Understanding the causes of allergy is helpful as we seek relief from allergy symptoms. The problem is somewhat inherited. If parents have allergies, the probability of a child having an allergy or two is increased. Another cause is exposure to unsuspected allergens in infancy. For example, dust mites which reside in carpets and furniture can cause allergies. It is important for infants to be on a blanket as much as possible when on the floor. Other environmental allergens such as cigarette smoke obviously should be avoided.
As children grow and are able to play outside it is good to let them do so. The bacteria and other substances in plain old soil are good for building of a child’s immune system. Do NOT let your child play in the yard if it has been sprayed for insecticides or herbicides. Such chemicals are suspected to play a role in development of childhood disorders such as autism. It is much better to leave the yard all natural, have a few weeds and let the kids play in it. Household chemicals used inside the house are also a threat to a child’s health so keep that in mind too.
If you have allergies, take the online Comprehensive Health Assessment. It is a simple and inexpensive way to evaluate your health from an alternative medicine viewpoint. It often gives people insights into allergies which they did not suspect, especially food allergies which I will discuss in my next blog post.
