Confused

Why do some of the holistic practitioners I know still use antibacterial or heavily fragranced soap in their bathrooms? Why are they using Clorox wipes to clean their counters? Why do their floors smell like they were just mopped with SYNTHETIC LEMON SMELLING TOXIC CHEMICALS?!?!?

Ok. Not all of you are doing this. Some of you have got it right. Both of the places in which I practice yoga have got it right (green-friendly hand soap!) My integrative pediatrician’s got it right (green office!) And those of you who sell green cleaning products on the side have probably got it right. But some of you need to do a little tweaking.

Don’t be too embarassed. I understand you probably just didn’t think about it before now.  But know this: I want to keep coming to see you, but when I do, I have to decide between washing my hands and BREATHING!!!!

Oh…and one more thing. Sometimes therapeutic essential oils are not much better for people who are very sensitive. Please keep this in mind as you are treating those of us who are trying desperately to avoid living in a bubble.

Thank you. Rant over.
