Your Skin Is Similar To A Large Sponge

What is meant by that headline, is that the skin readily absorbs smallers particles. While this is great for allowing oxygen and therapeutic quality aromatherapy into the body, it is not so great when it comes to chemicals, which have no place or use in the body, other than in the creation of more disease.

The perfume industry is one such industry, that supplies the public with an arsenal of chemicals, most of them listed as moderately dangerous. Some of these same chemicals are deadly to many people. Simply by the fragrance alone. I have seen this firsthand.

The following link is from the Environmental Working Group, showing a small portion of perfumes, colognes, and body sprays with the amounts of chemicals listed within each. This site from EWG is a wise place to keep up on health matters. Here is the link.

Chemical fragrances will cause many people discomfort, such as watering eyes, sneezing, not being able to breathe, loss of brain function and memory, and more. If it's listed as a perfume or cologne or body spray, your best bet is to avoid them altogether. For even if you like it, this may be very dangerous to someone around you.

When I used to run a hardware store, one of the dept heads brought in a new air freshener in a spray can. This was something I could not tolerate to be around, nor could some of the customers. One of the owners son's would stand at the front checkout and spray it into the air just to breathe it, because he liked it. I took all the cans off the shelf and disposed of them. This is what the label stated:
"Do not use this in a main room at first. Spray into a small room not being used to see if there are any adverse side effects first". This is a direct quote from that can.

Time Magazine published this article on the web about the chemical hazards found in air fresheners. Once you get an understanding of what the industry/big business if doing(using us for money regardless of the cost to us), you may realize that these products should be avoided like the plague. Why not petition the FDA/EPA/FTC/US Government, to make them go away permanently? Besides eating healthy, not much could help our health faster than this one action.
