Olfactory Overload
Ever hear of it? You will! Let’s see what gives me a headache..
Fabric softeners, perfumes, most hair products, body lotions, gels, sprays, dish detergents….shall I go on?
So, readers, any of this sound familiar? It’s a ten second time span and depending upon the nature of the synthetic, unnecessary fragrance of so many products, I get a headache, sinuses hurt, etc. And do not tell me it’s psychosamatic! I’ve been this way since I was four and when I teach people about chemicals I often see the light go on and they things like “oh! that’s why I can’t breathe well when I smell such and such a product” (not allowed to name names).
When I am negative about things not natural, I need to make amends by offering alternatives.
Go to natural stores for your hair and body care! Use non-toxic cleaners. Mix essential oils for perfumes (one of the worst things!) and just think. Chemical fragrance = neurotoxin.
Do you like your sense of smell? I do. Please preserve.
