Shailene Woodley Makes Her Own Toothpaste, Medicine

Actors are weird. Take Shailene Woodley for example. She tells Flaunt that her entire lifestyle is alternative and that everything she uses is all natural and made by herself down to the medicine she takes.

“I think everything about my lifestyle is fairly alternative. I gather my own spring water from mountains every month. I go to a farm to get my food. I make everything from my own toothpaste to my own body lotions and face oils,” she laughs at the long list. “I could go on for hours. I make my own medicines; I don’t get those from doctors. I make my own cheese and forage wild foods and identify wild plants. It’s an entire lifestyle. It’s appealing to my soul.”

Hold on. She makes her own medicine? Like, when she gets an infection, she makes her own penicillin? That’s pretty hardcore. Does she also make her own tetanus shots for when she gets bitten by a rabid wolverine when she’s collecting spring water from the mountains or when a nail pierces through her hemp sandals? Because I’ve yet to read about the effectiveness of chewed tree bark for the treatment of rabies. I guess I should wait for next month’s medical journal.
