Chemical Free Living
Can We Live A Chemical Free Life ?
We can catch the smallest bug, instead of having a bit of a natural immunity to a few things we all seem to be sniffling, coughing and sneezing our way through each day.
I’m not saying that we shouldn’t wash our hands after going to the toilet or before preparing or eating food etc, all those things we were raised to do.
But why are we all becoming almost obsessive/compulsive about it. It’s not like we’re about to perform surgery.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of going to a farm with my grandson’s kinder group.
There were all sorts of lovely animals tp pat and look at. All the children got to pat the lambs, feed the cows and goats. I almost burst out laughing at one point but I felt sorry for the poor child. The little girl had patted a lamb, there was Mum with the anti bacterial wipes, the girl got licked by a cow, Mum squealed in horror and out came the wipes.
Yes hygiene is extremely important but so is living and being healthy.
We need to be clean, have our homes clean but we need to read what’s in all these products we are using. So many are so scary.
Back in the 80’s when my daughters were small, here in Australia we were starting to be aware of the problems with the lack of recycling and the damage being caused to the planet and us humans by chemicals. Back then I started to make my own cleaning products the old fashioned way and I had always used natural soaps anyway.
But unfortunately over the years, life got busy and time to make these things got scarce and I got lazy. But I did try to buy the environmentally friendly products from the supermarkets when I saw them,
Some of them were so Eco friendly they didn’t work, or not very well.
Of course these days there are so many wonderful chemical free products, in laundry, home cleaning and personal care that there is no excuse not to use them. Give them a try, some of them actually work very well, just as well as the chemical filled brands and sometimes even better.
Whatever you choose to do please read the ingredients in all your products, yes I know you may need a magnifying glass as they make sure it’s all so small.

Massage & Float $150 Feel yourself float away into a pure state of bliss and relax as your stress is massaged out of your body, mind and soul.After this combination experience, you are sure to be at peace and in balance. You will begin with a one hour massage to loosen the muscles and de-stress the body. This will be followed by one hour of flotation where you will lie weightless as your body’s chemical and metabolic balances are re-set.Finish with a wonderful half hour body cleanse. Ionic detoxification treatment. Close your eyes and enjoy this amazingly relaxing experience.About the Flotation: Scientists estimate that up to 90% of the brain’s normal workload is caused by the effects of routine environmental stimulation the combined effects of gravity, temperature, touch, light and sound on the muscles, nervous system and sense organs of the body. The float tank screens out these external physical stimuli, creating a pure state of “sensory” relaxation. Under these unique conditions your body has a chance to restore its natural powers of self regulation, while you simply lie back and rediscover the latent abilities of a deeply relaxed mind. While you are floating, your ears are below the surface of the solution, cutting out external sounds. Many people, however, find that gentle ambient music accelerates and intensifies the relaxation process. The powerful underwater speaker system creates the feeling that you are floating in a sea of music, enhancing the rich dream-like quality of the experience. The temperature inside the capsule is kept at a constant 34.5 degrees Celsius – relaxed skin temperature. As a result, the nerve endings which cover the surface of the skin no longer perceive any sense of separation between the skin and the silky mineral solution which surrounds it. In the dark, weightless tranquility of the Apollo tm float tank, the boundaries of your body seem to dissolve and vanish. As you enter progressively deeper levels of relaxation, even your body seems to “disappear” from conscious awareness because of the sharp reduction in signals being transmitted through the nervous system to the brain. Free from all external stimulation, your body can achieve a state of relaxation which is deeper, purer and more beneficial than sleep. With no body to look after, your mind can attend to other business |

Burt’s Bees Chemical Free Sunscreen SPF-15 3oz $12.99 Description: Burt’s Bees Chemical Free Sunscreen SPF 15.Burt’s Bees Chemical Free Sunscreen SPF 15 blocks the sun’s harmful rays naturally. This non-greasy formula provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and helps keep skin hydrated without using chemical sunscreen actives like octinoxate and oxybenzone. Instead, titanium dioxide, a naturally-occuring mineral creates a micro-fine barrier on your skin to reflect the sun’s harmful rays. Their natural sunscreen is effective immediately upon application and safe for kids. We all need sunscreen to protect us from the sun’s harmful UV rays. But, did you know most sunscreens contain chemicals that absorb into your body? They believe these chemicals should not be on your skin’s surface, let alone absorbed by it. In chemical sunscreens, there are some chemicals that pose potential human health risks including benzophenone, octinoxate, octylmethoxycinnamate (OMC), and oxybenzone. These chemicals can seep into your skin, potentially altering how your body processes the sun’s rays and could upset your body’s normal hormone balance. That’s why they protect you and your family from harmful UV rays with a non-absorbing natural mineral: titanium dioxide. They use titanium dioxide because it works. It reflects UVA and UVB rays away from your skin, as soon as it’s applied. It forms an immediate physical sun block by creating a translucent broad-spectrum barrier on top of your skin. In contrast, chemical sunscreens need time ? up to 30 minutes ? to absorb into your skin to be effective. What’s more, the chemicals found in most sunscreens are not biodegradable and may have damaging environmental effects in the water. By using natural ingredients instead, they keep both you and the environment safe.Ingredients:Active Ingredient: titanium dioxide (6.83%)Inactive Ingredients: water, cannabis sativa (hemp) seed oil, glycerin, stearic acid, lophophyrum elongatum (wheatgrass) extract, oryzopisis miliacea (ricegrass) extract, collinsonia canadensis (stoneroot) extract, glucose, sucrose distearate, sucrose stearate, calendula officinalis flower extract, hydrastis canadensis (golden seal) extract, hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) leaf extract, symphytum officinale (comfrey) extract, xanthan gum, sodium borate, lecithin, silica, acacia senegal gum, alginic acid, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel oil, amyris balsamifera bark oil, copaifera officinalis (balsam copaiba) resin, pogostemon cablin (patchouli) oil, santalum album (sandalwood) oil, guaiacum officinale (guaiacwood) wood oil, aluminum hydroxide, fragrance, glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidaseDirections:Apply liberally to exposed areas before going in the sun. Reapply after swimming, excessive perspiration or extended sun exposure. |
