset of puberty and increased cancer risks. Animals raised organically can't be given antibiotics or growth hormones. For more benefits of organic foods, see "Top Ten Reasons to Go Organic" at prevention.com.
When you consider the costs to our health, the extra dollar or two for organics at the grocery store doesn't seem to high. To save more on organics, shop farmer's markets for locally-grown foods. Shop store-brand organics at grocery stores and price clubs for everything else.
Rainforest Nutrition 101 We know we should make more nutritious food choices, but it's not always easy to do. Busy lifestyles, foods with diminished nutritional content, and toxins in our environment all get in the way of our ideal nutrttion gameplan. We're not nutritionists ourselves, but we read that wild foods are more rich in micronutrients, perhaps due to their need to fight for survival and the richness of the soil in which they grow. But how do we incorporate more wild foods into our diet when our grocery stores offer only cultivated fruits and vegetables?
The Blissful Soul recommends Amazon Herb products to jump start your path to vibrant wellness. Each formula contains an array of wild foods from the Amazon Rainforest.
