Detox This Home








Ever wonder why there has been a massive influx in the diagnosis of asthma, allergies, autism, ADHD, fibroid tumors, endometriosis, infertility, numerous cancers, diseases, and illnesses.   The diagnosis' keep coming, but the cause and genuine explanation as to why is stated, "TO BE CONTINUED." 


Perhaps, it's true that our bodies are continuously being exposed (overexposed) to chemicals and toxic matters that we cannot begin to even fathom an accurate count.  It's been proven that a baby will be exposed to numerous toxins, only hours of exiting the mother's womb.  Truth, even the "safe" breast milk is contaminated with chemicals and unknown toxins.  You are basically exposed to toxins simply by existing.


We would love to believe that if a product or food is placed on the market for the consumer, it must be safe.  Fact, the American Chemical Society and the FDA have very few restrictions on how they decide if a product is safe.  It is unfortunate, but the consumer is basically left in charge to fend for themselves.  Try to decipher what's good, and what's bad- there's no law in place that says, a manufacturer must clearly label, "Beware, this item is contaminated," across their package.  So beware.

It's left up to the consumer to decide, which is nearly impossible if the item is not clearly labeled.  But, there are additional steps you can take to detox your home, by making changes in products that are in fact clearly labeled, "Beware, this item is contaminated with chemicals/toxins."


A few examples include:
Toss the chemicals in your laundry room, bathroom, and kitchen. Toothpaste, deodorant, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, toxic cleaning products, scented candles, etc.  The makeup, lotion, soaps you apply to your body are working on your body, externally as well as internally. 

Also the items that accumulate dust, or may be difficult to clean should be removed as well, or switched out and cared for often (sheets, comforters, pillows, mattresses, heavy curtains). These items should be purchased routinely and preferably purchased from eco-friendly manufacturers.

Lastly, toss the junk and unwanted belongings, as they do a major job of harboring dustmites and chemicals as well.  If you have not touched an item in the past six months, and don't have intentions of touching it withnin the next 90 days, remove it.

Links below show great ways to protect your home and family members from many toxins and chemical exposures.  There's no true way to avoid all chemicals, or to accurately identify the countless chemicals entering our homes.  By making a few changes, you can significantly reduce the effects.

Introducing the Kiwi

So, the kiwi originated in China, but is now grown in the US, in addition to a few select countries.  Here in America, the kiwi is pretty easy to find, and also reasonable in price.  Believe it or not, this sweet fruit is jammed pack with vitamin C - even more than that of an orange!  Also contains vitamin E, low in fat, and no cholesterol The two main claims floating around about the kiwi: 1. It's a natural energy booster! 2. It can effectively reduce asthma symptoms, and respiratory problems in general. It reduces heart problems and increases lung function. It has been suggested that a child suffering with asthma conditions can eat one to five kiwis weekly to reduce symptoms. I have personally embraced the kiwi because of the taste, plus it's a convenient snack.  But, now my love for the kiwi has been placed on a higher level.  Okay, that's a little extreme!  But seriously,  it's a fruit to consider trying, and if possible,  introduc...

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html

Oil Pulling- A Simple Detox

So before you begin reading this, let me say that I am prepared to hear words of doubt, confusion, and just plain ol' 'are you crazy?!' concerns.  I know this because I have been sharing this simple practice with a few friends, and they all looked at me with the side eye, as if this is something I learned from of a cult.  But seriously, this is an opportunity to hear results before you jump on the bandwagon.  Simply put, oil pulling is a form of detoxing and cleansing the body.  It is so easy, and close to free-  so right up my alley when it comes to time and cost.  Also, please note that this method of detoxing has been performed by many for ages, and has been identified as a best practice for healing the body.    Choose the oil of your choice.  I prefer coconut oil, but other oils work just as well; sunflower, safflower.   Throw a spoonful of oil in your mouth, (don't swallow), s...
