Chemical sensitivity, Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), Environmental illness, and or allergic reactions are a reality for an ever increasing number of our neighbors and family members. Earthshade Natural Window Fashions is one of the few organizations making a strong and often tedious commitment to understand and craft an aesthetically pleasing product for the home and office environment providing comfort, economy, and peace of mind to all.
Often completely disregarded as an actual ailment by the medical world, MCS can have a vast range of effect on ones life from an occasional episode of coughing, sneezing, or wheezing, to headaches, dizziness, breathing difficulty, or even total incapacitation when one comes in contact with a simple trigger. Triggers can range from the most simple fragrances, both natural and synthetic, to complex, often unscented concoctions of common chemicals found in nearly everything that is made or handled by humanity.
Because MCS is such a vastly misunderstood, understudied, and inherently complex fact for many of our friends and neighbors, a real challenge arises when attempting to offer a “natural” product suitable for anyone and everyone. The fact remains that what may be perceived as non-toxic one day, may become toxic to some on another day when combined with a whole new set of circumstances. This alone sends many producers to the safety of claiming their product simply is not suitable for anyone who even thinks they may be afflicted with MCS to any degree.
Earthshade Natural Window Fashions is committed to producing the truest, and purest product of its kind without the practices and or additives that so many others refer to as normal, necessary, or naively “natural”. Because we rely on a vast network of small producers, transporters, and craftspeople, obtaining 100% control is often a daunting task. We have found patterns, or materials that are seemingly benign to most, to be inappropriate for others. Conversely we have found materials that some are cautious about to be completely satisfactory to others.
21st Century canaries may rest assured that a simple phone call to Earthshade Natural Window Fashions will be met with care, experience, compassion, and respect for the simple right of all to enjoy our free society with equality. At the very least, we are willing to assist you in discovering the level of appropriateness or comfort our product may offer to you as an individual. In time we hope the rest of society will join us by acknowledging these signs of certain change.
