Your breast health is worth a few minutes to this read.
Over the past couple of decades, women have become increasingly aware of the importance of breast health, and for good reason.
Did you know that according to Breastcancer.org, approximately 1 in 8 women (13%) in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime?
Breast cancer also accounts for about 30% of all new cancer cases diagnosed in U.S. women each year.
Those numbers are worth paying attention to.
There are many factors that can influence our overall health, including genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, activity, stress, and the environment around us. While we can’t control every exposure or every risk factor, we can make thoughtful choices about the products we bring into our homes and use on our bodies.
One area worth looking at is the number of unnecessary chemicals and synthetic fragrances we encounter every day.
Think about what you use to clean your home, what you put on your skin, what you use for personal care, and even what fills the air in your home with fragrance.
Here are a few places to start:
Cleaning Products
Consider choosing cleaning products with ingredients you feel comfortable using in your home. doTERRA On Guard and Abode offer options for cleaning and freshening your home, and Lemon essential oil can be a great addition to your cleaning routine.
Fragrance
Fragrance is everywhere, from perfumes and body sprays to lotions, laundry products, candles, and air fresheners. doTERRA essential oils can provide beautifully aromatic alternatives.
Create your own personal blend, use an essential oil diffuser, or explore personal care products made with doTERRA essential oils.
Food Choices
Eating a variety of nutrient rich foods is an important part of supporting overall health. When possible, choose whole foods and give your fruits and vegetables a good wash before eating. On Guard Concentrate or On Guard Foaming Hand Wash are two options for washing produce and helping remove dirt and unwanted residues.
The Products You Use Every Day
Take a look around your home. What are you using every day? What could you replace with a natural alternative? Small changes can add up to a home environment that feels more aligned with the choices you want to make.
And remember, doTERRA essential oils are wonderful tools to have in your wellness toolbox, but they are not a substitute for medical care, and they should not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent cancer or other medical conditions.
Stay informed, work with your healthcare professional for questions, and make choices that feel right for you.
Take care of yourself. Know your body. Know your options. Make informed choices.
