Some of you may have heard this… “women who do NOT work outside the home are 54% more likely to get cancer than those who work outside of their home.” This statistic makes me wonder… what are the numbers on “other” common conditions of today. Anyway you slice it, it’s not good.
This is a BIG wake-up call! It’s telling us very clearly that the personal care and cleaning products we bring into our homes and use are having a huge impact on our health. Imagine what it’s also doing to the health of our kids and pets!
Home pollutants can be broken down into three basic categories:
1. Small airborne particles. Lint, dust mites, human skin, pet dander, and mold spores. The danger with these is that their size enables them to get into our lungs, where they lodge themselves too deep to be coughed up.
2. Biological. These are bacteria and viruses which attach themselves to “airborne particles,” increasing the likelihood of lung infections. Mold is also in this category and, despite popular belief, mold is common even in dry climates because indoor humidity can be high even if outdoor air humidity is low.
3. Products. These include the products we “bring” into our homes in an attempt to improve the look and smell, and perform other actions (such as laundry and dryer sheets). Dryer sheets actually put petroleum and potentially dangerous artificial fragrances on clothes, and air fresheners also contain these fragrances, which may interfere with hormone communication systems. Learn how diffusing therapeutic grade essential oils can clear odors, germs, and make your house smell amazing!
Laundry washed in detergent loaded with chemicals and fragrance chemicals (YES, those brands claiming they’re all-natural with essential oils are not even real essential oils, they ARE fragrances and this is deceptive advertising due to the lack of government regulation). Then people run around in these clothes and sweat, which helps the toxicity absorb into the skin and bloodstream where it promotes cancer.
As consumers we need to start reading the ingredients in these products. Take a look at some better alternatives. http://realsuccess.healthyhometour.com/
