You have probably heard the term  ‘organic’ before and perhaps seen organic food on your supermarket shelves, but what does it really mean?

 When something is described as organic it refers to the way the item has been produced.

The One-Group website describes organic as being “Organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms.

 Modern farming methods have involved the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides for generations, now.  Our food is made from these ingredients and then altered again with the addition of preservatives and other ‘enhancements’.  Is it any wonder that the children of today are having higher levels of reaction to food?

 It isn’t just the food we eat that is affected; it is every crop in the modern world.  Our clothing and material products have been affected.  They are made from materials like cotton that have been farmed with chemicals.  All the base ingredients for most laundry and bathroom products have added chemicals – even the fragrance is chemically produced.   Our homes are full of them. 

Wouldn’t it be nice to go back to the old-fashioned way of doing things naturally?

You can.  That is what organic really means.  No chemicals or preservatives are used.  The products have been produced the way nature intended them to be.  The earth has not been damaged in the process and we do not have to live with the pollutants left behind.  Organic means made in the way of nature and with consideration for the environment.

Organic products are good for us all but they are excellent for people with allergies or skin conditions.  Being chemical-free they are less likely to cause irritation.

 When you think about the world you would have to ask why we have to damage its balance with chemicals.  When you think of your skin you should be asking the same question.
