Hand Sanitizers The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Bacteria

We are all so use to products with alcohol in them as we think alcohol kills everything and yes you are right! Think about what alcohol does to the inside of your body, why would it be any different on the outside?

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are effective at keeping microorganisms at bay and preventing bacteria from getting into your system that can make you sick, "However, over sanitizing your hands can strip them of all germs good and bad.

Your immune system actually uses germs to build its own strength - your body needs to be introduced to germs in order for your immune system to know how to defend itself from invaders.

"Using hand sanitizer with alcohol too often kills all microorganisms, including the harmless ones that help your immune system, Although you may be sanitizing your hands with the best of intentions in mind, over-sanitizing your hands can actually increase your risk of getting sick by not allowing your body to be exposed to bacteria and germs.

This is why we created natural sanitizer products that use natural ingredients to kill bad germs, sanitize and keep your skin moist without drying to further create more problems.

So what should you do?

"First and foremost, hand sanitizer should be used as a backup tool to hand washing, "You should be washing your hands regularly and only using hand sanitizer when soap and water aren't available."

In other words, hand sanitizers shouldn't replace hand washing, but rather as a supplement to washing your hands.

How essential oils used in this blend work:

Science and Application of essential oils.

Essential oils and human blood share several common properties: They fight infection, contain hormone like compounds and initiate regeneration. Working as the chemical defense mechism of the plant, essential oils possess potent antibacterical, antifungal and antiviral properties. This similarity goes even deeper, essential oils have a chemical structure that is similar to the human cells and tissues. This makes essential oils compatible with human protein and enables them to be readily identified and accepted by the body.

Essential oils have a unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and diffuse throughout the blood and tissues. The unique lipid-soluble structure of essential oils is very similar to the makeup of our cell membranes. The molecules of essential oils are also relatively small, which enhances there ability to penetrate into the cells.When topically applied essential oils can travel throughout the body in a matter of minutes.

Essential oils used in this blend have been documented to be highly effective against several different types of viruses and are antiviral which inhibits the growth of virus.
