A Natural Alternative for Seasonal Allergies 0
Atlanta allergy seasons are no joke! We get hit by Spring pollen from trees and weeds for months- sometimes starting as early as February and continuing into May.

Particularly if your reactions aren’t life-threatening? There are a number of natural substances that have been used for years that might be effective for you that are available in supplement form.

How to Avoid the Detox Rebound 0
As the World gets increasingly crowded, industrialized, and complex, toxins have increased along with progress. These toxins can accumulate in our tissues and cause health problems down the road if we don’t address the fact that they are in our bodies.

Detoxifying diets, detoxifying with saunas and exercise, and with supplements can all contribute to flushing toxins out of our bodies. Sometimes, though, this can lead to another problem- toxic rebound, when the act of flushing out toxins causes your body to have a rush of symptoms from the sudden release of toxins. Here's a discussion of why and how to detox and how to avoid toxic rebound.
