Does Garlic Work to Treat Scabies? Scabies is an extremely itchy skin condition and is caused by parasites that reside under the surface of skin. These parasites would also lay their eggs under the skin and increase the infestation to the other parts of the body. In the recent times, people have turned to natural medications for scabies. It has been proven that garlic is known to be highly effective to alleviate the symptoms associated with the condition.

There is a compound contained in garlic, known as "allicin", which is responsible for these properties.

Is Natural Latex Organic? Savvy Rest was the first organic mattress company in the U.S. to post organic certifications and independent test results on its website. We've always taken pains to explain clearly that although the raw materials of our mattress casing are certified organic, there has been no formal organic certification program for the latex itself.That has changed!The natural latex we receive from Cocolatex in Kerala, India, has been and always will continue to be the purest latex available in the world. Although their rubber trees have always been grown in compliance with organic standards, their rubber plantation is now also certified organic according to USDA standards. We are delighted with their achievement, as we know many people value objective evidence of certification. We're also pleased to see how fast worldwide interest in organic materials is progressing.
