DANGEROUS INHALATIONS
Modern consumers are faced with a bewildering array of commercially prepared, synthetically scented products as well as the huge range of complex sophisticated perfumes in our department stores. We witness many passing moods and trends that affect consumer choice of products. Commercial advertising is fully aware of the tool they possess in offering an attractively perfumed product of all kinds including household products. They remain alert to consumer preferences as for instance, lemon or apple scented washing suds prove most popular.
In modern life we are surrounded with scents and perfumes but not the natural ones that are so beneficial to use in reviving our energies and spirits as in the woodlands and outdoors in gardens and in natural surroundings.
The general use of perfumes in commerce, once an exciting new innovation, has now become a threatening influence, not only through volume but through the complex chemicals used, many of which are positively toxic to our health.
In the case of chemicals used in food production, some injurious substances have been identified. Health authorities for years have sought to determine carcinogenic material in particular and to restrict artificial colouring agents in food. But regulations have been shown to be difficult to put into practice and to police. The appearance of new substitute chemical agents is constantly increasing beyond the ability of the health authorities to keep pace with scientific proof of their safety.
Research into chemicals that are inhaled rather than ingested is taking longer. It is even more difficult a task to control the chemicals used in the perfume industry. Only recently has it become mandatory to list 26 of the presently identified carcinogenic or toxic chemicals used in commerce.
For our self protection, the message remains clear……
Avoid artificially produced scents and concentrate on conscious inhalation of the beneficial perfumes created by nature.
