Breathing, Asthma and Allergies

These days there is a lot of speculation about the increase in allergies and respiratory illnesses, and whether these can be linked to environmental factors. But did you know that some allergies and asthmatic problems can be related to unresoved subconscious issues? And did you know that you can use self hypnosis and thought field therapy to learn to relax and breathe more calmly, which in turn can help your asthmatic symptoms? And did you also know that you can use hypnosis to help reduce feelings of itchiness and discomfort which often accompany allergic reactions?

Practical help for Pollution in our homes

Interestingly the air in our homes can be many times more polluted than that in the external environment. Our furnishings not only shed fibres in every direction but are also treated with fire retardant chemicals and cleaning substances. Paintwork, carpets and furnishings all give off fumes over a period of time.

Added to which we use air fresheners, hairsprays, aerosols, spray cleaners and polishers, bleach, lime scale removers and so on with hardly a second thought. and our much loved pets also make their own contribution.

In addition the need to be environmentally friendly and have good quality double glazing and draft proofing means that there is less turnover of fresh air, and particularly in winter, our homes harbour a build-up of stale unhealthy air and allergens.

Is there a way to address this?

Yes. Investing in a good air filter can make a huge difference, especially one that is HEPA quality. I have one in my consulting room to keep the air refreshed and provide the best quality environment that I can for my clients.  The particular filter is not only approved by the British Allergy Foundation but also produces negative ions using ozone free technology.

Negative ions?

Well, we tend to feel better when we have been exposed to an environment high in negative ions, like the seaside, the air after rainfall, air near waterfalls, in forests or mountains so why not bring negative ions into the home and have that feel good factor on tap whenever you want?
