From cleaning sprays and laundry detergents to scented candles and non-stick pans, many everyday household items contain chemicals that may affect our health, especially when we live with a chronic condition.
Some members of the community have shared that cutting back on certain products helped with allergies, headaches, asthma, skin flare-ups, or just gave them peace of mind.
💭 What about you?
Have you ever tried reducing chemical exposure at home?
What swaps or habits actually made a difference for you?
Any tips or natural alternatives you’d recommend to others?
