NATURE CURES

• Natural materials create a more natural and low stress environment , in contrast to manmade laminates.
• Maximum use of natural elements like sun and wind, appropriate use of colours, furnishing materials, lighting system, regulated use of mechanical and electronic gadgets etc together make up a healthy home.
• Improperly maintained gadgets and some of our own habits, increase the level of pollutants indoors, affecting air quality and ultimately our health.
• Sources of indoor pollution are building materials, water supply systems, chemical cleaner/toiletries, paints , pesticides in the vegetables we buy, vinyl carpets using adhesives, synthetic products and from footwear.
• Harmful effects range from skin rashes, burning in eyes, respiratory discomfort etc.
