If you are wondering if your laundry detergent contains phosphates just read the label, it is listed there.
The next time you walk though the laundry detergent section of your supermarket, take a deep breath and notice how much the smell irritates your nose and lungs. The biggest selling detergents in the United States contain large amounts of irritating phosphates, which are not only a major irritant to the skin and respiratory system, but a source of serious pollution, and a component in global warming. There are many readily available natural detergents that are phosphate-free and it's worth the time to find them. In most industrialized countries phosphate detergents are outlawed for good reason, but in the United States the chemical industry has a strong lobby and cheap phosphates help manufacturers keep their costs low, so their use continues.
Let's not even get started with all the petrochemicals and other chemicals that are in our other products like lotion, shampoo, conditioners, household cleaners, laundry detergents, and well you get the picture. We did so in our yards, laundry products, cleaning, and now personal products. They create an environment where pathogenic organisms cannot live! With all the chemicals we're getting into our bodies through all the products we have in our homes, in our yards, in our air, in our foods, our bodies are degenerating because they cannot get rid of these toxins without help. Essential oils oxygenate and detoxify the blood in our bodies simultaneously. However, when we inhale the essential oils either through a diffuser or directly or even by applying them to our bodies (I even ingest orally some of the ones I use as does my husband and our dog) the oils cross the blood-brain barrier and clean out the petrochemicals!! They're the only known substances that are able to do this!! And you just thought they smelled good.
Aromatic Dish-Washing Detergent -- Bacteria Elimination. Add 8 drops of the above essential oil, with folk prescription or compound prescription, into mild dish-washing detergent. As chypre can aid in fluid circulation, this will be very beneficial for symptoms such as dropsy and poor blood circulation in the limbs. We recommend this as an aromatherapy essential within the car. At the same time, chypre can purify the air and eliminate bacteria and insects.
Less than 2% of these chemicals have actually been tested for long-term effects. Now that you know the truth, I encourage you to start doing something about it. Brenda Hoffman is a home-based professional from Pennsylvania. Your home is a toxic waste dump! The average home contains 62 toxic chemicals.

While it may seem like a great deal of work in order to eliminate these airborne allergens from your home, the amount of work will be significantly reduced if you perform these cleaning rituals regularly.

Avoid being outdoors when possible or, at least, be sure to exercise indoors, if you would normally do so outside.
For laundry I use a natural soap powder and
chlorine-free oxygen bleach. I put a cookie
sheet on the rack under a casserole that is likely to spill
over, for example, which pre-empts the need to scour baked
on food from the oven. First, I incorporate preventive maintenance. If the casserole spills, the cookie
sheet can be effortlessly soaked clean in a few inches of
water in the kitchen sink. I also keep in mind the adage A stitch in time saves nine,
which means if you take that first stitch to fix the tear
before it gets bigger, you'll save having to make nine
stitches later.
Many
commercial bath products contain detergents and artificial fragrances
that can be irritating to sensitive areas. Use soap-based cleaning products instead of poisonous detergent.
While detergents seem safe, they are a petrochemical-based product
that is responsible for more household poisonings than any other
substance. For bubbles, use a natural or
organic soap, available in natural food stores and online. Get some color in your life without toxic solvents by choosing colorful
water-based pens and markers.

You will find that your fears become much less controlling when you are celebrating everything because it no longer matters so much how things turn out.

We could do more than chuckle at this birthday boy's unabashed optimism - we should emulate it! When was the last time you encountered an unexpected pile of manure in your life? You had absolutely no control over the mess, right? But you had absolute control over your reaction to it and this is the key to using celebration to keep your mental health improved.
