The next time you use air freshener, remember you're not breathing in real ocean mist or fresh morning dew...
That rainforest mist, or clean summer day you're spraying around your house is anything but. The smiling lady on TV simultaneously spraying and deep breathing is actually getting a lung full of toxins, like those found in paint! Not only are they bad to breathe in, but there is new evidence showing some fragrances can even have an addictive effect on people.
Commercial air fresheners can also coat nasal passages with an oily film that can diminish our sense of smell. We're better off going with natural deodorizers such as simmering spices, or placing small dishes of baking soda or vinegar with lemon juice around the house which absorbs odors.
