- Find more information about air fresheners and the dangers of synthetic scents on my website here: draxe.com/dangers-synthetic-s...
Air fresheners wreck indoor air quality and are a cocktail of harmful and artificial chemicals and fragrances. The chemicals used in most air fresheners are linked to cancer, asthma, headaches and more.
In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, I discuss the natural air freshener options to freshen up unpleasant odors. If you use conventional air fresheners such as scented plug-ins, scented candles or car vent fresheners, tune in to find the natural alternatives.

The only problem about sprinkling baking soda in your car is convincing the cops that its just baking soda
😂😂😂😂 now that was funny!!
Yes, yes yes! I wish more of my friends would hear this so I don't feel sick when we hang out!
i always complain about those freshners, and let them know how nasty they are. I try to shed a little light here and there
I can't hang out with anyone anymore because I've become so overwhelming sensitive to those chemicals. One small exposure confines to bed for 3 weeks straight blinding migraine.
@@nancyangelwolf wow i’m so sorry. I am very sensitive to chemicals and smells. Have a migraine but it lasts a day. So sorry for you having 3 weeks of it!!!
I started to question air freshener months ago. I stopped because it seemed not natural. Good to know my thought is backed up with facts!! Thank you
Tiffany Weber good to know your intuition can tell you this! Hope you share this vid. !

I do a lot of the things you suggested and have moso bamboo charcoal bags as well from rejuvenair that are great :) I truly appreciate you spreading health, wellness and healing. God bless!
I’m glad you were the first I taped on this topic. My bedroom gets very stuffy in the winter and very hot summer days so I’m definitely gonna try some points you made that I’m not already doing.
Good points! Isn't it better the way our grandparents lived; simple, natural and cheap!
Well said 👌
Probably
Yeah, actually we should have never left the Stone Age...
A lot of grandparents houses had an “old person” or mothball smell
Great video. Really appreciate you including alternatives and giving a concise explanation for each.

My vet says essential oils are bad for cats and their livers can’t metabolize some of the compounds in essential oils. Just a precaution for those using these oils around pets.
suzypenguin
Lol! What about your own brain, did you forget that at home when going to the vet ? Perhaps a little spray or Lysol around your cat is better than essential oils? Oooh humanity......so lost so gone! Bcz listening to medical Drs has paid off for people as yet. ;)
@@thebestcommentary788 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video! Been using these cancer fresheners nearly my whole life. Keep on waking us up man!!!
Thanku
Please can you list some of your sources for these claims? I have read other articles that claim that candles and air fresheners are harmful but its very hard to find peer reviewed articles that they reference
Thank you! I had recently bought a plug in air freshener, about 10 minutes after I had this plugged in, I started coming around websites and videos stating they have chemicals. It made me really worried so I brought it back I’m glad I just discovered this👍
Thanks, Dr. Axe - do you recommend aloe vera as well to clean indoor air?
3:36 you can also use a steam carpet cleaner too. I also use baking powder with my cats litter box ^^
Thanks
Solid information Sir ; You Just Save Me 💥💥
Omg I wish I new this before ! I just develop a really bad rash in my hands and arms after using febreze spray two weeks later still having itching and very dry skin 😢
Great video!!! Definitely trying some of these tips.... I’ll take a spider plant instead of red roses for Mother’s Day 😄
This is why I stopped using candles years ago and diffuse essential oils instead. At most I mix 2 scents. Even organic candles don't smell natural when they start mixing 4+ scents together.
Hello Dr. Is it okay to sniff on tea tree oil? I'm obsessed with as well with the eucalyptus. I also noticed that when I use tea tree oil on a diffuser I get headaches. What is your opinion? Thank you.
you are the best dr josh.
For the mold removal you can get three cloths
1st one clean up mold with it
2nd wet it with white vinegar and clean the spot with it
3 cloth with olive oil and and. clean it up and u will never see a mold again
never use the bleach anywhere home
Amazing
Hi Dr. Axe, what is your opinion on the Himalayan salt lamps? Some sources say it's a fad, and it would be nice to have your input. I'm unsure
Hi brother; thanks for the info.
Do you have videos talking about
Using air conditioners; having them in all the rooms of the house/apt or even just having 1 in any room
Also using colognes and perfumes
What do you think about Arm and Hammer's baking soda based carpet freshener?
Thank you very much Dr. Axe for sharing these useful information.
I use a Himalayan Salt Lamp
Careful. They're dangerous to cats.
Had to move from a high-rise senior apartment facility, because of apartment managers liberal use and promoting residence use of toxic air fresheners throughout the high-rise facility. Toxic fresheners that aggravated my own health issues as well as my Service K9s health ending in her death. An apartment complex managed by a part time staff that was rarely available to deal with apartment residence daily complaints fairly.
I’ll take some air cleaning plants instead of flowers for Mother’s Day 😄 🌿
Hi, what's the best scent of essential oil to use in my car? Something that energizes, keeps you focused and reduces stress/road rage. Thanks!
Peppermint will help you stay awake. Expecting other people to drive badly will help with road rage. Anger comes from things we cannot control.
what about FRAGRANCE DIFFUSER MUSK sticks ? are they ok to use ?
Good tips. I keep reading however, how toxic some essential oils are to pets,even when diffused. So maybe look into that first..
What are some natural shampoos?
i need a natural one for my car what do you use dr axe
Can you do a video on what essentials oil are safe for dogs and all pets.
You can learn more here: draxe.com/essential-oils/essential-oils-for-pets/
Is it true that if you have inddor and outdoor allergies you should keep windows closed during allergy season and use air ionizers?
I just started using PooPouri before I poop.
I'm sharing this ,people need to realize chemicals are dangerous for I can tell when I'd inhale various product by the way my chess felt.I use a lot natural and want to try what the doctor said.I even made a cleaner:use either orange or lemon peel in a glass jar,canning I preferred. I filled the jar with either or ,or I mixed them then fill up with vinegar put top on it.Let the jar sit for 2 ,I did 3 weeks.Using a strainer pour out the liquid add 1/2 water and pour in spray bottle
Even still. There's so many chemicals in everything we use and touch, it's almost impossible to stay away from it. No wonder cancer rates seem to be higher and there's so many more people with mental and physical problems
They do not use bleach on black mold! It actually makes it worse. Some people are very sensitive to essential oil, that needs to be said.
Where do you get the plant?....Vinigar stinks😣I get headaches Evan from oils😣
Air fresheners are bad for people and pets. Thanks for this video.
Dr. Josh where can I find Orange Essential Oil, ??? Waiting for that NEW VIDEO On Essential Oils, and what brand and where to get them,,, Thank You you are a World of Great Healthy Information.!!!
Sir David Haddon young living has good quality orange EO! I can send you a link?
Doterra
The brands already mentioned are good, plus Plant Therapy, Eden's Garden, and NOW.
you realize the limenine reacts with ozone in the air to for formaldahyde whether you get the limenine from an air freshener or citric essential oil right?
Unfortunately I only got 89th view
We want more replacement products dr. Make sure you fill em up pls
Love your videos, wanted to know are essential oils safe to diffuse in a room with pets??
Peg Innam many essential oils are toxic for pets, especially cats and birds. 🐱🐶
No! Please do your research. I no longer use my diffuser because my cat had a bad reaction.
I don’t think is safe, careful
Jen Price q
Research the ones that are harmful and avoid them. even so if you diffuse a small amount always make sure the animal has an outlet to leave the room if it bothered them. there afre a lot that are totaly safe to diffuse. there are lines made by Young Living for example called Animal Scents where those are safe for pets, diluted and can be usedaround them and on them.
I use plug-in fresheners for one week and I have shortness of breath along with migraine... I have removed them all today, how is recovering from this?
Just found out i am now allergic to them. I have asthma and some one sprayed it on me at work almost had asthma attack
Please someone tell me how to throw a mold spray away! It has lots of liquid in it, and I don't think I can just put it in a garbage bin, but I don't wanna drain the liquid down the pipe/sewege system and want it to go to the river near the house either...(that'd be bad for the environment)
What's the best way to dispose of it?
What are the best natural Essential oil’s? I want to purchase but find myself going in circles when looking for ones that are all natural and how they extract it I don’t know what is best.
G Wal I'm a YLEO LOVER!!
You might want to look at Natural Health News.Good luck!
Young Living Essential Oils
Hi Dr Josh.
Is shortening good for body , or which oil is good for body .thank you.
Shared on Facebook. Can you tell me where I can get a nice diffuser like the one you showed in the video? I’ve had several diffusers but they never worked that well and then they usually quit altogether
I hate Uber Cabs which have Air Freshner in them it always gives me a headache
Oh my, I got Little Trees in my car and I felt some effects. It felt like I couldn't breathe, I coughed a lot when I came to a stop at Kohl's today. I felt better after I was lookin' around in the store for 20 minutes, but after I got back in my car, the effects returned. I took in little amounts of air to avoid inhalin' a huge amount of the smell which might be toxic, but I'm gonna get rid of my vent air fresheners tomorrow.
that is wild but not surprising you were able to feel those effects. some poeple dont even sense it while other who turned to the natural route have experience such benefits from using the alternatives
Hi, how I can clean that poison of air refresher already in our blood, please, because I heard from a scientific program in the radio that those chemicals in our blood are not possible to be out again, is it true sir..? Please I need your help in this regard, thank you very much.. I,m Abdullah.
I believe he has videos on detoxifying the body. If not there are others that do on YT
sewawearofdajew thank you, but til now I’m not sure about air refresher poisons..?🙂👍
You're THE BEST! Dr. Axe!! Thank You for that voodoo that You Do!....ok, ok, no voodoo but just the opposite! Thanks again for all your insights! ; o )
My landlord is rather insistent upon using an enzyme-based fogger to deodorize the whole apartment house that I live in. When I read the MSDS on the chemicals in there, it's like WOW I'd better take a two week vacation the day before he sets this off!! Does anyone know of a NON-TOXIC alternative to these horrible smoke bombs to get rid of a variety of awful odors like skunk and rotting animals in various parts of the house making this place unrentable? He did, however, give me a few days to give him an alternative to the typical stuff he's planning to use. Help, anyone please?
You can try using an air purifier,these things are able to clean the air inside of an apartment,house,etc.They remove smoke,bacteria,many pollutants,and give you clean air.
Hey I’m 17 I have high blood pressure (193/120) and insulin resistance I exercise 2 or more hours a day and I really need an exercise and meal plan that will help my health, is there any tips from anyone or any recommendations to people I can contact
I also suffer migraines
Spiderautumn14 Im praying for you. Dont eat pork or red meat! Drink alot of water.cut out sodas and caffeine.
Spiderautumn14 Try to find a homeopathic doc if your insurance covers it. He won't give you personal advice on here due to individual needs/ factors and avoiding litigation. Good luck tho.
Thanks for the post, but essential oils are not so brilliant especially using a diffuser, check up on research that tells us diffusers and some essential oils promote asthma and lung problems. On another plus note my indoor diffuser and airlock freshners are heading for the bin.
Use hydrogen peroxide in your diffuser it's helpful with asthma. And gives you more oxygen❤
If these things are so hazardous, then why are they being sold 🤔
👌👍
If those commercial freshers are so toxic, why are they even allowed to be on the market??
Why is this Like the only video on airfresheners??? They are the cigarette for everything that moves! health nuts need to talk about air fresheners more, they snuck their way into half the businesses in the US, not to mention homes. With exception of some areas in the states where intelligence is higher, California to be one of them, sad to know so many people are ASLEEP on this issue.
P
how are these poisons allowed on the market?!?!
Simple.... just label it "fragrance"
How would a beeswax candle create negative ions? It doesnt make sense
Not my wax melts, I love my wax melts. :(
DA Roberts yes those too.
Damn, seeing you after a year, you look a little older.
Then why specifically can they still sell these synthetic scents if what you say is a fact???? ??????????? ??????????? ???????????? ?????????? Or is what you say here fact???? ????? If it's a fact, how can they legally sell them if they'd lose lawsuits???? ?????????????????????
VideoGrabBag seriously ?
Answer is bcz idiots like to spend money on things they are told they need by the media and advertizing even if they are killing everyone. Remember cigarettes? Copper IUDs, Ford Pintos, Gallbladder removals, the neverending list goes on.....
It is not illegal to be a capitalist and making a living and help the economy. And consumers like shortcuts, which is why they choose to buy.
Why does this guy refer to himself as "Doctor" . He doesn't have a classic MD
Thank you for the great information. (But you say "as well" too much". Very irritating to listen to.)
How does this guy know this stuff? Did he spend Mills out of pocket to do research? He is one of those fools getting rich of nonsense videos on TH-cam
adonis balladares bahahahahahahahh! Everyone with a half brain knows this. Poor you
