8 WAYS TO REDUCE THE TOXINS IN YOUR HOME!

This week has seen me really want to take charge of the toxin levels in my home. We have very little/no control over the toxins outside, but with a fresh set of eyes, it is very easy and cost effective to change what we use inside.

By removing toxins from your home, you are supporting your body and therefore your mind to be healthier, happier, to give you more energy and look forwards to each day!

Most of us spend 80% of our time indoors! and that air is 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air?! This is due to the chemicals through products and furnishings.

So lets start with some quick and easy ways you can reduce that!

You will need:

3 spray bottles

vinegar

borax

baking soda

rubbing alcohol

olive oil

kosher salt

water

On-Guard Cleaner Concentrate

Purify Essential Oil

Lemon Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil

Tea Tree Essential Oil

Arborvitae Essential Oil

Wild Orange Essential Oil

Toxins are external and internal substances that disrupt our homeostasis, placing extra stress on various body systems to clean and clear them. A build up of toxins effects our nervous system. respiratory system as well as leading to all forms of illnesses, some serious as well as minor such as allergies.
