The Daily Green Tip

Did you know that you could save as much as $180 by making your own health and beauty products? According to one study, that's how much the average woman spends in a year on cosmetics and personal care products.

Beyond the cost savings potential, though, natural health and beauty products — whether it's a dry skin treatment or a sunburn remedy — are often as effective as commercial products, but contain none of the preservatives or other suspect chemicals common in many off-the-shelf products.

Chance are you won't be able to replace every item in your medicine cabinet or beauty bag, but you may just find that DIY is a key to health and wellness.

For starters, try these 9 natural health and beauty recipes from the book, Grow Your Own Drugs.
