Hello all,



Household cleaning sprays and air fresheners may well be to blame for the high rates of asthma across Europe.

Use of the sprays on a regular basis increased the risk of developing the disease by between 30 to 50 per cent, a study of 3,500 people in 10 European countries including the UK has found. Even occasional use as little as once a week increased the risk. Air fresheners, furniture sprays and glass cleaners were found to have the strongest effect. Liquid cleaners and polishes had no effect.

The findings come from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey, one of the world's largest studies of lung disease. They are published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

Previous research has shown that professional cleaners have increased rates of asthma but it is the first time that domestic cleaning has also been shown to create a risk.

So what to do? basically get rid of all the cleaners and air fresheners from your house (especially the spray ones) theyre full of toxins that are bad for your immune system.

Replace the cleaning and washing up products with Lillys or Eclover products – these contain all natural components, and work!

Freshen the air with essential oils. Find a few you like and place a couple of drops in a bowl of hot water, or get one of them candle/evaporator things that will burn the oils for you. Incense and scented candles can be good but the majority of the ones on the market today are full of toxic chemicals – so be selective with them, only get good quality ones.
