To go natural is a slow and gradual process for me. I feel a lot more
comfortable when using natural products because I know what I'm doing to my
body and I know they not harmful to me.
Here are some products I've used OR I'm using at the moment along with
mini reviews in brackets:
Health related:
- Now
Foods, Garlic 5000, 90 Tablets (for my skin, hair and nails)
- Madre

- Nature's
Way, Organic, Echinacea Purpurea Herb, 400 mg, 180 Capsules
I live at dorm 5 days in a week and I can't eat as healthy
as I do at home. I bought these mainly because I want to boost my immunity and
to prevent any possible illnesses that I'm prone to during this assignment
period at uni (ahhh I wanna just be lazy). They have been helping me so far.
There were only 2 days when I felt I like I might be sick but I kept taking
these supplements and I didn't actually get sick :D
One thing I've noticed is that I get stomach pain after I
took the Echinacea Purpurea Herb sometimes, which it goes away after
like half an hour. Not really sure why.

I just realised how many things I have bought from
iherb.com! Their shipping is fast and liquid products are safely packed with
zip-lock bags. Plus there is a sweet little gift included inside. I'm so
satisfied with all of my purchases so far.
Stay tune for more in-depth reviews of the products soon! :)
