How To Live A Low Tox Life

Would you like to live a life where you are not harmed by all the cheap toxic materials being used in the world today?

Here are some tips I can offer that you can start to entwine into your life today;

  • Buy candles made from essential oils only

  • Use deodorant free of aluminium

  • Use essential oil as a perfume

  • Install a timer on your wifi to turn off at 9 pm and back on again in the morning, so it's not going while you are sleeping

  • Make your cleaning products to use in your home from natural products

  • Use a reusable drink bottle for cold drinks

  • Use a reusable thermal bottle for hot drinks

  • Consider your furniture you buy

  • Reduce electrical equipment in your home that emits harmful radiation. Reconsider an electric blanket, introduce a Himalayan salt lamp to your room

  • Hang eucalyptus sprigs in your bathroom as a natural essence

  • Consider the paint you use if repainting the walls – opt for waterborne paints

  • Avoid vinyl and plastic flooring

  • Use your iPhone and iPad unplugged

  • Don’t put the laptop on your lap while working on it

  • Buy an emf pendant protector

  • Use LED lightbulbs instead of an incandescent lightbulb

  • Walk places – catch the train and buses

  • Start your own garden and grow your own food – fruit trees, herbs, vegetables…

  • Don’t buy plastic toys

  • Write fewer to-do lists and paper notes. Put your shopping list on the phone, use the notes app on your phone

  • Next time you are updating your fridge, choose a maximum star energy rating one

  • Consider solar panels for your home

  • Install a water tank for plants – reuse washing machine water on your garden. Collect in buckets or put the hose outside

  • Use double glazed windows in your home

  • Consider turning off appliances not being used at the power point

  • Walk or ride places rather than drive

  • Wear blue blocker glasses when using devices after sunset
