Go organic, to make sure that everything you put into your body is free of toxins in whatever form.
More and more consumers are making the shift to organic when it comes to fresh produce, food, and even non-food items. But what is the fuss about? What makes organic so much better than conventional, non-organic products? Before we dive into organic foods, let’s look at what non-organic foods can bring to the table.
What Am I Ingesting When I Eat Non-Organic Foods?
Non-organic foods contain an unbelievable range of chemicals and treatments that stay in the body and disrupt the normal function of the cells, creating great harm. These include:
Pesticides
Antibiotics
GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms)
Synthetic fertilisers
Sewage sludge
Irradiation
Genetic engineering
Drugs
Hormones
In other words… an array of toxins that degrade and break down the human body, eventually causing great damage.
Pesticides (chemicals created to kill insects, fungal pests, and weeds) alone are associated with higher risks of cancer and a host of other life-threatening diseases.
What Does 'Organic' Really Mean?
Today, with many products claiming to be organic, identifying genuine organic is very important, especially if you are consuming it for health reasons. Unless you see and buy products freshly harvested before your eyes, consumers must scrutinise product labels and certifications claiming to be organic.
Organic food is simply food without anything artificial, synthetic, chemical-filled, or genetically modified in its content. Organic foods are produced through farming practices that only use natural methods and substances. ‘Organic’ is not a loose term—it has a precise meaning.
Each country has an official organic certification stamp that vouches for the truthfulness of its content, nutritional value, and farming practices. If it does not say CERTIFIED ORGANIC, it isn’t.
About Organic Plant Foods
The demand for organic produce has grown after studies provided evidence of the higher nutritional value of organically produced food. Other studies have highlighted the damaging effects of artificial and chemical contents in food production—on consumers as well as the environment.
Speaking of the environment, organic farming also allows for recycling and contributes to biodiversity conservation. It’s not just about our health; it’s about the health of the planet. A strong planet means strong, life-giving produce.
We know that artificial herbicides and pesticides have harmful side effects. Reducing their use is a crucial step toward lowering the incidence of disease in our society and homes.
What Makes a Plant Food Certifiably Organic?
For fruits and vegetables, organic produce is grown without:
Genetic modification
Synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilisers
Ionising radiation
Sewage sludge
About Organic Animal Foods
Organic animal produce includes meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. Organic farmers must ensure their animals are raised exclusively on organic feed. Like us, animals that feed on organic foods are healthier and have a lower risk of disease.
Farmers also provide animals with access to the great outdoors, daylight, and natural elements. Animals must be allowed to graze freely on pastures. Cows, for example, must graze on fresh, quality grass for at least one-third of the time.
Producers are inspected regularly to ensure these practices are followed. The result? Healthy, happy animals living natural lives free of chemicals.
What Makes an Animal Food Certifiably Organic?
The animals must be raised completely free of:
Livestock feed additives
Antimicrobial drugs
Hormones
Artificial growth hormones and regulators
Antibiotics
GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms).

A Word on Organic Turmeric
The ingredients we use are 100% organic—this we absolutely guarantee. We live up to our promise to deliver all-natural remedies through health and nutrition.
No Thanks To Non-Organic Turmeric! Curcumin, one of Turmeric’s most active components, has an impressive and abundant list of health benefits. It’s an effective antioxidant that helps fight off free radicals, protecting healthy cells and boosting the body’s resilience to countless health problems.
Certified Organic Turmeric, which cannot legally be tampered with, will always retain its full curcumin content—on average, 3–5%. All our delicious, health-inspiring tea blends are packed with this golden compound.
How Do I Save Money When I Buy Organic?
It’s true that organic products are often more expensive due to labour-intensive farming practices. However, in the long run, the investment is worth it for those who value health.
You can save money by recognising that some conventionally grown produce is less risky. Foods like avocados, coconuts, bananas, and onions are not heavily sprayed with pesticides, whereas lettuce, tomatoes, and celery are. Root vegetables, like Turmeric and Ginger, absorb pesticides easily, so these should always be organic.
For produce that must be organic, remember you can spend a bit more now or a lot more later on medical bills caused by a body struggling with synthetic chemicals and toxins—your body will thank you!
