In my clinic I do not allow fragrances. Cleaning products, candles, perfumes… they are full of them.

There has been some hurt feelings in my clinic over this… mostly because people have no clue how toxic fragrances are.

I’ve had new employees start and find out day one, don’t come soaked in perfume, it’s not allowed.

I recently had a therapist bring in a candle that was smelling up the entire building, it had to go.

These fragrances (unless natural) are horrible for your endocrine system (hormones).

Dryer sheets, detergents, shampoos, conditioners, beauty products, cleaners… everything is full of toxic fragrances.

When I smell fragrances, I think TOXIC CHEMICAL.

The reason this is such a big deal clinically for me is because I take care of many sick people who become very sensitive that fragrances.

The smell of a fragrance can easily trigger a headache or even an immune response. The more chemically toxic your body is, the more sensitive you will be.

For adults, you should detox to reduce your toxic load.
For children, just keep this away from them.

Stay Healthy! Dr. Z
