The subject of toxification is so much more significant than I ever imagined but if you think about it it makes perfect sense. Almost everything that is toxic to our bodies and our home environment also has a toxic effect on the environment we live in and equally everything we pollute the planet with comes back to us as toxic to our bodies through the air we breath and our water supply. So every toxic practise we participate in actually comes back to personally impact our health and well-being.

We are all aware of the obvious problems like our cars, our appliances and our waste products (which we try to recycle) but have you ever thought about the less talked about impact of our everday toxic habits?

Have you ever thought about what you put on your skin?

Deodorant, shampoo, skincare, sunscreen, shaving lotion, fake tan, make-up, hair colour, toothpaste, laundry detergents, insect repellent etc etc every single time you put one of these items on your skin you are poisoning yourself. They can be seen in your blood stream within minutes. Just try this quick (non-toxic) test with your kids; rub your feet with garlic and within 10 minutes it will have travelled right through your body and you will have garlic breath.

What about what you are inhaling?

Do you ever think about how many toxins you voluntarily inhale everyday. What about all those things you just put on your skin? Did you know you inhaled them as well? Then there are all the things you breath in through the rest of your day like cleaning products, air fresheners, insect sprays, house hold products like paint, lubricants, glues, gardening products like weed killers, fertilizers, bug sprays. My lungs hurt just thinking about it.

What about the toxic things we eat?

Yes that’s right. So much of what we call food these days is just a chemical cocktail manufactured in factories that not only pump out toxic food products for us to eat but also create more toxic waste with packaging and the toxic byproducts from the manufacturing process. This also applies to the factories that supply the things we put on our skin and inhale through our lunges.

So there we have it! Everything toxic thing we put in our mouth, apply to our skin or inhale through the day doesn’t just poison us once. We are poisoned when we use it, we are poisoned again by the pollution caused by the toxins produced creating those products and we are poisoned by the toxins produced by the waste from all that packaging. If we don’t take the steps to cleanse our bodies of these toxins they build up and have an accumulative efffect on our health.

By now you must be asking how on earth there could be a simple solution to this dilemma????? STOP eating unhealthy prepackaged foods, wherever possible choose natural products purchased from people who don’t have factories (check your local market) look for simple alternate cleaning products like vinegar and before you use anything ask yourself how essential it is and if there is a better alternative. From plastic bags to furniture – reuse, recyle and repair everything you can!

Please don’t make the excuse of what about everyone else..for the sake of your own self respect be a part of the solution instead of the problem!

Ps: Thank you from everyone else!!!!!
