You haven’t been feeling well for a very long time. You just don’t have the energy you used to have, your allergies seem to act up all the time, your headaches have become chronic, your joints and muscles hurt most of the time for no reason, and sometimes you have this tight feeling around your chest for no apparent reason. You’ve gone to your doctor, who ran some basic blood work, and told you nothing was wrong, you don’t have Mono, you don’t have Lyme’s Disease, etc. You think you’re crazy, but on a deeper level, you know you’re not making this stuff up, you really do feel terrible. You continue searching for a diagnosis, maybe even going to a holistic doctor or an environmental physician. Neither of these doctors think you’re crazy. Instead, you’re diagnosed with Multiple Chemical sensitivity, also called MCS. Now you need to know what is MCS, how did you get it, and what can you do to feel better?
Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) is a medical condition characterized by debilitating chemical sensitivities. This is a very difficult diagnosis to make, and should only be diagnosed by a trained physician, such as an environmental physician. Multiple chemical sensitivity, or MCS, as it is sometimes referred to, is still under debate for some in the medical communit. Some doctors question whether it exists, while others acknowledge that this is a medical disorder triggered by exposures to chemicals in the environment. This often begins with a short-term, severe chemical exposure, such as a chemical spill, including household cleaners, or a longer-term low level exposure, such as a poorly ventilated office, vapors or skin exposure from your weekly used home cleaning products, perfumed body care products & perfumes.

I'm looking forward to helping you get "on with living" in a happy, healthy, chemical and pain-free way as I, my family and our pets have.
Each day, more and more people are unknowingly exposed to toxic chemicals through their personal care products and household cleaning products. In our homes we find ourselves applying these products which contain toxic ingredients to our skin, the largest organ in our bodies. And we are breathing the scent and fumes from household cleaning products, further exposing our bodies to toxic ingredients that affect our health in very negative ways.
We all want our homes and workplaces to smell good. We subconsciously let scents directly affect our mood. Typically, this is a good thing, except when we are inhaling toxic cancer causing chemicals disguised as innocent air fresheners. Many health hazards were discussed in part 2 of this series. If you have not yet read it, I encourage you to do so before reading about the safe, organic, non toxic choices below. 
it is only just the beginning!
Perfume making is an art. Some may have a natural talent for combining different plant scents, while others may need to work at it a bit. Probably the most important thing is to have a nice assortment of Young Living Essential Oils on hand and a desire to learn this age old art. The benefit of using superior quality essential oils in your perfume mixtures is that they are far more than mere scents, there’s therapy in that aroma!
