Book Review: Low Tox Life by Alexx Stuart


When my son was little, I remember an instance when he had a terrible earache.  I took him to the doctor and they prescribed ear drops which didn't help at all and honestly made him feel worse.  I decided to take a ride over to a local natural foods and medicine store and spoke to the sales person there to see if there were a natural ear pain solution.  There was, so I decided to buy it and try it out.  After only administering it one time to his ears, he immediately felt no pain.  Honestly, I was amazed and elated.  It made me take a look at how natural ingredients could be a better choice in many of the decisions I make in my life.

Over the years, I often find myself looking for more and more natural ways to care for my home and self, so when I was asked to review Low Tox Life by Alexx Stuart, I was very  interested to read it.

This book goes way beyond what I expected. It is well written and filled with lots of useful information and recipes to create natural remedies for my body and home.

The book is broken down into chapters focused on personal care, face care, makeup, body care,  tooth care, fragrances, laundry and cleaning, home fragrance, how to cut down on waste, minimizing exposure to pollutants in your home, low tox rooms and even talks about clothing.  It also focuses on food with lots of delicious, good for you recipes and even touches on your psyche.

There are big, beautiful, naturally lit photos and easy to make non toxic recipes for things like shampoos, house cleaners, laundry cleaners, makeup, food and more.  It's perfect for anyone looking to make changes for the better in their environment, home and life. It helps to connect all of the little pieces of the puzzle to create a completely low tox life.

  1. I've found that I often get more relief from natural remedies, too. Granted, you have to do your research and sometimes go through several products to find one that truly works, but it can be worth it.
