Hi everyone,
This is a really random question but maybe some of you will know. I'm having massive gut flora problems through use of antibiotics. Because of this, I read a book on the microbiome and I concluded that we are too super santeritised in general in 1st world countries.
Basically, your trillions of good microbes largely look after you in most elements of your body, including your skin and hair. As an experiment, I stopped using shampoo and just used water and sponge on it everyday - after a few months, it basically started washing itself.
However, this also means I use too much anti bacterial soap in the shower every day, which is kind of bad. However, obviously I don't want to just use water in my body so I wondered if anyone knows any natural body washes. I have already found a natural deorourant which is quite good. I only really want to use antibacterial stuff on my hands.
Does anyone else do this or know or anyone who uses them? What is there to get? . I'd rather just buy a something which is ready to use.
Thanks - odd question I know.... lol
Edit: No weird chemicals in the ingredients list either please as this also disrupts the microbiome
