Creating a Clean, Restorative Space for Your Spirit, Soul, and Body


At His Healing House, we believe that healing doesn’t stop with what you eat or the supplements you take—it extends to the very air you breathe, the water you drink, and the home you live in. Your environment plays a powerful role in your overall health. Hidden toxins like mold, heavy metals, and chemical pollutants can quietly burden your body’s natural healing process.


The good news? You can begin detoxing your home environment today—one intentional step at a time.


🌬 1. Start with the Air You Breathe

Your body thrives on clean, oxygen-rich air. Yet, indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air due to mold spores, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), cleaning products, and synthetic fragrances.


Purify your air naturally:

  1. Invest in a HEPA + Carbon Air Purifier: This combination removes fine particles like dust, pollen, and mold spores, while activated carbon helps absorb chemical vapors and odors.
  2. Use Essential Oils Instead of Sprays: Swap chemical air fresheners for essential oils like tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender, or lemon, which not only smell amazing but also contain natural antimicrobial properties. Diffuse them with a clean water-based diffuser.
  3. Open the Windows: Circulate fresh air daily, even for just 10 minutes, to reduce buildup of indoor pollutants.
  4. Add Living Plants: Certain houseplants—like peace lilies, ferns, and spider plants—can help balance humidity and gently purify the air while adding beauty to your space.


💧 2. Detox Your Water


Water is the foundation of life, and your body depends on clean hydration to flush toxins. However, tap water often contains chlorine, fluoride, pharmaceuticals, and even trace heavy metals.


Tips for cleaner, healing water:

  1. Install a Quality Water Filter: Choose a reverse osmosis or multi-stage carbon filtration system for your kitchen. Even a countertop Berkey filter can make a big difference.
  2. Avoid Plastic Bottles: Use glass or stainless steel water bottles to avoid BPA and microplastic exposure.
  3. Pray Over Your Water: Give thanks for the gift of clean water and speak life over it. Gratitude has a way of renewing not just our perspective, but the atmosphere of our homes.


🧼 3. Clean Without Chemicals


So many household cleaners contain harsh chemicals that linger in the air and on surfaces. Swapping to natural alternatives not only protects your health—it also keeps your home a more peaceful, God-honoring space.


Easy swaps for a toxin-free clean:

  1. DIY All-Purpose Cleaner: Mix white vinegar, distilled water, and 10–15 drops of lemon or tea tree essential oil in a glass spray bottle. It’s gentle yet powerful against germs and mold.
  2. Baking Soda Magic: Perfect for scrubbing sinks, tubs, and stubborn grime without harsh abrasives.
  3. Steam Clean: A steam cleaner uses only water and heat to sanitize floors and bathrooms—no chemicals needed!


🦠 4. Address Mold Before It Multiplies


Mold can be a major source of chronic symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, sinus issues, and skin irritation. It often hides behind walls, under sinks, or in basements.


Steps to detox your home from mold:

  1. Identify the Source: Look for moisture spots, leaks, or musty smells.
  2. Fix the Problem: Repair leaks immediately and use a dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity between 35–50%.
  3. Remediate Safely: Small areas can often be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar. For larger infestations, hire a certified mold remediation specialist.
  4. Purify the Air: Use diffused clove, thyme, or oregano essential oils—these have strong antifungal properties.


🪴 5. Bring Nature Indoors


Nature restores balance. The more natural elements you incorporate, the less room toxins have to thrive.

  1. Beeswax or Soy Candles: Replace paraffin candles with clean-burning alternatives.
  2. Open Windows and Curtains: Let in fresh air and sunlight daily—both help reduce mold and bacteria.
  3. Himalayan Salt Lamps: These can gently cleanse and ionize the air while adding a warm glow.


🌿 6. Support Your Body’s Detox Systems

Even as you detox your home, your liver, lymph, and skin need support to release built-up toxins.

At His Healing House, we offer several therapies that help accelerate your body’s own detox process:

  1. Nutrition Response Testing: Identify hidden stressors and toxins.
  2. Salt Therapy & Sauna Sessions: Help your body release toxins through sweat and respiration.
  3. PEMF & Red Light Therapy: Restore energy flow and cellular repair.
  4. Ionic Foot Detox: Gently draw out toxins through the pores of your feet.
