7 of the best books for easy natural remedies and DIYS for everyday health and wellness supports in all areas of your busy life
Get this. Did you know that an an average day modest estimates have suggested that our bodies are exposed to over 700,000 different toxins - each and every day! Research shows some estimates even say it is not uncommon to be exposed to 2,100,000 toxins on an average day. I don't know about you, but that is CRAZY RIDICULOUS!!! In fact, the estimates go even further to show that the United States is one of the most toxic with an estimation of 70,000 chemicals in commercial use, and many of these chemicals have not even been tested on humans to find out how they will effect the human body and its health. And these chemicals are everywhere! From chemicals in our foods, to the air we breathe, the clothing we wear, the carpet we walk or lay on, even the cleaners we use, the body care products that touch our bodies everyday....the list is nearly endless.
I understand that it is almost impossible to get down to zero toxin exposures in a day, but I do know, from personal experience that you can easily and simply reduce the amount of toxins you and your family are exposed to by what you use in your homes, on your bodies, the medicines you use for health support, even the foods that you eat. Health and wellness is not just about dieting and exercising, about getting enough sleep or reducing your stress levels. Your ultimate health is being downgraded every day by all of the dirty chemicals and toxins that cross our path and we can so easily make a change for the better using natural products and ingredients for our ultimate wellness.
When we first began our wellness journey my first go-to were books. I LOVE to read and to learn new information and I went to those who traveled the natural path before me to learn all that I could. My favorite part is having these books on hand again and again for any time I need a new DIY, cleaning recipe, or a simple herbal remedy to help with an ailment from one of the kiddos. I started with essential oil books because that is where we began our journey, but now knowing how many toxins are in our skin and cleaning supplies, I have also added to my collection of books to keep on hand.
If you want to be proactive in your journey to limit the amount of toxins that you and your family are exposed to, if you want to find a way to provide more natural solutions to your home and health care, and if you want to have easy access to recipes, DIYS, and amazing all natural products that you can integrate every day for your ultimate health and wellness - these books are for you!
If you are just beginning your journey, think about where you want to start. Is it your cleaning products? Your health and wellness support? What about all of those things that you put on your body with hidden toxins in them (shampoos, bath soaps, lotions, etc...) Choose an area you think would be an easy starting place for you and your family and then grow from there. One step at a time, one day at a time.
If you someone who is well into this journey and are loving traveling this path, then I guarantee you will love adding one of these books to your collection too! I absolutely LOVE being able to go to my books, grab a recipe, and make away knowing that everything that goes into that product is 100% natural, toxin-free and supports my family's health and wellness at the same time.

This books was actually one of my first to add to my library! Because our journey started with all things essential oils, I wanted to learn about each of the essential oils out there, what they could do in support of our body and our health, and how I could use them efficiently in our wellness plan.
The information in this book is so detailed and easily laid out. I love that many of the recipes are also so simple and straightforward and easy to use.
I also enjoyed this book because it helped guide me in my decisions of what some of the best oils are to have on hand for our own wellness journey.
If you love essential oils and do not already have a book on hand on DIY recipes you can use in the home - this is a must grab for sure!
This is a more recent addition to my medicine cabinet book list, but I will tell you it is a good grab.
There are so many amazing herbs out there that we have access to, some even grow wild in our yards that we can harvest and use, and many of us have no idea how to use them or how to go about gaining their benefits.
This book walks you through what some of the best herbs are for health and wellness support, ways that you can use them, and great recipes that support your ultimate health and wellness naturally.
Remember that number up top there? 700,000 toxins are flying by us, through us, and on us each and every day. Ugh! That makes me physically cringe. I don't know about you, but I know that that is not a number I want any data showing for my family and I.
This book gives great easy recipes, even for beginners, to make and use for all areas of the home to support your health and wellness journey.
Not only does it cover the home, body care, and wellness recipes, it also application methods, correct dosage information for different age groups, and how to use oils with your beloved pets.
This books is truly a great choice for the beginning essential oil user!
Ok, I absolutely HAD to add this book in on the list! I can slowly trickle all the great information to you one at a time on great tips and tricks for cleaning your home NATURALLY, but here you have it all in one fell swoop.
Believe it or not, integrating CLEAN options into your routine is so crazy easy, it DRASTICALLY decreases the toxins and chemicals you are exposed to, and it smells soooooo much better than the toxic laden stuff you pick up off of the shelf.
I love knowing that the products I use to clean with are not only toxin-free, but safe for my kiddos to be around, and that I can make them again and again as needed. If you are wanting to integrate natural, toxin-free cleaning into your home, this is a great book to have on hand in your natural wellness collection!
This book digs a bit deeper for those of you that have been on this natural journey for a while.
This book dives into great skin options for bath time, such as easy bath bombs and soaps. It also gives recipes for skin care lotions, lip balms, and cleansers.
You will also find creative additions for home cleaning needs like laundry detergent and all purpose sprays.
You can even find a recipe for a homemade natural cough drop for those cold and flu months. So no matter what your health and wellness needs are, you are sure to find a great DIY recipe here in this book to support that need.
Here is another great option for natural cleaning in the home. I seriously can not say enough how much changing our cleaning products in our home has helped our health.
Even something as simple as homemade lemon or orange vinegar can do wonders to clean and remove bacteria naturally.
The best part of this book is that they are using ordinary products that you can easily find off of a supermarket shelf, that are naturally based and derived to give you the tools to support all natural cleaning in your home. AND the recipes are so easy to DIY in your busy schedule!
This book is another great addition for those of you looking to add more herbs easily and naturally into your healthcare.
Believe it or not, many or our man-made over the counter medicines are not good for us. Yes, they help support the ailment, but many are chemically derived.
With herbal remedies you can support your ailments with naturally, easily make them in the comfort of your own home, and know that you are not contributing to that number of toxins we saw that come across our path every day.
With herbal options you not only get the benefit of knowing that it is a natural, chemical free product that supports your health and wellness, but many herbs have multiple benefits all wrapped up in one product. So you are giving your body a variety of health support components all in one product with these great recipes!
