Undoing the Stigma, and Finding Pride in Healing with Nature
The other day a client expressed how appalled she was at the prices of high-end skincare of which most were made entirely of synthetic and potentially hazardous ingredients. I thought about her comment and combined that with the skepticism I have seen from others when they hear about "natural" or "plant-based" skincare. It made me notice something very telling of our society, and how this can impact all of us!
I do acknowledge that the common use of these "high-end" yet commercial skincare brands is by force of habit where up until very recently, there were barely any healthy plant-based alternatives that women could turn to. But the fact that it's taking so long for women to shift to natural healing or natural skincare proves how much of our socio-political past has affected how we relate to nature.
As a new world society, we have been indoctrinated into believing that the use of elements sourced directly from nature is a primitive act reserved for the uncivilized. This indoctrination originated from the colonial days (17th- mid 20th century) when the British were in India. As a way of domination, they had to destabilize the local culture and one of the ways in which they did this was by prohibiting the funding of Ayurvedic colleges and clinics. They banned the publication, distribution, and use of Ayurvedic books, and depicted the practice and belief in natural healing as barbaric!
It's time to undo that stigma that continues to influence our subconscious in the most subliminal and overt ways. It's time that we embrace what nature has in store for us, by understanding that we are biologically engineered to react and respond to plants' healing compounds.
