Do you suffer from chemical sensitivity – your body’s overreaction to the myriad of chemicals found in homes, offices, and pollution commonly found outdoors? Have you made your home a safe haven by removing chemicals from household products, clothing, and even cosmetics and personal products, but now you feel isolated because you fear putting yourself at risk from chemicals found in homes? of family and friends? Chemical sensitivity is difficult to deal with physically, but the isolation it sometimes causes is even more difficult to bear. Here are 3 solutions to avoid isolation caused by chemical sensitivity.
- Designate a safe room
Ask your family and friends to designate an area that you can visit each time you go to their house. Let them know about the types of things in the room that could cause you a problem and ask them to remove them permanently or well in advance of your visit to clean the air in that room.
- Invest in a Portable HEPA Air Purifier
A lightweight portable air purifier designed to remove chemicals from the air will help ensure that the air in your designated area is free of problem contaminants. Bring the purifier with you on the day of the visit, plug it in wherever you go to visit and relax and enjoy being with your family and friends again. Encourage family members to contribute to buy a purifier for your birthday or special occasion that will stay in your home and constantly clean the air so you can visit whenever you want without hassle. This not only helps you when you visit, but also makes your home a healthier place.
- Use organic, fragrance-free, and natural products
Over a period of time, as your friends and family gradually refrain from buying products that contain fragrances and buy the unscented versions. He helps educate his family and friends about organic and natural options for everyday products that he has begun to choose for himself. After all, you are the expert on which products make you feel most comfortable.
