Natural Allergy Protection

While recently cat sitting for a friendly feline, I was reminded that I am allergic to cats. :? As I was discussing my dilemma with a friend, she mentioned an old-time remedy that has been a homeopathic favorite. So...I tried it and got great results.

It involves baking soda, a multi-purpose item that you can purchase in any grocery store. You're probably used to using baking soda in your homemade baked goods. Anyways...

Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 8 ounces of water. I like to decrease the portion, so I mix 1/2 teaspoon with 4 ounces water. Mix thoroughly and drink. Do not consume this mixture more than 4 times per 24 hour period.

Drink this concoction 30 minutes prior to contact with the item causing an allergy. The natural remedy may not work as well as a prescription-based allergy relief product, but it worked well enough for me. I try to avoid using pharmaceutical concoctions as much as possible.

Anyways, next time you need to protect yourself against known allergens, try this homeopathic remedy. It's cheap, easy and quick. :)

Find interesting? Kindly share...

Intro

Greetings everyone! Welcome to my blog about living with a total knee replacement. After having one 15 months ago, I have a wealth of information I would like to share with others either planning on, or having gone through, this major surgery.

After knowing I was going to undergo this surgery, I received literature from my doctor's office. It contained helpful information, but I found that upon going through the pre-op process, there was a lot of information that was not included in this.

So, putting my extensive writing background to use, I wrote an e-book about preparing for a total knee replacement. My hope is that it helps others undergoing this frustrating and trying procedure.
