Toxins in air fresheners and other household items causing indoor air pollution.

Things to Avoid

Air fresheners, cologne or perfumes (see below for natural perfumes), hairsprays, keratin, and hair color, also breathing in lacquer or other chemical furniture paint or polish, typical cleaning products bleach ammonia, nail polish, and nail polish remover, dryer sheets, bug sprays, cooking in non-stick pans especially PTFE or Teflon. And If you have to use any of those be sure to do it in a well-ventilated space or outdoors. Many of these even imbalance your hormones worsening adrenal fatigue 

What are the Solutions to all of these air pollutants?

Solutions are – Air purifiers, Diffusers, Bamboo Charcoal bags, Salt Lamps & Certain Plants 

– Air Purifiers

– Diffusers with Essential Oils

These do not purify the air just replace air fresheners or perfumes. Some essential oils kill germs though. There are many to start with, A diffuser with essential oils. My favorite to diffuse are peppermint, lemon, frankincense and of course lavender.

Bamboo charcoal bags remove pollutants and allergens but they also dehumidify absorbing moisture, preventing mold and mildew. They have scientifically proven to reduce the amount of formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, and chloroform gases emitted from everyday items such as paint, carpeting, furniture, air fresheners, chemical cleaners, rubber, and plastics.

They are safe for pets and children. The bamboo charcoal rejuvenates when the bags are placed in sunlight once a month and are good for two years, then can be put in the garden. They’re also great for your car and bathroom.

– Salt Lamps

Salt lamps are another natural way to clean indoor air.

The orange color doesn’t disrupt sleep hormones like fluorescent or blue lights

– Plants

– Another great solution is indoor plants Here are some great ones:

• Aloe Vera (also great for burns)
• Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) – Very resilient and it produces runners (smaller plants) that can be transplanted.
• Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Laurentii’) Also called “Mother in Law’s Tongue” – “This plant is one of the best for filtering out formaldehyde, which is common in cleaning products, toilet paper, tissues and personal care products. Put one in your bathroom — it’ll thrive with low light and steamy humid conditions while helping filter out air pollutants.” [source]
• Dracena (Dracaena deremensis ‘Warneckii’) – Also known as Corn Plant , this plant can reach a potential height of 12 feet. “Best for removing xylene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde, which can be introduced to indoor air through lacquers, varnishes and gasoline.” [source]
• Christmas Cactus- Great at cleaning the air, and colorful too.
• Boston Fern- Easy to grow, good at filtering the air, and resilient.
• Bromeliads – Tropical looking and colorful – great at filtering the air
• Bamboo palm (Chamaedorea sefritzii) “Also known as the reed palm, this small palm thrives in shady indoor spaces and often produces flowers and small berries. It tops the list of plants best for filtering out both benzene and trichloroethylene. They’re also a good choice for placing around furniture that could be off-gassing formaldehyde.” [source]
