Hello dear friends and steemians, 

Dear lovers of perfume and fragrance, did you know that there is a Healthy Alternative to industrial-made perfumes? Much simple and way more healthier? 

Guess What? There is!!

Essential Oils ARE the ANSWER! ❤️

First of all, let me tell you why am I writting this post. Maybe I inspire you to submit a similar article on 'Alternative Consumer Challenge" theme, challenge that @ecotrain and @naturalmedicine are hosting it right this moment on steemit. Hurry up! One more week to go! Read all informations about it here

So, you wonder, Why did I chose this theme? 'Essential oils as perfume alternative?' This is why:

First of all, using industrial made perfumes and all sort of similar products is bad for our health. Why would you wanna breathe something that isn't natural? Something that is artificially made and you don't benefit of it? Worst, they are toxic for your body, for your brain, for your skin, for your lungs because yo're inhaling potential toxins and harmful substances that are causing a reaction in your body. I found it potentially as bad as smoke? 

In fact, there are MORE chemicals in perfume and cologne than in cigarette smoke. Each puff of cigarette smoke has 250 chemicals while perfume and cologne can have up to 3000 different chemicals that make up a signature scent. [souce here]

Second, using Perfumes and Fragrances which are industrial made is a bad habit that costs our planet, besides our health. All ingredients they use, all the infrastructure and the technological process and waste are toxic for the enviroment. 

Most of today’s fragrances are synthetic chemicals, with between 4,000 to 7,000 compounds used by industry in different combinations to make our senses think we are smelling a particular scent. [source here]

Our air is also impacted – both indoor and outdoor. Most fragrances are classified as volatile compounds, which means they break down into other compounds when released into the air; very often these compounds can have more serious environment and health implications compared to the actual fragrance compound. So fragrances add to both indoor and outdoor air pollution and have done so for years [source here]

Also, a dangerous thing about perfumes. Our skin absorbes what we put on it. That means the skin will absorbe all the chemicals within the perfume.

The toxins which are into perfumes are called phthalates and they have been attributed to causing a number of health issues including developmental disorders, poor lung function, polycystic ovarian syndrome, problems conceiving, hormonal imbalances and more. And yet, we're irresponsable and keeping spraying them on us. Irronically Wondertul!!!! 

Using Essential Oils instead of perfume is a healthy alternative!!!! 💜

On the other hand, ess oils contain zero harmful ingredients. They are highly concentrated versions of the natural oils in plants that possess potent therapeutic qualities, and are absorbed well by the skin. Used in your natural personal care products, essential oils may also heal, soften, and nourish.

An essential oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "essence of" the plant's fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived [wikipedia]

You not only replace the perfume and leave behind all those pottentialy harmful effects on your body because the use of them, but YOU DO A GOOD THING for your health. 

No matter the form you're using it, Essential Oils are beneficial for your health mind and body! They are great alternatives to indoor perfumes, room sprays, unhealthy candles, perfume concentrates, bath perfumes, essence ambience, perfumes sticks, cologne, etc., all these being made in a factory with hundreds of chemicals. 

All you need is a diffuser and some bottles of essencial oils. There are infinite fragrances and plenty of combinations to satisfy all consumers out there. 

Essential oils are made from plants, they are not made of chemicals. In the process of manufacturing essential oils, adherence to the healthy practices of flavor extraction and natural fragrances, rigorous testing measures are implemented to ensure quality.

You can chose from a wide range of flavors, from floral sences to oriental, minty, sweet, manly, citrus and exotic, spicy, forest-like or specific individual fragrances like lavander, jasmine, rosemary, basil, lemongrass, cinnamon, vanilla, tea tree ETC etc ETC ETC etc etc ETC etc Lots of ETC etc etc. 

ANDDDDDDD, the most important part! Not to mention the positive effects they have on us. The inhalation of certain essential oils improves the senses and can have many positive effects on the body. You get to benefit of the particular properties of these plants, seeds, flowers, barks, leaves and whatever.

For example, is well known that Lavander is a good adjuvant when it comes to sleep problems. You have the issues? Pss pss!You use Lavander essential oil. Or do you need a antibacterial essential oil? No problem! You can choose from tea tree, clove, oregano and so many other. There are essential oils for pain, migrenes, concentration problems, stress problems, sore throat issues or respiratory deficiencies. Even for "Stay-away Mosquitoes!!!"What can I say? I could write until tomorrow about all sortiments of essential oils. I love them!

 

You can use them too! By the way, this is one more of the reasons I chose to write about this theme. Anyone in this world consumes parfumes. And because of that, it's handy for eveyone to make a change in what perfumes to use. Essential oils are eveywhere! Make a change now, no matter where you are! It's just good in doing it! Nothing to loose, my opinion! 

Here is a LONGGGGGGG list of what Essential Oils are used for, replacing the perfumes additives. All these next cosmetics are perfume free, containing Just essential oils to give the product its scent. There is no need for toxic perfmues and additives when you have these natural beauties. 

• Window cleaner
•  Eau de perfume
•  Cologne
•  All purpose Cleaner 
•  Mouthwash
•  Face toner
•  Shampoo
•  Candles
•  Soap
•  Indoor spray 
•  Bath bombs
•  Hair oil
•  Lotions
•  And the list goes on and on.

HERE!!! Take a look at this website! Great recipes in here folks for inspiration! 100 homemade bath body products made essential oils. See? They are used for their scent and for their healthy benefits! 

Next, let's see these examples recipes. But if you decide to use ess oil as perfume in your home or into your cosmetic products please please please do some little research on the internet! You will find so many useful informations. Also easy homemade recipes and guidelines to make them. 

If you want to use them as indoor perfume, you need a diffuser that will do all the work! Put a few drops in the diffuser together with water and press the button. It's all set! 

While inhalation and diffusing are wonderful and easy ways to integrate essential oils into your routine, keep in mind that you should always diffuse in a well-ventilated area and make sure that what you’re diffusing is safe for pets, children, or anyone else who may be around.

Or if you want to wear it as a perfume, you have 2 options. Either you make a diy perfume (not hard at all. All you need is your favourite oil like vanilla oil, almond, etc., alcohol and essential oils) or you simply add some drops of ess oil together with a carrier oil and then just roll-on some on your skin.

For making mouthwash you can use mint flower water or tincture and a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Also tea trea, oregano and clove oil are good alternatoves. Orrrrr you can combine distilated water with 1tsp bakind soda and your favorite essential oil.

All purpose cleaner: ACV, citric acid, baking soda, essential oils (Tea Tree essential oil, Oregano essential oil, Clove essential oil and Lavander essential oil). Just mix the ingredients and its all done. I use it for everything and I always have it with me, in my purse also in the car.  

As a BIG CONLUSION! 

Stop using perfume, start using ESSENTIAL OILS!

Wish you all the health in the world,
