Sarva Natural Artisan Soaps
New story from Soap Leaves, the Sarva Soaps Blog
Leaves on Bridge, Shaker Lakes, Cleveland Ohio. ©2009 Michelle Gilbert. Declaration of Freedom Whatever may seem to bind or limit you, Declare yourself free from it now. There is nothing in the outer world, No person, no condition, no circumstance That can take away th...e freedom Which is yours in spirit. Instead of wishing that you were free To live your life differently, Accept the truth that right now You are free. Free to change your thinking, Free to change your outlook on life, Free to be all that you long to be… - Swami Satyananda Saraswati I wanted to share the above with you (I’ve abridged it slightly).  This inspired and affected me deeply when I received it in my inbox today (thank you North American Gurukul). Here we are on the crest of not only a new year, but also a new decade.   As we both reflect back on 2009 and look forward to 2010, let’s also remember and enjoy the opportunity, power, and beauty of right now.  After all, “right now” creates both our future and, ultimately, our past. The coming year will bring some changes to the Sarva product line as well as what I’ll be writing about here, and I’ll fill you in soon.  But… let’s stick to right now!  I simply want to wish you a happy and safe New Year celebration as well as peace, happiness, and prosperity in 2010. Happy New Year! Share and Enjoy:

Sarva Natural Artisan Soaps why do YOU buy Sarva Soaps? The look, the feel on your skin, the scents? Because they're 100% natural and not 97% natural? Got another reason? Do tell! Your comments will influence the direction we take in 2010!

If I didn't make my own soap - I would buy yours to "treat" myself. It's not every day you can buy an original work of art for less than $20! The scent is incredible as well. Knowing that it's "natural" seals the deal. Good job Michelle!

Jennifer We gave your soaps to family members last week (and will give some more tomorrow). My grandma had a soap truffle in her soap dish the very next day. :)

Sarva Natural Artisan Soaps is sad to report we must discontinue Satori soap. The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) has banned methyl chavicol, a constituent of particular varieties of basil essential oil. Satori contains basil. In order to comply with IFRA, we are forced to discontinue manufacture of Satori. The only way to offer a bas...il-like scent would be to use a synthetic fragrance. Please accept our apologies.

Sarva Natural Artisan Soaps Disinfectants cause some bacteria to ADAPT/THRIVE, testing shows. Great reason to use plain soap and water.

To keep sickness at bay, many of us constantly wash hands and disinfect surfaces. But a new lab study shows one pesky bacterium eats cleansers for breakfast: When disinfectant was applied to lab cultures of the bacteria, they adapted to survive not only the disinfectant but also a common antibiotic.

If you DO want to use antimicrobial agents, consider essential oils. Remember, lab chemicals and antibiotics are always the same chemical structure. Thus, they give microbes something to mutate and develop immunity against, if you will. However, essential oils vary in chemotype and structure naturally, and this largely gets around the whole ...

Carson et al, Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy) was found to inhibit 64 strains of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staph aureus)!

Sarva Natural Artisan Soaps Christmas greenery fire retardant, make it yourself! Mix 5 tbsp borax, 4 tbsp epsom salts, 2 quarts water. Spray and allow to dry. (if you've decorated the greenery, make sure the decorations are waterproof, and don't spray this on your tree if you've already strung lights!) Remember, this is not firePROOFing, only fire retardant.
