Your Allergies and Reflexology for the Spirit, Continued
If your client partner’s dog has a long coat, she/he can consider having it trimmed short. This being said, some breeds should not be trimmed down: shelties, collies, Labrador retrievers, etc. Other breeds can be very easily kept trimmed short. If she/he take the dog to a groomer, ask your client partner to make sure the groomer knows about the allergies. a good groomer will have appropriate shampoos on hand and will know special brushing and hair drying techniques to remove as much hair and dander as possible to keep shedding to a minimum at home.
Some breeds of dogs don’t cause allergic reactions: poodles, shih tzus, etc. These breeds have hair, not coats.
Your client partner should work to keep his/her sinus cavities clean. Frequent washing of curtains, drapes, throw rugs, stuffed animals, human and pet bedding, etc. will help remove allergy triggers in the home. Maybe some of these things can just be gotten rid of. The question to be asked is: “Do I really need these dusty curtains, stuffed animals, etc.?”
Periodically, dust should be removed on everything in the home with a damp cloth. the idea is not to stir up the dust but get it in the damp cloth. When everything has been thoroughly dusted, the used damp cloth should be put in a plastic bag, sealed, and discarded.
All carpets and upholstered furniture should be vacuumed frequently. If central heat or an air purifier is used, the filter should be kept clean.
Eliminating roaches and/or mice is mandatory. They create problems for allergy sufferers. However, be careful of the products used to eliminate these pests. They can offer problems as well.
The subject of Allergies will continue in the next post.

Allergies and Reflexology for the Spirit
The next several posts will be devoted to the issues presented by allergies.
Allergies plague many people year round and present spiritual challenges. Although people don’t realize it, very few people have food allergies. Most allergy sufferers experience conditions like sinusitis, hay fever, and asthma. In order to overcome allergies successfully, a real commitment is needed. Clients suffering from allergies should visit a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner weekly. This is a long term commitment, not just a few visits.
They can lessen or prevent outbreaks of sinusitis, hay fever, etc., by avoiding allergy triggers. This boils down to asking the question: What is the source of the allergy?
On a spiritual level, allergy sufferers are dealing with a power struggle and how it affects them which translates into allergies.
People allergic to pollens should try to avoid them. People with sensitivities to indoor allergens should use dust mite covers on their mattresses and pillows and eliminate house dust as much as possible.
Pets are often a source of allergic reactions. People should not have to give up their pets because of allergies. after all, pets offer so much. A couple of things your client partners can do is brush the pets often and bathe them weekly in a shampoo that doesn’t cause an allergic reaction in the humans.
Cats are easy to bathe if you can avoid letting them hear the splashing water. Gently lower your cat into a sink of warm water. Soap the cat up, then gently rinse it in warm running water that doesn’t make splashing noises. Towel your cat dry. Fold up the used towel and then launder it.
In the next two posts, we’ll be discussing more things your client partners can do to make life with allergies easier.
