Cleaner Air, One Candle at a time
Posted on 4 March, 2011 at 10:07 |
Every once in a while, I forget how truly allergic I am to synthetic fragrance. After living for so many years not being able to be around fragrance and now, with my essential oils and organic, plant derived,natural fragances, being constantly surrounded by wonderful fragrance, I forget the affects synthetics have on me. And then I enter a building with a synthetic candle burning. Or perfume. Or try a lotion. I instantly can tell if the fragrance is synthetic or not. My throat starts to clam and tighten up, my breathing becomes labored, my head hurts and I feel sick. How many people have this same affect? I hope that my business grows expenentially. Not because I want $$ (although I surely don't mind) but because I want the air we breath to be fresh and healthy. I don't think most people understand what they are burning and putting in their air. After all, if a lotion says natural or a candle says natural, doesn't that mean it |
