Unlike the foods that we eat and the beauty products we put on our bodies, we probably do not analyze the health factors of one of the most intimate spaces in our homes - our beds.
Our beds should be a safe haven for our body, mind and soul.
We spend more time wrapped in our sheets than with the clothes we wear.
During the journey of conventional cotton into a fabric, numerous toxic chemicals are added at each stage of growing, processing, dyeing and handling.
These are:
- pesticides
- fertilizers
- silicone waxes
- harsh petroleum scours
- softeners
- heavy metals
- flame and soil retardants
- fasteners
- ammonia
- dyes
- colourants
To name just a few...
And it is these toxic substances that make their way into our bodies, our bloodstream and lymphatic systems while we sleep.
We breathe in the toxic cocktail into our skin and bloodstream when we sleep forcing our immune systems to fight an uphill battle.
