How to make your own safe, non toxic hand sanitiser in seconds!
Looking for a safe, toxin free hand sanitiser?
Recently I saw an article in the paper showing children being sprayed with disinfectants to 'protect' them from coronavirus.
Which begs the question. Do we need to spray harsh chemicals on our family to keep them well? Not in my books!
Given that we inhale and absorb what we use on our skin, this can harmful and have the OPPOSITE effect. by inflaming the immune system with toxins.
Yes, hygiene is important – and let’s keep washing our hands. It’s OVERUSE of sanitisers to ‘kill germs’ that we need to be cautious about.
As humans, we are made up of ‘germs’- we are 99% bacteria, 1 % human. Maintaining a healthy bacteria balance is critical to our immune system – and the irony is we are wiping it out to ‘protect our immune system’.
Excessive use of harsh cleaning products and hand sanitisers can lead to antimicrobial resistance in bacteria and also expose us to unnecessary toxins.
So please – use these products sensibly, like anything they can be overused!
Here is a simple, natural and non toxic recipe that works – and safe for the whole family.
