If you have thyroid issues, avoiding perfumes is a wise choice. Many perfumes contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like phthalates, parabens, and synthetic musks. These can interfere with how your thyroid works by lowering hormone levels or disrupting how your body uses them.
For someone with thyroid problems, even small hormone shifts can cause fatigue, weight changes, and mood swings. Since perfume ingredients are often hidden under the word “fragrance,” it’s hard to tell what you’re really using. Choosing fragrance-free or natural alternatives helps protect your thyroid and supports better health or avoiding them completely would do world of good
Here are few endocrine disruptors we use on a daily basis
Room fresheners,car perfumes, agarbattis, scented erasers,nail polish and perfumes – often contain phthalates and synthetic musks
