It's essential oils or nothing for me. My favorites are patchouli, amyris, spikenard, cedar wood, and ylang ylang. Historically, these were used to embalm mummies, anoint soldiers, relieve stress, and ward off infection. Alas, they’re expensive and often hard to find, therefore, the chemical industry has spawned some synthetic alternatives from petroleum.
Dirt cheap and available everywhere, petroleum-based air fresheners can cover up the stench in your car, bathroom, and gym...but that the same time, lower your testosterone and putting you at greater risk for infertility and cancer.
But all of this has been hidden from the consumer...
Consumers have been misled into believing air fresheners are made from “natural” essential oils extracted from grasses, flowers, wood, spices, fruit, resins, roots, gums, or leaves. Nothing could be further from the truth. They come from chemists.
“Fragrance chemists” are scientists who use petroleum as the molecular foundation for air freshener products. Through processes known as “catalytic reforming” and “thermal cracking,” air fresheners are cheaply created out of petrochemical waste compounds.
To avoid the chemical onslaught, avoid all products that have “fragrance” on the label. By using that vague word, manufacturers can legally sneak 100s of hazardous, synthetic chemicals into your home. They attack you and your unsuspecting family, especially your kids, whose bodies are still developing. Since most scented plug-in oil warmers are made of 90-100% fragrance, rest assured you’re getting a heated petro-porridge, rather than a natural fresh scent. And it becomes addictive.
There’s a reason why drug addicts snort cocaine rather than eat it. The nose is the fastest and most direct route into the body, especially the brain. On average, we breathe in and out 20,000 cycles each day. In a room full of artificial “natural scents,” each breath delivers a chemical assault to the bloodstream within seconds.
When you inhale, sticky odor molecules travel through the nose. They go directly to receptor sites in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and the amygdala. These are the parts of the brain that control blood pressure, emotion, breathing, memory, heart rate, and hormone balance.
As you, your family, and your holiday guests merrily breathe in the enticing, fake scent of Glade’s Merry Citrus Melody oil—courtesy of warmer plug-ins—hundreds of vaporized chemicals instantly coat your nose, pharynx, larynx, and trachea. They enter your bronchial tubes and penetrate the alveoli sacs in your lungs.
F&#cking awesome!
With each breath, you allow petroleum hydrocarbon molecules to enter the millions of alveoli (tiny sacs in your lungs), and spread throughout your capillaries into the bloodstream…then finally, into the cells of your body. It’s a cancer-forming orgy.
Once inside the cells, fragrance molecules disrupt your endocrine system. They wreck your hormone balance, output and sensitivity. In normal circumstances, your hormones regulate metabolism, brain function, genital formation, central nervous system operation, DNA integrity, and yes, reproductive system function. But all of this gets messed up, thanks to “fragrance” disrupting your hormones.
Good news is, you can avoid reproductive and other organ damage by REFUSING TO USE AIR FRESHENERS. Get back to the basics by using essential oils, chemical-free soap, and natural cleaning products. Make sure they’re fragrance-free.
