Pets Don’t Just Cause Pet Allergies

Filed Under Pet Allergies | Leave a Comment

Much as we all love our pets they can cause major problems for allergy sufferers. When most people mention allergies and pets they think of pet allergies but pets can be a problem for those of us who have other allergies even if we are not allergic to pet dander. The problem is that cats and dogs bring allergens from the outdoors inside the house with them.

Allergens like mold spores and pollen can easily hitch a ride indoors with your pet. We all know that dogs love to roll around in the grass or cats like to hunt for mice in a field. Pets are like a 5 year old they just can’t help but get dirty. Even though they are good at grooming themselves and getting clean this usually happens in your house after you let them in.

Make sure your pet is clean before coming into the house. This can be easier said than done if your pet is crying scratching at the door to get inside. Make sure you dry any wet areas of your pet. If your a dog owner its best to get into a routine of spending 5 minutes cleaning and brushing your dog before you come inside. After your pets come in after being outside keep them off your furniture, bed and couches. Generally if you have given your dog a decent walk he is ready for a nap and a treat, so make it a practice putting that favorite bone or treat on their doggy bed so they will get in the practice of laying down there and taking a nap.

Dogs and cats that are clean are generally healthier and less prone to things like flea infestations. The best dogs for people with allergies are those that produce less dander. Well groomed pets can also help reduce allergy attacks for those with minor pet allergies. Air purifiers can also reduce pet dander. There are also sprays on the market for pet dander. Pets can be a great source of enjoyment in our lives but we need to be responsible and take proper care of them for their health and ours.

Aromatherapy For Allergies

Filed Under Aromatherapy For Allergies | 1 Comment

Many of the aromatherapy for allergies techniques can be traced backed to the Egyptians. In ancient Egypt scent was very important for both men and women. The Egyptians invented a distillation machine and used aromatherapy spiritually and medicinally. Much of what was later used in Greece and other ancient cultures was passed on from the Egyptians.

Aromatherapy for allergies uses essential oils to try and loosen mucus and relieve congestion from allergies. Essential oils are extremely strong and are used in very small quantities, usually a few drops at a time. There are several methods of using essential oils, these can include direct inhalation, massage or diffusing. Never ingest essential oils!
