Just be informed about what you are exposing yourself to...did you know the artificial fragrances we have become so accustomed to have been proven to cause neurological damage? And these fragrances are in everything these days.
In Travel tip for motion sickness - try Bonine
Although I hate taking any kind of synthetic pharmaceutical, nothing else prevents me from getting motion sickness. I've tried everything from ginger to the wrist bands and Bonine is all that works for me. The active ingredient is different than Dramamine (which never worked for me).
In Clean Your Lint Catcher
I heard this from my repairman a few years ago and actually stopped using the dryer sheets! What really convinced me to stop using them was finding out how bad all those fragrance chemicals are to our bodies. And fragrance is in so much. Yes, once in a while a sock sticks to the inside of a pair of sweat pants but a good shake sends it to the floor. I'm surprised now that I ever felt dryer sheets were so essential.
In Dry skin care
Oh my goodness, I couldn't let this go untouched. Did you know that mineral oil (the substance found in Vaseline) is molecularly too large to penetrate the skin? It sits on top of the skin, forming a liquid saran wrap on the skin. Why is this undesireable? Well, your skin is a filter, it needs to breathe in oxygen and let out toxins. It cannot do either if it is blocked by mineral oil. Mineral oil is great at keeping any moisture from escaping but if dry skin is the problem, you need to add moisture to it and mineral oil cannot do this! There are products that can help with dry skin and excema much more effectively than mineral oil!!!!
