ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO YOUR PET?
Thursday, February 23, 2012
Many people are allergic to the dander that comes off of cats and dogs and avoid them altogether, but some do not mind a little sickness if they get to keep their furry companions. Most people actually choose to continue to live with their pets even after they find out they are allergic to them because most allergies to dander are non-life threatening and can be treated with over the counter medication. I know how important animals can be to a family, so I have compiled a list of simple things you can do to make living with a pet easier, even if you are allergic to them. First off, it is important to remember that people with pet allergies are… Read More
WHY GLUTEN FREE?
Monday, February 20, 2012
Many people go years before they know that their bodies are incapable of digesting or are allergic to gluten. Gluten is a protein molecule found in grains like wheat, barley, rye and oats. Two types of gluten issues that people may have are celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Many people confuse a gluten intolerance for celiac disease when in fact they are different things. Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disease and gluten intolerance is when your body simply has difficulty digesting gluten. Typically a gluten allergy causes a reaction to wheat products. Symptoms usually range from swelling eyes, lips and face, sneezing and respiratory… Read More
SEASONAL ALLERGIES
Thursday, February 16, 2012
Seasonal allergies are probably the worst of all allergies and affect just about everyone. Whether the symptoms last all season or a few days, many of us get that congested itchy-eye feeling once a year due to the high amounts of pollen in the air ,and weeds sprouting up during the new season. As common as this allergy is, it is still a hassle to live with. These allergies usually crop up during the spring and fall seasons. Symptoms range from itchy-eyes, runny nose, and congestion. In some cases, people may experience more severe symptoms and should speak with their doctor for ways to remedy them. I would suggest avoiding outdoor activities during… Read More
CONTACT DERMATITIS
Monday, February 13, 2012
Most people associate allergies with food, but sometimes allergens do not have to be ingested to cause a flare up or allergic reaction; sometimes all you have to do is come into contact with them. Skin allergies like these are called contact dermatitis and can be found among males and females of all ages. There are three types of dermatitis, irritant dermatitis (ID), allergic contact dermatitis, and over-treatment dermatitis. Irritant Dermatitis is the most common form and appears when skin comes into direct contact with an irritant such as acids, soaps, detergents,or other harsh chemicals. The irritated area will typically resemble a burn…. Read More
INFANT ALLERGIES TO WATCH FOR
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
Keeping your baby healthy is number one on any parents list, so when mothers hear that their breast milk may be what is making their new born sick, they are torn. In some cases, babies may experience vomiting, fever, rash or gas. These are all symptoms of allergic reactions and must be addressed immediately. Luckily, there is no ‘real’ allergy to breast milk. The reactions in new borns is usually caused from what is in the mothers milk. Taking a closer look into your own diet may help to sort out what your new born is having difficulty digesting or is allergic to. Refrain from taking in milk, soy, fish or nuts. If the symptoms cease… Read More
Hello and welcome to LUXURYHOLISTICS
I am thrilled to be launching this website and blog as a place to talk about the many dimensions of holistic living that I believe are instrumental to good health and vibrant longevity.
The name I’ve chosen, LUXURYHOLISTICS, refers to the fullness of life that I encourage for every person, and it represents the way I choose to live my own life. By luxury, I don’t mean cost or extravagance, but rather a sense of deep care that can be part of any lifestyle. It’s honing in on the moments that make life better, for everyone. It is the special item that elevates a simple act, like the best bar of soap to use or using a glass water bottle instead of plastic or metal. It is the time taken to be with your self and to be in nature. It is the awareness of these experiences we choose to enhance life, which create both pleasure and gratitude. It is an insider’s guide to the world of health and beauty, with its premium on living well and its many outlets for doing so.
