When we hear the term allergy, most people think of such symptoms as a runny nose, red and watering eyes, swelling of some tissues somewhere, rashes, hives, or some other form of itching. With no distinction made, the term allergy is also used to refer to more serious reactions to substances. More serious reactions include headaches, heart palpitations, and, eventually, anaphylactic shock. Among those who work with allergies, these two sets of symptoms are considered to be very separate categories with two separate names. This is true both in the medical world and among “alternative” practitioners, as well. The names most commonly used to distinguish the two categories are allergy and intolerance. Intolerances are sometimes referred to as sensitivities. More information can be found in the blog.
In February our topics are DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, and SELF-ESTEEM. This is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart. There is always a need but it seems that this time of year there is a particular need for things to combat depression and anxiety. I have tried to pick the products that have been the most helpful to me over the years and I hope these things will help you as well.
I am really excited about the things I have picked to discuss this month. When my team and I decided to focus on SELF-IMPROVEMENT and SELF-LOVE so many wonderful products came to mind. We had a hard time narrowing the list down to our favorites. I can’t wait to share them with you. January is often a time when we take stock of our life and set goals for improvement so this seems like a great time to discuss Self-Improvement and Self-Love. This blog is still likely to get long so I have included a LIST OF COVERED TOPICS I hope this helps you quickly find the information you are looking for.
