Hayfever – Are You Prepared?

It looks like we’ve finally hit Spring time – my favorite time of the year especially in Brisbane. Warm days, beautiful blue skies = perfect beach weather! Flowers begin to bloom, trees are finishing pollinating, while grass and weeds are only starting to pollinate.

For some this is a beautiful time of the year, but for others Spring time is the most dreaded!

The increase of pollination combined with the urge to spend more time outside in the sunshine, can trigger those awful hay fever symptoms that you forgot about during Winter.

Spring time is a special time of the year, and shouldn’t be missed by anyone. So if you are a sufferer of hay fever during Spring and Summer, than right now is a good time to start putting in some preventative measures so that you don’t suffer for the rest of the year.

Fat Intolerance Symptoms – How To Alleviate Them Naturally

Are you running to the bathroom after you eat something deep fried, greasy and oily? Or perhaps you suffer with heart burn or nausea after eating fatty foods.

The symptoms that you experience after eating fatty foods may turn you off eating anything soaked in oil ever again – which you know isn’t particularly healthy for you anyway!

But you can’t help but wish that this didn’t happen to you. Lets face it, it’s not fun being in pain for hours on end after you have indulged in rich food.

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome Part Two – Underlying Causes and Treatment

There are many underlying causative factors that could have initiated your sensitivity to low amounts of chemicals in your environment.

You may genetically have a poor capacity to detoxify certain chemicals – 50% of the population have this genetic tendency towards slow detoxification of chemicals. If you do not have a family history, it is still very possible to develop MCS in our modern environment.

Over exposure to large amounts of chemicals could have triggered your MCS, even viruses or severe stress can leave your immune system hypersensitive to its environment.

Often nutritional deficiencies caused from a poor diet, gastrointestinal inflammation and excess alcohol intake can greatly deplete the body of specific nutrients essential for adequate detoxification – causing more and more chemical/food sensitivities.

Preventing Allergies in Babies

Allergies in infants are a big concern especially if you or your partner suffers with allergies.

Genetic predisposition greatly increases your baby’s chance to atopic diseases such as atopic dermatitis (eczema), bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma and food allergies.

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) – Natural Treatment Guide

Atopic Dermatitis is a fancy name for an itch that rashes. Therefore the more you itch the larger the rash becomes.

Continuous itching can breakdown the barrier of your skin, making you more prone to infections. Babies and young children are especially prone to infections as their immune systems aren’t fully developed.

Atopic Dermatitis most commonly occurs on the face, arms and legs in babies and young children whilst teenagers and adults tend to have it behind their knees and elbows. The skin condition usually shows its first appearance in children under the age of two, which then can lead to asthma, allergic rhinitis and food allergies later on in life.
