Years ago we decided to take responsibility of our own health by living as naturally as possible. We started on this quest in the late 1980's and the journey has taken us from urban city living to our own homestead in the Ozarks. In our last 20 years of research we have learned so very much, and this little spot on the web is our way of sharing it with others. Over the years we have found healthy, natural alternatives to the popular yet un-natural products that, with constant everyday use, detrimentally affect our health. Here’s our current alternative list:

Commercial Product	Our Natural Alternative
Vitamins & Minerals	Herbs as Teas & Tinctures
Supplements	‘Power Foods’
Over-the-Counter Drugs	Herbs as Tinctures & Powders & Essential Oils
Air Fresheners	Essential Oils
Laundry Detergent & Fabric Softener	Handcrafted Laundry Soap & Vinegar with Essential Oils
Cleaning Supplies	Baking Soda, Vinegar, Borax & Essential Oils
Deodorants with Aluminum	Handcrafted Aluminum-free Deodorant
Toothpaste with Fluoride & SLS	Natural Fluoride & SLS-free Tooth Powder
Commercial (glycerine deficient) Soap & Detergent Bars	Handcrafted Pure Soap
Shampoos with SLS & -glycols	Handcrafted SLS-free Shampoo (still under formulation)
‘Chemical Soup’ Toiletries	Handcrafted, All-Natural Toiletries
‘Chemical Soup’ Moisturizers	Handcrafted, All-Natural Moisturizers

Most of the items in ‘Our Natural Alternatives’ list are available here on our web site. Others, such as baking soda and vinegar, are easily found at your local stores.

Our journey has been a progression from herbal health to aromatherapy to natural body products . . . and we’re excited to see where it will take us next!
