Why Organic and Natural Home and Cleaning Products

The liver is the main organ in the body that is burdened by any toxins that we expose ourselves to on a daily basis.  

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), your biggest toxic air pollution exposure comes from the air in your own home!

Over time a constant exposure to toxins and chemicals will begin to overwork and exhaust the liver and the detoxification systems of the body.   Many common diseases may even be caused or exacerbated by exposure to chemicals and toxins that overburden the body’s immune and detoxification systems.  In children, their bodies and systems are in the growth stage often making them even more susceptible. 

The article "Dangerous Chemicals in Personal Care Products Compromise Health" at www.newstarget.com recently stated that:

The average American household is a toxic chemical dump. People have antimicrobial soaps, dryer sheets with toxic chemicals, and then there are people using all sorts of personal perfumes and fragrance products that are also loaded with cancer-causing chemicals. You've got people putting deodorant in their armpits, and that deodorant contains aluminum which promotes dementia and Alzheimer's disease. And if that's not enough toxicity, you can buy air fresheners that will release a mist of toxic chemicals into the very air that you breathe so that you can inhale carcinogenic chemicals directly into your lungs. Beyond all that, we have the shampoos which are also loaded with all sorts of toxic chemicals, and we have the cleaning products that contain solvents which directly promote cancer as well as birth defects.  And this isn't even to mention the food supply yet, because the food supply in the average American household contains yet more toxic chemicals.  See Why to Buy Organic.

How Can You Lessen the Toxic Burden on Your Body?

One simple way is choosing not to expose oneself to toxins that can voluntarily be avoided.  Use natural and organic cleaning products as well as towels, sheets and other household items that off gas unnecessary chemicals and toxins in your home.  The following are some recommended resources for cleaning and household items.
