Allergy Triggers In The The Environment

The first part of any game is to see that we have a level playing field. You can often see golfers check to see if the ground slopes on a putting green. The playing field in our Allergy Action is the environment and we want to make sure that it is not against us. Allergies are unwelcome reactions inside the body. but the causes or at least the trigger for the allergy comes from outside the body. we have covered this already but some triggers for allergies, rashes and asthma could be

• air carrying dust or dust mites

• food with unwanted chemicals

• materials either clothing or jewellery in contact with the skin

Now the focus for the Natural approach to Allergy Action is inside the body but lets just touch on what action we can take in the environment

Pure Air

Anyone who has been in a city smog can appreciate how important it is to breathe clean air. If we work on a dusty construction site we can and should wear a mask. but how about at home? There are electrical air filters that can remove virtually all the dust particles and dust mites from, for example, a bedroom. The high quality filters are called HEPA filters Low allergy mattresses, sheets and pillows can also be bought. Remember though that some of these ideas may be useful but they do not solve the problem

Pure Water

The water quality of many towns and cities is often not what it should be. From time to time water authorities tell us about the detection of a bug in the water or a mistake in the filtration or treatment process It is common sense to reduce the load on the body of unwanted chemicals and my opinion it is essential for all water used in cooking or drinking to be filtered. Whether you have an expensive plumbed in system or a simple jug filter does not matter much By the way, fancy and expensive bottled water is not always of better quality than your regular tap water!

Pure Food

Action here is simple-our food should be as fresh as possible and as much food as possible should be Organic / unsprayed. All fruit and vegetables should be washed before eating. This may encourage us to eat at home more!
