Everything you touch and put into your body has the potential to leave a lasting effect. Let's work together to create small changes to reduce the amount of toxins in your life.
Every small change makes a difference.
“Toxic load” refers to the volume of toxic substances that have been accumulated in the body at any given time and the overall burden it places on the body systems and vital organs. Toxins come from countless sources, many of which we are not even aware of. Environmental threats, chemicals, and radiation are three of the most common categories. Your body has a number of passageways through which it is directly exposed to toxins and several mechanisms that it uses to deal with this exposure. The three most common pathways of exposure are the lungs, the digestive tract, and the skin. We are directly exposed to toxins through the air we breathe, the food we eat, and anything that contacts our skin. While minimizing exposure to potentially harmful chemicals on a daily basis is the most effective method for limiting toxic load, you can be proactive about reducing toxic build-up already present in the body. Focus on a clean, whole food diet, detoxify with a regular dietary cleanse, and use all-natural household, skin, and hair care products. Below is a collection of articles that focus on the body’s natural detoxification process and ways you can support its proper function.

🌺 Here are three simple changes that can benefit you and your family:
1. Filter your water.💦
Filtered water removes the toxins that municipalities may not be eliminating, helps improve skin hydration, and is healthier than distilled, alkaline, or even vitamin waters. You can also add your favorite citrus oil to your water for additional support and an overall pleasant taste.
2. Wash your hands.✋
Did you know that people touch their face around two to five times a minute? Our hands touch everything around us—and then make their way to our face, introducing more toxins. The dōTERRA On Guard® Foaming Hand Wash helps protect, clean, and moisturize your hands.
3. Get more sleep.😴
We often sacrifice our sleep to accomplish more during the day, but sleep is the best way to regenerate the body’s detoxification capacity, both mentally and physically. Have you tried Serenity® or Lavender to help you get a better night's sleep?
Which of these three changes will be the easiest to accomplish in your home?
