Asthma – a respiratory illness caused by lung tube sensitivity – can affect anyone of any age, and can make the sufferers’ lives extremely unpleasant. If you, or someone you live with, suffers from asthma – it’s time to take a look in your cleaning cupboard.
Household cleaning products purchased from grocery stores tend to be a nightmare in a bottle for asthma sufferers. Those incredible products that clean quickly and easy tend to created by mixing strong chemicals, particles of which are absorbed in to the air – and then inhaled by humans – when the product is used. This is not a problem for healthy individuals, but these chemical particles can be extremely irritating for asthma sufferers – perhaps even to the extent of triggering an act.
The best way to counteract this is to switch to natural cleaning products, using items from yesteryear when chemicals were not readily available. The below items are asthma-friendly cleaning products, and most find them just as effective – if not more so – than their chemical-laden shop bought alternatives.
- White Vinegar: use to clean windows and glass for a streak-free finish, and to tackle stubborn stains.
- Natural Borax: be sure to buy natural substitutes to borax, which are just as effective though a little more expensive. A wonderful all-purpose cleaner to be used wherever you previously may have used bleach.
- Tea tree oil: a natural anti-bacterial substance, tea tree oil works well anywhere you wish to rid yourself of germs.
- Bees wax: better, and cheaper, than conventional furniture polish.
By switching to these products, you’ll not only save money but will vastly improve the air quality for anyone suffering from asthma. Everyone wins!
Is Asthma in the Air?

You would probably be surprised with the number of individuals who are suffering from asthma at any given time. Some of us suffer from asthma on a regular basis, constantly worrying about when our next major attack will occur and having difficulties breathing in between the attacks themselves. There are also some individuals who only have an occasional bout with asthma and they may be wondering why exactly they are having this difficulty from time to time. The honest fact of the matter is, very few people understand what causes asthma but they may realize that it has triggers which can bring it about from time to time.
One of the major triggers that you may be experiencing has to do with the amount of pollen that is in the air. Even many of the weather stations that are currently on TV will show pollen alerts, even though it does not really have anything to do with the weather at all. When the pollen is high at certain times of year, people who have reactions to the pollen are going to have different difficulties which may include asthma. The higher the pollen count is, the worst people are going to be as a result of it.
There are very few things that you can do from a medical standpoint to overcome this problem. You may take an antihistamine but this is really only going to cover over the actual issue, the reason why your having a reaction to the pollen in the first place. If it is a temporary thing, you may want to try putting a little bit of sea salt under your tongue because this is the most powerful natural antihistamine that is available. Make sure that you drink water along with it in order to keep the body in balance.
Other than that, there are a few other things that you can do in order to lessen the amount of pollen that you are breathing in daily. One thing that you can do is buy a high quality air filter for use in the room where you sleep. We tend to breathe more deeply at night so making sure that our room is allergen free is very important. Another thing that you can do is to make sure that your hair is clean before you go to bed. Our hair tends to act as a pollen magnet and rolling around on our pillow at night can bring the pollen very close to our face. Doing these two things should help.

Ever feel a little bit naughty and reach for the sugar to add it to your morning yogurt, bowl of fruit, cup of coffee or afternoon snack for a decadent little sugar rush? You’re not alone.
Eating is an emotional experience for most people. And modern diet advice takes all the fun out of eating. Take the advice of a nutritionist or diet guru and you’ll feel like you’ve been locked away in a dungeon somewhere and you’re only allowed to eat gruel.
My basic philosophy of eating is to eat foods that you enjoy in their natural, unadulterated forms. That means for the most part, natural sugars are good, and man-made sugars are bad.
And I hate to ruin all the fun, but refined sugar is not natural. Take a look at the chart to the right and you’ll see all the steps it takes to mak…
