Dr Tim Bond – 5 ways to spring clean the air in your home
#1 Keep it clean. Good indoor hygiene can greatly cut down on dust and animal dander. Vacuum any carpets and rugs at least twice a week or opt for hard-surface flooring, as it’s easier to keep clean.
#2 Use Puressentiel Purifying Air Spray with 41 essential oils - proven to improve air quality. It reduces airborne levels of many toxins such as bacteria, fungal spores, mould and debris from house-dust mites, which can trigger respiratory issues and undermine our health. A trial in patients with a history of respiratory symptoms showed significant improvements in lung function just four weeks after using Puressentiel’s Purifying Air Spray.
#3 Don’t hoard. Where you can, clear clutter because it traps and holds dust that can trigger reactions.
#4 Don’t use candles or air fresheners. Many people who think they are improving air quality are actually adding to the problem. More than a quarter of people (29%) use air freshener sprays and a similar number (27%) light candles, but chemicals used in air fresheners can exacerbate asthma and wheezing and burning paraffin candles releases alkanes, alkenes and toluene, which have all been linked to harmful effects to humans.
#5 Let the fresh air in. Open windows from time to time to allow fresh air to move into and around the home.
Puressentiel offers an extensive range of products to help those who are affected by indoor or outdoor allergies. Here’s just a few:
Puressentiel Purifying Air Spray has a unique patented of 41 essential oils. This 100% plant-based purifying room spray has been awarded Best New Product Launch of the Healthy Awards.
Puressentiel Purifying Air Diffusion Blend: Diffusers deliver a steady, sustained release of aromatic essential oils and are ideal for bedrooms, poorly ventilated wet rooms, and toilets. This blend contains 18 oils, including lemon, pine and niaouli — a close relation of eucalyptus and tea tree.
Puressentiel Respiratory Nasal Hygiene Baby Unidoses: Made with a unique blend of Brittany sea water and Calendula extra, Puressentiel’s Respiratory Nasal Hygiene Baby Unidoses offer a quick and easy solution, naturally. They help assist with ear, nose, and throat infections such as colds, allergic rhinitis including hayfever, and nasopharyngitis; a throat disease that’s prevalent in young children. Studies confirm that a saline solution with calendula is far more effective than saline alone.
New Puressentiel Respiratory Decongestant Nasal Spray combines a 100% natural saline solution, organic rosemary floral water plus essential oils of eucalyptus radiata, rosat geranium, niaouli, ravintsara as well as propolis and echinacea extracts. It decreases perennial allergic rhinitis symptoms: obstruction, congestion and nasal discharge and relieves irritated nasal mucous membranes.
An intervention trial using New Puressentiel Respiratory Decongestant Nasal Spray in 32 adults** with a history of nasal congestion caused by allergic rhinitis confirmed benefits across five measures after eight days of use. **32 volunteers - 8 days - Under medical supervision.
