Once you know you can’t ‘unknow’….
Hi friend,
I grew up using conventional personal care products and cleaning products. That’s all mum knew, and that’s all I knew. We trusted the products we were using. We assumed that they were safe. You don’t know what you don’t know, right?
But in my mid 20s I started my healing journey (after hitting rock bottom and ending up in a hospital bed) and started to learn about the hidden dangers in the everyday products that line our supermarket and pharmacy shelves – from food to tap water to beauty products to cleaning products. The very products that the government ‘allows’ big businesses to sell.
The pivotal light bulb moment for me came when I stood in front of a supermarket shelf and realised this:
Just because something is allowed to be sold doesn’t make it safe.
And that changed EVERYTHING.
And I mean E V E R Y T H I N G.
It obliterated my naïve trusting of conventional products, however ‘successful’ their marketing campaigns.
It made me sceptical of greenwashed products, however clever their ‘clean’ marketing.
It changed the brands that I invested in.
It made me realise that the brands and products that I buy is a strong vote for the kind of world I want to see.
So here is what I learnt about conventional products made by big biz that made me run a mile from them: The ingredients - regardless of their names (whether its artificial fragrance, propylene glycol, PEGS, aluminium, triclosan, DEET, oxybenzone etc etc) - have 5 main effects on the human body:
1. They are carcinogenic (cause cancer)
2. They are endocrine disrupters (mess up our hormones)
3. They are allergenic (hello coughing, wheezing, sneezing, headaches)
4. They are neurotoxic (affecting the brain and nervous tissues); and /or
5. They are microbiome disrupters (obliterating our beneficial bacteria which is the bedrock of our immunity, digestion, brain health, skin health and metabolism).
Aka chemical shit storm culminating in a myriad of symptoms that if left untreated can ultimately develop into chronic illness and degenerative disease. What we call lifestyle diseases of the modern world because our ancestors of yesteryear never suffered this same fate. And we are told that “it’s just bad luck”. Spoiler alert – NOTHING occurs because of bad luck.
Sadly, it gets worse….. Big Pharma then come to the ‘rescue’ with a plethora of synthetic pills for the aforementioned problems …. What a clever biz model! Create the problem then create another product to make you a customer for life
Let’s stop feeding the beast!!
There’s a better, more empowering, way and it’s called healthy swapping to low tox products!
Products that are:
All natural (safe for people, planet and pets)
Powerfully effective (they really work)
Cost effective
Young Living’s range of personal care products and cleaning products tick all 3 boxes PLUS you can get them all from just one place online all delivered to your door. Easy, convenient, streamlined! No racing around to a million shops, places and websites. No excuses.
Their products are so ultra concentrated that you can use the smallest amount to stretch the cost out to less than the toxic crap at supermarkets. For real!
For example: The Thieves household cleaning concentrate is so concentrated that that one bottle of concentrate makes 90 x 500ml diluted all purpose spray bottles (20ml concentrate + 480ml water), each one clocking in at $1.75/500ml. To make a window/glass cleaner you use only 5ml of Thieves cleaning concentrate so your new Windex is $0.45. I bet you Windex at supermarkets is more than that. You can’t buy toxic cleaners at reject shops for these prices. So next time you say “I can’t afford to go low tox” my response is “you are currently over paying for toxic crap in more than one way.”
Simply start healthy swapping items one at a time at your pace and have peace of mind that you are:
not inhaling toxic chemicals in your home
not harming other people in your home
not harming the planet…. because everything we use ends up in the water ways
boosting your system with the YL Thieves products (they are the only cleaning products that are actually GOOD FOR YOU upon inhalation)
making your home smell amazing (think hot cross buns or chai tea)
raising your vibration (for those of you who appreciate that everything vibrates at a measurable frequency) so you are more resilient to illness and disease and feel freakin’ awesome
