Are you polluting the air in your home? The Dangers in Fragrance Products.
Are you polluting the air in your home?
It is important to be aware of the chemical composition of products that into the air in your home, car or office. Many commercial products contain ingredients which are not organic or natural. You may be alarmed to discover many of these products may contain toxins that can cause metabolic disruption and predispose you to certain illnesses. This is why it is important to replace these chemicals with safe, natural options and to read labels so you are aware of the ingredients you are exposing yourself to.
Traditional air fresheners can be detrimental to those with respiratory illnesses such as asthma, COPD and emphysema. Candles can also contain chemicals which are known to damage the human body and cause cancer. Exposure to these chemicals has also been linked to lung and central nervous system damage and have been a precursor to developmental difficulties in children.

The University of Michigan released a study that revealed 30% of candles contained lead. When lit, these candles emit toxins into the air and we inhale them. Our lungs can easily become damaged when exposed to led, so the safety of lead containing candles is definitely questionable.
These toxic products can be easily replaced with natural solutions such as a homemade aerosol spray containing natural ingredients such as essential oils and witch hazel. Diffusing essential oils is a much safer alternative that will eliminate exposure to chemically laced candles that can irritate the respiratory system. You can replace traditional candles and aerosol sprays with safe, organic options. Please see our recipe section for natural recipes to help you eliminate toxic exposure in your home.
