Greetings and good day!
Sometimes we don’t think twice about the cleaners, disinfectants and laundry detergent that we use…and we should. There are 1,000’s of chemicals used in their manufacturing….and hardly any of them are even tested to be safe.
These chemicals can cause neurological problems, allergies, asthma, weakness in our immune system and an overloaded liver. And kidneys. Both works so very hard to get the crap out. How much better if we just don’t put them in?
What to get out of your home…ASAP!
Formaldehyde -There are over 9 billion pounds put out into the world every year. Considered a human carcinagen it can cause birth defects and genetic damage. Found in cleaning products, cosmetics and building materials. this dangerous additive can lead to: Skin reactions, heart palpitations, headaches, depression, joint pain and dizziness. Plus, difficulty sleeping as the liver will be stressed.
Dish Washing Detergents-Most contain Naphtha which is a chemical that affects the central nervous system. Chlorine is present also causing headaches, fatigue and burning eyes. Ammonia is a poison causing rashes, is a lung irritant and can cause severe eye damage. Mixed with bleach it’s deadly. Choose the Trader Joes brand-inexpensive and natural!
Air Fresheners-There is no reason to buy those plug in crap devices to create a better smelling room. Stay away from Febreze and Lysol. Seriously, you’re going to spray these poisons on your couch, your counters and your kid’s clothes? How simple to go to Amazon and buy some beautiful aroma therapy oils and products that smell like pine, ocean or coconut…with zero side effects and no chemical smell!
Furniture Polish: These have phenol and nitrobenzene as well as ingredients that are extremely toxic! They can cause shallow breathing, vomiting as well as heart, liver and kidney damage. Choose a simple wonderful natural lemon and oil polishes that does an outstanding job without aerosol and chemicals. Consider the health of your pet, too as they are dangerous for our furry loves!
Laundry Detergents-This is an important one as all of your clothes and bedding will be washed in these chemical/dye/fragrance formulas and all those chemicals will then absorb directly into your skin. Who needs it? Trader Joes has a wonderful and inexpensive option…best I’ve found. You can add oils for fragrance or theirs has lavender.
Dryer Sheets: Simple-you don’t need them, and the ammonia and synthetic fragrances are dangerous to your body.
Shampoo. Choose natural. There are SO many wonderful one without chemicals and dyes. I just custom ordered from a company called Prose.-I’ll keep you posted!
Deodorants: Most people who have body odor actually have a toxic colon in need of cleansing. If your liver and large intestine are clean you will not have odor. Under the arm is a sensitive area as so many of our lymph nodes live there creating a direct line of chemcials/dyes to our breast lymph nodes. Yes, there is a connection. Choose natural. Or better yet do a cleanse!
Toothpaste: Do you know that brands like Crest actually have a warning stating “do not swallow’ tell that to a 3-year-old learning to brush! Coconut oil helps to keep your teeth bright white and fresh. Trader Joe’s has a good brand and there are many natural option son Amazon that taste fabulous! Change it up for the better!
