Allergies vs COVID-19 Symptoms

As Autumn dances in, allergies do as well. Cooler air contains some pollen that is just as irritable as spring allergies. Allergens from crisp, fallen leaves and grass float through the air and enter the nose, eyes, mouth, and ears. Two of the most common causes of fall allergies are ragweed and mold spores. Those with asthma are highly susceptible to mold particles as well.

Reduce the Signs of Aging Without Mysterious Chemicals

We’d all like to age gracefully, but many of us go about it the wrong way. We fill our shelves with expensive products that promise to “rewind the clock” on our skin with their 10-syllable ingredients and attractive packaging. We apply creams and serums diligently each evening and then spend our days undoing any good we might have done.

Combat Season Allergies Naturally

The main component of conventional allergy medications is an antihistamine. Histamines are the chemical released by your immune system during an allergic reaction, whether pollen, dust, or an insect bite. They’re what causes your symptoms, from the irritating ones--itchy throat, runny nose--to the life-threatening ones--swollen throat and external blood pressure. Antihistamines block histamines, thus preventing those symptoms. There are two major categories of antihistamines used to treat seasonal allergies (H-1 blockers): first-generation and second generation.

Natural Supplements for Energy Optimization

Most of us know that the best way to maintain consistent and abundant energy throughout our days is to get plenty of sleep, eat a well-rounded diet, and exercise regularly. All of these habits keep our bodies functioning optimally and provide us plenty of energy to get through our days with enough left to enjoy our free time.

3 Plant-Based Oils To Add to Your Arsenal

It’s no secret that the oils we use on a daily basis can influence our health and wellness. The oils we choose to cook with and eat can seriously help—or harm–our bodies. The oils present in our cosmetics can either vitalize our skin or create a shiny, clogged-pore mess. But many of us are missing out on the power of supplemental oils on our long-term health. Here are a few you might consider adding to your supplement routine.

Grow Your Hair Long and Strong With These Foods & Supplements

Fancy shampoos and salon treatments might not be the solution you’re looking for. In fact, there are specific foods and nutrients that support the growth and strength of your hair. Ensuring your diet contains ample amounts of these foods and possible adding in a supplement could do wonders for your hair and your health.

The Importance of Hydration During Heatwaves and Year-Round

The dog days of summer are upon us. Temperatures are increasing, the air is so thick you could swim in it, and we’re all forgetting what it ever felt like to want to pull on a jacket. These days, a simple walk to the mailbox can leave beads of sweat on one’s face.

How Much Vitamin D Do We Need?

Vitamin D gets a lot of hype in pop science articles and on the health and wellness scene, but there’s ambiguity surrounding the specifics. How much do we get from the sun? Do we absorb it the same way in supplement form? What foods contain vitamin D? And how much do we really need on a daily basis?

Support Your Skin This Summer

Sunny summer weather means many of us are spending more time outdoors than usual. This can be very healthy, as it often means more vitamin D exposure, more exercise, better moods, and lower stress levels. However, there are risks to so much outdoor time, and many of them center around your body’s largest organ--the skin.

The Different B Vitamins for your Health

We hear a lot about the importance of B-12 for your health, but what about the other seven B vitamins? These eight essential nutrients work together and have their own unique functions that keep your body running smoothly. Here are the eight B vitamins and why they're so important to incorporate them into your daily health regime.

What is Holistic Medicine?

If you’ve ever asked yourself this question, you’re in the right place. According to WebMD “Holistic medicine is a form of healing that considers the whole person -- body, mind, spirit, and emotions -- in the quest for optimal health and wellness.” But what does this really mean when it comes to modern medicine? How do medical practitioners implement a holistic approach into their practice? It’s not as far-fetched as it may sound.

The Science of Calm

We live in a world that thrives on stress. Especially in our Western culture, where stress is a supposed indicator of how hard you are working, the importance of slowing down and calming the mind has been all but forgotten. It is important to remember the damaging effects that stress can have on your body and learn how you can achieve a relaxed and calm state.
