Homeopathic remedies
keep the toxins away!

His book "The Organon of the Healing Art" is still the one that we are using today.

Success in treating people suffering from infectious disease epidemics gave homeopathy its popularity. Death rates were lower than conventional treatments.Traditional medical treatments were harmful and did little or nothing to combat infectious disease epidemics.

In the 1970's, Greek Homeopath George Vithoulkas did a lot more research and updated scenarios on homeopathic remedies, it was revived worldwide.

Remedy is a technical term used to refer to substances prepared to treat specific symptoms. There are 3000 different remedies used today.

Non toxic pest repellents:

Pyrethrum - A mixture of natural insecticidal compounds. Found in certain types of African chrysanthemums. Can help control aphids, white flies, stinkbugs and mites.

Neem - Seeds and leaves of azadirachta indica (native tree of India).The compounds it contains act as insect repellent. It is non toxic to humans and animals and beneficial to bees.

Non toxic Cleaners:

Baking soda - All purpose cleaner
Effective on glass, red wine stains, tea stains. A paste made from baking soda and water cleans stainless steel and silver. Castile or vegetable based liquid soap and a drop of essential oil (tea tree or lavender) cleans sinks, counter tops, toilets and tubs.

Some more information from Larissa Jones' book:

Important facts:

The Consumer Products Safety Commission had determined that more than 150 chemicals found in ordinary household products are directly responsible for producing cancer, allergies, birth defects, and numerous psychological disorders.

Some 80% of people’s exposure to chemicals occurs in the home. A five year study completed by the EPA concluded that many homes had chemical levels 70 times higher than that of outside air. They also reported that cleaning and personal care products commonly found in the home are three times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air pollution. (www.epa.gov)

A paper presented at the Indoor Air Conference in 1990 in Vancouver concluded that due to increased exposure to household carcinogens, housewives have a 55% greater risk of developing cancer than women who work outside of the home (healthrecipes.com)

It appears that pesticide concentration inside the home is greater than can be explained by in-home pesticide use, suggesting that pesticides are may be carried in from outdoors, where they collect and remain on household surfaces such as carpets and counter tops. Of particular concern are products used on lawns and gardens. (www.epa.gov)

There is a wealth of information and books about making your own products such as " Clean House,Clean Planet- Clean your House for Pennies a Day- The Safe and Nontoxic Way " by Karen Logan.
