Ditch the Dryer Sheets

Dryer sheets have been linked to cancer for quite some time. For me, they were a major trigger for migraines without realizing it. The chemicals from the dryer sheets are not just on our clothes, but sheets, towels, and undergarments. Think about it just for a moment, the sheets come out of the dryer and onto the bed where you lay your head, inhaling the all the remnants the dryer sheet left behind. Our skin is our largest organ. Our pores open after the shower and we use a towel that has been repeatedly dried with dryer sheets to dry off. Again, our skin soaks up the chemicals on that towel and we continued to be effected by the dryer sheets. I noticed a difference in our family once the dryer sheet (and fabric softener) was removed completely. If you still want a fresh scent add a drop or two of essential oil to the wool ball. Make sure you do your homework on the purity of that essential oil, some are just as toxic as the dryer sheet. I trust doTERRA for their 100% purity standard. Our laundry comes out smelling clean, crisp and zero toxicity.
