Health
Part 2
Who’s It Likely To Happen To?
You can lose over a gallon of water a day if you have diarrhea and throw up. Babies and kids are more likely than adults to get dehydrated because they're smaller. Older adults need to be on the lookout because your sense of thirst gets duller with age. Kidney disease and some health conditions can make your body get parched. Pregnant or breastfeeding women need to drink more than usual.
Symptoms In Young Children
Babies and little kids can’t al- ways tell you what’s going on with their bodies. Look for a dry tongue, no tears when crying, no wet diapers for 3 hours, and more fussiness than normal. When it’s more severe, their mouths will be dry and sticky, and their eyes and cheeks may look sunken. They also may breathe fast and have a fast or weak pulse.
Symptoms In Older Kids And Adults
You might be thirsty, and your mouth might feel dry or sticky. You won’t pee very often - - under 4 times a day. When you do go, there may not be much pee, and it’ll be dark or have a strong smell. You may feel dizzy or lightheaded, and you may pass out. As it gets worse, your thirst cranks up. Your breathing and heart rate may be faster than nor- mal. You can overheat, and you might feel confused or cranky.

Eucalyptus Oil And Frankincense Oil
dition to your natural detergents, add 25 drops of eucalyptus oil to each load of wash during allergy season, especially if you or the kids are running around outside.
• If your allergy symptoms are going strong, mix eucalyptus oil with coconut oil and rub it on your chest and behind your ears and diffuse it in the air during the day and while sleeping.
Another pow- erful essential oil for managing al- lergies is frank- incense oil.
The almost
unbelievable can-
cer-killing capacity of Indian frankincense has been well established in scientific litera- ture for several years, but its life-giving power doesn’t end there.
• To implement it into your natural health regimen, simply rub frankincense behind your ears and on your chest several times per day, or diffuse frankincense essential oil in your home and office for about three hours daily.
One
study evaluated the ef- fect that various es- sential oils had in killing the highly aller- gic house mites and found that eucalyp- tus oil ranked amongst some of the most potent.
Essential oils for
allergies work by reducing inflammation and improving detoxification of harmful bacteria, parasites, microorganisms and toxins that can trigger an attack. You can use eucalyptus oil for seasonal allergy relief in a variety of ways:
• You can put several drops of eucalyptus oil into your neti pot, inhale it via a diffuser, or use it in your laundry detergent as an an- timicrobial agent.
• For an eco-friendly, biodegradable ad-

It’s now becoming common knowledge that a strong immune system starts with a healthy gut. More than 80 percent of your immune function is stored in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract!
It should be no wonder that research keeps surfacing that links probiotic supplement use to reduced risk of allergies.
Probiotics are beneficial “good bacteria” that live inside your GI tract and help defend you against infections, viruses, allergies and more.
They are so effective that a study published in the journal Pediatrics discovered that women who regularly take probiotics during pregnancy sig- nificantly reduce their child’s risk of developing allergies.
