Wellness Guide

Non-Toxic Home
in the USA

A beginner's guide to creating a healthier home environment. I am no expert, but these are the simple changes and trusted brands I recommend to anyone living in the USA.

Introduction

Why a Non-Toxic Home?

"We spend 90% of our time in enclosed environments."

Every product we choose for our home releases chemical substances that we breathe daily. These toxins accumulate in our bodies and can affect our health in the long term.

Conventional mattresses contain toxic foams and flame retardants.
Cleaning products release harmful gases during daily use.
Synthetic textiles are treated with pesticides and aggressive dyes.

Action Plan

Where to Start?

Prioritize Sleep

We spend 8 hours a day in bed. Investing in an organic mattress is the highest impact change.

Filter Water

Drinking water is the foundation. A good filter removes contaminants you ingest and inhale.

Replace Slowly

Don't throw everything away. As products run out, replace them with better options.

Open Windows

The simplest, free way to improve air quality is to ventilate daily for 10-15 minutes.
