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?  Winter is here.  Start using neem throughout the winter months so that by spring your feet will be presentable and sandal worthy.   And…

We like to share interesting stories with you about customer encounters, testimonials, and our handmade natural skin care products.The following article refers to our famed Sheamu Butter.              "I just wanted to take some time to thank you for helping to make my feet look normal again. I had an amazing experience with your sheamu butter product that I purchased at the Marshville Heritage Festival in Wainfleet earlier this month. I work on boats so my feet are constantly wet. My heels started to crack so bad that they were…

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 thicker! It was probably day 6 or 7 of the 11 day stretch. I was alone in the booth, morning shift. Just opened up and was having a nice cup of joe.  I look up to see an older gentlemen…

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 quality, organic oil and to beware of scam versions now entering the market. I have been researching and selling Tamanu for several years now and it has become one of my favourite…

Who wants to be in pain?  Seriously, what kind of question is that? Pain is terrible. You can take pills, baths, see doctors, but really, you just want something to work. I know I do and I will tell you I’ve had my majority of pain and I’m only 36.  Whether it’s cramps or my back or headaches.  Just get rid of it, I say.Many people have told me about their pain.  Earth to Body does not sell anything specifically for pain, but we sell products for massage.  Sometimes a gentle massage with the right oils can work wonders. I hear constantly. “I don’t want to take pills…

I'd like to share a heartwarming story about a young mother and practicing naturopath.  Lise was desperate to find help for her six-month-old baby, Luke, suffering terribly with eczema, a most difficult skin condition to treat. Lise had tried everything. 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 make any claims about eczema on our products.  As a natural skin care cosmetic company, there are rules and regulations governing what we can and cannot say. We…

Time and time again, I hear ‘success’ testimonials from my customers. This next story is particularly heartfelt. Once again, ‘One of a Kind Christmas Show’. Toronto. My favorite show of the year. Non-stop! A young man walks in, a good looking guy, but seeming quite distraught. He selects one of the literature explanations we offer. I walk over to say hi. With no dilly-dallying, he asks, “Can you help me?”. He holds up his palms. His hands are covered in warts. Not just one or two, I’m saying 30 at least. I gasp, “My goodness! You poor thing.” He sighs,…
