In this day and age, toxins are EVERYWHERE. (I’ve heard it go by that we are exposed to more toxins before breakfast than our great grandparents were in their lifetime!) However, we CAN reduce our exposure to toxins with simple solutions, even while living in a very toxic world. Many solutions are very easy to incorporate into daily living. (You won’t have to start looking and smelling like a freak, don’t worry!) And as more and more people become aware of their toxic load and want to do something about it, it’s easier (and cheaper) to find non-toxic solutions.
Essential oils make up a good part of my natural solutions arsenal, but they aren’t the ONLY things I use. Even when I do use other products, however, often essential oils work well in combination with those other products to double their effectiveness or increase their benefits.
