Our Scary, Chemical World
Learning that we are surrounded by ubiquitous, harmful chemicals is enough to scare the health out of anyone. These hazardous environmental exposures are associated with various chronic diseases and dysfunctions including cancer, reproductive issues, metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, mood imbalances, and more.
No matter how careful we are, we cannot escape these toxins. They are in our food, water, cleaning products, and consumer goods. These compounds persist in our body and accumulate. This means that many are suffering from the side effects of unregulated exposures, whether they know it or not. These substances are an under-recognized and underestimated contributor to global economic and medical burdens.
Thankfully, there are natural solutions to mitigate these unwanted hazardous impacts, but we must be aware of the problem first. For example, we may try to keep our home clean to prevent allergens and microbes from robbing our health, but conventional sanitizing products can trump our desire for a healthy body and environment.
Essential Oils: Enhancers of Health and Defenders from Harm
In my previous post, we discussed how essential oils possess biochemical properties that can safeguard us against the effects of toxins. This is based on their multiple mechanisms. These include their ability to:
- modulate inflammation
- balance hormones and neurotransmitters
- influence the stress response
- support mood
- ward off microbes
- assist with digestion and elimination and a healthy microbiome
- act as cellular protectors (antioxidants)
In my latest video blog, I review another way essential oils can protect and defend us from chemical overload. Specifically, I highlight how to safely keep your home clean and boost your health through incorporating these aromatic allies into your sanitizing products.
Topics include:
- The dangers of living in a chemical world
