Gardening with Allergies

If you have asthma or allergies you don’t have to limit your yard decorating to stones and concrete! There are many plants you can use to design your home garden including flowers, shrubs, trees and more, that won’t contribute to your outdoor allergy symptoms.

However, keep in mind that, even if your garden is “allergy free,” many of the pollens that affect you can travel to your yard from other gardens in the neighborhood or even from as far away as the next state. But there are intelligent and creative ways to make sure you minimize the allergens growing right in your own back yard.

The birth of a child can be a joyous and exciting time, but following childbirth, some women may experience postpartum disorders that can adversely affect a woman’s mental health. Mothers commonly experience what is called “the baby blues,” mood swings that are the result of high hormonal fluctuations that occur during and immediately after childbirth. In general, clinical depression occurs in approximately 15 to 25 percent of the population, and women are twice as likely as men to experience depression.
