From Harmful to Harmony: 8 Steps To An Allergy-Free Home

April 8, 2009 - 11:11am 239 reads 0 comments

Once you've begun to detox your body by following my 5 Steps to Allergy-Free Personal Care, it's time to focus on where you live. Everyone wants their home to be a haven — but your house could unintentionally be causing your health problems!

Creating a non-toxic home environment isn't difficult, and it will significantly enhance your health and well-being. You may soon say "so long" to those annoying allergy symptoms, no matter what the season. Just follow these simple suggestions:

Read product labels. Look for "free of perfumes and dyes" when buying household cleansers and laundry detergents. Clean has no smell! A scent-free product will do the job just as well — and not give off noxious vapors that will be inhaled or absorbed through your skin. Be aware that the fragrance-free version of conventional products can still have a strong smell due to the chemicals used to remove the fragrance; this is especially true of laundry products.
