Polyester/plastics take 400+yrs to completely decompose. Eep!
That's why I help my clients detox the impacts of modern life. VIP!

Especially at this time of year, it could be the most important thing you do --- take notice what's in your home, and what you are buying for gifts.... these 'every day products' could e really doing far more damage than you realise!

- Perfumes and colognes​

- Aftershaves and body sprays​

- Deodorants and antiperspirants​

- Soaps, body washes, and hand washes​

- Shampoos , conditioners​, masks

- Skin creams and lotions​

- Laundry detergents, fabric softeners, dryer sheets​

- Dishwashing detergents and capsules

- Household cleaners, garbage liners

- Diffuser sticks, air fresheners​

- Scented candles and liners

WHY ARE THESE A PROBLEM?

🫢 Synthetic fragrances create chaos in your body!

YOUR BODY (and the bodies of those beings around you, including animals, kids, friends, family, co-workers, microbiomes and much more) are impacted in usually covert, silent ways ...

Of course some people are allergic, get hayfever and headaches...

🙀But the silent ones are deadly over time...

It's the effects that synthetic fragrance has on our hormones especially.

They mimic, block, or alter hormone function, resulting in hormonal imbalances affecting ALL OF THEM... including the big players like oestrogen, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol

This is our growth and development.

Our reproductive health.​

Our stress response.

So the take-home point is this ...

endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), such as parfum or perfume, are linked to a myriad of health issues, including;

- various forms of cancer
- premature puberty
- obesity/weight gain
- diabetes
- hyper and hypothyroidism
- immune system interference
- mental health disorders
- increased allergies
- respiratory conditions
- skin sensitivity

👶KIDS are ESPECIALLY affected!!!

In Australia it is reported that one in three adults experiences skin or respiratory symptoms after exposure to fragranced products. If adults are reacting, imagine the impact on newborns and children with their developing skin, lungs, microbiomes, nervous and immune systems ... they are at even greater risk.

🧐So... what can you do?

Your money matters! Your voice matters!

😍Sharing this post matters!

Especially as Christmas fast approaches...

Please - opt for products with simple, recognisable ingredients, and avoid labels listing "fragrance", "parfum", as this just translates to 'toxic chemicals that harm your body''.... they can legally hide 100's of ingredients in one word on the label!

If possible, switch out conventional personal care, cosmetic, and household products for certified organic, natural, toxin-free, or eco-labelled alternatives.

I'd love to hear about your favourite options!
Please comment with your top choices :)

💯 Fact - YOUR BODY FINDS SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCE STRESSFUL

Synthetic fragrances are artificially manufactured compounds that lack sufficient safety data - and please know that allergies, sensitisation and pigmentation issues are just scratching the surface... the more significant and conveniently ignored issues include ENDOCRINE DISRUPTION.

This is important to know. Why? Well.... Our endocrine system is our body’s signaling and messenger pathways of hormones. All of them. Testosterone, oestrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, cortisol, etc.

Because our hormones influence all parts of us, it makes sense that endocrine disrupting chemicals - like ARTIFICiAL FRAGRANCES - are linked to all different types of health concerns. You may be personally impacted by some of these? They include (but are not limited to);
- loss of fertility
- reproductive health concerns
- sexual identity (there are scientific reports showing EDCs may have effects on human sexual identity FROM THE TIME OF CONCEPTION related to hormonal programming in utero)
- various forms of cancer
- premature puberty
- obesity/weight gain
- diabetes
- hyper and hypothyroidism
- immune system interference
- mental health disorders

The effects of EDCs can extend to all other systems of the body. This could be your NERVOUS SYSTEM , via neurotransmitter interference, blood–brain barrier dysfunction, even neurodegenerative disease, and cardiovascular systems (hypertension, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis).

Want a bit more of an explanation?

An endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), such as parfum or perfume, can impact the endocrine system in various ways, including:

Disrupting hormone production and elimination
Interfering with hormone signaling by either activating a receptor through binding or blocking access to the receptor site
Disturbing the hormonal signaling pathway after receptor activation
Affecting or overexpressing transport proteins that facilitate hormone movement within the body

Additionally, EDCs may speed up the elimination of free hormones, resulting in reduced hormone activity in the body. There is also a potential for hindering the removal process, leading to an excess of hormones beyond normal levels.

Many fragrance-related chemicals are lipophilic (fat-soluble), leading to accumulation in fat cells and increasing the body's overall toxic load over time, changing us as we age... we become more susceptible to more toxins (and, let's face it, humans have made A LOT so far!)
Oxidative byproducts and secondary pollutants (such as formaldehyde and ultrafine particles) can persist in indoor environments and further burden detoxification pathways.
So - to me, anyway, and perhaps now to you? - it makes sense that avoiding or minimising all synthetic fragrances will support you, and help you thrive!

Natural fragrances are fabulous! Sourced from botanicals like essential oils, they have a long and helpful history in human life.. Other gifts could include water filtration machines, LED Light therapy (I have awesome ones, check them out on my website BTW), electrolytes (a really great electrolyte balance will actually help you detox better and faster, if you use my name at checkout at Aussie Trace Minerals you receive 10% Off - the code is PIAKYNOCH10) , perfume free skincare (I use and stock DERMAVIDUALS, reach out if you want some!)

So tell me - what gifts are you giving this Christmas??

Curcumin has incredible benefits, especially when you combine it with black pepper, cinnamon and/cumin (these additions help our body use it better!)

Here where I live ( ) it grows abundantly, and we're so appreciative, as you can see in our golden smiles 😆

Curcumin has so many benefits










Perfect in hot water (I added cinnamon, pepper, cardamom, garlic and honey!), and of course it's PERFECT in curries, soups and smoothies.

Beware of staining 😂😂
I had yellow hands for days!!!

Earthy goodness! Harvested, washed, dried, chopped, grinded, stored, consumed, and enjoyed!

Do you grow and/or use turmeric?
What's your favourite way to enjoy it?

Brain feeling out of sync more often than not? Rhythmic brain function is controlled by light & the circadian system...

New article in the APJ Journal! You can check it out now -
https://apjournal.org/journals

and, as I am just about to record a class on Cancer, Skin and Emotions, you might also be interested to know this....

1. Fascia supports, divides, penetrates and connects all the districts/parts of our body, and is intimately involved in our emotional landscape

2. Being dehydrated, stiff immobile affects fascia (and our emotions!).... extracellular matrix stiffness, alignment, and porosity may influence cancer growth

3, Bioelectrical parameters are involved in cancer initiation and metastasis... as are mitochondrial functional changes. Both are intimately connected to fascia..

4, Mitochondria function changes in response to fascia/ECM signalling and stiffness ...

5. and both our fascia AND mitochondria respond to touch, sound, movement, hydration, light...

Imagine fascia as a vast, semi-conductive web of collagen threads intricately woven throughout your body,

linking every structure with a seamless, connected COLLECTIVE intelligence.

As skin therapists, we understand that fascia is not just a static tissue; it’s alive with viscoelastic and polymorphic qualities, and it holds a piezoelectric potential akin to the magic of quartz crystals.

"liquid crystals are matter in a state that has properties between those of conventional liquid and those of solid crystal. For instance, a liquid crystal may flow like a liquid, but its molecules may be oriented in a crystal-like manner. Examples can be found both in technological applications, as most electronic displays use liquid crystals (LCD), and in the natural world such as silk, DNA, collagens, proteins and cell membranes."

When we apply pressure, touch, sound healing, the dynamic fascia network responds. It generates an electrical charge, akin to a gentle spark, which travels effortlessly through the body (especially if the body is well hydrated with adequate electrolytes!) .

This charge we create internally has the power to restore and rejuvenate, replenishing areas that have lost their vital electrical energy.

Consider, too, how the gentle waves of sound (breath, vocals, music) can resonate through these quantum fascia highways (when I say quantum it is because fascia can work with tiny particles like electrons and protons!), revitalising and electrifying the connection OF US, the connectivity of our fascial web comes back on line.

I view the work I do as highly aware and conscious of this - the dance of energy and healing is very real, and the science of fascia is a perfect reminder of the profound connection between touch, sound, movement and body.

We thrive in CONNECTION :)

I help train therapists' and clinics - reach out if you know there is more to treatments, and I will share and show you many amazing ways :)
