We all want our homes and environments to smell sweet and fresh, yet the use of artificial air fresheners, plug-ins, potpourri and scented candles is not the way forward; they are loaded with toxic ingredients and emit volatile organic compounds known as VOC’s into the air, which in turn are inhaled into our lungs and respiratory systems. VOC’s are highly toxic and responsible for headaches, dizziness, mood swings, fatigue, drowsiness, sore throats and impaired memory loss.
Constant long-term exposure to volatile compounds is thought to provoke hormonal imbalances, brain damage and certain cancers. To maintain a wonderfully fresh and fragrant home, set about creating one or more of my delicious room fragrances from fresh citrus fruits and herbs, or one of the beautiful essential oil recipes, which will fill your home with pure, uplifting, intoxicating, natural aromas.
