Aromatherapy First Aid Kit
We are all part of the great experiment.
We are considered the "guinea pig" generation and whether we like it or not we are all part of one giant petri dish of an experiment and we don't know it.
Why do you think that so many cosmetics and perfumes are launched prematurely only to be yanked from shelves months later only after allergies and adverse health side effects have been reported?
Consider this an intervention of our dependency on chemical based products for our day to day life.
Scary to admit it but there are hundreds of banned chemicals that still to this moment lace the household cleaners and cosmetics that we entrust our lives with each day.
We tend to associate poisons with the skull and crossbones yet with some of the products we use there's little difference. In fact if our hair care products and cosmetics displayed a skull and cross bones on its packaging would we be so quick to use them? I doubt it.
The United Kingdom has hundreds of banned chemicals on its hotlist, chemicals that are toxic to human health. Unfortunately, not all countries have joined the ranks in banning them and they still continue to be used.
That means that unless you know exactly what these harmful chemicals are that you'd continue to use them and be none the wiser.
Here are just some of the health side effects from being in contact with these chemicals, they range from increased sensitivity and new allergies, impaired fertility, central nervous system damage, inreased risk of Alzheimer's disease, increased potential cancer risk, breathing difficulties, brain tumors, coma and even death.
I always believe that knowledge is power. By knowing which banned chemicals are in products means that you can avoid using them in the future.
Don't wait for government regulation to intervene because so far it's failed and has continued to allow the use of these harmful chemicals in our everyday products. Nothing can ever substitute the power of knowledge when it comes to your own due diligence.
In the United States unfortunately, cosmetic companies don't have to disclose the ingredients of their products on their packaging so it means that you have to be more vigilant in your efforts to protect the health of you and your family.
There's never been a better time to go natural. We have become the "sensitive, allergic" generation and it's no wonder. With the amount of artificial chemicals that we come into contact with each day it's no surprise that we're becoming more allergic and sensitive than ever before.
In fact a chemical found in your average run of the mill hair dye contains what is known as a sensitizer. You may go blissfully unaware that this chemical is weakening your defences, making you more susceptible to allergies until it hits you one day and you suddenly can no longer dye your hair because you've suddenly developed an allergy towards it. Not only that, as a sensitizer you're left vulnerable to the effects of other chemicals that come into contact with your skin because a sensitizer facilitates the easy penetration of the skin allowing chemicals entry into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream these chemicals can come into contact with your internal organs such as your liver and your kidneys.

Impaired Development And Brain Function In Children
Reduced Fertility
Compromised Nervous System
Another example of harmful chemicals in our everyday household products is deoderants. Several deoderants on the market contain aluminum which is used for its anti-microbe properties, this is what essentially controls the level of odor that arises from the bacteria in perspiration. However aluminum in deodorant is toxic to the body and is harmful to the nervous system and is linked with Alzheimer's disease and possible cancer.
As human beings, we need to sweat, that's the whole purpose of our glands as drainage points, to remove toxins from our bodies, yet we're so obsessed with cheating this basic biological function. Blocking your glands with aluminum based products prevents sweating but it also prevents your body from properly draining impurities from your system. At times pores can become blocked and infected and it is suggested that there may be a link between gland blockage and breast cancer.
This doesn't mean that you have to go through life with sweaty armpits. There are natural remedies that can help combat sweating and odor naturally and the key is aromatherapy.
