The thought of sharing your bed with dust mites is enough to make your skin crawl, even before they trigger your allergies.

Allergies are a nuisance, particularly when they are in your home. Your home is supposed to be your safe place, your haven and refuge when you are not feeling your best. Unfortunately for those with dust mite allergies, this is not the case.

Dust mite allergies and common symptoms

Like any allergy, your body exhibits tell-tale symptoms that something isn’t right. These can include:

  • Running nose and sneezing
  • Itchy, watering or red eyes
  • Itchy throat, mouth or nose
  • Swelling

It can also trigger asthma, eczema and cause:

  • Chest tightness
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Wheezing
  • Dry skin

dust mite allergies

These symptoms are unpleasant for adults but even more so for children. There are several things you can do to get rid of dust mites and they should be done as soon as possible!

  • Burn all the things – just kidding. By freezing, boiling, putting in your dryer for half an hour; these will cause the dust mites to die.
  • Unclutter rooms – Leave no clutter and dust mites will have difficulty finding places to hide.
  • Wash sheets and linen regularly!
  • Sunlight – Leave your dust mite ridden things in direct sunlight for a few hours and the heat will kill them. You will also have to remove the allergen though. This can be done by implementing Bosisto’s 3 step system.

The Bosisto’s dust mite products are a natural alternative to the harsh chemicals many people use to get rid their homes of this nightmare allergy.

Step 1 – Spray. Use this on all bedding, materials and furniture on a regular basis. Once you have sprayed, leave for a few hours and then vacuum up the allergens.

Step 2 – Treat. The Dust Mite Wash is great for bedding. It is designed for top loaders so if you have a front loader use this as a soak instead.

Step 3 – Maintain. Wash your linen, towels, mats, etc. with this everyday washing liquid. It will keep your fabrics fresh, dust mite free and smelling great!

I have recently finished reading a book that outlines and encourages a drug free approach to the treatment of not only health problems but also emotional issues.  Challenging Children: Success with Homeopathy offers hope to everyone living or working with children from page 1. This book is full of  inspiration, success stories and the paths they took to overcome and improve the struggles and issues they were experiencing. I love that it is written in a way that every mum and dad will understand; it has been stripped of all the lengthly explanations and scientific jargon leaving only the important information and words you can actually pronounce. Linee Jordan, the writer of Challenging Children understands that parents don’t often get a lot of time to read and has written this book in a way that you can open it up and start from almost anywhere. If you or your children are interested in finding out more about Homeopathy or would like to understand it further this is a great place to start.

Success with Homeopathy

Some of the challenges this book shares success stories of include but are not limited to childhood behaviour, developmental delay, emotional problems, highly sensitive children, ADHD, anger, anxiety, autism, fears, bedwetting, delayed speech, nightmares, OCD, separation anxiety, tantrums, allergies, asthma, bedwetting, digestive problems, ENT, eczema, tics and twitches.  Challenging Children shows how powerful and effective Homeopathy really is.

Food Allergies, Intolerances + A Tasty Giveaway http://allmumsaid.com.au/food-allergies-intolerances-a-tasty-giveaway/ http://allmumsaid.com.au/food-allergies-intolerances-a-tasty-giveaway/#comments Sun, 21 Oct 2012 20:30:00 +0000 http://madmummas.com/?p=94 Allergies and intolerances seem to be on the rise and they are becoming more and more severe.

Allergies and intolerances seem to be on the rise and they are becoming more and more severe. Majority of people will know of at least one person who suffers. Childcare centres and school prohibit the entry of certain products onto the property to prevent any life-threatening reactions.

My family has not been exempt from this – we discovered when my eldest son Declan was about 1 that he was allergic to peanuts. Not life threatening just a rash thankfully and he has since built up his tolerance for them and is fine to eat them. One of my sisters is gluten intolerant and another can’t handle dairy products. As I said they are being very common – we are just lucky that we don’t have to be concerned with any anaphylactic reactions.

 

Image Credit
Now anyone who has these intolerances would know the food doesn’t always appeal to the eyes or taste buds but I have recently been sampling some Smooze and Eskal products and let me tell you – things are changing! 

 

Smooze Fruit Ice are delicious dairy-free icy refreshments. They are available in a variety of 4 coconut flavours that keep everyone from parents to kids happy. They are so yummy!

 

Eskal are another company that specialise in producing high quality food specifically for those with intolerances and allergies. They have a nut-free peanut butter (made from sunflower seeds) available in crunchy and smooth. I myself could taste the difference but I am a massive fan of ‘real’ peanut butter whereas my sons couldn’t tell the difference. They loved it!
The dairy-free range consists of dark chocolate in raspberry and mint flavour. I tried the mint one and while I am not a fan at all of mint chocolate these taste very similar to Arnott’s Mint Slice biscuits so it was a hit with everyone in the house. They also have shortbread and other biscuits.
As we speak (or more so as I type this) I am stuffing my face with gluten-free chocolate coated pretzels. Needless to say these are delicious and the kids will not have the chance to taste these. There are many other gluten-free products from pastas to marshmallows.
 
I have an Eskal Prize Pack for one lucky reader!
Prize includes:
2 x Noble Choice Chocolate
2 x FreeNut Butter
1 x Marshmallow OR Tea Biscuits (sorry, this depends on availability)
2 x Eskal Pretzels

 

Open to Australian residents only! Sorry everyone else.
GIVEAWAY CLOSED!!
