Quick question…how old is your pillow? Not sure? Think hard…Here’s a few statistics that may jog your memory a bit.
After five years of use, ten percent of your pillow’s weight is actually dust mites and dust mite feces.
Every ten years your mattress weight doubles because of an accumulation of dust mites and dust mite feces.
As you sleep in your snugly beds, you are inhaling these contaminants. People with sensitivities, allergies and asthma can be especially susceptible to health problems because of these frightening conditions.
Did you know that the bedroom is one of the filthiest rooms in your home? Thanks to the dust mite contaminants, bacteria and fungi that are alive and well in your sleeping quarters, you and your health may be suffering.

Convinced? Ready to invest in allergen pillows? I know I am. My family has members with asthmatic symptoms and environmental allergies, so this is particularly interesting when I consider how these bedroom conditions may be harming the health of my loved ones.
Imagine using these pillows and stopping mold, bacteria, fungi, and dust mites from developing in your pillows. These pillows are designed with a filter that keeps them free of germs, bacteria and allergens so you know you will not be breathing these contaminants as you sleep. Liken this filter to a surgical mask and you begin to understand how these pillows work. Even better – there is a 60 day unconditional return available and a ten year warranty on these pillows.
I tend to gravitate toward home remedies and homemade products. Partly because I am frugal, partly because I like the challenge of making great products myself, and partly because I just think that products we make ourselves out of basic and natural ingredients are superior to chemical-laden commercial products. Acne has never been a big problem for us, but I think acne home remedies would be an excellent option for anyone struggling with skin problems.
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who lives on a small farmette with her husband and five children. She was telling me that she regularly “cleanses” her children (twice a year) to rid them of possible parasites that they probably encounter as they help with chores around the farm. Now, this is nothing like those colon cleansers that you read and see advertised everywhere I don’t think…but it did give me pause to think. We do not live on a farmette, but any kid who plays in the dirt is likely to come into contact with little beasties that want to set up housekeeping in their innards. Something else to think about!
There’s a saying…getting old is no fun, but it’s better than the alternative. Of course, this is true…but there are so many aches and pains associated with aging that it can make it a difficult proposition to anticipate. Arthritis runs in my family. Both my grandmothers were crippled with it and I remember watching them suffer as they tried to use their hands when I was a young girl. Now, in my 40s, I admit I look at my hands (specifically my finger joints) with trepidation and dread when I think about what may lie ahead. Maybe it is high time I research joint health supplements to see what I can do to avoid the same pain and suffering my grandmothers experienced.
