Save the Tatas! Eliminate XenoEstrogens

Long before XenoEstrogens were a known thing, my grandmother Bessie had to deal with cancer. After having a radical and horribly done mastectomy she died years later from bone cancer. So, Save the Tatas! Eliminate XenoEstrogens.

Getting the chemicals OUT of your daily routine is SO important! Most mass market deodorants have dangerous XenoEstrogens. Save the Tatas! Eliminate XenoEstrogens. ESPECIALLY when you are applying those chemicals under your arms where your lymph nodes work so hard. All of the products that you apply to your skin, actually go IN to your body.

Thistle Hill Botanicals can help. We have created a Natural and VERY Effective Natural Deodorant that is a GREAT value. A 2 ounce container of Finally! Natural Deodorant that Works will last one person 3-5 months, making our product not only ALL natural and effective but a GREAT value! Customers have begged us not to ever stop making our deodorant. Some customers have told us they use it every 48 hours. Every body is different.

We now offer our natural and effective deodorant in three all natural scents: Light Citrus, Organic Lavender, and Ancient Spice. We are currently also developing a NEW formula for extra sensitive skin. Our deodorant is safe for use with Chemotherapy patients (we have been told this by a few patients).

If you have young children or teens starting to use deodorant please start them early with natural products. Our chemical loads in our bodies builds up year after year. In the past what we did not know could hurt us, but we know better now! This is a great item to share with those you love, our Finally! Natural Deodorant that Works makes a wonderful little stocking stuffer. So Save the Tatas! Eliminate XenoEstrogens. Share with your friends and family.

All of our products are made with love in Floyd, Virginia USA in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

The Number One Reason Why!

images Here is the rather personal story of how cancer touched me at an early age. This event has changed my awareness throughout my life and is the WHY I make Natural Products, WHY I care, WHY I stay motivated.

One morning when I was a preteen my grandmother was visiting our home. I did not know that she was in my parents room getting dressed. I walked in and saw her getting her self together, she was quite startled! I do not remember being told that she had had Cancer. Back then they preformed rather brutal and dis-forming radical mastectomies. Not only was what I saw scary at my age, but how upset my Nana was made it so much worse. I felt horrible!

As I got a bit older, cancer and cancer prevention became something we were able to talk about. I always felt there was more of a risk for me and I never wanted that kind of surgery to happen to me or anyone else for that matter.

I am not perfect, I try to eat healthy, natural, whole foods most of the time, for many years since I had a choice I have actively worked to get chemicals out of my life as much as possible.

So there it is. My Finally Natural Deodorant that Works! (really does) has NO bad stuff! My Tooth Fairy Dental Cleaning Powder….also NO bad stuff!…..and all of the other products that I make. I use them myself so they have to be good!

The Beeswax and Vegan Controversy

I have been doing a lot of research on beeswax.  Some consider it not vegan and some do. Here is the scoop:  According to Peta many large bee farms treat their Queens inhumanely and take honey away when the bees desperately need it to survive the winter months.
Beeswax is a byproduct of the bees, they are not killed for their beeswax.  There are alternatives, however the most desired ones are made from palm trees.  So I have made an executive decision that here at Thistle Hill Botanicals we would rather use a totally natural and sustainable product rather than contribute to the destruction of the rainforests which is where palm oils and waxes mostly originate from.

Our beeswax comes from a small apiary that educates other beekeepers in the region on proper and sustainable beekeeping.  Our beeswax comes from happy bees that are well cared for and treated with respect.  Beeswax is used in small amounts in some not all of our products.  Let us know if you have any questions.
