We're cooped up in our homes, we're worried about our health, so now is the perfect time to look around your home and start checking labels.
I know that sounds silly, but just hear me out. There are so many toxins in our homes - it's seriously scary! These are things I didn't know or even think about pre-doTERRA. As I slowly shifted to natural solutions and ditched the toxin-filled products for doTERRA's natural solutions in all areas of our home I started realizing the toll that those other products (that I'd used my whole life, by the way) had caused my poor body.
For example, I LOVED Bath and Body Works. I mean the lotions, potions, body sprays, soaps, candles, air fresheners...everything. It was my go-to place for gifts, and I was a sucker for their deals. Sadly, one morning, my favorite body mist smelled like pure alcohol. Ewe! I thought something had gone wrong with my sniffer. I took a day off and tried again - ewe, alcohol! I took a few days off and tried again - ewe, alcohol! What in the world is wrong with me!?! Then it hit me! I had detoxed without knowing it and now what used to appeal to my senses, simply didn't.
The same was true for my candles, my cleaners, perfume, soap and more. I shared my issues with my new found doTERRA community and they re-explained to me (because I'd already learned it in the class I went to) that the majority of our household products are filled with toxins. Did you know that there are thousands of chemicals used to provide scent in our day-to-day products? Sadly, they all hide behind the word "fragrance." Fragrance is considered a companies "secret," so they don't have to disclose the numerous chemicals that make up its scent.
What's even more sad is that those chemicals are linked to chronic health issues, like migraines, respiratory problems, autoimmune diseases and even cancer. In the United States there are well over 1,200 fragrance chemicals that have been flagged as concerns. In the EU at least 15 of them have been banned from use. Even here in the US, California passed a law where companies have to disclose with a "WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm." I seriously just saw this on a "natural" brand toothpaste when I was doing research for an online class I was teaching.
Guess what, the average American woman uses 10+ products per day that contain "fragrance." Do you see why I'm suggesting that you take this time to look at your labels? I want to challenge you, to really reevaluate the products you're using and have brought into your home. When we know better, we do better, right? While I'm not suggesting that you throw out every product and spend $1000's replacing them, I would purpose making a plan. What products are you willing to swap out when they run out? Determine your budget, this isn't about spending extra - it's about shifting what you're buying. You're already spending money on these products whether you're getting natural solutions or the unfortunate toxin-filled products. So why not buy your goods from a reputable company that you already know, like and trust?
