Soap nuts are a natural, biodegradable, and petroleum-free laundry soap alternative. They grow on trees in Nepal and India, but they’re not nuts; they’re actually a fruit. You might also see them sold as soapberries. The tree itself is from the genus Sapindus. Common Use: Add four or five of them, in a small cloth bag, to a load of dirty laundry. You can reuse that pouch of soap nuts for a few loads.

Description

Organic Soap Berry Nuts

Soap berry nuts, commonly called soap nuts or soapberries, are dried fruit shells from trees in the Sapindus genus. When agitated in water, the shells release naturally occurring saponins that create a mild washing action. This 200 g organic product is packaged by YumNaturals Emporium in a paper bag.

How to use soap berries for laundry

Place approximately four or five soap berries in a small reusable cloth bag and add the bag directly to the washing machine with your laundry. The same berries can generally be reused for several loads while they continue to release their natural soap-like compounds.

Remove the pouch after washing and allow it to dry between uses.

Making a simple soap-berry liquid

Soap berries can also be simmered in water to prepare a simple liquid washing solution. Because a homemade water-based preparation does not contain conventional preservatives, prepare modest quantities, keep the finished liquid refrigerated and discard it if its appearance or odour changes.

A small yummy connection

YUM ↔ YAM — Anahata, the heart chakra, is traditionally represented by a twelve-petaled lotus and associated with the seed mantra YAM (yam). YUM and YAM are not the same word, but the sound echo offers a fitting little connection to heart, nature and community.

A gentle synthesized meditation drone to accompany the spoken YAM mantra; not a traditional fixed chakra frequency.
