What happens when you look to nature for healing? What happens when you start to examine what you are consuming in your body and how it affects you mentally, spiritually and physically?
I am Tesia McClinton, founder of On My Path Naturals. While pursuing natural holistic healing, I began making handmade natural herbal soaps. Through research and natural remedies like cleansing, detoxing, changing my diet, and altering the products and environment I was exposed to, I healed the pain in my arm and elbow. This process heightened my awareness of what I was absorbing into my body. I realized that we consume not only from the food we eat, but also from what we drink, the products we use on our skin, and the environment around us. Even using ointment, cream, or other skin products is a form of consumption.
Recognizing my skin as my body’s largest organ, I set out to address the inflammation causing debilitating pain in my arm and elbow, making it nearly impossible to lift or use. I tackled the inflammation from both internal and external approaches. I transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle and began making my own natural, herbal soap free of harsh chemicals, preservatives, synthetics, artificial ingredients, fragrance oils, and animal products to ensure I knew exactly what was absorbing into my skin. As I continued this regimen, the pain in my arm and elbow subsided.
I began sharing my handmade soaps with family and close friends, encouraging them to be mindful of the ingredients they use on their body, skin, and in their environment. The soaps are handcrafted using natural ingredients formulated to deliver superior skin care. Each batch is made in small quantities to ensure the highest quality. The cold-press method is utilized to make the soap, each bar is hand-cut; and goes through a curing process. Many of the natural herbs come directly from my organic garden. Our soaps are used to wash hands, body and hair. The ingredients are infused with quality, unrefined oils like coconut, avocado, grapeseed, and castor to enhance cleansing and moisturizing. Many of the bars have incorporated nourishing plant butters like mango and shea, as well as raw honey from my beehives for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-aging, and antioxidant benefits. The soaps have exfoliating properties to help remove dead skin cells. Most soaps have a mild, natural scent from the infused oils, with some containing the richer aromas of pure essential oils.
On My Path Naturals soaps are made without any preservatives, synthetic, or artificial ingredients, harsh chemicals, fragrance-free, no color, and no animal products.
If you experience skin or health issues, it’s imperative to be mindful of the products you apply to your skin. After all, your skin is your biggest organ and primary eliminative system, whatever you put on your skin gets absorbed into your bloodstream and lymphatic system.
The harmful chemicals in many products and the side effects of them can contribute to skin and health issues. The cleansing, nourishing, hydrating and moisturizing formula of On My Path Naturals soaps can assist in keeping the skin healthy.
Maintaining good health requires a holistic approach. Be intentional in the products and practices you combine into your daily routine. Prioritizing natural, gentle options for your skin can make a significant difference in your well-being.
As a small business, we are dedicated and strive to make the highest-quality natural soap and skin products. Our soaps cleanse, nourish and moisturize providing beneficial effects for the skin and body. For more information, please contact us by email.
