Celebrate an Organic and Herbal Holi !!!

 The most vibrant and energetic Indian festival Holi is right around the corner.

The festival celebrates the beginning of spring and the triumph of good over evil. Amidst the festivities, it’s very important to be aware and avoid any mishaps or injuries linked with the celebration.

We have put together a few quick tips to enjoy a happy and safe Holi.

1. Use organic and natural colors or gulal that are safe to play with. Do not use chemical-based colors, which are highly toxic and can be harmful to your hair or skin. Click here to buy them online.
2. Slather liberal amounts of creams/lotions all over your body before stepping out for the celebrations. The layer of cream will act as a shield from the colors. You can buy some herbal body lotions from here.
3. Oil your hair at least 2-3 hours before playing Holi. You can use natural oils which form a coating on the hair surface, so the colors do not penetrate. Get some herbal ayurvedic hair oils such as hibiscus or brahmi from here.
4. Apply a good sunscreen to save your skin from being damaged by the sun. Click here to buy herbal and organic sunscreen lotions.
5. Use a good quality cleansing milk to remove stains. You can try these herbal and organic body cleansers. Or use your choice of 100% natural and chemical free soap or body wash.
6. Wash your hair immediately after playing Holi. First let the colors just rinse off under running water and then use an herbal or a mild shampoo. Avoid using harsh chemical shampoos or cleaners to get rid of the color. Use natural or organic hair cleansers to gently remove the color.

We wish you a very Happy, Safe and eco-friendly Holi!!!

Menstrual Cup - for a Hassle Free Period!

What is a Menstrual Cup?

Menstrual Cup is a step towards hassle-free period and saving the environment from the harmful effects of sanitary napkins and tampons.

A menstrual Cup is a type of female hygiene product which is made of medical grade silicone, shaped like a bell and is flexible. It is worn inside the vagina during menstruation to catch menstrual fluid (blood).

Why should you use it?

It is a healthy, reusable and Eco-friendly substitute to the Sanitary Napkins and Tampons. Unlike tampons and pads, the Cup collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing it.

Instead of absorbing your flow, like a tampon or pad, it catches and collects it.

How is Menstrual Cup better than Tampons or Pads?

It is eco-friendly. Menstrual cup is reusable

It is wallet-friendly. Menstrual cups have an average life of 10 years.

It is long-lasting. You can leave it in for 12 hours. Tampons/Pads need to be changed every 4 to 8 hours, depending on your flow. But cups can stay in longer, so they’re good for overnight protection.

There is less odor. Menstrual blood can start to smell when it’s exposed to air. But your cup forms an airtight seal.

It is safe. Experts say it’s safer than a tampon, because it has a lower risk of toxic shock syndrome, bacterial infection. When compared to a pad, there’s no chance of chafing or rash.

When should you use it?

Just before your period begins, tightly fold the menstrual cup and insert it like a tampon without an applicator. Used correctly, you shouldn’t feel it once it is in.

To remove it, you pull the stem sticking out the bottom and pinch the base to release the seal. Then you just empty, wash with soap and water, and replace. At the end of your cycle, you can sterilize your cup in boiling water.

Where can I buy it from?
