Get Started with a Home Detox for Better Health
Honor Your Sensitivity to Your Home
When you begin to honor your intolerance to exposures, you begin to make the invisible toxicants visible, and that’s a superpower. Braving the truth of how chemicals, heavy metals, and EMFs affect our health paves the way for safer products to end up in our homes. At Artisan Home Health, we look at this fourth pillar of health—the health of our home—as a public health necessity, and you are an essential part of this purposeful work in the world. As you trailblaze this new path, here is what to keep in mind and remember:
Trust your experience and the relationship between products and your health—don’t let anyone dismiss you on this nontoxic journey, and vote with your wallet because what you do, eat, and buy affects legislation and changes the marketplace.
When you’re living with a chronic illness, your health becomes your number one priority.
Your immunity often becomes a reflection of your environment and you do everything you can to reduce toxic exposures and lessen your body burden so you can be the healthiest version of you possible. But there’s only so much we can do on our own so having the right support system can help us explore how to prioritize toxicants and often sparks a home detox! We know what this nontoxic journey is like, and we’re certainly here to help you along the way.
Have a Say in Your Health at Home
Once you start to become aware of toxicants in your home, it is easy to become overwhelmed. But here’s what we have to say about that—if you start with just one small change at a time it’s an act of empowerment that allows you to have a say in your home being a healing space.
You have likely already met the threshold of exposure to toxicants, and you are likely more sensitive to your environment at this point, noticing everything that’s around you. Your sensitivity however is of value and an asset—you are able to shine a light on how toxicants affect us and why it’s so important to be mindful of how we treat our bodies and value our health.
We never know when the next tipping point will arrive and our health will become compromised so we need to trust our own intuition as a starting place. Just start to notice if you feel differently after being around fragrance, EMFs, or any other trigger, and let that be your starting place.
Oftentimes, people will go room by room and prioritize what needs to be looked at with a home detox. Sometimes, it’s the bedroom since we spend the most time there, and that might mean you eliminate synthetic fragrance or EMFs in this space. Sometimes, people prioritize based on the toxicant, so if the main concern is chemicals in cleaning supplies, you might want to do a mini kitchen detox. Any place you start is a good place to start, as it’s an investment in healing and trusting yourself when you likely have not been believed along your journey thus far.
Get Started on Your Nontoxic Living Journey
As artisans of nontoxic living, we get to design our lives, and we can curate our own detoxes. We prioritize home detox, as well as room-by-room detoxes, for clients based on a tiered system that works so you can have the nontoxic lifestyle you’ve been dreaming about.
We start by understanding your goals and needs so we can create a tailored and customized approach-a specific-for-you Blueprint for Nontoxic Living. In other words, a blueprint for health is already waiting for you if you’re ready to get started. This roadmap can be targeted for one toxicant at a time or one room at a time—designed with the intention to maximize the health benefits in your daily life. We meet you where you are and help you make small changes that matter.

Years ago, it was common for coal miners to send canaries into the mines to see if carbon monoxide was too toxic to enter. Those canaries were an early warning sign of danger, and their sensitivity saved many lives. If you are living with a chronic illness, it is likely that you are like the canary—you are unique and essential in your ability to make what is often invisible, visible.
