# 27 - ROADMAP TO HEALTH - Laundry Detergent Recipe

You might be surprised what ingredients are in your store purchased laundry detergent! We all purchase and use these products assuming it is safe. However, facts are rising about the ingredients in the detergent that can impact our health in a negative way.

For instance, many laundry detergents contain chemicals that should be avoided for your health, such as:

• Phosphates

• SLS and SLES

• Bleach

• Formaldehyde

• NPE's

• Optical brighteners

• Chemical surfactants

• and much more

These chemicals can cause allergies, skin rashes and possibly even cancer. In addition, the poisons in the detergents are causing havoc in our environment that harm wildlife and ecosystems. Now there are less toxic solutions in your supermarket, but as always the cost is always much higher in price.

Here is a recipe I found on-line and am using for my own use:

• 1 1/2 cups Washing Soda

• 1 1/2 cups Baking Soda (aluminum free)

• 1/2 cup Epsom Salt

• 1/2 cup Natural Salt (Himalayan, Celtic or Dead Sea are just a few options)

• 20 to 25 drops essential oil (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix well

Add your choice of essential oil (optional) and again mix well

Store in an airtight container

Add 1 TBSP per regular wash load of laundry - 2 TBSP for larger load

Enjoy!
