Small eco-friendly measures for overall well-being
3 SIMPLE STEPS TO BETTER HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT
Most of us prefer products that have little impact on the environment. We often go for sustainably made apparel and cosmetics. Many have also gone vegan. However, incorporating this practice in our day-to-day lives, down to ensuring that even a matchstick we use is responsibly made might be difficult but definitely not impossible.
In this Go Green path that we tread, we are taking care of God’s creations. Then why not we pick the right products for our daily prayers? Here are some small ways in which we can do that:
Pick responsibly-made aromatic products
Most of us offer flowers to deities at temples and in homes. There is a long supply chain of flowers and each day this market sees a whole lot of wastage. There are brands, like Phool and Hoovu, that make incense sticks using the waste flowers from temples. Some other brands, like Vedastika, use only non-allergic aromatic compounds and natural ingredients when making their incense sticks, ensuring little environmental impact.
Go for organic Kapoor/Camphor
We already know the benefits of Kapoor/ Camphor. However, what we get commonly is synthetic camphor. Fumes from such camphor can be harmful. The use of the organic Bhimseni Camphor can truly be beneficial to one’s health. It is safer for the skin and to inhale. Brands, like Mangalam offer 100% pure, organic Bhimseni Camphor, sourced from pine trees.
Light eco-friendly diyas
Lighting Diyas with oil is a common practice and quite alright. However, using ghee to light these tiny lamps is believed to spread positivity. Another practice that can have positive, germ-killing effects is the burning of cow dung when conducting hawan. Combining the benefits of ghee and cow dung, brands have introduced cow dung-diyas with ghee. Considering the individual benefits of cow dung and ghee, these diyas are definitely beneficial to health and moreover, create little to no harmful waste.
Simple measures like these can push you little forward on your Go Green path while also helping you stay in the pink of health.
Cow-dung diyas and Hoovu agarbattis are available at your nearest Pilgrimaide Pooja Shoppe.
