Being Organic

It seems that everywhere you look today you see products stamped as “Organic” but what does it really mean?

Making something “Organic”, whether it is produce or a product is actually a process that is certified to ensure that the products have been grown and handled according to the strictest procedures and without toxic chemicals. Technically, organic means that goods grown or made are done so without the use of pesticides, fertilizes that are synthetic, or made from sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation. Additionally, animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products do not take hormones or antibiotics.

Buying organic produce and products are beneficial to everyone, both directly by ensuring the produce you eat and products you use do not contain harsh toxins which affect your body, and indirectly by protecting the environment by keeping harsh chemicals out of the air, water and soil.

Key Benefits of choosing Organic;

• Reduces the Toxic levels in our air, water, soil, and our bodies
• Reduces or Eliminates Farm and Manufacturing Pollution
• Protects Future Generations
• Promotes Biodiversity and Wildlife
• Organic Production reduces Health Risks

Besides the benefits to the environment, using organic materials in Relax Packs is critical because for many people who suffer from chronic illness, the effects of toxic chemicals and pesticides used in traditional cotton and farming (some of the most chemically dependant crops) can cause very unhealthy reactions.

Your skin, your body’s largest organ, is extremely absorbent and is affected by all material put on it, and surrounding it. Did you know that 60 percent of the products women put on their skin (make-up, soaps and shampoos) gets absorbed into their body? When dealing with chronic illness, your body becomes extremely sensitive, either to the touch, or by over reacting to the slightest chemicals. Using organic materials ensures that all the fabric, flax, and herbs used in Relax Packs contain no harsh chemicals during its entire process, from farming, harvesting, dyeing, and manufacturing, resulting in a product that you can confidently use.

For those who have extreme sensitivities and allergies, we also make our Organic All Natural Unscented packs.
