I am really excited to say I have been given the wonderful
opportunity to write about some of my favorite natural health products from
Redmond Trading Company. They were so generous as to offer me an array of products
that I have been testing out for the past few weeks and now get to share my
thoughts about with you!
So without further ado…
Facial
Mud Mask- I love this product. It is made from clay and water. That’s
it. Nothing like the facial masks you would find at the drugstore. It’s not riddled
with chemicals and preservatives and it works really well. I have occasion
breakouts and this really calms them down. It’s also a really relaxing excuse
to watch an episode on Netflix.
Bath
Salts- Similar to all of Redmond’s products, these bath salts
have a short ingredient list. It is real salt, unrefined, filled with trace
minerals. I went out and bought a small storage tub as a makeshift spa tub for
soaking my feet with the bath salts. You can also use it in the bathtub
obviously. It’s not an oily salt so it will not leave you or your tub slippery
and greasy. The minerals soak in through your pores and make your skin really
soft.
Earthpaste- I
have been using Earthpaste for over a year and according to my dentist, I have
perfect dental health. This toothpaste comes in three flavors, all made with
clay and essential oils: Peppermint, Wintergreen, and Lemon Twist. All are very
good and leave your mouth feeling even cleaner than traditional toothpaste (also
drinking orange juice right after doesn’t destroy your taste buds).
Seasonings
and Salt- I was pleasantly surprised to find that Redmond had a line
of seasonings. I’ve tried garlic salt, onion salt, seasoned salt, and Real
Salt. All are really good swaps for regular seasoning and table salts. I was
hesitant to start using the seasonings because it visually looks different.
Redmond doesn’t refine their salts, meaning they don’t strip it of the
naturally occurring nutrients. I thought I would be able to taste the difference
and I was worried it would affect my recipes, but I was glad to find it didn’t.
I highly suggest switching to Redmond for Real Salt because you’d be surprised to
find that your table salt has been rid of everything great about natural salt
and has unnecessary additives.
Dehydrated
Clay-
There’s a lot of ways you can use the clay powder. You can make fresh facial
mud or toothpaste and store them in an airtight glass container. You want to
make sure that the clay doesn’t touch metal as it can draw out toxins from the
metal and you don’t want that in your bloodstream. A more ambitious way to use
the clay powder is internally. Clay is actually really good for digestion and
stomach problems, (perhaps for more severe problems consult a physician) and
drawing out toxins from your body. To
ingest the clay, add a little bit to a large glass of water. Getting dehydrated
clay would be ideal for someone who enjoys making their own products.
EarthCure
Soap-
If you have ever wanted a natural soap that doesn’t kill good bacteria, I
suggest this. I had tried a bunch of different soaps from organic grocery store
soaps, to Lush’s handmade soaps, but none have been really good hand soaps. I
use Lush as a body wash but when you’re washing your hands to make dinner, you
don’t really want particles of plants all over your hands. EarthCure soap is a
foaming soap that is made only with natural ingredients. I have Peppermint
scented soap and I really like that oil for disinfecting. I am kind of
germaphobic so I wash my hand a lot and this soap doesn’t dry my hands out like
other kinds do. It also comes in Lavender and Citrus which I am probably going
to order right after I stop writing about it.
