Are Fragrances harmful

Are Fragrances harmful ? What a sweet scent !? We all love to stop at the Fragrance store in the mall. But these Fragrances are the famous allergens in the Western Countries because of their usage. Fragrance ingredients can cause itchy, scaly skin, painful skin allergies, create cold and sneezing, worsen asthma,. Not just artificial, synthetic fragrance ingredients, even high concentrations of natural oils from citrus peel, lavender, tea tree etc, can cause harmful side effects. 1 in 50 People suffer from immune system damage from synthetic fragrances and from endocrine system damage due to a high volume of phthalates- industrial chemicals used to make synthetic musks, these may damage the ecosystems, according to Greenpeace research. It is best to choose natural fragrances. When you buy these, without synthetic ingredients, you also support farmers and people harvesting these plant-based ingredients. The environment is definitely not touched as the harmful industrial wastes are reduced. Shopping Tips: Read carefully the ingredient list on every bottle or container of personal products you are opting to buy...be it a hair oil, a body lotion, a baby cream or even a soap...every item carries FRAGRANCE.lipsticks and lipbalms also have this culprits hidden. Not every company reveals all the contents, then look for words like 'Free from Sulphates, SLS, Phthalates, Parabens, Petrochemicals, Animalproducts, Propylene glycol, Synthetic or Artificial Fragrance....just the word fragrance in the contents list hides numerous harmful chemicals. Choose FRAGRANCE FREE products whenever possible. USDA ORGANIC, NSF/ ANSI 305 'contains organic' and NPA Natural Certifications as these prohibit usage of synthetic scents. Following websites of Natural Perfumers Guild such as NaturalPerfumers.com and of NGOs working for better health and environment such as EWG.org will guide one to avoid the toxic products and live a healthy and happy life. - Prathyusha

Avoid too much use of Antibacterial products

Avoid too much use of Antibacterial products Antibacterial hand-sanitizers have become so necessary in Hospitals, in every household everytime an infant is born, in every diaper bag, at every public toilet in the Western countries, and they are widely available in every departmental store...many find them easy to use for sanitation, and also in cities where water supply problems exist. But research says that Anti-bacterial Hand Sanitizers, and even a simple Antibacterial soap is not good to use often. They tend to kill the disease fighting agents in human bodies..too much use of such soaps, hand wash liquids and sanitizers is not good. Most of these products contain Triclosan, an ingredient that is used to reduce or prevent bacterial contamination. Sametime, Triclosan has been found untested for its toxicity on human health. It has been lately found in the cord blood of newborns and urine cultures of many pregnant women....Triclosan is actually toxic to fish and other aquatic beings and is said to have endocrine-disrupting characteristics, which can affect growth and hormonal development. American Chemical Society has created a new report on the findings of this chemical in newborns and pregnant women. It is used more in hand soaps, toothpastes and deodorants too. It has not yet been diagnosed as harmful to humans but generally such tests start with animal testing first, and it is proved that Triclosan is harmful to fish and other aquatic creatures, so why use it still ? Some studies on Bacteria has raised a doubt that Triclosan might be capable of making bacteria resistant to Antibiotics. United States Department of Food And Drug Administration FDA has not proof yet on Triclosan's harmful effects but it is still researching on this aspect. Professionals in this field advise people who are concerned about health much to read the ingredients of any Toiletry item they purchase and proceed asper their discretion to use the product or not. Some famous Consumer product companies have even pledged to phase out this chemical from their products in the next few years. In the past, a study was conducted in Dental products and it was proved that Triclosan can prevent Gingivitis, a Gum disease. However, anyday if Triclosan is proved harmful, we can't reverse the situation. Or, it can also be thought this way, probably, over-use of Triclosan might be harmful, like using it daily, and limited use of it may nit create any health problems...we never know. Any decision w.r.t health and changes should be ones responsibility always...presonal research and keeping an eye on health updates on the web and through Renowned Doctors is very important at every stage of life. ....Pratyusha
