Did You know?

Hay Fever Sufferers should wash hair at night. They’ll remove any pollen and keep it from settling on pillows and bedding. (also avoid common irritants like tobacco smoke, automobile exhaust hair spray and perfume; wash hands frequently’ venture outdoors only when pollen counts are low).

Australian researches found a simple solutions if you’re allergic to dust mites and suspect your area rugs make you sneeze and itch – place the rug outdoors I direct sunlight for a few hours (the sun dries and heats them – exterminating mites.)

Moving to another location is no guarantee of relief for allergy sufferers, because they usually develop allergies to their new region’s pollens and molds within a few years of moving (most allergy-provoking grasses are wide spread throughout the world). As many as 20% of American believe they have a food allergy…but less than 1% really do. Most food “allergies” are actually signs of digestive problems, food poisoning or stress.

Lastly, one cup of black tea has enough h fluoride to help prevent tooth decay – and green tea has twice as much. Green tea is also much richer in flavonoids and antioxidants (TopHealth Fevbruary 2005)
