Thousands of harmful chemicals can use the term "fragrance". This umbrella term can be used on any ingredients list without disclosing which specific chemical is inside the product. Companies are protected by "patent" laws and can claim these are trade secrets.

Did you know that when women are trying to conceive or are going through IVF, they are advised to not wear perfume? 75% of fragrances are linked to cancer, infertility, pregnancy loss and birth defects. Fragrances are also common triggers of asthma, migraines, allergies and sinus problems.

Fragrance can be found in your soaps, household cleaners, laundry detergents, personal care products, baby and children's products, shampoos, deodorants and more!

Another dangerous chemical to look out for are those that we call Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals. These substances are often found in our every day personal care products, pesticides and manufactured products. They interfere with the normal function of your endocrine system (a network of glands and organs that produce, store, and secrete hormones). They block hormones from doing their job, and according to The Hormone Health Network these can lead to severe health consequences such as cancer, infertility, endometriosis, early puberty, learning difficulties and so much more!

How do we protect ourselves? It can be hard because our supermarket products can look natural and organic due to clever marketing, packaging and imagery.

It only takes 26 seconds for a household cleaner to enter yours and your child's bloodstreams when they are in the room. What are you and your family being exposed to and breathing in? There is no such thing as flushing out these chemicals or building up a tolerance. Our bodies accumulate these chemicals over time, they mix, find a home in our bodies and wreck havoc.

Ditching these toxic chemicals should be a priority! Our family's health should be a priority! You don't have to be a master of DIYs and you don't need to spend a fortune. You can take it one product at a time like we did and gradually ditch the toxic chemicals and upgrade them for safe products. You can choose your own pace and work to your own budget.

• Their farms are open to the public, so we can see firsthand exactly where our oils are coming from.

• On their farms, they use essential oils for pest control and weed control is done by hand.

You may be thinking ‘I don’t have the extra money to spend right now’, and I actually thought the same thing at first. But then I realised how many things I could stop buying from the supermarket and buy from Young Living instead. This is what we call TRANSFER BUYING, because you’re not spending new money, you’re just spending the same money in a different place on things that are so much healthier for you and your family.

For example, your first month on Essential Rewards you could buy Laundry Soap and Dish Soap. Month two could be body wash and bath bombs. Month three could be topping up on some more of your favourite oils.
