Microplastics in the Home: Everyday Exposure, Health Impacts, and Gentle Detox Support

In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of microplastics and their presence in our environment. What is becoming increasingly clear is that these tiny plastic particles are not just in our oceans, they are in our homes, our food, our water, and ultimately, our bodies.

As a naturopath, I often get asked whether we can “detox” microplastics. The answer is not as straightforward as we might hope. While there is currently no known method to directly remove microplastics from the body, there is still a lot we can do to reduce exposure and support the body’s natural detoxification processes. Read on to find out how you can make your home microplastic free.

The plastic problem: How can you know the extent of your chemical exposure?

We are increasingly exposed to environmental toxins, we have known this for a while. The results of decades of this exposure are now coming to light with rising rates of infertility and disease. We can reduce our exposure but its hard to know if we really have made an impact, this is where environmental chemical testing comes in. Not only can we test, we can also do a detoxification plan to optimise our metabolism to be able to deal with this increasing chemical load.
