You may be surprised to learn that these common substances and items could be responsible for allergic reactions, but it's true.
There's nothing like a migraine headache to disrupt your life. Characterized by intense pain, visual disturbances, and even nausea and vomiting, a migraine can put you down for the count for the day, or even for several days at a time.

A massage is a great way to relax after a stressful week, and it won't surprise you to learn a massage can help alleviate back pain, neck pain, and even headaches.

Ever since I was a young girl, I have had bad asthma and allergies. I had to stay in the hospital several times when I was in elementary school just to help get my asthma under control and it seemed like I was trying medication after medication with little success. I don't remember all of my childhood health details, since I was so young, but my mother has "filled in the blanks" for me. Thanks to modern medicine and a natural remedy, my health conditions are currently under control and have been for a few years now. I am very grateful for my good health, and I want to "pay it back" to others by creating a blog where I will post my health tips. I hope I can help you learn how to achieve good health!
