Cleaning Power Without the Chemicals
June 22nd, 2007
It’s common to disinfect toilets, sinks, counters, etc. with bleach or other harsh chemicals that only leave behind a strong, intoxicating odor. Sometimes an odor so suffocating that it causes you to leave the sparkling room before you even get a chance to enjoy it. But cleaning products don’t have to be so abrasive to your body and environment.
A more natural and aromatic way to clean is to use essential oils. Essential oils are liquids distilled from flowers, trees, roots, bushes, shrubs and seeds. Essential oils were actually humankind’s first medicine, and there are 188 references to essential oils in the Bible. Each oil has different properties and certain ones can protect the immune system, enhance your mood, stimulate or regenerate tissues and nerves, oxygenate cells and even destroy odors.
The simplest way to create a multi-purpose cleaner is to use a spray bottle and add 30 drops of Lemon essential oil to 8 ounces of water. Lemon like other citrus fruits is a natural antibacterial and antiseptic, so this solution is good to use on counter tops, floors, toilets, etc. Cinnamon can be used too as an antifungal, antiviral and antimicrobial.
It’s important to make sure the oil you are purchasing is 100% pure therapeutic-grade, otherwise, it can burn your skin. The best place to purchase quality oils is at a natural health food store. Although they are expensive, they last awhile since you do not need to use a lot. If you are interested in applying essential oils to the skin for a specific health issue, it’s best to call me for a onsult. For more education & products see below.
