Super products from nature
-
Nature has a lot to offer people, we just don't always think about it. Or at least we don't think about it enough. Nature offers products that add something to our health, both inside and out. The products that have a double effect and can be used in different ways are ideal to have at home and to apply regularly. Some of these multitaskers listed.
Widely applicable
-
Throughout the centuries man has managed to maintain himself in nature and that means that the products that we find in nature have been used sufficiently functionally. At some point, however, things also got down, because we started copying natural products and the chemical substances can be bought for much less money. A good example is a product such as rose oil. The chemical can be bought for a few euros. However, the real rose oil is very expensive, because the process of the many leaves that have to float in the water and from which the scent has to be distilled is very labor-intensive. Not to mention the many roses you need for the process.
Affordable
-
Fortunately there are also plenty of products straight from nature that are very affordable. Products that are grown for the often double added value that these products provide for humans.
