Natural, is the most lightly used word in India, I realised. You will find almost every product, from food to holi colors, from skin care to probably even light bulbs, is being touted as natural these days. But, if you go a step ahead and look at their “complete” ingredient list (if they have one mentioned, that is!), you will realise what you are in for!
It soon became a passion to scout out for the truly natural products... the ones without the nasties lurking in them ...and the ones closest to what your body would approve of, if it could speak up...And the ones that our nani ma and dadi ma would have concocted and , if they wanted to! It wasn’t easy in the beginning, but with enough knowledge, I marched on. Coz I knew, that this was the answer to the chemical onslaught around me that I (and most of us) was so happily unaware of!
