Clean out your pantry of toxic products on the dirty list

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date May 5, 2024

When we first started Formulating our Relief Lotion years ago in our kitchen, we quickly learned about all the toxic chemicals that were lurking around us in our home. We found them everywhere! But the biggest one for us was in our household cleaner that we were using to decontaminate our workspace.

Here’s what we threw away:

-Anything with SLS in it. This toxic ingredient is what makes soap foam or bubble- honestly, you can live without the bubbles.

Found in: Hand soaps, toothpaste, shampoo

-Household Cleaner. ALERT! (even the organic “clean” ones are toxic!

What we use instead:

Good old fashioned vinegar. I bought giant glass jar online, filled it with vinegar, and loaded it with orange peels from our garden for a nice fresh scent and let it steep. Then I got cute glass spray bottles– because keeping anything in plastic is just as bad.

And if you don’t feel like making your own, here’s company we love with great core values and actually non- toxic cleaning products: https://defunkify.com/

A note on Plastic:

We got rid of it all! Instead of leftover containers we use these. For plastic snack bags we use these, and instead of saran wrap we use these great beeswax reusable wraps.

and finally, here is the Dirty List we promised:

Grow your own hemp at home

Growing Hemp at home in your garden can be easy and so rewarding with a few simple steps.

How to:

First, choose a sunny spot in your garden or yard where the soil drains well and there is plenty of sun exposure. Then purchase some hemp seeds that are meant for planting. Next, sow the seeds about one-quarter inch deep into the soil and lightly tamp down around them. Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not soggy. As the seedlings emerge from the soil, thin out the weaker plants so that each plant has room to grow. Finally, wait for the hemp to mature before harvesting the stems and leaves for use in paper, textiles, oils, and other products.

Cultivating and growing hemp at home is a rewarding experience. If you’re looking for an exciting way to get involved in gardening, consider cultivating your own hemp at home. With the right know-how and materials, you can easily set up an indoor or outdoor environment that allows you to grow this amazing plant. Plus, it’s legal in many places – so there’s no need to worry about breaking any laws. Growing hemp is not only fun but also incredibly beneficial, since it offers an array of applications and uses from making food and medicine to creating fabric and fuel.

What Does it Mean for a Hemp Company to Be Sustainable?

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date April 5, 2024

As hemp-based products become increasingly popular, many companies are now making sustainability claims. But what does it mean for a hemp company to truly be sustainable? To understand this, we must consider the entire production process from seed to sale.

Seed Selection and Growth Processes

In order for a hemp company to be considered sustainable, they must select their seeds carefully. For example, if they use GMO seeds, they are not only destroying the genetic integrity of their crop but also compromising its nutritional value. So instead of using genetically modified seeds, look for companies that source organic or heirloom varieties as these are grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers and other toxic substances. Additionally, companies should commit to using sustainable farming practices that protect the soil and promote biodiversity. This includes using natural pest control methods such as crop rotation and companion planting rather than relying on toxic pesticides which can harm both people and the environment. At Dr. Milo, we have our product triple lab tested.

Processing Practices

The way in which hemp is processed is another key factor in determining whether a hemp company is truly sustainable. Companies should avoid any processes that involve harsh chemicals or solvents as these can contaminate their products with harmful toxins. Instead, look for companies that use gentle processing techniques such as cold pressing or steam distillation which preserve vital nutrients while maintaining product purity. Additionally, many companies now use CO2 extraction which allows them to extract cannabinoids without using any solvents at all! Here is our lovely hemp company: onda wellness hemp

Packaging Considerations

Finally, packaging is an often-overlooked aspect of sustainability when it comes to hemp-based products. Companies should strive to use packaging materials that are 100% recyclable or compostable so that customers can easily dispose of them responsibly when they’re done with them. At Dr. Milo, we use this wonderful company called eco-enclose. Additionally, packaging should never contain any plastics or other non-biodegradable materials as these will just end up polluting our waterways and landfills eventually if not disposed of properly.

When it comes to choosing a truly sustainable hemp company, there are several factors to consider from seed selection and growth processes through processing practices and packaging considerations. By taking all these elements into account, you can make an informed decision about which company best aligns with your values when it comes to sustainability. Doing so will ensure that you get the highest quality product while supporting a business that takes its environmental responsibilities seriously.

Understanding the Difference Between Cannabis and Hemp

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date March 20, 2024

The terms “cannabis” and “hemp” are often used interchangeably, but many people don’t understand the real difference between them. While both plants originate from the same species of plant, Cannabis sativa, they have very different uses and properties. They are more like Cousins. Cousin plants. Let’s take a closer look at how cannabis and hemp differ. Clue: There’s totally a difference.

The Legal Status of Cannabis vs Hemp

One of the biggest differences between cannabis and hemp is their legal status. In the United States, cannabis has been federally illegal since 1937, when it was added to the Marijuana Tax Act. On the other hand, hemp is federally legal in all 50 states as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC (the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis)- like our Topical Relief Lotion. As a result, hemp products such as CBD oil are widely available in stores across the US.

Chemical Profile of Cannabis vs Hemp

Cannabis plants contain over 500 different chemical compounds, including cannabinoids like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), terpenes, flavonoids, essential oils, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and more. What wonderful flowers! Hemp plants contain many of these same compounds but at much lower concentrations than those found in high-THC cannabis strains. That is why hemp is not considered psychoactive like cannabis; there simply isn’t enough THC present for it to produce any kind of mind-altering effect on users.

Uses for Cannabis vs Hemp

Cannabis is primarily used for recreational or medicinal purposes because of its high levels of THC; although some strains may also be used for therapeutic benefits due to their higher levels of CBD or other non-psychoactive compounds such as terpenes or flavonoids. On the other hand, hemp is primarily used for industrial purposes such as making paper, fabrics or rope due to its low levels of THC – although some people do use it medicinally because it does contain trace amounts of CBD which can provide therapeutic benefits without causing any kind of intoxication or euphoria.

While both cannabis and hemp come from the same species of plant – Cannabis sativa – they have very different uses and properties due to their varying chemical profiles and legal status. It’s important to understand this distinction before purchasing any kind of product derived from either one so that you know exactly what you’re getting into! By educating yourself about these two distinct varieties of Cannabis sativa, you can make an informed decision about which one best fits your needs – whether they be recreational or medicinal in nature.

An Overview of Hemp Sourcing and Products

Post author By Joni Mann
Post date February 20, 2024

Hemp is a versatile crop with a variety of uses. At Dr. Milo, we’ve seen the growth of the crop first hand over the years. From clothing to food, hemp has been used in a wide range of products for centuries. But with the recent legalization of hemp in many countries, the industry has experienced a surge in popularity. Here’s an overview of hemp sourcing and products that are available on the market today.

Hemp Sourcing

The first step in producing high-quality hemp products is finding a reliable source for hemp. It took us a while to find the amazing source we use now: Onda Oil . But depending on the product you’re trying to make, there are different types of hemp fiber that can be used to achieve different results. It’s important to find a supplier that can provide you with the best quality fiber so your product will be up to standard, and this takes time. When looking for a supplier, it’s also important to consider factors like cost and turnaround time so you know when your order will arrive and how much it will cost.

Hemp Products

Once you have sourced your hemp fiber, you can begin creating your product. There are countless ways that this versatile crop can be used to create useful items. For example, jungmaven brand is a company that we love at dr. milo hemp -that produces eco-friendly Hemp clothing made from 100% organic fibers that are ethically sourced from sustainable farms in America . Our Dr. Milo merch is made from jungmaven, and their hemp clothing is truly the best designed on the market.

Whether you’re looking for eco-friendly clothing or healthy food alternatives, there’s something out there for everyone. Check out our website at dr. milo hemp for more information about our range of sustainable, plant- based products.
