Do you take Tea with your Asthma? Included: A great recipe for Chai.

I'm a tea girl.   When I feel a little wheezy, caffeine, tea in particular, seems to calm my asthma symptoms. I wouldn't take a tea break in place of medication, but if my chest starts to feel tight due to an allergic situation I can have some tea and usually avoid heavy medication. [And I must leave the allergic situation, natch]... Read moreChevron

Meet Alexander: Can his technique help your asthma?

As a person with asthma, I carry a lot of tension in my upper chest and in my upper back. Are you like me? Or perhaps you carry a heavy purse or bag and you're listing to one side even after you put your bag down?

A Litte Apple Picking -- and Oral Allergy Syndrome

It's that time of year here in the Northeast. Pumpkin patches, hayrides, mulled apple cider and lovely crisp weather. Well, hold off on that last part. I went apple picking in South Eastern Connecticut and it was well over 80 degrees!  No matter. The drive up the Merritt Parkway was lovely: full green trees just beginning to turn into... Read moreChevron

Free-of Food Mommies

There's a new breed of mommy in town -- and she's making a whole different kind of snack.   When I was a child, many moms, including my own, were working moms. So, there were a lot of nannies, maids and housekeepers to contend with, and they were the true snackgivers. Generally, when eating at friends' houses I was okay ... Read moreChevron

The Inhaler Changeover

I knew it was coming: the change in my Albuterol rescue inhaler.   I had gotten a letter from my insurance company stating that my inhaler was going to change in 2008. The American Lung Association states it thusly: "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has told makers of albuterol inhalers that they must stop using the... Read moreChevron
