What to avoid
In order to be on the safe side, below, you have a list of the most harmful products we all use daily. Avoid using them as much as possible, and turn to more natural alternatives. Let’s take a look:
Artificial sweeteners
Even though there are natural sweeteners that are very healthy, there are artificial ones which are the opposite of healthy. For example, we have acesulfame K which is known to cause tumors and problems with pregnancy, aspartame which is associated with skin cancer, saccharin which is known to cause bladder cancer and sorbitol which can lead to flatulence, gasses, and diarrhea. Opt for more natural alternatives like Stevia, xylitol, and yacon syrup.

Air fresheners
A lot of store-bought air fresheners can cause a variety of health problems like lung damage, asthma, eye irritation, liver disease, kidney malfunction, skin rashes, gastrointestinal issues, etc.
Head and Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo
It contains dangerous chemicals and scientific studies have confirmed that when used in combination, they can be cancer-causing. Namely, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service emphasized the need of their withdrawal from the market.

The alternative
Instead of using this shampoo, prepare an alternative one from rosemary and cypress. Hence, you need to mix 5 tbsp of organic shampoo, 3 sprigs of rosemary, a bit of cypress, and 5 tbsp of lemon or apple cider vinegar. Transfer the mixture in an adequate container and use it 4 times weekly until you notice a reduction in the amount of dandruff.

Antibacterial soap
The common belief is that these soaps are meant to remove the bacteria and germs from our hands. However, newest studies conducted by the FDA showed that there is Triclosan in these soaps, which is known to interfere with the hormonal levels and it can also increase the chances of cancer and infertility.

The alternative
Homemade soaps are a much healthier option. You can even prepare them at home. You need to grate one bar of chemical-free soap and then melt the soap on low heat. Stir it constantly to avoid lumps. Then, add 30 drops of essential oil of your choosing and mix the content once more. Transfer it in a mould, and leave it to dry. Afterwards, the soap is ready for use
