Which green products are safe to use after a kidney transplant?


question

My boyfriend had a kidney transplant a few years ago. I want to try to get him to use more natural products - shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant - but even if they are natural will they still be ok for him? I know things containing essential oils or even using essential oils are not good as they are not suitable for people with kidney problems. Can you recommend anything for him to use in place of his commercial buy-at-the-supermarket brands?

answer

I'd need to research further, there are contra-indications with essential oils of course. Check out the ranges for men from Laverna, Green People and Sante - sante and logana form www.avea.co.uk

I hope you find what you need. I'd be interested to know. In the book I wax lyrical about coconut oil - no essential oils there and a pretty much all-purpose moisturiser/hair conditioner.
