Are scents making you feel bad?
Did you know how many synthetic scents and perfumes are out there and how many of these toxic ingredients are finding their way into your favourite scents, not to mention the everyday products you love to use in and around your home? If your health is suffering lately or if you have been feeling more run down than usual if may be to do with all the synthetic scents that you are using without even realising it. Scent is a bit part of your life. You may have perfume, scented beauty products, plug in diffusers, reed diffusers, scented candles or aerosol sprays designed to make you feel better, happier, sleep more, stay awake longer or to make your home look and smell better. Different types of scents and products are targeting for just about every room in your home. Even when you go out no doubt you will be subjected to an onslaught of synthetic and toxic scents. You'll also be exposed to the new trend for vaping and e-cigarettes with interesting and on trend flavours. From the moment you rise until you go to bed at night, scent will have played a part in your day in some shape or form. The products you use on your skin, in your shower will probably have scent. In fact have you ever had a sniff of a product before buying it to see if you liked the smell? There is a further toxic overload to keep your home clean, your clothes clean and smelling fresher. There is an increasing number of respiratory and health issues, which is not just down to environment. It is very likely due to the very products you love and use. Does the inside of your nose ever feel sore or itchy? Do you ever feel tired, run down, headachy and lethargic for no apparent reason? All this and more could be down to a very simple thing. Scent. The perfume industry is currently worth $48billion in 2019 and perfume and scent have been around for centuries. You love to smell good and to be in an environment that smells good too!
But did you know you can improve your health by ditching the perfume and finding natural alternatives? When did you last look at the ingredients in your perfume? If you didn't catch my previous blogs on perfume then go and find them. You would have learned that ingredients such as Benzaldehyde, benzyl acetate, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and linalool, commonly found in most perfumes can lead to respiratory issues, while Ethyl acetate may put you at risk of kidney or liver damage. It has cancer-causing ingredients, including benzyl acetate, limonene and methylene chloride, while the Acetone and benzyl alcohol are linked to disturbances in the central nervous system. Some perfume chemicals have been linked to Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. Many chemicals in perfumes are linked to pain. Benzyl aldehyde is linked to abdominal pain while benzyl alcohol and methylene chloride are linked to headache pain. Benzyl alcohol and ethanol are known to cause muscle twitching and lack of coordination. Let's see what else may be in there that is affecting your health.
