Increases in temperature and humidity encountered most frequently during the summer months can develop uncomfortable skin rash and also Intertrigo (intertriginous dermatitis) that is an inflammatory rash that occurs between skin folds—areas of the body where skin touches skin, such as the armpits, the groin, under breasts, or within fat folds—as a result of friction, moisture, and lack of airflow. Because these folds are warm and moist, they provide ideal conditions for Candida albicans (yeast), other fungi, or bacteria to take hold, infecting the rash and worsening symptoms. Patches of redness on babies can also be connected with the development of candidiasis of the skin, especially on the buttocks. A diaper tends to provide an ideal environment for Candida.

Activities such as bicycle riding or running, which produce repetitive movements, produce frictional forces which may injure the skin. Men are predisposed to intertrigo of the groin because of the occlusion produced by the male external genitalia.

Probiotics offer a Safe and Natural remedy to help on this kind of skin condition. Probiotics can also be used as a natural body odor control; body hitching relives and natural anti-fungal and cooler.

Apply Probiotics undiluted with a spray bottle to the skin area that you need to treat. It will relive and alleviate the skin condition.

For bathing, add 30 ml. of Probiotics for every liter of water, on a full body bath for adult and baby, or foot bath, or hand bath, etc. The natural fermented odor of the Probiotics vanishes after the application on your body.

Available in Probiotics House in Reve opposite to Aroma Garden in Auzolan compound. Please bring your clean bottles.

WHAT MORE YOU WOULD WANT OUT OF A PACKAGE?

GLASS IS PURE. Glass is made of all-natural, sustainable raw materials. It is one of the widely preferred packaging materials, as it does not involve any health hazards and is also environment friendly.

Glass is the only packaging material rated “GRAS” or “generally regarded as safe” by the US Food & Drug Administration.

GLASS IS 100% RECICLABLE and can be recycled endlessly with no loss in quality or purity. Glass recycling is a closed loop system, creating no additional waste or by-products. Glass is a mono-material, meaning it is not made up of several different materials.

GLASS IS SUSTAINABLE. Recycling glass reduces consumption of raw materials and saves energy. Recycling one glass bottle saves enough energy to power a 60-watt bulb for 4 hours, a computer for 30 minutes or a television for 20 minutes.

GLASS RECYCLING BENEFITS. Every 10% increase in recycled glass is equal to:

• 10% decrease in sulphur dioxide (SO2)
• 6% decrease in nitrogen oxide (NOx)
• 17% reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2)
• 2.5% reduction in electricity and natural gas

We, in MGEcoduties – PROBIOTICS HOUSE, have changed the packaging of our products that we were using for PROBIOTICA DRINK SUPPLEMENT and for PET SUPPLEMENT. Now you find them in glass jars. Additionally, our new product “TOOTH POWDER” is packaged in a hexagonal glass jar, and you can get it in PROBIOTICS HOUSE – REVE and in PTDC.

GLASS IS SAFE FOR YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT!

BREAKING THE HABIT!

What is the hardest thing to break?

Surprisingly The answer is: HABIT!

If you break the H, you still have A BIT.

If you break the A, you still have BIT.

If you break the B, you still have IT!  

Even after you break the T in IT, there is still the ‘I’.

And that (I) is the root cause of all the problems!…

Yeah, we know about HABIT, like after years using X or Y soap/shampoo/cleaner, etc., all is wonderful for me, or my wife, or my husband, or my children, or my parents, or my great parents, or my mother in-law, or my father in-law, or my amma, or my gardener, or my watchman, or my boss, or my assistance, or my guests, or my manager, or our Executives, or my neighbour, or my…God knows!

Also, we know, that was a moment that we did put in a side of a Scale Of Justice the HABIT (along with plastic + phosphates + parabens + additives + preservatives + palm oil + sodium lauryl sulphate + triclosan + chlorine + phenol + TV propaganda + newspaper propaganda + radio propaganda + price + more…), and in the other side of the Scale Of Justice the HEALTH OF OUR PLANET (along with sustainability + environment + eco-friendly + zero waste + bio-degradable + recycling + reusing + reducing + decreasing + lowest price + more…); and that moments were not easy, as the HABIT side of the scale was the heavy one.

But our Planet, our India, our Tamil Nadu, our Pondicherry, our Auroville (the City that the Earth Needs), our villages, our communities, our wastewater treatment plants, our septic systems, our water sources, our buildings, our pipes, our animals, our children next generation, ourselves, our landfill, our ocean; know that (OUR) is the option to the (I) option.

Years ago, we did not have much options to break the HABIT, but today we have options. Now, all what matter is YOU and your HABIT!

Join is, share with us, be a game changer, be a HABIT breaker.

ORCHIDS LOVERS

Around 15 years ago, Auronevi and me (Margarita) tried to do an organic food for Orchids. As you all know, Auronevi has lots of knowledge and passion for Orchids, and was looking for a natural feeding that was opposite to the common practice of Urea and MOP (Muriate of Potash), that produce lots of corrosion, to keep the Orchids beautiful and happy. Certainly, we did try many ways, even since that time both of was were doing good production of Vermicompost and Vermiwash, but these inputs plus all the Probiotics herbal concoctions were not enough for the Orchids.

Few years later, around 2009, Auronevi started the Orchids section in Auroville Botanical Gardens and we did try again with some results. By that time, I joined the Matrimandir Gardens work and also, we started to change the MM Gardens and Nursery inputs for organic and natural ones. The Orchids reacted well to the feeding with Panchagavya and a new probiotics formulation.

After Auronevi left Botanical gardens, Nathalie (Certitude) continued the Orchids work, and we did work together in the natural feeding system. In the other hand, till today, we continuous without stopping in MM Nursery. But Panchagavya has some problems due to the strong smell, that Orchids lovers do not like.

And then, Loretta arrived with the same question: what to give to the Orchids? At the time Loretta made the question, I (Margarita), has around 18 years trying to give to Orchids Lovers, Rose Lovers and in general Flower Lovers, natural and organic inputs that are easy to apply and not smell.

And today you can see how specially the Orchids react and love it. It is called “ORCHIDS BOOSTER”. Just you see Loretta’s Orchids, or Auronevi, or Nathalie, or MM Nursery and you are amazed. More and more Orchids Lovers come to our place in Probiotics House – Reve, to learn and get the inputs required to feed the beautiful flowers with 100% natural and organic inputs “without smell”.

If you want to change the chemical fertilizers you feed to your Orchids, visit us, ask for “ORCHIDS BOOSTER” and will see how natural and easy it is!
