In the finale of my series on how to stay healthy in a world full of unregulated, ubiquitous, persistent, and harmful chemicals, I provided a comprehensive compilation of resources to help one make empowering and safer purchasing choices. I also discussed many of the factors to consider before starting a cleansing and detoxifying protocol to decrease one’s total toxic burden. These aspects are critical to be aware of in order to prevent unwanted side effects and to ensure that the body is well-nourished to handle this energy-demanding process.

One of the common themes in my articles has been the importance of “trading up,” or replacing pesticide-ridden, nutrient-depleted foods, and chemically laden purchases for organic foods and non-toxic consumables. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done for many, based on their socioeconomic implications, accessibility, and availability.

One of my favorite solutions for affordable, healthy personal care, cleaning, and consumer merchandise are essential oils and essential oils-infused products. Although price ranges vary, many basic oils are very reasonable and last months, as only one or a few drops are needed per application.

In this post, you’ll be offered resources and ideas for incorporating them into your life to enhance your wellness as you decrease negative exposures.

Just as with various cosmetics and chemicals, essential oils are unregulated, so please ensure they are high quality before you partake in making recipes or buying them. Information on determining quality of essential oils can be found here.

This information is applicable ONLY for therapeutic quality essential oils. This information DOES NOT apply to essential oils that have not been tested for purity and standardized constituents. There is no quality control in the United States, and oils labeled as “100% pure” need only to contain 5% of the actual oil. The rest of the bottle can be filled with fillers and sometimes toxic ingredients that can irritate the skin. The studies are not based solely on a specific brand of an essential oil, unless stated. Please read the full study for more information.
