For Tender Lungs

Bodha_Smokeless_Incense

Like all of you I'm more concerned with lung health at the moment so I wanted to share some ways to keep the air in your home as clean as possible. Air purity comes from a combination of increasing the amount of clean air in your home while also reducing the addition of indoor pollutants.

Increase clean air

  • open the windows, unless outdoor air pollution levels are high - we use this global monitor  to check on local levels

  • reduce your use of gas stoves as much as possible - a recent study found they can make your air up to 5 times dirtier

  • add more indoor plants which act as natural air purifiers or use an electronic air purifier with a HEPA filter.


Reduce indoor pollutants

  •  Use smokeless incense, diffuse essential oils or light a beeswax candle to scent your space 

  • Fine misting cleaning or beauty sprays are easily inhaled so opt for organic, naturally scented or unscented where possible.
