Designer Linda Loudermilk — a pioneer in environmental fashion whose collection is available at a wide range of boutiques — says she uses eco-friendly fabrics exclusively and adds to the list such
exotic sustainable fibers as sea cell (a seaweed - based fiber), soy fiber * (extracted from the residue of soybeans used in the manufacture of tofu), and sasawashi (a linenlike blend of Japanese paper and kumazasa
herb with antibacterial properties that «can
heal a cut on your leg» — or so Loudermilk claims).
At the best Bahamian spas, hot and cold therapies are applied in plunge pools, tension - releasing techniques like body massages and facials are administered, and relaxing aromatherapy is used to soothe the senses while
exotic herbs and minerals serve as
healing balm.
