A question I'm often asked is can you remove chemi A question I'm often asked is can you remove chemicals from clothing and linens by just washing them? ⁠
⁠
Unfortunately, the answer is a big no!  It's like trying to wash a conventional strawberry and make it organic -- ain't gonna happen! ⁠
⁠
The chemicals are embedded into the product -- there are toxic chemicals like glyphosate used in the growing of the plants as well as in the processing of the product. ⁠
⁠
The soil is the skin of the earth. It absorbs toxins just like your skin.⁠

It’s crucial to pay special attention to product It’s crucial to pay special attention to products that you use every day as these will affect you the most.⁠
⁠
1. Toothpaste and mouthwash – Choose toothpaste that is free of foaming agents like SLS/SLES, anti-bacterial agents like triclosan, alcohol and artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, etc; organic essential oils/botanicals, charcoal, and coconut are better ingredients.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE ORGANIC CLOTHING AND LINENS? WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE ORGANIC CLOTHING AND LINENS?⁠
⁠
⁠
⁠
WHAT WE PUT ON OUR BODIES IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT WE PUT IN OUR BODIES. ⁠
⁠
BECAUSE WHAT WE PUT ON OUR BODIES DOESN'T PASS THRU OUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SO IT’S LIKE WE’RE CIRCUMVENTING OUR BODY’S ALARM SYSTEM. ⁠
⁠
THE BODY HAS A THRESHOLD AND CAN ONLY FIGHT SO MANY TOXINS BEFORE IT’S OVERLOADED. ⁠
⁠

THIS IS WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE ORGANIC CLOTHING AND TEXTILES. ⁠

HOWEVER, DID YOU KNOW IT’S ILLEGAL TO USE THE ORGANIC SEAL THAT’S USED ON FOODS ON TEXTILES? ⁠

IF A PRODUCT IS CERTIFIED WITH THE GOTS SEAL, IT CONTAINS 70% CERTIFIED ORGANIC FIBER AND IS FREE OF ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS.  THIS IS THE HIGHEST STANDARD FOR A TEXTILE PRODUCT. ⁠

Though using non-stick cookware may be convenient, Though using non-stick cookware may be convenient, the biggest concern for toxin exposure when cooking is use of non-stick cookware. ⁠
⁠
Most non-stick cookware contains chemicals like PFAS, which begin to break down when heated to high temperatures.⁠
⁠
This can cause particles and gasses that have been linked to certain cancers to be released. ⁠
⁠
And even with diligent care, this non-stick coating scratches, allowing the chemicals to flake off into your food. Ick! ⁠
⁠
Some newer non-stick pans utilize a ceramic coating but they are not all created equal. ⁠

Is your kitchen in need of an update but not sure where to start? ⁠
