VOC cause all sorts of problems in your body: infertility (some of you may like that!), headaches, nervous system disorders, memory loss and cancer for both your pet and you…. lots of things.
i was bummed when i learned about this and unplugged mine. being a packrat i couldn’t bring myself to toss it out and thought, maybe i’ll just plug it in for the holidays and poison my loved ones only a few times a year.
then i had a bright idea:
replace the bad stuff with good stuff: essential oils, which are awesome for you and, sometimes a lot cheaper than the liquid cancer bath and body works sells.
here’s how you do it.
.
remove the wick part (which ironically looks like a cigarette) empty and rinse out the bulb
.
find an oil you like. i chose peppermint because its pretty cheap and it makes my house smell cool and clean. i highly recommend orange, lavender, cinnamon, roman chamomile, clary sage, lemon, rose, grapefruit, jasmine or ylang ylang oil.
.
pour the oil into the bulb
.
i fill it up about 1/3 of the way but it will last lay longer if you do the whole thing.
.
fill the rest of the bulb with water, but not to the top or else inserting the wick with make it spill. put the wick back in the bulb.
.
screw it back into the plug in part and enjoy refreshing, healing air that won’t make your hair fall out.
