Are your lungs behaving poorly? Sinusitis?


For centuries, Eastern Europeans have sat in natural salt caves to help relieve respiratory, circulatory and skin ailments and stress.


Salt Therapy, like that provided at Salt Caves, is a form of inhalation therapy that is used to provide a natural
allergy treatment to clear the airways of mucus build up and reduce triggered by allergies to dust, pollen or pollution. The inhaled microscopic salt aerosol draws the mucus and fluid build up out of the nasal passage, reducing the swelling and pain. The minerals within salt, namely magnesium and potassium and known to help with inflammation and assist with breaking down mucus build up. Salt therapy will also assist in protecting you against further sinus infections as it kills harmful bacteria in the airways and boosts your immune system.

Now instead of heading off to Europe to find a salt cave you can do it in your own home with a Salt Air Pod.  This is an Ultrasonic Salinizer. Secret Squirrel ™ Salt Air Pod is an ultrasonic particle dispenser that uses ultrasonic frequency vibration technology to transform a saline solution into a salt aerosol for the indoor air. The device is not a humidifier, as it is placing an insignificant amount of humidity into your room. It is a unique product! Secret Squirrel™ Salt Air Pod comes with an instruction manual and a supply of pharmaceutical grade natural Himalayan rock salt for the saline solution. Easy to use - just plug in 100% natural and completely safe 12 month Warranty - complies with all Australian standards.

18 year old with a Flair up of Eczema

What would I do?
 I would advise a 4 prong approach.  Let's consider nutrition, mindset, supplements
and topical applications.
Nutrition.  I like to take out sugar, dairy, wheat and any junk foods.  This may be a big ask for a teenager but it does go a long way with getting the inflammation under control.  Replace with loads of vegetables, some fruit and a good sized protein at each meal. Lots of essential fatty acids help too.  This includes, fish, nuts, olive oil and eggs.  Add a tablespoon flaxseed per day.  The next step after this is to consider allergy testing.
Mindset. Nobody said being a teenager is easy and there are a lot of things that create stress.  This needs to be balanced with a regular d-stress program.  A half an hour a day doing something relaxing (not TV or screens).  Try walking, reading, meditating or listening to music.
Supplements. Flair ups with eczema have a lot to do with what is happening in the gut walls so I'd always start with a good probiotic.  Inner Health have a product called Eczema Relief which I recommend.  Bioceuticals Ultra Clean Fish oil capsules will help reduce the inflammation.
Topical.  Stop all skin cleansers, soaps and any other skin applications.  Have not too hot showers.  Use MooGOO wash followed by MooGoo eczema cream.  On the really bad bits use cortisone creams for a few days to get it under control then go back to MooGoo.  If you cannot find MooGoo, my second favorite is Trixera in the french Avene range.
