The Nose Knows... But, do You?

Think of all the products that you use everyday that have "fragrance"... under-arm deodorant, hair care products, expensive perfumes, hand lotion, etc.

NOW consider that approximately 90% of ALL those products utilize SYNTHETIC fragrances...

"So what?", you are probably saying.
That's what I used to think, too... Until I did the research.

The fact is that SYNTHETIC fragrances are contributing culprits to many common ailments like asthma, allergies, and neurological concerns. It isn't the actual "scent" that is the problem, but the "SYNTHETIC" component of the fragrances that is affecting us; i.e. Remember the last time you found yourself dashing through the perfume department at the mall, trying to hold your breath the entire way? It isn't so much the actual "scent" that is bothering you, so much as the "synthetics" involved in chemically producing fragrances that are creating the bigger punch to your nose, lungs, and brain. But, don't take my word, do your own research. Some good links to begin your research can be found at www.butterbath.com/shop/page11 .

But alas, a world without fragrance would be dull indeed.

One solution is to consider using products made with NATURAL fragrances. Natural fragrances, in the form of Pure Essential Oils extracted from plants by steam distillation, do NOT mess with our bodies, lungs, or brains like synthetic fragrances have the potential to do. Plus, essential oils can provide our bodies with positive health benefits, in addition to smelling delightful! For a selection of bath and body care products that use only 100% Pure Essential Oils, visit butterbath.com

The Nose Knows... But, do YOU?... Ask yourself that the next time you find yourself darting through the perfume department at the mall.

Happy, Healthy Hugs, Lynn
