Hot water opens the skins pores and allows the volatile toxic compounds that are abundant in tap water to be absorbed through the skin and lungs.
Lungs – there is plenty of space. Thus, it is a common place for ama (toxins and undigested food materials) to deposit and lodge.
The skin – the largest organ of the body with a large surface area where these toxins can directly enter the bloodstream without being processed by the liver.
This is why in Ayurveda, herbs are trans-dermally administered via medicated oils, pastes (lepams) etc. – to bypass the liver and effectively deliver medicine deep into the tissues.
You are now using organic cosmetics, soaps, shampoos etc., Great! but you are still flooding yourself with toxins that absorb into the blood and reap havoc throughout the body.
Chlorine and disinfection by products in your tap water irritate the mucous membranes, disrupt the skins microbial balance, clog the skins pores, strip the natural oils from your hair and create dry, itchy skin.
These volatile toxins also damage the structure of your home, imagine what they can do to your body!
The best way to prevent volatile compounds entering your blood stream during bathing is to install a whole-home water filtration system.
Luckily our friends at Natural Action Technologies have developed one of the best whole home water filtration + re-structuring systems on the planet.
You deserve the best. A whole home system can protect your family from harmful toxins and provide you with the life-force, prana filled water you deserve.
