Give essential oils a try. Many personal care products, cleaners, air fresheners and candles are made with synthetic fragrances, along with other harmful ingredients that are known hormone disruptors, neurotoxins and carcinogens. Essential oils are a great alternative.  Many have antibacterial and healing properties.  Use essential oils with a diffuser to make your home smell great and kill germs.  Mix them into your homemade cleaners, or add several drops to your next bath. Look for candles that use essential oils rather than toxic synthetic fragrances. Our favorite essential oil blends are Buzz-OFF Bugspray and IMMUNE Essential Oil which combines seven powerhouse essential oils into one – Eucalyptus Globulus and Eucalyptus Radiata (both powerful antibacterial and antiviral essential oils), Niaouli and Tee Tree oil (antibacterial, fungicidal and antiviral), Ravensara (antiviral), Pine essential oil (an expectorant and pulmonary antiseptic) and lavender essential oil (an analgesic useful for the treatment of colds, coughs and influenza).
