Ahhh…the sun. Gotta love it, right? But sometimes it doesn’t
love you--and the proof is in that painful sunburn you get every
year. You swear it won’t happen again, but here you are heading
to the office on Monday morning sporting that telltale red
lobster look.
Memorial Day
signals the unofficial start of summer. Picnics, barbeques,
hiking, camping, and dining al fresco are just some of the
activities that we all enjoy during the summer season.
Unfortunately the onset of warmer weather also signals the arrival
of pesky insects such as mosquitoes, black flies, and ticks.
The weather is warm, the days are long, and the sun
is out- but you can barely enjoy it. You sneeze at the smell of fresh
cut grass and your eyes tear up while you are working in your garden.
Not many people realize this, but allergy relief lies no further away
than your kitchen pantry.
Recent Reports confirm
cases of the West Nile Virus across Canada and the U.S.
and are predicted to increase over the next few years.
Mosquitoes are no longer just a pesky insect to tolerate
during the summer months but now pose a serious health
threat. The best defense to avoid being bitten by a
mosquito is prevention.
A
combination of yarrow, elderflower and peppermint is a safe and potent
natural cold cure.
