Have you ever considered the quality of the air in your home?

Not many of us do, but when we stop to think about it, we can really improve it very easily. According to research our IAQ - Indoor Air Quality - is about 2-5 times more polluted that the air outside! yes, hard to believe, but true.

But why would we want to improve the air quality in our home I hear you ask! Well there are many everyday symptoms that we attribute to other things, but which could very well be due to the quality of the air in your own home environment.

These everyday symptoms can include: Headaches, Dizziness, dryness and irritation of the ears, eyes, nose and skin, shortness of breath, Hypersensitivity and allergies, and sinus congestion.

There are many factors that contribute to poor indoor air quality - some include:

The way you heat your home
How you cook your food
Poor ventilation
Damp
Chemicals in cleaning products
Chemicals in personal use products
Plug Ins and cheap candles
Pets
Air conditioning
Carpets and Rugs

Improving the quality of the air inside our homes is of paramount importance for everyone but especially if there is someone in the home with a lung condition such as asthma or COPD

MY TOP TEN TIPS FOR IMPROVING INDOOR AIR QUALITY - IAQ

Buy beeswax candles, yes they are much more expensive than the cheaper ones, but they do last much longer and they don't emit harsh synthetic chemicals like the cheaper ones can.
Bring the outside in with houseplants - Cheese Plants in particular are well known to purifying indoor air.
Unplug and immediately throw away Plug Ins and aerosol air fresheners which saturate your home with synthetic chemicals which you breath in.
Invest in a good quality diffuser - choose one with a metal mechanism not plastic.
Choose only the very best essential oils to diffuse in your beautiful diffuser - cheap essential oils often are contaminated with synthetics and if you diffuse these you are breathing in the contaminants compared to the beneficial effects of diffusing top grade essential oils like Young Living.
Open your windows, even in winter, for at least 20 minutes every day.
Reduce and eventually eliminate the use of harsh synthetic chemical cleaning products both in the kitchen and bathroom, and replace with non-toxic products.
Outdoor shoes should be left either outside or by the front door and only wear indoor shoes in the house, or slippers or just socks.
Air vents should be cleaned regularly on air conditioning units
Always use the cooker hood over your hob if you have one.

My favourite diffuser is the Feathers the Owl diffuser designed for kids, but loved by adults too!

Serves as a regular diffuser, but also can be used just as night light, without the diffuser. It can play soothing music, the sound of birds or white noise - with or without the diffuser going - it has so many variables - it has ten colour changes which you can choose just one, or have them changing every few seconds - it's absolutely fabulous!

The touch control are his toes -and he comes with a free Lavender oil) :-)

Suzie Webb - Wellness

Welcome to Suzie Webb Wellness.

Hi, I'm Suzie Webb and I've been in the holistic and well being industry for over 36 years - I'm 70 years young! I love learning - I have an unquenchable thirst for learning, and I also love reading, drinking tea, cats, walking, making my own products, and going to the cinema - you can't beat the big screen.

At the end of this story you can read how I started my FAB community - Freedom after Bereavement.

For years I struggled with my weight, my skin and joint pain (from running half marathons!).

I remember feeling embarrassed throughout much of my professional career as a nutrition consultant and clinical aromatherapist at being overweight with poor skin - I felt a fraud! Especially if I was hobbling on and off a stage because of aching knees! I looked and felt 70 when I was only 40!

All those years learning how the body worked and eating a balanced diet and learning the importance of hydration, exercise and relaxation - my weight would not go down and my skin would not improve and my joints still ached - I tried every new diet that came out and every new cream on the market but none worked for me. Or if they did it was short term: I'd lose the weight but it would return, my skin improved but only for a while. I was reluctant to take pharmaceuticals for my aches and pains connecting to my running but couldn't find a natural solution that worked for me.

I wasn't happy with how I looked and dreaded the public speaking appearances which was part of my job so I went into writing and had books published on diet and nutrition and make-up instead - working from home where no one could see me!

One day a friend introduced me to a totally new lifestyle concept I'd never considered before. I was sceptical at first as but I trusted my friend and said I would give it a go. My new lifestyle made me feel amazing. I thought it was coincidence at first - but I had more focus on my work, more energy, my skin was the best it had been for years, my weight stabilised and I was pain free. I was over the moon and brimming with confidence! At last! That was 14 years ago when I was 57. I'm 71 now and the best shape I've ever been.

So now I’m on a mission to empower women – with the knowledge I’ve worked so hard to get myself.

I am not the only person to have lost someone we loved. I was angry when my dad died. Not angry because he'd passed, but angry at people telling me how I should be feeling and telling where I should be on the 7 stages of grieving and telling me it was time to 'move on'. I was angry again when my nephew died in his twenties in a road traffic accident for the same reasons. I was less 'angry' when my husband died as my work involves emotional release, but my intense grief was indescribable.

Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life's biggest challenges. My husband Guy died in December 2018 - we had only been married 12 weeks. Most of the support groups I joined didn't lift me or fulfil my needs. But I found something that really helped me and because of that I started my own group which is called FAB - Freedom after Bereavement. The group is over on my Facebook page - here is the link - and I run regular sessions - both privately and group - using essential oils. Using this technique gave me the strength not to 'move on' but to 'move forward' - with all those I loved still at my side supporting me.

Come and join me and learn how you can take back control of your health with the knowledge and information I share in my exclusive communities.
