Home Enlightenment
Practical, Earth-Friendly Advice for Creating a Nurturing, Healthy, and Toxin-Free Home and Lifestyle
by Annie B. Bond
Have you ever felt nauseated or light-headed after using household detergents? Have you wondered
about safer products? In Home Enlightenment, Annie B. Bond shows a wealth of healthy
alternatives to everyday products.
Home Enlightenment provides a comprehensive reference book on toxic products,
safer alternatives, and resources to live a healthier life. Dividing the products room
by room, Bond describes household cleansers, mattresses, clothing, paint, furniture, and
food that can be toxic. She explains the science behind the toxicity and offers readers
healthy alternatives. For the bathroom, the usually hated room to clean, there are a variety
of natural cleansers. Bond includes homemade recipes for antiseptic bathroom spray, Lavender
antibacterial spray, mirror fog preventer, mirror and window cleaner, tub and tile cleaner,
and mildew cleaner. For those with home offices, Bond shares healthy, eco-friendly alternatives.
Basic tools for home offices include a desk, a chair, paper, pens, a computer, keyboard,
lighting, and a printer. Bond also asks the reader to consider crystals, colors, aromatherapy,
and plants for a healthy environment.
Annie B. Bond knows about toxicity through her own unfortunate, toxic poisoning. In
Home Enlightenment, she shares acquired knowledge that could help families lead
healthier lives. Bond provides a wide range of alternative resources. I found this book
fascinating. Home Enlightenment gave me eco-friendly alternatives as well as
information on unknown toxic products. For a healthier life, keep Home Enlightenment
on your coffee table for easy reference! |
