Lavender herb and essential oilAre you having hard to take a deep breath with artificially freshened air? Well, you can use a natural air freshener and avoid fogging up the air with synthetic chemicals.  Conventional plug-in or aerosol air fresheners use chemicals that not only harm the environment, but might also mix with atmospheric ozone to increase your risk of asthma and other diseases. Why don’t you consider some of these:

  • Orange Mate – contains pure natural citrus oils in a recyclable aluminium pump bottle ($7.99/7 oz.).
  • Citrus Magic – a natural air-freshener that boasts lasting 4 times longer than regular fresheners ($9.95/7 oz.).
  • Ecco Bella Botanicals – 100% natural air fresheners.  Try the lavender scent to get into Zen mode ($8.95/7 oz.).

Here are some benefits of having these. Natural air-fresheners use essential oils rather than synthetic perfumes, formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOC) used by conventional sprays. Exposure to VOC’s can irritate nose and throat, and has even been linked to cancer. Most natural air-fresheners also come in recyclable packaging with non-aerosol pumps, reducing fluorocarbons that destroy the ozone layer. The best thing is, this will reduce the indoor air-pollution levels in your home. It is found out that the indoor air is to be 2-5 times more polluted than the air outside, so every little bit helps.
