Diva’s Detox Guide
Dr. Aumatma Shah
Dr. Aumatma Shah
I’ll be honest with you… When I was young, I remember having so
many hair and body products, along with make-up that I used that my
mom would always yell and tell me how bad it was. And yet, I pushed
on. It was more important for me to look good than it was to consider
the toxins. I was a teenager after all. But, by the time I made it to
medical school, I had become more aware and open… and before
long, I had cut out use of all products on my hair and body. This
was quite a drastic change. I had years of not wearing any make-up
or using any body care products. I pretty much had Dr. Bronner’s
and that’s it!
It was a couple of years ago though, that I was attending a *special*
event that I wanted to look amazing for. I went on a mega-hunt
for make-up that was doctor-approved and did the trick. After
many hours of hunting, I found something… Since then though, I
have continued wanting to use some products without feeling
guilty for toxi-fying my body and environment.
The more I work with couples on optimizing fertility, the more
important I feel it is to educate others on the use of these toxins
on our bodies. And, so, I decided to make it easier for people to
choose wisely. That is the birth of this list… I hope you find it
useful for finding alternatives for your body and home that fit your
needs. You can expect a little trial and error but I have found most
products in the list below to be astounding. The ones I have
personally used are quality products and do their job.
Introduction
Dr. Aumatma Shah
So… go on! Experiment, play, and look/feel
AMAZING-without sacrificing your health!
How to use this list: If you are looking for a particular type of product (i.e shampoo), you can scroll
down and find a list of companies under that. In the parenthesis, you will find
some stores that might carry this product/ brand. Also, for most companies,
you can order online these days… so if you can’t find something you want in
a store, check online.
Some of the crowd favorite companies for looking great: The Healing Place Apothecary

Nail Polishes:
100 percent Pure
PS Polish
There is no such thing as completely natural nail polish. The next best option is to
go with semi-natural/ less toxic nail polish, if you choose to use it at all. There are
a few ingredients in almost all conventional nail polish that you need to watch out
for. AND, these ingredients actually have a harsh effect on fertility so they are
important to pay attention to.
Toluene: Known to impact the central nervous system,
Can harm the reproductive system,
Also causes irritation of the eyes, throat, and lungs
Formaldehyde: Known to be an irritant to the eyes, nose and throat; a respiratory irritant that
may cause asthma
Skin rashes
Cancer
And decreased fertility
Dibutyl phthalates: can cause thyroid dysfunction
linked to reproductive challenges
may decrease sperm counts in adult men

What about Feminine Products?
For Pads and Tampons:
Switch to unscented/fragrance free
Look for unbleached or chlorine-free tampons and pads!
Go organic
Alternatives, healthy for you and the planet:
Menstrual Cup (My favorite is FemmyCycle but DivaCups are pretty
popular) and Cloth Pads instead.
Thinx-Period Proof underwear (get $10)
A little note on Air fresheners: You care about your home and car smelling good, right? But most air fresheners are full of toxins. My favorite thing to do is buy some essential oils, put a few drops in a glass spray bottle with distilled water, and voila! Air freshener at your service! I also found this interesting company that is making an air freshener spray… they are suggesting that getting probiotics in to your environment will make things so fresh and clean. If you want, you can check them out here:

Honestly, the list of chemicals can get quite long…. My rule of thumb is if it
looks like a chemical name (notice the patterns above) or if it is not a name you
can pronounce, be weary of using it.
Common Toxins
Dr. Aumatma Shah
Non-toxic home
And, caring for your body is just as important as caring for your home. It’s
pretty important to watch out for the chemicals in your cleaning products also.
Some good companies are:
BioKleen
Seventh Generation
Meyer’s This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but it’s a place to start – and
understand what to look for on labels.
What you should know
Method (and probably some other similar companies) promote “all natural” on
their labels but if you actually read the labels, it’s anything but natural! Matter
of fact, it’s almost equivalent to all the toxic cleaning products out there. So,
don’t fall into that trap.
Non-toxic Home
Dr. Aumatma Shah
Make your own home-cleaning and body-care products! Another option is
to make your own non-toxic products from inexpensive things like vinegar
and baking soda. You can find some recipes at: www.womensvoices.org
Other home-ly advice to living toxin-free:
Go BPA-free:
Plastic bottles (water)
Eliminate the canned food – it’s lined with BPA!
Use glass containers, bowls, and jars … nix the plastic! And especially do not microwave your food in plastic containers.
Your cookware:
You know those non-stick pans you use? They are going to leach aluminum
into your food. So, use cast iron (the uncoated kind) or stainless steel for
all you’re cooking!
Watch out for triclosan : avoid anti-bacterial hand soaps that contain this
hormone disruptor and scrap disinfectant products that use it also.
Healthy Home-Making

Ever heard of microbeads? Microbeads are tiny particles of plastic that are in everyday products such as body
scrubs, soaps, toothpaste, and more. Obviously, we have talked about the need
to remove plastics from your home and environment. But, I bet you never
considered that there might be plastic in your body care products! So, these tiny
little plastic particles sneak their way in. And… not only are the bad for your
body, they are also bad for the environment.
Facts on Microbeads: Six microbeads would fit across the thin edge of a penny.
A single product can contain more than 350, 000 microbeads, and a single
application of one of these products can release 100,000 microbeads into
the environment.
Microbeads contribute to 38 tons of plastic pollution annually in
California.
That’s 38 tons of plastic pollution just in California!! After being released into the environment, they make their way into the oceans, where they are
consumed by fish that then make their way into our bodies. So, in the end, we
really are harming and polluting our own bodies…
Microbeads
Dr. Aumatma Shah
stop using products with microbeads.
Instead, natural scrubs that are
sugar and salt based are better for yu
and the environment.
Microbeads

Below you will find a variety of products with their ingredient information. The purpose of the following is to have you train your
eyes on what to look for… After you read enough labels, it will be easy to tell whether the products are okay for use on your body or in
your home…. or not! See if you can make observations about the
labels and their ingredients…

Non Natural Toxic Ingredients
Dr. Aumatma Shah
A Few Last Words from Dr.
Aumatma…
I know that this information is sometimes overwhelming and may even be a bit
scary. BUT, just take it one step at a time…
First:
Take your time detoxifying your body and home of these toxic
products – you can start with the ones you use the most and go
one by one till you’ve got them all.
And, know, that they will not only support your fertility, but in
a way you will be supporting the health of your child and the
next seven generations.
Then… If you’re on the path to having a baby, seek help and support
from someone who can help customize a program to what you
need!
And, if you need any support, I’m always here for you!
May nature help you heal…
Warmly,
