Essential oil powered cleaners to help rid your home of toxins and hormone disrupting chemicals

When I talk about detox I'm not talking about a liquid diet, or trying to recover from a hangover. I'm referring to getting rid of toxins that are hiding in our day to day products.

Are you someone that struggles with headaches? Do you have a child with ADHD or ADD? Are seasonal allergies a constant battle at your house? These are all reasons why I personally elected to remove as many toxins from our home as I could. This included candles, plugins, cleaners with unhealthy ingredients, processed foods…as much as I could do. Because at the time my son was really struggling with his ADHD, and I was desperate to help him. This area of toxic cleaners is one of the things that made a difference for us.

If you've been with me awhile, you know about the dangers of the word “fragrance” when it's added to labels of household products. Companies are able to pile on all sorts of ingredients under the label of fragrance, & they don't have to disclose those ingredients because it's considered part of their “proprietary formula”.

Think about it. That dishwasher detergent. You wash your dishes with it, then you eat off those dishes, ingesting small amounts of what you washed them with.

Your laundry detergent that gives your clothes that “fresh linen scent” … that you proceed to breathe into your body as you wear your clothes all day.

There are some super simple swaps we can make with these products.
