Avocado. Also known as the alligator pear. Green in colour and full of adventure. Can be both eaten and worn. Rich in antioxidants, protein and essential oils. A fruit not to be taken for granted.
Did you know that avocado

While surfing for winter tips, I found some interesting suggestions. While I did not agree with everything said, (some of the recommended moisturizers would do just the opposite), I liked the main tip categories and decided to share some with you. When appropriate, I suggest some Earth to Body products to help.
1. Stay cozy but at a comfortable temperature: Too warm a room will dry you out. ...

Amla (emblica officinalis), Amalaki, Indian gooseberry. In autumn, in wet forested hilly areas of India’s subcontinent, the amla or gooseberry fruit ripens. Sacred to India, sour in taste, sumptuous to eat. In many countries, food good to eat is also food good for the skin. Canada is listening.
I am very conscious of what feeds my skin. We started Earth to Body 15 years ago, due to an illness...

How are your feet? Last spring, I wrote 'Your Neem Footprint' discussing neem* and feet. People were thinking about wearing sandals and were concerned about the condition of their feet. The calluses, the toenail fungus, the itchiness, the cracked heels.
It is time to revisit this issue. We tend to neglect our feet, especially in the winter months when they are under cover. Need I remind you...

The above photo is a glimpse into our new shop production area. Russ is pouring an assembly of Tooth Cleansers, soon to be labeled and brought out to our storefront. Some will also be sold online, or at a craft show somewhere else in Canada. People are loving the cleanser. It may take a little getting used to creating a 'green splash of sink art’, but the tooth cleansing results are proving...

I guess you can say I’m hard headed, or maybe stubborn. Or perhaps this day after being at the Calgary Stampede day in day out I was just tired. Either way, in this particular case, I was just adamant that my point was going to get across no matter what. Hundreds of thousands of people come through this world-renowned exhibition. You must have thick skin to do what I do, and at this show even...

A while back I wrote a blog called ‘Tireless Tamanu’ which you may wish to peruse on our website. It discloses the source, the sustainability and the certification of our Tamanu Oil. It talks about the incredible journey of the tamanu seed by the South Pacific waves, where the seed roots and how the oil is so amazing on the skin.
The article will remind you to always look for dark green, high...

I'd like to share a heartwarming story about a young mother and practicing naturopath.

She was seeking an alternative to the prescribed steroid creams.
Lise had heard about ‘Earth To Body’ by word of mouth. We do not advertise nor...
