Creating a chemical free living environment is simple and can help eliminate many common contaminants and the associated health problems. We are constantly exposed to harmful chemicals that enter our body through the foods we eat or indirectly or indirectly via our skin, breathing and eyes.
The actual effect of the chemicals is not fully understood but with the increasing health problems of modern society we are beginning to know the harmful results.
For chemical free living we need to consider.
What we eat and how we cook: Most of the foods available commercially today contain chemicals at varying levels. The answer is to buy your food from your local organic markets, greengrocer and butcher or grow your own. Try it its relaxing and satisfying.
Personal care products can cause numerous side-effects including eye problems, organ damage, immune system damage, skin and hair problems, respiratory illness, and headaches and vomiting. These should be replaced by making your own.

Cleaning Products: chemicals are used in oils, laundry detergents, cleaners, soaps and shampoos. Natural solutions are less expensive and are easy to make and readily available
Pesticides: Chemicals commonly found in pesticides can lead to fertility problems, sterility and hormone disruption. Asthma and other respiratory problems are known results.
Air and water: Air within the home is filled with particles, gases and pollutants. It’s important to ensure good ventilation at all times. We are assured the small doses of chemicals in water will not harm us, but the compound effect over a lifetime is unknown so have good-quality water and shower filters installed.
Avoid synthetic carpets synthetic pillows and bedding materials, wallpapers, plastics and toxic paints. Use things like wood products that have been sustainably grown and processed and finished naturally.
Chemical residue left in the clothes directly contact our skin and although cotton is a preferred choice over synthetic materials, it can be deemed safe only if it was grown using organic methods. Always wash new clothes before wearing.
Be aware of terms like derived from nature or a natural source. This can mean the original might have been natural but has since been chemically and synthetically modified or altered to finally become a potentially dangerous ingredient.
Your mind, body and soul are nurtured to their fullest potential in a chemical-free home. Your body craves nutritional, chemical-free food, your lungs want clean, fresh air and your heart needs toxin-free blood. This can be successfully achieved only in the completely natural organic home environment
The simplest way to clean up your home is to stop buying products that contain chemicals, but how do we recognise them. Finding a comprehensive guide for this can be time consuming, and what also is needed is a way to replace them with safe natural products.
