Affordable Solutions for a Healthier Home
Creating a modern sanctuary of health and well-being doesn't have to be complicated or costly. At Kali Rose Organics, we believe in simple, affordable, and practical strategies to make your home a healthier place. Here are some fun and easy tips to get you started:
Breathe Easy with Houseplants
Did you know that certain houseplants can purify your air? Spider plants, snake plants, and peace lilies are not only beautiful but also effective at removing toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene. Plus, they’re budget-friendly, with many available for under $10 at local garden centers.
Sip Safely with Clean Water
Ensure your drinking water is free from harmful contaminants by using pitcher filters or faucet-mounted filters. These options are affordable, often costing less than $30, and effectively reduce common pollutants like chlorine and lead. Regularly maintaining and changing filters ensures optimal performance without breaking the bank, and makes a difference to your wellbeing.
DIY Cleaning Solutions
Ditch the harsh chemicals and whip up your own non-toxic cleaning products with ingredients you already have at home. A mix of vinegar and water makes a fantastic all-purpose cleaner that’s safe for your family and the environment. A bottle of vinegar typically costs less than $5, making this a cost-effective alternative to commercial cleaners. You can add essential oils to help infuse your home with scents that soothe and inspire you (we love frankincense and sandalwood!), or you can leave as is and keep it simple.
Reduce Plastic, Reuse More
Switch to reusable bags, glass containers, and stainless steel water bottles. These small changes help reduce plastic waste and lower your exposure to harmful chemicals found in plastics like BPA and phthalates. Reusable items may have a higher upfront cost but save money over time and can often be found for under $20 each. You can always search your local thrift store for even lower prices, or ask for these on Facebook free swap groups in your neighborhood!
Fresh Air, Naturally
Open your windows regularly to let in fresh air and reduce indoor pollutants. Pair this with an affordable air purifier with a HEPA filter, which can remove 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns or larger. Many effective models are available for under $100, making them a worthwhile investment for your home’s air quality over time.

Balancing Mental Health and Toxin Reduction
Facing the reality of being exposed to numerous toxins can be overwhelming. It’s important to take care of your mental health as you make these changes. Here are some tips for regulating your nervous system:
Breathing Exercises: Practice deep breathing techniques to calm your mind and body. Try inhaling for a count of four, holding for four, and exhaling for four.
Mindfulness and Meditation: Spend a few minutes each day in mindfulness or meditation to center yourself and reduce stress, if this works for your unique body and mind. Some people feel more calm with movement. Experiment and see what works, and then make it consistent.
Physical Activity: Regular exercise can help regulate your nervous system and improve overall well-being. Find an activity you enjoy, whether it’s yoga, walking, or dancing.
Nature Time: Spend time outdoors in nature. The fresh air and natural surroundings can have a calming effect on your mind.
Adequate Sleep: Ensure you are getting enough restful sleep each night to support your body’s recovery and mental clarity. We offer a Clary Sage Mystic Sleep Spray for those having trouble with racing thoughts at night.
