Healthy Homes
can Keep Your Family
and Yourself Healthy
What all is involved in having Healthy Homes?
It’s not just one thing but a number of things all working together.
Using Aromatherapy and Essential Oils is just one thing that you can do to bring more healthy, natural things and ways of doing things into your home.
Just like Holistic health is a concept that all aspects of people's needs should be taken into account and seen as a whole. We have to look at the whole picture – where we live, what we do, what we eat, what we put on and in our bodies, what we allow around us – to be truly healthy.
If we are trying to do things to make our bodies healthy we can’t be living in an environment that is unhealthy. What are things that make a home unhealthy and how do we make healthy homes?
One this page I put together some things that you could be doing to make sure that you have healthy bodies and a healthy home enviroment.
I will add to this page as I find things that fit into the whole picture of being healthy and having healthy homes.

How do you keep your home and family safe from toxins?
One way to have healthy homes is to learn about toxins and where they hide. They hide in many different places in your home and in many of the products your family may be using many times a day for personal care and cleaning.
First learn how to read labels and what to look for and why you should avoid certain ingredients. Just because a item is on the store shelf or something says it is natural doesn’t necessary mean it does not contain any harmful ingredients.
You hear about this in the news a lot now, but still a lot of people don’t realize the numerous toxins in cleaning and personal care products that they buy.
Many people are reluctant to even look at any link between what we put in, on, or around our bodies and the effect it has on our health and the planet, but it doesn't change the facts.
What harmful ingredients do you need to be aware of for healthy homes, bodies and planet?
Learn how to read the labels on the products you use.
Do you want to use safe non-toxic products but do not want to take the time to make your own safe products or maybe you just don't like doing things like that. Don't worry, more and more companies are starting to make safe "green" products.
Here's one company I recommend with a mission to provide the safest and healthiest products for people and the planet. They were non-toxic and 'green' many years before any other companies even started considering it. I have used their products for over a decade and really like them, they work great and do what they say they do - with out all the harmful ingredients that the mainstream products you see on most store shelves have in them.
