Debunking Sunscreen Safety: Research Findings and Dangerous Constituents: Protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays is crucial, but did you know that some sunscreens might do more harm than good? Discover the hidden dangers lurking in your sunscreen bottle and explore safer alternatives for sun protection. Some chemical UV filters, such as oxybenzone and octinoxate, have been investigated for their potential to disrupt hormones, which could contribute to cancer development over prolonged exposure. Ingredients like fragrances, preservatives, and chemical filters in sunscreens can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions, potentially leading to chronic inflammation which is associated with cancer risk. Chemical UV filters like oxybenzone and octinoxate have been linked to coral bleaching and marine ecosystem damage.

Adaptogen Herbs and Essential Oils |

Using Adaptogen Herbs and Essential Oils: Several adaptogenic herbs and essential oils have been shown to improve anxiety symptoms by reducing the effects that stress and cortisol have on the body. Adaptogens (including ginseng, ashwagandga, maca, rhodiola, holy basil and cocoa) are a unique class of healing plants that balance, restore and protect the body and make it easier to handle stress by regulating hormones and physiological functions. Essential oils such as lavender, myrrh, frankincense and bergamot are also capable of reducing inflammation, improving immunity, balancing hormones, and helping with sleep and digestion. | | |
