Toxin-free Home

In the last several decades, more chemicals were invented than in the last several hundred years. Many of these chemicals proved to be harmful and even carcinogenic. Some were taken off the market, but some are still used, even in water and food. 

Our detoxification organs work overtime to get rid of the toxins. Sluggish digestion, overburdened liver, or lymphatic system cannot deal with the increasing work. That is how glitches can happen and lead to autoimmune diseases, asthma, further digestive issues, and even cancers. 

Here are examples of some steps to reduce and eliminate toxins from your home with which Mumtoz can help you:

• Eco-friendly house refurbishment: For example, when renovating your home, opt for natural paints, adhesives, and sealants low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are chemicals that can off-gas and contribute to indoor air pollution which can affect your lungs and be absorbed by your skin. 

• Non-toxic furniture and clothes: For example, avoid furniture made with toxic glues, formaldehyde-treated wood, or flame retardants. 

• Eco-friendly kitchenware: For example, avoid using plastics and aluminium, especially when heating food, as they can leach harmful chemicals into your meals.

• Natural cleaning products: Replace conventional cleaning products with eco-friendly, non-toxic alternatives.

• Natural toiletries and makeup: Gradually transition to natural and organic toiletries and makeup products. There are products free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. 

• Clean water at home: Install a water filtration system to ensure that your drinking water is free from contaminants. 

• Organic gardening: For example, avoid using synthetic pesticides and fertilizers that can introduce harmful chemicals into your environment.

• Proper ventilation: Ensure good airflow in your home to reduce indoor air pollution. 

• Regular maintenance: Keep your home well-maintained to prevent issues like mould growth (e.g. use lime plaster during refurbishment), which can worsen indoor air quality. 

By adopting these practices and making conscious choices, you can gradually create a healthier and toxin-free living space for you and your family. Mumtoz's expertise and guidance can help you navigate this process and make informed decisions. She will help you to go through your house and suggest any important swaps and how to obtain cleaner products, etc.
