Disinfectant Overkill: How Essential Oils Can Help

Report Warns Against Overuse of Household Disinfectants and Suggests Essential Oils as Alternatives

(ConsumerAffairs.com author: Lisa Wade McCormick) The report by Women’s Voices for the Earth (WVE) — titled “Disinfectant Overkill: How Too Clean May Be Hazardous to Our Health” — cites more than 40 scientific studies that illustrate the health risks associated with chemicals found in kitchen cleaners, handy wipes, and other common cleaning products.

WVE’s report also outlines several “green” alternatives to cleaning products that contain harsh chemicals, including the essential oils of thyme, rosemary, clove, eucalyptus, and oregano.
