Pet Health: Product Review

It’s officially cold season, and not just for people. While dogs can’t “catch” a cold from their humans (the viruses that cause colds in people are generally species-specific), many viruses do infect dogs, such as canine adenovirus type 2, canine respiratory coronavirus, and canine parainfluenza virus. It’s important to see your veterinarian if your dog is ill, but the HB Naturals Cold & Congestion Essential Oils Blend is a natural and effective remedy to be used in conjunction with traditional veterinary care. The natural ingredients found in this product include Eucalyptus radiata, Cinnamomum camphora (Ravintsara), Melaleuca quinquenervia bs. viridiflora (Niaouli), and Cannabis sativa (hemp seed) oil.

Don’t make Lupus a Big, Dark Secret!

The mystery that surrounds Lupus is large, with many unknowns. It is a chronic autoimmune disease, causing inflammation in various parts of the body. It can range from mild to a serious, life-threatening illness, and yet Lupus organizations receive zero funding from the government and very little corporate support. Ninety-percent of patients are women, and no two cases are the same. Symptoms can include: a face rash, alopecia, depression, mouth sores and chest pain. If you have Lupus – you are not alone. Reach out to your doctor and those close to you. Relaxation exercises like visualization and meditation can ease some symptoms. Rest often and learn to listen to your body.

Why Use a Mouth Guard?

Dental injuries can sideline children and adults alike. Athletic mouth guards work by simultaneously cushioning the face and bite, while spreading and dissipating impact. They can stabilize your jaw, absorb impact, and limit head movement during a direct hit, significantly reducing the chance of permanent damage. Mouth guards are useful for playing any type of contact sport, but are also a good idea for other activities like skateboarding or rollerblading. Custom mouth guards, professionally made by a denturist or dentist, will fit the contours of any smile, and are exceptionally comfortable and stable, allowing players to focus on the game.
