Healthy Home, Healthy You

Posted in Health Hazards, Lifestyle by Anne

Did you know that being hyvin (well) is related to the cleaning products that you use in your home? I’ve known for some time that I’m sensitive to the chemicals in traditional cleaning products and that for me to be well, I have to use natural cleaners. But I’ve only recently discovered that the link between poor health and common cleaning product chemicals is widespread, and well documented!

Want some proof? I’ve just learned about this great resource, the National Institutes of Health Library of Medicine Household Products Database. What a mouthful! But what you’ll read there is a real eyeful! You can search almost any brand of cleaner you may use, or the ingredients found in the cleaners under your sink, and learn about the dangerous health effects. I looked under “Health Studies” for a couple of common household product ingredients and was shocked by what I found!

We do NOT have to expose ourselves to this toxic brew and live in a toxic, unhealthy home. And we do NOT have to compromise on cleaning product performance to get the job done with natural, safe alternatives. Are you surprised? I was. But trying is believing, as they say :-) .
