Tip #1: To be natural the Indian way!

Hi All,

I have tasted Vim bar, Pril etc., Have you? Guess each of us would have, atleast once, when we or our servants dont wash of the soap properly. Here is an idea to overcome this!

You can use Shikha powder instead of these chemical dish washing bars. We have started using this in our home! And it is in no way inferior to the dishwashing bars. Shika powder easily removes the oils from the vessles. Infact, I felt it is far more powerful than the dish washing bars.

The scientific name for shika kai plant is Acacia concinna. The powder is prepared by drying the fruit pods, leaves and bark of the plant and then grinding it into a powder. The bark contains Saponin which is a foaming and cleaning agent.

Shika powder is available in all provisional stores in India. Big brands like 'Meera' have also started selling shika powder packs, which will be available in almost all super markets.

Shika powder has a very low pH, therefore it will not extract the natural oil from your skin, unlike the chemical dish washing bars and solutions. I have seen many ladies complaining that their skin has become rough after using such and such a dish washing bar or soap. Sometimes the skin becomes so dry that it starts peeling off. So, to maintain the beautiful skin of your hands, start using Shika powder!

Even if by chance, you dont wash off the shika powder properly, there is no need to worry. Its totally natural and will not harm your body even when it goes into your body!

And last but not the least, by using Shika powder, you prevent water pollution!

So what are you all waiting for? Just start using shika powder!!
