In response to the recent post, Avoid Migraine Triggers with Healthier Cleaning Products, reader Alisha wrote me with a related suggestion:Just read your article on using less toxic Home Care products and thought I´d suggest as a clothes detergent either All or Purex; both have a dye free/perfume free option available. It allowed the skin irritations other detergents caused for my husband a chance to clear up, and with the complete lack of the usual overwhelming scent, it might make laundry day easier for migraine sufferers who are sensitive to smells.
Thank you so much for these suggestions, Alisha. I think sharing our experiences is a great way to put our own trial and error to good use. I hope knowing about these options might spare some of you out there laundry day migraines.
