Have you seen an alarming increase in kids with allergies, asthma, eczema and learning disabilities? As a former school teacher, that breaks my heart. I believe that the toxins in our environment is one BIG reason why these children are suffering with these challenges. We need to advocate for our little people!!
It is also disruptive to the endocrine system too. Do you know anyone with Thyroid issues? The endocrine system affects hormone production. Hormonal imbalance diseases such as diabetes is linked to toxins such as triclosan too.
One thing that not everyone is aware of is the very prevalent toxic agent called Triclosan AKA: Microban, Biofresh, Bactraban and other incarnations of this product.1 It is a registered poison, LD (Lethal Dosage) to rats is 5000mg/kg.

What can we do about it?
Actually there are many things we can do about this issue.
- Immediately replace your household products to natural products. I use doTERRA cleaners, shampoos, soaps and washes.
- Use essential oils as hand sanitizers. doTERRA has an awesome On Guard sanitizer spray you can get.
- Use essential oils to detox the body. Add a few drops of citrus oils to your drinking water throughout the day. Put Cilantro and Clove oil on your big toes or on your kids to help draw out heavy metal toxins from the brain.
- Make your own cleansers and scrubs and lotions with natural products and essential oils. I like to use the doTERRA Unscented Body Lotion and add my favorite oils to it. For more ideas click here.
