Hygiene for Good Health

The first step to maintaining good health is proper hygiene. How many times have you heard that it's enough to wash your hands in warm soapy water regularly to avoid colds and other germs? Well, it's true and it's a better strategy than using antibacterial products that kill all bacteria - both good and bad. The use of a naturally antibacterial essential oil, like Tea Tree Oil, on the other hand is a great choice and won't harm your body's good bacteria.
It can be diluted with water and is a great skin and burn remedy, not to mention placing a few drops in your washing machine to keep clothes disinfected. This same product can be added to warm water with lemon or vinegar to clean your home - instead of using bleach and alcohol! Next on the good hygiene list: brush your teeth and floss daily. There's no denying how much this will save you on dental services in the future. Other good hygiene tips are to drink a lot of water. This will give you excellent skin and general good hydration can prevent various other maladies.
