The yoga journey is a purification process, you become more aware of yourself and your surroundings.
I started using organic products in August 2016. Companies call their products organic even if only 5% of the ingredients are organic, so please ask for references in the store or online.
For producers of organic food there is a certification process, including; farmers, food processors, retailers, restaurants and seed suppliers. Requirements vary from country to country, see a list here.
This implies that there are no certification for cosmetics.
Research
Organic farming
– Organic farming uses 45% less energy and is more efficient.
– Organic farming systems build rather than deplete soil organic matter, making it a more sustainable system.
– Organic yields match conventional yields.
Organic farmers earned 22% to 35% more money a 2015 meta-analysis about the economics of organic farming, published in the journal PNAS, determined.
Nutritional value
One 2012 study from Stanford University reviewed 237 top papers on the topic and found no evidence of a significant difference in health benefits between produce grown organically versus conventionally grown food.
Documentary
