Fragrance - The toxins hiding in our homes, negatively affecting our Family's health

It's only natural to try and eliminate unattractive odours from our environment and to seek out pleasant smells. But in doing so we could be putting our family's health at risk.

What could be wrong with a beautiful fragrance?

Nothing, if it's a wildcrafted, authentic plant derived or organic essential oil, processed without solvents. These pure essential oils have been effectively used for fragrance throughout history.

But instead of being therapeutic or medicinal, today's synthetic fragrances are the new second hand smoke!  A University of Bergen in Norway study shows "Cleaners who have regularly used cleaning sprays over 20 years were found to have reduced lung function equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes a day over the same period"

That's because we now use synthetic chemicals to produce fragrances.  More than 95 percent of these synthetic chemicals are derived from petrochemicals. These particular ingredients are known carcinogens (cause cancer),  obesogens (cause weight gain and metabolic disorders), neurotoxins (cause nervous system disorders), asthmagens (cause asthma), endocrine disruptors, and cause allergies and birth defects. To make matters even worse, many products labeled as “unscented” are the fragranced product with the addition of another masking fragrance.

Synthetic fragrance exposure is hazardous to our health.  Simply cleaning our home's, washing our clothes or using air freshener will not only affect our own health, but the health of our loved ones who share our homes air with us.
