CIDER VINEGAR NATURAL PRODUCTS BENEFITS

« Apple in the morning keeps the doctor away … « 

At read the literature on the subject, cider vinegar is a blessing of the gods
to cure and relieve almost all the ills of the earth. You already get my sarcasm is not it …


cider vinegar

 

Well according to studies on the subject, cider vinegar
took first place in the home remedies for treating a
host of ailments, from arthritis to dry skin.

Some properties that give it:

  • -fight tires and insomnia

  • – Restores energy

  • – Aid in the treatment of arthritis

  • – Helps digestion

  • – Relieves sore throat and laryngitis

  • – Relieves symptoms of asthma or flu

  • – Helps maintain healthy skin and reduce signs of aging

As a biologist by training, my first reaction was of course skeptical. No, but what is the relationship between all these evils, that cause physiologically, cider vinegar has an action so varied?

p3112682

The Cider vinegar is rich in minerals (particularly potassium,
chlorine, calcium, sulfur, iron, fluorine, silicon), vitamins, acids
amino acids and trace elements. Many of the evils mentioned above may
indeed be created by mineral deficiency.

As for our topic here (but your beauty my dear!), Cider vinegar is made to set out on the many uses skin. We may add to its properties by steeping them plants (watch out for impatient, however, must wait 6 weeks to filter through and use it): one that creates an all-in-vinegar is delicious for salads, but also a precious fluid for use in the manufacture of toners, masks, wash hair (especially if you use handmade soap, which tends to dull the hair by leaving residues).

Obviously, the apple cider is very acidic, so you have to go sparingly if you have a tendency to react to fruit acids, for example. I had the unpleasant experience of having her face all puffy the morning after a shock treatment with cider vinegar, so be wiser and dilute it in water or do a « patch text » prior to go big …

Here below follows an excellent text that I found on the topic: even before I read the site, I had already made something similar!
Incredible!

 

It are several ways to use cider vinegar. The most used
is to drink as a beverage that is very refreshing:
two tablespoons of cider vinegar to a glass of water
possibly supplemented with one or two tablespoons of honey (to
early one can start with one tablespoon of vinegar and
honey). There are also apple cider vinegar capsules, sold
pharmacy or health food stores. People
who adopt this choice should however be aware that it is
important to drink at least a full glass of water with the intake of
caplets. For sinus problems, headaches and colds, it can
inhalations make cider vinegar. Two to three tablespoons
cider vinegar to a large bowl of boiling water. Se
cover your head above the bowl and inhale the fumes. Can
also use cider vinegar for a relaxing bath. A large
glass of cider vinegar in the bathwater.

FinallyHere is the recipe for the famous 4 thieves vinegar.
Lhas Legend has it that in France, in 1726, four thieves took advantage of
the plague to steal with impunity the belongings of people having succumbed to the dreaded disease.
When they were finally apprehended, the judge offered them a lesser sentence in exchange for the secret that had been immune to the contagion of the evil feared. They told they anointed the body of a composition of vinegar to protect themselves and drank daily.

Bed Bugs

How to kill bed bugs

Preparation for the treatment of bed bugs

Bed bugs have oval flattened bodies, wingless and measure 4-7 mm long. They are a shiny brown colored insect. They swell after a blood meal and then take a dark brown color. There are three stages in the development cycle of a flea: egg, nymph and adult. The eggs are white and about 1 mm long. The nymphs look the same as adults, but are smaller. The last stage takes six weeks to several months to happen. The bug is usually found in the bedroom where it feeds on the sleepers’ blood at night.

Bed bugs
 

Biology Bed bugs feed on human blood: The most common species is the common bed bug (Cimex Mlectularius). They are a serious nuisance and abundantly present.

Bed bugs
Bed bugs

A blood meal takes 10 to 15 minutes for the adult bedbug, but less time for the nymph. During the day, the bug lies mainly on the periphery of the mattress. Depending on the degree of the infestation, it is also found hidden in cracks on the walls, floors and furnitures, in bed frames, behind pictures and under the wallpaper, hiding places also serve as breeding sites.

A temperature of 44oC to 45oC (111oF – 113oF) is lethal to these bugs. Their survival time is assessed to about 20 minutes when the temperature is 65oC.

Adults can survive more than a year without getting any blood.

Dispersion

Bed bugs
Bed bugs

The bug does not get far from its host if it can eat from them regularly. If the infestation is heavy, they can migrate to other rooms. The absence of prey leads to a dispersion of the bug. Thus, when the bugs are present in a room where the people sleep regularly, they tend to stay put. Be careful because if you remove them from the room, the bugs will be dispersed throughout the house or even elsewhere in the building. If this is not the case, they move from one room to another while walking on the ground. Removal or displacement of articles already infested (furniture, bedding, clothing, suitcases, etc..) From an inhabited place to another is the main mode of spread of bedbugs.

Bed bugs

Importance for your health

Table 1 summarizes the main effects on the skin (and other more rare cases) associated with bedbug bites. The lesions are similar to those occasioned by a mosquito bite. Typically, bedbug bites appear as three to four bites in a straight line or grouped in one place on the skin, but if the house is seriously infested, several lesions may appear in multiple places on exposed skin when sleeping.

For most people, the bites will result in the formation of small reddish lesions that develop into elevated and hardened lesions. There is frequently a central puncture site of inoculation. These lesions cause severe itching, therefore, they are very troublesome. These lesions are more symptomatic in the morning and the intensity of redness and pruritus (itching) decreases during the day. The lesions occur mainly on exposed arms, legs and back. If the person is not stung again, the lesions disappear after two weeks.

Effects much less frequent but more serious may occur such as nettlerash and giant bulbous eruption that may be hemorrhagic. Children with atopy (allergies) are more likely to develop papular urticaria. Finally, anaphylactic reactions have rarely been documented (see Table 1 for a brief description of these effects on health).

In another words, secondary bacterial infections can occur from recurrent scratching from itching. However, this case is rare.

Table 1. Summary of skin problems associated with bedbugs

Type of problem Brief Description Frequency
Wheal A smooth, slightly elevated, more reddish or pale skin surrounding the associated itching and usually transient. Following each bite
Nettlerash Rapid swelling of the skin with severe itching. Rare
Bulbous eruptions sometimes bleeding Similar to the bells on the skin, sometimes filled with blood. Rare
Papular urticaria Presence of papules 3 to 10 mm, sometimes surmounted by a vesicle that is more persistent than the wheals or typical nettlerash. These lesions can last from several weeks to several months. They are generally clustered and occur more often in young children. We can find these lesions on exposed parts. Rare

No research has focused on the impact of an infestation by bugs on mental health and sleep. However, some references indicate that repeated bug bites could cause insomnia and anxiety.

Although at one time bug bites were suspected of transmitting viral hepatitis, or to develop anemia caused by multiple stings, so far, no proof of disease transmission by bugs or development of anemia has been documented.

Improper application of insecticides on mattresses to eliminate bugs can have important effects on health, particularly towards children. This practice is therefore to be avoided (see next section).

Control Measures

When the presence of bedbugs is suspected, it is strongly advised to call a professional to ensure that they are located correctly and that the various control methods (including the use of insecticides in some areas) are adequately made according to the standards. exterminators must first ensure that the right product is used and that insecticides are not spread over the beds of people. The exterminator is coming every month out of two in order to kill the bugs that will hatch despite the first use of insecticide. Several steps must be taken by the occupant during the process of extermination. These measures are explained to tenants by the firm responsible of the extermination.

Locating the insects

The infestation can be confirmed by the discovery (in the potential hiding places of bedbugs) of live insects, exuviae, eggs or faeces. These can be visible as small dark brown or black spots on the sheets, walls and wallpaper, and sometimes even in electrical appliances.

Control Methods

1. Physical Barriers

Simple barriers may be used. A barrier can be made by coating the legs of the bed with a few inches of petroleum jelly (Vaseline).

However, it should ensure that no part of the bed touches a wall that would provide an alternative access to the bed.

2. Cleaning by vacuum

Vacuuming is a very effective way to remove bugs already present. It is recommended to vacuum the mattress and box springs particularly where the seams, folds and structures are in the infested beds. If the outer envelope of the mattress is torn, bed bugs may have seeped inside it. If so, you may be obliged to dispose of the mattress, in this case, it is very important to clearly indicate that the mattress is infested so as not to shift the problem elsewhere. You should also vacuum the floor and where it is suspected that the bugs are hiding. Be sure to get rid of the vacuum bag immediately, without opening it, in a place where bugs can’t disperse again.

Used furniture should always be carefully inspected and cleaned before being used. Bedbugs are easily dispersed through the exchange of furniture or clothes.

3. Cleaning the bedding

Bedding (pillowcases, sheets, mattress covers, etc.) and linen should be washed with hot water and soap. The bedding should be placed directly into the washer from a plastic bag to prevent the spread of bedbugs in the laundry room and around the building.

4. Use of insecticides

We recall that it is always advisable to hire a professional exterminator to treat your home with insecticides. It will use a registered insecticide while respecting the recommendations designed to minimize the risks associated with the use of these products. Among the effective insecticides, it is preferable to use pyrethrins, pyrethroids and boric acid, as these products have a lower toxicity to humans than many other types of insecticides. People should avoid to do the extermination themselves, since the bugs are often resistant to the product used. If the product is misused, it will aggravate the problem rather than decrease it. Moreover, it is strongly recommended to use hot steam for the treatment of the mattress which are favorite places for bugs. This technique is effective and can significantly reduce children’s exposure to insecticides.

Pyrethrins and pyrethroids are sprayed everywhere we can find bedbugs, or along cracks in the walls, floor and furniture, bed frames, behind pictures and under the wallpaper. You must ventilate the area after the application of insecticides. Neither people nor animals should enter the rooms during the application of treatment or re-enter treated areas within two hours after treatment, and preferably six hours after treatment. It is also important to not walk barefoot on treated areas until 24-48 hours.

Boric acid is applied along the cracks in walls, floors, behind furniture and under the wallpaper that generally have bedbugs.

The insecticides do not work on the eggs. We must therefore repeat the treatment a month after applying the first treatment to ensure that the problem is eliminated.

Identification

Bed bugs
Bed bugs

Adults: 5-8 mm
Nymphs: 1-5 mm
Eggs: 1 mm
Antennas: 4 segments

The color varies from a pale yellow to a brownish red depending on the stage of development and blood ingested.

/ Signs of infestation

  • Bites
  • Bloodstains on the sheets or pillows
  • Faeces (black spots)
  • Exuviae (empty skin left behind after moulting)
  • Adults and nymphs
  • eggs (white)
  • A peculiar smell musty or moldy (infestations)

Biology

Bed bugs
Eggs Bed bugs

Egg production:

  • 1 to 5 eggs per day per adult female
  • Up to 500 eggs per female in his life
  • The eggs are attached by a sticky secretion
  • 6 to 10 days to hatch

Life cycle

  • from egg to adult: 21 days at 30 ° C and 120 days at 16 ° C (relative humidity 75-80%)
  • 5 nymphal stages requiring a blood meal and a moulting to the next stage
  • Life expectancy under normal conditions: 316 days
  • 3 to 4 generations per year

Development Factors

  • Minimum temperature for development: 13 ° C
  • Lethal temperatures: Low: -16 ° C constant for 4 days. High: 50 ° C for 3 hours.
  • Much prefer human blood but merely a warm-blooded animal.
  • Their meals take 3 to 12 minutes.
  • Under certain conditions, adult bed bugs can survive a year without feeding.

Habits

  • Bedbugs move into the bags, luggage, furniture and other objects and are carried by people.
  • Once introduced, they are often spread throughout the building.
  • They tend to move as close as possible to their food source.
  • They can move anywhere when the population increases.
  • When disturbed or hunted, they hide anywhere.
  • They gather in groups in their hiding places where they lay eggs, defecate and moult.
  • The bugs come out at night but could be active by day if the food is not available at night or during a severe infestation.
  • Bedbugs are attracted by carbon dioxide, heat and body odor.
  • We generally observed that when given a choice, prefer to bite children first, then women and men as a last choice.
  • Bedbugs prefer a dry, semi obscure, tissues or uneven surfaces.
  • Its preference is for wood surfaces, paper and tissues.
  • Bedbugs disdain drafts, polished surfaces and metal objects, but they can still navigate.
  • They do not like the movement.
  • After treatment, if no bite or no evidence of the presence of bugs is found in a period of 45 days, the problem is almost certainly set. If there is occurrence of bugs or bites after a period of 45 days without activity, bedbugs have very likely been reintroduced.

Factors of the bedbugs’ resurgence in the world

  • Although nearly exterminated in North America after World War II, bedbugs have remained widespread in Asia, Africa, Central and South America and Europe.
  • Bugs naturally settle in the bags, luggage, furniture and other objects and are carried by the millions of visitors and tourists.
  • The more targeted use of insecticides and bait traps for several years has given free rein to bugs.
  • The recall of several insecticides that were effective against bedbugs and other restrictions on the use of insecticides.
  • Lack of knowledge of our own health and of the population in general helped to disperse the bugs before making a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Health risk

  • Although bugs can sometimes carry human pathogens, no study could prove they also transmit it. For this reason, Health Canada does not consider it a public health problem. We believe that this could change.
  • Lack of sleep
  • Infections of the wounds if you scratch
  • Isolation or psychological problems
  • Repeated exposure to insecticides if multiple treatments are inconclusive
  • Respiratory problems due to exuviae’s particles of bugs that are found in the air.

Bite Reaction

Bed bugs
Bite of Bed bugs
  • Reactions can vary greatly from one person to another depending on his degree of sensitivity
  • Normally, small red swelling appears because of an allergy some people have. It is a reaction to the saliva injected by the bug
  • 30% of the population have no reaction after being stung
  • The reaction can occur up to 2 weeks after the bite

Working with your landlord and / or manager of property is desirable and even crucial to overcome the infestation. It will be important to contact him to get a date for the treatment.

Talk with him to know how all the stages of the preparation are going before the treatment. Listed below are the recommendations that will help you prepare the affected areas of your home for the treatment.

Kill Bed bugs
  • Empty the closets, drawers, desks. Place bedding and clothing in plastic bags, close them and take them out of the room. Make sure all bags are securely closed before moving from one room to another.
  • Wash bedding and clothing in the hottest water possible, then dry them at the highest temperature. Replace all bedding and clothing in new plastic bags and close them again.
  • All carpets, handmade carpets, upholstery and imported fabrics require steam cleaning and / or professional dry cleaning.
  • Throw away unnecessary clutter and remove any objects lying on the floor. Wash all floors, desks, drawers, closets housing before treatment.
  • Use a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool to capture bed bugs and eggs. Vacuum crevices of the mattress on the bed frame, box spring, headboard, bed legs, baseboards, quarter round, trim and all the objects that are near the bed. Repeat the same process in all parts of the house. Make sure the vacuum has a bag that can be removed after each use. Avoid using bag-less vacuums. Vacuum every day after the application of insecticide and remove the bag after each use.
  • 24 hours after treatment, you can put the lingerie and clothing in the desks, dressers, drawers, closets and night stands. Do not wash the insecticide for at least 30 days or 90 days, for best results.

No animals, fish, reptile or bird should be in contact with the workpiece infected for at least 30 days after application of the insecticide.

When the treatment is done, particularly when the mattress and pillows have been treated, we recommend closing the door of the room in question and preferably wait at least 24 hours before returning to sleep, especially if it’s a child’s room. Although low toxicity pesticides are recommended, you should still respect the delay to reduce the risk of exposure and particularly for those who are more sensitive. Once the delay is over, it is necessary to ensure proper ventilation of the room, ideally, by opening the window for some time. After making sure the mattress is dry, you will then have to put a mattress cover in plastic with a zipper, clean sheets and pillowcases before going to bed again.

If the mattress, box springs, futons, sofa beds and chairs have cracks and / or holes, they must be put in the trash. You will have to make sure it is respecting the environment and public health.

With the autumn, during 1 month with 1 month and half, this fall is more important than during the other months of the year but this seasonal variation does not present abnormal character.

, the phase of fall is followed of pushes back. So on the other hand, the fall is final one speaks then about alopécia being able to go until a complete baldness.

Alopécie

If the seasonal fall of the autumn persists after its normal period from 4 to 6 weeks, or if the of hair is abnormal during several months, it there place to be worried some.

That can be with a catch of certain drugs (if it is the case, it is indicated on the note as for the amphetamines or the anticoagulants) or with a food deficiency (proteins, iron, zinc). The stress, an emotional shock or a disease can be at the origin of the of hair. It is to better ask its doctor a complete checkup to find the cause of this alopécie.

At the , this of baldness is hereditary and is transmitted of wire father. Thus if your father were victim of baldness, there is a very strong probability so that you yourself are reached by it. In fact, the androgenic male hormones shorten the lifespan of the hair. If these male hormones are produced in too strong quantity, the lifespan of the hair accelerates. Their fall becomes too fast then. Pushes back is delayed, is done under bad conditions or does not intervene any more.

The Hypnos Story

Peter Keen
GEORGE HENRY KEEN
(1860-1926)

HYPNOS BEDS MATTRESS
Hypnos has years of success behind the family-run company and has been producing handmade beds for over four generations – beds that have given countless nights of comfortable sleep to many thousands of people. Proud holders of two Royal Warrants, the Hypnos philosophy of quality and comfort is maintained throughout their product range. The Chairman, Peter Keen is the great grandson of the original founder and the product has been hand-crafted using traditional methods from the very first day of existence.

Handmade BedsDeep pocket-spring beds are the trademark of Hypnos, elegant handmade beds which are still produced by craftsmen, many of whom have worked at Hypnos since their apprenticeship and who all take a great personal pride in the skilled work that goes into producing each Hypnos bed. The skills used by these craftsmen have been handed down through generations and the art of making a quality bed lives on from father to son, mother to daughter, through Hypnos.

Hypnos beds are still made in a similar way to those slept on by our fathers and grandfathers. Every detail on a Hypnos bed is considered from the natural fillings in the mattresses, to the specially balanced springs in the Royal box, to the expertly cut high quality Belgium damask cloths, to the selected soft and hard woods, to the fine handmade wool tufts. Considered, tried and tested producing the ultimate in comfort, quality and craftsmanship.

Choosing a bed is a very personal decision and one not to be undertaken lightly. When you consider that up to a third of your life will be spent in bed, it only makes sense to spend that time in Royal Comfort. At Hypnos, we make that perfect bed to suit your specific needs, for a supportive and restful nights sleep.
Manufacturing Process

History of the Royal Warrant

Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II

To be a Warrant holder you must first supply the Royal Household with unrivalled quality products or services for five consecutive years. The Lord Chamberlain (head of the Royal households) advises the grantors on the granting of Royal Warrants but the final decision rests with the grantor concerned. Thereafter the Warrant is reviewed every five years. Hypnos has been handcrafting the finest bespoke mattresses for two Royal Warrant holders. Queen Elizabeth II and The Late Queen Mother.

To this day only the finest quality products are associated with the Royal Warrants and Hypnos is extremely proud to have carried the Royal Warrants of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and The Late Queen Mother for over 37 years. To be honoured by two Royal Households is unprecedented. Other Royal Warrant holders include; Rolls Royce & Bentley Motorcars, Dunlop, Aston Martin, Burberry Limited, Royal Doulton, Jaguar Motorcars, Austin Reed Group PLC, Steinway & Sons and Land Rover & Range Rover.

Hypnos Mattress Benefit Information

Handcrafting – Hypnos is the only truly handcrafted mattress in Canada.

Genuine Side Stitching: The borders of Hypnos mattress are expertly sewn through the sides to the coil system. This is a very time consuming process but the end results are well worth while. This procedure makes a Hypnos mattress the most structurally sound mattress available in Canada.

Hand Tufting: Unlike other tufted looking mattresses in Canada, Hypnos tufts go through the entire body of the mattress. This means the tuft you see on the top is connected to the one on the bottom. Adding another layer of structural integrity and helping the natural fills stay in place.

Matching Fabric Trim: Most mattresses use a very hard pre-fabricated tape edge to give a finish to the corner. Hypnos uses the same fabric as the body of the bed. This means a very soft and luxurious finish even to the edges.

Pure Brass: many other companies put brass coated finishes on their products so they will look elegant. Only Hypnos uses solid brass plates and vents for strength and longevity of life.

Natural Fill – Hypnos uses only the finest of natural fills

Cotton and Wool are strategically placed and combined for complete climate control. Warmth in the winter and cool in the summer.

Silk and Wool let you feel like you are floating on a cloud, most say a feeling like you have never had with a mattress.

Teased White Hair and Cashmere is a unique blend of Cattle, Hog tail and Cashmere that is designed to keep its shape even after many years of service. This blend of hair is heat treated to be completely clean, then bonded to give the long life shape retention.

Belgium Damask is not only luxurious looking but the one of the most tightly woven upholstery materials available to the bedding industry and is custom made just for Hypnos.

Body Support – Unique pocket coil design for true complete body support

Coil Counts: most pocket coil systems in Canada have about 500 to 800 coils in a queen size mattress. Hypnos starts over 1,000 coils and goes to over 2,000 individual pocket coils. Some other companies claim coil counts of this amount, however they typically stack coils on top of coils to accomplish this. Hypnos only uses individually wrapped full height coil for complete and perfect body forming support.

Honey Combing: Hypnos is one of the few companies that honeycomb (nest) their pocket coils together virtually eliminating the gaps between coils. This give you maximum body support no matter how you lay or how small an area you need supported.

Centre Tying: most coil manufactures connect their pocket coils together at the top in one form or another. Even the coil is still independent as one coil moves it moves the one beside it. Hypnos runs treads through the middle of its coil system allowing the tops to totally work independently of each other, again giving you perfect body support for every little curve.

Firmness

Firmness vs Support: Often firmness and support are confused. Medical research has shown that it is proper support, not firmness, that cares for your muscle aches and pains. Further proper support will keep your spinal column in a straight line, in turn giving you a good nights sleep and physical well being. Hypnos’ unique coil structure is designed with this in mind. It will give you the support and comfort you need, for a good nights sleep and keep those morning aches away.

Firmness: Hypnos further offers their coils in different firmness’. This is so no matter what your body build is, there is a Hypnos mattress for you.

Dust Mite Control

Belgium Damask: The average person loses 11 pounds of skin per year. Our extremely tight woven Belgium Damask almost eliminates the dead skin from penetrating into the bed. Without this dead skin Dust Mites do not have the food they need to survive.

Natural Fills: Our unique combination of natural materials produces an enviroment that Dust Mites do not like and works as a natural Dust Mite inhibitor.

Moisture Control: It is a very well know fact that Dust Mites thrive in a moist warm setting. Hypnos mattresses are designed to breath, keeping them clean and dry inside for years and in turn eliminating a Dust Mites prefered residence.

Mold & Mildew Control

Natural Fills: Most mattresses in Canada use a combinations of different types of foams. Some are even completely foam. The average person loses about 1 cup of moisture each evening. This inevitably moves into your mattress. Foam is like a big sponge which absorbs and holds that moisture. Mold and mildew quickly builds up and creates an unhealthy sleeping environment. Natural fills breath taking that moisture from you.

Brass Airvents: After the Natural fills move the moisture way from you. As you move around the bed the individual coils push that moisture out the brass airvents. In a nutshell your bed breaths like no other so it can stay clean and healthy for a long time.

Asthma friendly

NO FOAMS: With no foams, Hypnos mattresses do not give off that petroleum gas that other mattresses do. Right from day one, foams start breaking down giving off a gas that can seriously effect the breathing of sensitive individuals. Further one of memory foams natural properties is to trap heat. They are often found to be too warm and uncomfortable.

Other Gases: Dust mites themselves do not really harm us. However the gas emitted from their faescies can become a serious issue. With Hypnos’ natural Dust Mite control this problem is minimized.

Effects from Mold & Mildew: Many asthmatics are extremely sensitive to Molds and Mildew. Because Hypnos mattresses stray extremely clean inside with its natural breathing, making it the cleanest mattress in Canada.

RAGWEED ALLERGY-Ragweed or AMBROSIA – Symptoms – Recognize ragweed and how to eliminate-Montreal Quebec Canada

RAGWEED ALLERGY
Ambrosia (ragweed) in the month August



Ragwed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.)
The Ambrosia grows in sunny, dry, often poor and where there is no competition with other plant species. To prevent its establishment, it is sufficient to limit the bare soil, by taking a seeding of plants adapted to site conditions and promoting effect by fertilization.Control of Ambrosia will not totally eliminate the problem but will reduce the rate of pollen in the air and thus help a large number of people inconvenienced by this allergy season.
Ragweed or AMBROSIA

Symptoms – Recognize ragweed and how to eliminate

Stuffy nose, watery eyes and itchy, the month of August to first frost, ragweed is still claiming victims. So without further ado, let’s learn to identify this weed which bears the Latin name of Ambrosia artemisiifolia. Once unmasked to fight against this problem, simply enforce the uprooting or cutting short just before flowering. THERE is no risk of allergic reaction to touch.

The appearance of ragweed

L'herbe à poux - son apparenceRagweed with its hairy stem and leaves of a greyish green.

What is it like this annual plant, responsible for the uncomfortable hay fever? She looks rather harmless and resembles almost any weed. So its asset: knowledge go unnoticed!

The ragweed reaches an average height of 70 cm. The stem, covered with hair, is topped with sheets of grayish green, thin and tightly cropped. They are opposed to the base and alternate at the top. During the months of June and July, the plant is covered with tiny green flowers shaped ear grouped at ends of stems. In August, flowering bursts to let fly into the air billions of pollen grains. And now, the damage is done!

Urban housing

To eliminate ragweed, it is still necessary to know where she is housed. The reaction promotes coexistence and flourished in colonies, encouraged by the rays of the sun.

The ragweed seems to have a penchant for right-of railroads, edges of sidewalks, construction sites, poorly maintained land, a piece of bare earth where calcium has burned the grass in a corner of the garden where the soil has been disturbed. It grows as … a weed!

Symptoms rather unpleasant

Casually, the ragweed causes great discomfort to more than 17.5% of our population. Its pollen causes severe unlucky in some reaction:

Pollen - herbe à poux

  • Irritation of the nose
  • Tingling of the throat
  • Repeated sneezing
  • Eyes swollen and teary
  • Sinus congestion
  • Hoarse cough up some chronic asthma

Health problems, social costs engendered by runaway medical costs and absenteeism at work, these are some of the consequences of this phenomenon that deserves our attention. A radical solution is needed: stop the problem at source by getting rid of the guilty!

Not to be confused with poison ivy

Poison ivy tends to grow near forested areas. This plant bears trifoliate leaves and hard fruit ranging in color from yellow to dull white. These leaves are almost smooth, glossy and sometimes alternate on a woody stem. His contact with the skin causes itchy skin immediately.

Ragweed, meanwhile, presents no danger to the touch and can be pulled at any time without consequence. And when we learn that the survivability of its seeds in the soil is more than 40 years, we realize the importance of taking all necessary means to make it disappear immediately spotted.

Dealing with it … before August!

How to get rid of this plant detestable? The simplest is to snatch it. It’s easy to do since it has a poorly developed root system. But beware! It is essential to perform the operation in June or July at the latest, that is to say, before flowering.

Regularly maintain his lawn. Mainly mowing evenly along the ground making sure to line the exposed corners, are all ways to prevent the emergence of this weed.

While grubbing remains the means of destruction over the practice, one can, in the case of land covered with grass, ragweed, shave regularly ground undesirables. In this way, we prevent them from unleashing their flowering so devastating. However, if one can not overcome, the services of professionals will undoubtedly save an infested field.
