The Importance of Natural Ingredients
The average human body carries a heavy load of chemicals that we accumulate throughout our lives through exposure to synthetic chemicals from air, water, food, personal care products, and more. We are surrounded by hundreds or thousands of synthetic chemicals every day. Chemicals are all around us. We can find them in air, water, food, clothing, tools, furniture, toys, cosmetics and medicines. Although some of them are useful for mankind, despite their usefulness, we know that many of these substances can have negative effects on our health and the environment.
Conventional and chemical cleaning agents very often irritate the skin and respiratory system and can cause allergic reactions, are environmentally unacceptable and even toxic, both for us and for the environment. You can make most of your home cleaning products yourself. You need essential oils, citric acid, alcoholic vinegar and baking soda.
Based on some estimates, approximately 6% of the world's burden of disease, including chronic diseases, various cancers, neurological and developmental disorders, and 8% of deaths can be attributed to chemicals. It should also be borne in mind that these figures are on the rise and that only a small number of chemicals are reliably known as to their effect on health.
In order to reduce the concentration of dangerous chemicals in general, it is important to reduce the use of chemical agents in one's own home. The good thing is that you can replace many chemical agents with natural preparations that you can make yourself.
