immediately. These 5 products are extensively marketed as essentials and are fast becoming a
part of daily life but during the research of this video, I was shocked to know that they
pose some serious health risks. We will discuss why they are so damaging and how
to switch to healthier alternatives which too are easily available and affordable. So without
any further delay, let’s get started. Hello Friends! Welcome to Fit Tuber.
Starting with #5 on the list are Pubic Hair Removal Creams
The hair removal industry is desperate to make us believe that having pubic hair is
unhygienic and gross. In fact, the opposite is true. Gynecologists are unanimous in saying that
pubic hair have a major role in preventing urinary tract and sexually transmitted infections. Just
how the hair in your nose filter out the dirt and microorganisms, pubic hair down there also
trap dirt and harmful bacteria which otherwise could enter the vagina. They have more benefits
to offer. All you need to do is keep them clean by washing that area regularly with plain water.
Still, to remove or not to remove pubic hair is a personal choice. Although, using a hair removal
cream to do so is a bad idea. Such creams are made up of extremely strong chemicals that they should
not kept applied for more than 5 minutes, else it may burn the skin. Dermatologists also warn
that such creams darken the skin when you use them regularly. Waxing is not only pricey but
also inconvenient. Since the skin down there is much thinner as compared to other body parts,
waxing can be extremely painful and may cause severe redness. Yet, if you want to go through it,
do visit a professional. Shaving no doubt is fast and cheap but it makes the delicate skin
down there prone to cuts through which bacteria can make their way into the bloodstream causing
infections. The expensive laser reduction method has its own dangers. Though its long term side
effects are still unclear but in short term skin irritation, redness and pigmentation are
common. So is there a safe method which is also affordable? It’s trimming. Just make sure that
you use a clean, sharp, small and dedicated pair of scissors. And after using, keep them
in a dry place. You can even use a bikini trimmer which comes with a shaving head and two trimming
combs to suit your preference. Its a one time investment and surely worth your precious health.
At #4 is Kajal Pencil Kajal pencil finds a place in almost
every woman’s grooming kit. Depending on the way you apply kajal, it can give your eyes an intense,
smokey or a pretty look. But beauty was not the only reason why applying kajal became a
traditional practice. According to Ayurveda, kajal keeps the eyes cool, relaxed, improves vision and
adds strength to eyes. It’s anti bacterial, improves blood circulation in eye area keeping
dark circles and many diseases at bay. But is all this true for the popular maybelline’s Kajal
pencil as well? Certainly not. They seem to be too frightened to mention the ingredients on the pack.
Although, I was able to find it’s ingredient list which now makes sense why they hide it?
Applying cyclopentasiloxane based synthetically pigmented kajal close to the delicate area of
eyes can irreversibly damage it. Color bar’s kajal is no way better. So called natural brands like
himalaya and biotique pull the wool over eyes as they don’t mention the complete ingredient
list. Using these instead of traditional ones is like replacing fire extinguisher with Kerosine
oil. Little wonder why today eye doctors are all against this once considered medicine cosmetic. So
its time you throw this so called kajal away and embrace natural. Ayurvedic Kajal pencils
like Tatsat and Farm herbs are two great options. Tatsat kajal is made from the soot extracted from
Chakshushya herbs like triphala and tulsi with a2 ghee and castor oil as mentioned
in Sahasrayogam. Farm herbs kajal is another outstanding formulation comprising numerous eye
friendly herbs. Lead free, smudge proof without any preservatives, they come in both pencil and
stick form. Surely they are priced premiumly but then isn’t it worth your priceless eyes?
At #3 are Period Pain Killers To know how much women suffer with painful periods
and menstrual cramps is hard to put in words. No wonder, many opt for ibuprofen, diclofenac
based pills to wade off the period pain. Sure, it does give relief but not for everyone. In a study,
51 out of 100 women who took these pills still had severe pain after a few hours. Even if it works,
its only a quick fix, not a solution. Clearly, they make you dependent. And they are not even
natural or safe. Stomach problems, headache, altered taste, nausea and heartburn were some
of the common side effects reported by women who regularly consumed these pain killing tablets.
So does that mean you should live with that pain? Absolutely not. You will be relieved to know that
after 6 systematic studies, it was concluded that heat therapy really works. Surprisingly,
even better than these pain killers. Of course, without any side effects. So, you can opt for
natural ingredient based pain relief heat patches. Nua cramp comfort and Evereve period pain relief
heat patches are two good options in this respect. The good old hot water pack works just fine,
although limits your activity. Ayurveda suggests that if one rubs warm castor oil on lower tummy in
circular motion relieves pain most effectively. In fact, a teaspoon of castor oil in warm water with
rock salt, acts as a natural painkiller. Yogic scriptures mention child pose as potent remedy
in mitigating period pain. A normal period is a pain free period. So, if you often suffer from
unbearable menstrual cramps then it might be your body’s signal that you are deficient in iron. Cut
the junk and treat your body with iron rich homely food. So the next time its that time of the month,
ditch the short cut and take the high road. At #2 is Synthetic Underwear
Nylon and Spandex underwears are in rage right now. Why not? They fit better and prevent visible
panty lines. But it comes with a cost, not just monetarily but health wise. The problem is that
synthetic fibres don’t allow the heat and sweat to pass through. Its like wearing a polythene
around the most sensitive and delicate area of your body. Obstructing the flow of oxygen,
it is a clear invitation to yeast infections. As these fibres don’t have the ability to absorb
sweat, once you start sweating beneath spandex, chemical could be released into the skin from the
dyes and formaldehyde used on the fabric which causes allergies. A term “spandex allergies”
is making the rounds among gynaecs. So ditch these synthetic fibres and go natural. Research suggests
that simply switching to cotton underwears always reduces the risk of intimate health problems by
at least 50%. Gynecologists suggest that if you must wear a synthetic underwear occasionally,
ensure that you buy the one with cotton lined center. Another key thing to consider when you’re
picking underwear is how tight it is. If it’s too tight it can cause friction which will irritate
you and may lead to ingrown hairs. So switch to cotton underwears and let your body breathe.
Finally at #1 is Food Plastic Do you often drink from a plastic
water bottle, eat from a plastic tiffin box or use nylon spatulas while cooking? Sure,
its convenient but be alert. Since a woman’s body is hormonally sensitive, the plastic that
comes in contact with food can mess with your hormones adversely affecting health. Today,
there is wealth of research that considers food plastic, a culprit behind increased cases of PCOS,
Thyroid and heart problems. In 2011, a study found that pregnant women with high levels of
BPA in their urine were more likely to have daughters who showed signs of hyperactivity,
anxiety, and depression. Plastic, when it comes in contact with food leaches microplastics into
it that disrupt the hormonal balance. Have you noticed how water kept in a plastic bottle for
long tastes a bit off? Obviously, one of the common solutions that is intensively promoted
is to use a BPA free plastic. But sadly, BPA free plastic bottles have either BPS or BPF which too
are as dangerous as BPA. So, throw plastic and switch to metal, glass, mud and ceramic as much
as possible. Especially, avoid anything where plastic is coming in contact with heat or is
being scratched. Plastic lunch boxes, disposable tea cups, nylon spatulas, plastic wrapped food
etc This slow poison is not what you would want to subject your body to.
So friends! These were those 5 women products that I suggest you should throw away. The links to buy
healthier alternatives are in the description box. I want to confirm that whatever I have spoken is
my honest opinion. No brand has paid me. No doubt, it's an individual choice what products one wants
to use. Still, I believe one should at least be aware of what goes in making these products and
what their consequences could be. This was the idea behind making this video. If you found this
video helpful and would want me to cover more such women products, please give it a big thumbs up.
