Herbalist and natural medicine expert Brigitte Mars presents Beauty by Nature, a guide for improving one's appearance with aromatherapy, essential oils, herb facials, massage, yoga postures, improved diet, and other methods that are not only good for the body, but also good for the environment. Covering all aspects of external body care, from natural remedies to treat acne, dry or oily skin, and prevent wrinkles to keeping one's eyes healthy, applying beneficial natural deodorants and fragrances, keeping teeth and nails in good condition and much more. Beauty by Nature is a guide for everyone, men as well as women, young and old alike. Its emphasis on avoiding high-sugar, over-processed diet or harsh drug and chemical remedies in favor of more unprocessed foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, and natural or herbal options is a welcome supplement to personal health and self-care reference shelves.

This is the book body products manufacturers don't want you to have! Now you can make your own home made, perfectly pure and personalized body products. Beauty by Nature has recipes for everything from facial masks and deodorant to shampoo and lotion in addition to thoroughly explaining the effects and uses of many herbs, foods and other common ingredients so that you can mix up a batch of exactly what your body needs.
I love it!

I picked this book up by curiosity once and found all kinds of things I liked, so of course I had to have it. There are multiple chapters for making all kinds of natural beauty and body care products that are clean, simple and personalized. Included is recipes for lotions, bath salts and soaks, weight loss aids, hair care, eye health and so much more! There's even stuff for men, kids, and babies, so no one gets left out. I like that Briggette hints often at the importance of adding more raw foods in the diet for overall health and beauty (because diet plays a *huge* part in how we look, feel, and act). Overall this book is a wonderful resource for those who want to live more clean and green, or for those who have sensitivities to most products. I would definitely recommend this one.
