We are blessed to live in beautiful northern California and get to enjoy sunny weather most of the year. As I have walked the path of becoming healthier, I have also tried to reduce my impact on the environment. One of new things I have started incorporating into my lifestyle is drying my clothes outside on a clothesline. We switched to a natural, unscented laundry detergent many years ago but were still using the dryer and dryer sheets.
One of the ways I work with my patients is by helping them reduce the toxic burden on their bodies. This means we support their liver in removing toxins in their system as well as lower the amount of toxins going into their body. A simple way to avoid toxins is by using non-toxic skin care products. After all, our skin is our largest organ, what we apply topically does get absorbed into our bodies.
