Dream - The air inside the house is actually two to five times more polluted and toxic than the air outside. This is caused by contaminants such as chemicals and toxins from bed sheets, paint, wooden furniture, hair products, nail products, detergents, and other cleaning products. Not only that, even toxic gases such as carcinogens are found in insecticides, glue, shampoo, shaving cream, and carpets. Without us realizing it, we have been living by inhaling polluted air even though we are inside the house. This is certainly very dangerous for our health.
It will be useless if we have done many ways to maintain our health, but it turns out that the cause of health problems itself is very close to us. However, there is no need to worry too much because there is always a solution to every problem. Dream friends can try the 6 natural ways below to help clean the air inside the house. What are the ways?
1. Create More Ventilation
Humidity is a major problem that affects air quality indoors. The more humid a room is, the lower the air quality inside it. To overcome this, maximize air circulation by increasing ventilation.
One part of the house that requires a lot of ventilation is the kitchen. This is because cooking, especially when using a gas stove, can be a source of air pollution in the form of nitrogen dioxide indoors. This gas can be very dangerous if inhaled by us.
If it is not possible for Dream companions to create more ventilation in the house, use a fan that functions to remove pollutants outdoors. Also, don't forget to stop using room humidifiers to prevent the growth of mold and moss.
2. Use Beeswax
Like to light scented candles inside the house? If so, try to be more selective. Dream friends should avoid using candles that come from petroleum, as this will release carcinogenic chemicals called benzene, toluene, and soot into the air.
"As an alternative, you can use beeswax candles. Besides being more economical as they burn slowly and nearly smokeless, beeswax also has other benefits such as ionizing the air and neutralizing toxic compounds, eliminating dust, and even soothing the breathing of asthma sufferers. Let's start using this candle, Dream friends!"
3. Use Salt Lamp
There are other natural ways that are equally powerful, namely salt lamps. According to Manoj K. Ahuja, a Radiology Expert, products made from salt crystal are able to reduce irritation, pathogens, and allergens caused by moisture in the air. In fact, indoor toxins can be trapped and neutralized by this lamp.
Not only does salt lamp have many benefits, it also looks beautiful when displayed on a work desk or bedroom. Dream friends can also leave it on at night, because the natural orange light will not disturb your sleep hormone.
4. Use Activated Charcoal
"Who would have thought, black carbon residue or what we know as charcoal is also included as a natural air purifier?"
In addition to being odorless, charcoal is known to have a high absorption capacity and is very effective in removing toxins from the air. This is because the millions of pores in charcoal are able to absorb these harmful particles.
5. Tanamah
Just like salt lamps, ornamental plants are not only beautiful when displayed, but also the best way to combat indoor pollution.
According to research conducted by NASA, certain plants can purify and rejuvenate the air indoors, such as in a closed space like a house. In fact, plants are capable of protecting us from the side effects of exposure to toxins such as ammonia, formaldehyde, and benzene.
6. Use Essential Oils
"When Dream Friends use essential oils such as cinnamon, oregano, rosemary, thyme, lemon, cloves, and tea tree, contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, and even fungi will not be able to survive."
A study from Weber State University in the United States shows that a mixture of pine needle oil, cinnamon, thyme, eucalyptus, lemon, and bali orange can eliminate 99.96% of bacteria in the air. Therefore, by using this oil, your home will be free from germs and have clean air. Report by Marha Adani Putri/ Source: Food NDTV.
