To mark Eczema Awareness Week The Healthy House looks at how you can create a healing environment to ease this skin condition.

Part 1 - How Dust Mites can affect eczema.

If you, or your child, have suddenly developed eczema you will soon discover it takes more than a dab of cream from your doctor to manage your symptoms.

Going away from home for the first time or even going back after a long summer holiday can be a stressful time, especially for young people who suffer from allergies.

What do we need to open our minds?

It's a fact - we all do it.  We hear and read about healthy living. For most of us, it's only when we have a real problem to solve that we prick up our ears and really listen.

This happened to us when our children were little and we simply had to make changes in order for them to be healthy.

Air pollution is now one of our greatest environmental health threats.

This is why there is such a global interest in air pollution. A message from our supplier prior to the launch of Hextio: "Our entry (into Smogathon - ‘Technologies For Fighting Smog’) was with Hextio and based on providing people with a safe indoor environment - we were the only air purification technology and only team from  the UK to get through to the final. We came first in the grand finale and fifth overall."

It's hard to overestimate the benefits of a well-fitting, efficient allergy mask when it comes to breathing protection at home and on the go.

Contrary to popular belief, masks are not just for sufferers of severe allergies. In fact, virtually everyone can benefit from a mask. Whether it's for commuting and cycling to cleaning the house and walking the dog, a mask can make a range of everyday activities healthier and more comfortable.

And now that the hay fever season is upon us, a mask can really help to reduce your sysmptoms.
