Root to Bloom Apothecary

Did you know rice water can be beneficial for both your plants and your hair?

🍚 Fermented Rice Water for Plants
Fermented rice water contains nutrients and beneficial microbes that can help support healthy soil and plant growth. Simply put a lose cap on over your rice water and let sit on the counter for 24-48 hours. You will know it is fermented when it develops a tangy, slightly sour, sourdough-like aroma. Gardeners often use it to:
• Improve soil microbial activity
• Support stronger root development
• Encourage healthy plant growth
• Provide trace nutrients plants can use

💆‍♀️ Regular Rice Water for Hair
Rice water has been used for generations as a natural hair treatment. It contains amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that may help:
• Improve hair’s appearance and shine
• Reduce the look of dryness and frizz
• Support stronger-feeling hair
• Leave hair feeling smoother and more manageable

Whether you’re caring for your garden or your hair, rice water is a simple way to make use of something that often gets poured down the drain!

The sun is not the problem. Your cooking oil is.

We’ve got this backwards. A whole generation learned to fear the one thing humans evolved under for two million years, and to trust the stuff that’s only been in the food supply for about seventy.

Here’s what nobody tells you. The linoleic acid in seed oils gets built into your skin, into the membrane of every cell, and those fats are fragile and unstable. So when sunlight hits skin loaded with them, the UV sets off a chain reaction called lipid peroxidation: the fat oxidizes, inflammation fires, and you burn faster than you should.

Then you blame the sun.

The sun just exposed what you’d been eating.

Swap it for what’s on this plate. Real fats from animals that lived right, egg yolks, liver, oily fish, raw honey, fruit. The stuff your great-grandparents ate without thinking about it.

Feed yourself that way and your body starts handling sunlight the way it was always meant to.

So this summer, stop hiding.

Get out early, build it up slowly, move your body, be in it. Respect the sun and use it. Support your skin from within, and the rest tends to follow.
