CHEMICAL SENSITIVIES & ARTIFICAL FRAGRANCES

Perfumes In Nature

Dr. Michele Burklund October 2, 2013

These days it seems as though it's just not PC to wear perfume anymore…

There are so many people who have chemical sensitivities from synthetic perfumes which can show up as symptoms ranging from headaches to skin rashes.

There are toxic chemicals in perfumes that can actually negatively impact your health, doesn't that seem counter intuitive?

Perfume should not be offensive but enhance and beautify the environment for everyone.  

I personally love the way I feel and smell when wearing an essential oil and it's a great way to embrace the beauty of nature by using a plant in its natural state.  

Organic Rose Otto Essential Oil... this is all I pretty much wear!
