[…] If you’d like to support a traditional Palestinian industry – consider purchasing the fine, hand-made soap of Nablus. The Nablus soap-making tradition goes back to Biblical times – to learn more read my article on Ancient Mesopotamia […]

In reply to Juliet.

Juliet – why not buy some soap from ‘Ancient Mesopotamia’ and see if you like it. They use only natural ingredients. Basically olive oil or juniper oil or pistachio oil and then water and sodium. That’s it. People with very sensitive skins have reported amazing improvements in the health of their skin. Even chronic eczema sufferers have reported reduction in inflammation and ‘calmer’ skin.

I came across this a little while ago – natural soaps made by refugee women in Iraq.

It’s something that people can do with minimal equipment to provide an income.
I haven’t bought any yet, as they only seem to sell in the U.S. at the moment.

Thank you so much Mary Lou – I’d forgotten how inspirational I find the Middle East. The Palestinian people I’ve met are completely charming and so kind!

I’ve used olive oil soaps and must say they are unique. Glad to see you’ve found some that are good for the people of the region as well as the people who buy them. Thank you for the background history as well.

Well done, Janet – as interesting and stimulating as ever – and effective, too (see my last copy email to http://www.ancientmesopotamiagifts.com!)

I’m still trying to catch up on the arrears of emails awaiting our return from4 days away over the Easter Break; Thornton Dale is lovely, but with no Broadband, and very dicey reception both for Internet and Mobile Phone, I was totally e-mail-less for 4 days, with the consequent catch-up pressure now in my In-tray!

So will plough on, and be back in touch anon; but I did just want to thank you in the meantime.

Luv ‘n stuff

John
