A friend in Brazil shared a snap-in cloth that has a washable liner. We also want to encourage giving your blood back to the earth by sitting on the earth at this time and feeling the release
that occurs when moon time approaches. Preferably no methods
for menstrual absorption would be thrown away. A sustainable method would
be to have dedicated underwear and pants and skirts. There are natural
sponges that can be boiled to sterilize and then inserted for light days.
These can also be used, rinsed and reinserted on heavy flow days. An
old wool sweater that has been shrunken (almost felted) and layered over organic cotton scraps of fabric can be used. There is a silicon cup also that can be inserted to hold the flow.
It is important for everyone involved to share experiences so that we can track data and turn information into valuable research which will be listened to. Please share your experiences below.
Sharing experiences of simplifying our lives by turning away from product use and towards simple, edible options for our everyday personal, household and environmental care.
WASHING YOUR FACE WITH BAKING SODA
Splash water on the FACE and sprinkle baking soda on fingers. Lightly rub in and
rinse with another splash of water. Baking soda is good for clearing EYES especially if chemical buildup is already
neutralized. May sting at first but as chemical buildup
clears and products are avoided it will feel refreshing. OTHER OPTIONS include all of the things for showering) rubbed into skin gently and rinsed thoroughly. My favorite is HONEY (also good for eyes) and occasionally a fine grind SEA SALT but don't rub anything into eyes, rinse carefully and thoroughly.

BRUSHING TEETH
My favorite DAILY TOOTH BRUSHING POWDER is bentonite clay simply sprinkled on the natural bristle or silicon toothbrush. It is gentle and works great for me and my dog. It can relieve pain by packing it around the tooth and painful area because it pulls and absorbs buildup and decreases inflammation, allowing blood flow to increase and clear the problem. Also absorbs toxins in the gut if swallowed.
Sprinkle baking soda, calcium carbonate (supplement form) or activated charcoal onto tooth brush and brush as usual. Baking soda and activated charcoal as well as sea salt are all natural WHITENERS. Spraying teeth with food grade hydrogen peroxide is also a whitener. Rinse with water. These are for occasional use only to protect enamel from abrasives.
GARGLE with baking soda or salt. Ozone water is also amazing. Raw organic honey also balances bacteria.
For long term care SWISHING (also called "oil pulling") with organic sesame oil or sunflower oil 15 minutes before brushing.
Other options for tooth care include horsetail and black walnut hull (also anti-parasite) for regenerating ENAMEL after glycerin toothpaste is discontinued.
Rubbing spots that are darkened with a peeled twig from the black birch tree will
remove the spots and discourage CAVATIES. This is also a natural way to FLOSS.
Temporary FILLINGS can be made with %100 clove oil and zinc oxide
powder.
Chewing cloves or fennel seeds as well as black birch twigs and mint leaves can freshen BREATH by actually addressing causes. It is also helpful to occasionally brush with sea salt to balance bacteria but it is too abrasive for everyday use.

WASHING HANDS and DISHES
A small ceramic dish with baking soda or sea salt by
the sink can be used to wash HANDS by taking
a pinch and rubbing wet hands together with the baking soda. It is the friction that gets things clean. Additional ANTIMICROBIAL concerns can be addressed by using Grapefruit Seed Extract by NutriBiotics and the small bottle fits in a pocket easily for restroom visits away from home. Add one drop to wet hands or mix with the baking soda.
Another HAND helper, for breaking down calcium deposits
and JOINT swelling is to soak in a mild white vinegar that is made from
apples and is preferably organic.
If using oil on skin organic coconut, sesame, sunflower oil
can be used on wet hands until chemical residue buildup is
dispersed and then it will be no longer be necessary. DRY SKIN
is dead skin and without petrol chemical products dead skin
is exfoliated gently with baking soda. Caution! Going back
and forth can cause a head on collision for regenerating cells
and disruptions on the skin may occur. Note: Sodium
Laurel Sulfate is the petrol chemical that creates SUDS even in
homemade soaps and studies show it is highly linked to organ
toxicity.

Use the same things for washing DISHES by dipping a brush into the dish of baking soda or salt and scrubbing dishes then rinsing thoroughly. For burned pots just sprinkle scorched area with baking soda and vinegar and scrub off easily after soaking a bit.
Baking soda and vinegar can also be used in the dishwasher same way as petrol products.

IN THE SHOWER
In the shower, you can sprinkle baking soda on SKIN and rub to exfoliate, put it on a wash cloth or make a paste. It is necessary to step out from under the water
while applying then rinse thoroughly when completely exfoliated. Sesame, or sunflower organic Oils can be applied lightly to wet skin when in transition but are generally not necessary once chemical buildup is gone. OTHER OPTIONS include fine grind SEA SALT rubbed on skin with wet hands for exfoliation of dry skin because "dry skin is dead skin". You can even do this without getting wet first and then rinse using minimal water and time. Starting at toes and fingers and moving towards heart also clears lymph, where toxins clog flow and enter bloodstream. MY FAVORITE is ORGANIC HONEY mixed with water (start with 1 tablespoon in a 12 oz bottle of water then experiment to find your best ratio) and poured over skin or into palm and rubbed onto skin then rinsed well. Straight honey is also very soothing and can be used lightly with more rinsing and rubbing if you don't mind the stickiness. For a deep clearing of toxic accumulations ACTIVATED CHARCOAL can be mixed with water in the same way and used occasionally when you have time to rinse thoroughly and clean it off the shower. If you miss the slippery feeling of soap you can use BENTONITE CLAY occasionally or any of these intermittently with the honey for balancing and soothing detoxification.

HAIR care options include making a paste with
baking soda and water, work it into the scalp, rinse
thoroughly and hair will be conditioned naturally
by the balanced oils the body produces. Hair product buildup can
require a transition period of a couple of weeks. For DRY HAIR you can rinse the scalp with a mild vinegar and either
leave in or rinse. Using mild vinegar is good for tangles
and removing yeast which causes an itchy scalp. OTHER OPTIONS include all of the things above (for showering) rubbed into scalp and rinsed thoroughly thru ends of hair. My favorite is HONEY FOR FULLNESS, and occasionally just vinegar mixed with water to hold oils or clear ends. A WOOL CAP can help hair dry faster or while sleeping and add lanolin (as well as B12 to hair and scalp. In humid weather a tiny bit of
baking soda and water, work it into the scalp, rinse

For STYLING , organic aloe vera juice (for drinking) can be applied to dry or wet hair. Diluted honey can also hold hair in place.
