Breast Cancer: Many of us start our day with a quick spray of perfume. It feels harmless, almost comforting. A little mist on the neck, a little on the wrist, and we’re ready to step out. But what if this simple habit is not as safe as we think? A recent discussion by a popular doctor has left many people worried, curious and rethinking their daily routine.
Cancer healer Dr Tarang Krishna, who has over 155k Instagram followers, recently posted a video that has sparked a huge conversation online. In the clip, he talks about whether everyday perfumes can harm the body, especially when it comes to the risk of breast cancer. He points out that most people spray perfume directly onto their skin without thinking twice, even though skin is the body’s largest and most sensitive organ.
Do Perfumes Really Increase Breast Cancer Risk?
Dr Krishna makes it clear right from the start that there is no direct proof of perfumes causing breast cancer. So there is no need to panic. But he also explains that many perfumes contain chemicals such as parabens and phthalates. These chemicals are known to behave like hormones inside the body. Since breast tissue is hormone-sensitive, this raises some important questions.
He also mentions that some studies have found trace amounts of parabens in breast tumours. However, this does not mean perfume is the cause. It only shows that more research is needed, and that people should be aware of what they put on their skin. The concern comes from long-term exposure. Even if one spray is harmless, years of spraying hormone-disrupting chemicals directly onto the skin may not be the best idea.
What Dr Krishna Recommends For Safer Use
Dr Krishna suggests a few simple changes. He advises people to look for paraben-free and phthalate-free perfumes. These options are now much easier to find. He also recommends avoiding direct skin contact when spraying perfume. You can apply it to clothes, on your hair or spray it from a distance to reduce absorption. And most importantly, avoid overusing it.
He emphasises that the goal is not to scare anyone. His message is about awareness and balance. You can still enjoy your favourite scent. You can still wear perfume every day. You just need to be mindful and make safer choices.
In the end, there is no solid evidence linking perfume to breast cancer, but caution never hurts. Choosing safer products and avoiding direct skin application may help lower unnecessary risks. It’s a small change that can support better long-term health, without giving up the little joys we love.
If a tiny spray is part of your identity, you don’t have to stop using it. Just use it wisely, listen to your body and prioritise your well-being.
