Housework Making You Sick?

Get scrubbing

A growing number of housewives are finding they are more allergic to the cleaning products they use than the dirt and dust they are trying to get rid of in their homes.

The chemicals found in some cleaning products could be triggering a host of allergies resulting in a domestic sickness which can affect your eyes, throat, nose and even skin, claims Allens Healthcare, makers of the traditional Pine & Honey Balsam.

It is well known that air fresheners which contain volatile organic compounds can bring on bouts of asthma, the same is true for polish sprays. Other cleaning products like bleach, toilet and oven cleaner can give off toxic fumes which can irritate eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Worse still, if the product comes into direct contact with your skin it can bring on rashes and welts in the most severe of cases.

Howard Dixon from Allens Healthcare comments,

"We have seen a general increase in the number of allergies afflicting people in recent years and much of this can be attributed to modern day living. Items which are supposed to make our lives easier are, in fact, making us ill.

We have been making Allens Pine & Honey Balsam for over 100 years and regular users have commented that our natural tonic not only helps with the treatment of coughs and colds but also reduces aggravating symptoms of allergies".

A true taste of the past, Allens Pine & Honey Balsam is an old-fashioned medicine based on natural ingredients (85%).

It has been called an entire medicine chest in a bottle bringing year-round relief to a whole host of ailments including coughs, colds and flu, sore throats and stuffiness. People who suffer from asthma, catarrh, hay fever and other allergies have also found it beneficial.
