Chemical-Free Room Freshners

The fragrances that you find in products in stores may smell nice, BUT look closer, an average of 10 chemicals linked with allergic reactions such as headaches, wheezing, or asthma. The researchers found 12 different chemicals they describe as potentially hormone-disrupting, such as benzyl benzoate, diethyl phthalate, and tonalide.

·         Diffuse orange or rosemary into the air with a nebulizer or homemade reed diffuser.

·         Put a couple of drops of peppermint, pine, cinnamon, or clove on the cardboard in your toilet paper roll and you will freshen up the bathroom for days.

Consider using unscented detergents, cleaners, shampoos, and conditioners, pump hand soaps, etc.

·         Add a few drops of clary sage, cedar wood, lavender, or Roman Chamomile to an unscented hair product;

·         rosemary, or tea tree to an unscented detergent;

·         lemon to your window cleaner (good ol’ inexpensive vinegar and water);

Not only will the oils make the products smell wonderful, you will now be benefiting from the aroma therapeutic properties of the oils too.

A personal favorite Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Soap. It works well as a shampoo, body wash, and in my hand soap foamer. I simply divide the soap up for the various uses and then add my favorite essential oils.
