One simple trick to get rid of toxins in your mattress as it is full with harmful substances.
These toxins are proven to damage the nervous and immune system, soft tissue, brain and also cause autoimmune disorders and arthritis.
Some of the dangerous chemicals used in the production of mattresses are:
• Formaldehyde, which is linked with getting cancer
• Boric acid, a toxic respiratory irritant which is used to kill roaches
• Antimony, a metal that is even more toxic than mercury
How to Reduce Toxins in Your Mattress
If you sleep on common memory foam mattress which is not organic you can use onions to get rid of toxins in the air. They are cheap and can be found in every store.
Onions were used by scientists in canning factories which are full with industrial waste and found that onions were able to absorb even 70% of the toxins- cadmium, lead, arsenic and mercury. The onions could be reused again.
This is a simple trick- you just need to cut the onion into 3 pieces and put the under the bead close to the head, center and feet. Onions will absorb the toxins from the mattress and in this way they won’t be released in the air.
