What About a Butterbur?
Around 40 percent of allergy sufferers use different alternative and natural treatments to relieve allergies.

Wednesday, August 12, 2009
I tell everyone my husband is allergic to mosquitoes. Why? Because each bite swells up to about the size of a quarter and makes his health go downhill faster than you can say, well…mosquito. In addition to the normal itching the site of the bite gets painful and if he has more than one or [...]

Wednesday, July 22, 2009
First, some anecdotal evidence. When I was a child I was around cigarette smoke a lot for various reasons. It always bothered me. Made me cough, eyes water, stuffy nose the following day, and a variety of other symptoms. When I was in my late teens I started smoking and I noticed that I didn’t [...]

During allergy season, better known as any time I am breathing, I often have random and mysterious allergy symptoms. This past weekend, for example, I suddenly had my eyelids swell to about five times their normal size. It hurt to open, close, or in any way move my eyes and it lasted all flipping weekend. [...]

Friday, May 15, 2009
As mentioned in the lasts post, I’ve recently had some allergy flare-ups. While usually this is relegated to a few sneezes and some stuffiness, this past weekend included horrible headaches. Not the mildly irritating sort but the find me a vat of pain killers sort. I’m not going to go so far as calling it [...]
