When you love yourself, you make decisions that nurture and support you. When it comes to your health, you have the chance to make conscious choices, whether it be taking yourself to a health practitioner for care or choosing a salad when you go out to eat.  When you choose to take care of yourself, you are also choosing to take care of your inner child. This leads you to feel safer within you and to trust yourself more.

Today, I would like to share something special with you…a beautiful book that teaches parents and children with allergies exactly how to care for, nurture and support themselves and lead fulfilling lives.

I recently had the honor and privilege of meeting the author of “Allergies, and Awesome You”, Dr. Atul Shah.  He is called “The Amazing Allergist,” and I can see why!  He is a beautiful Light, a big Heart, and in his book, I see deep Compassion for those in his care.

Inspiring and positive, Dr. Shah shares his wisdom through the story of two young children and how they can prevent allergies from disrupting their daily lives. It’s vivid, colorful and full of heart. It’s a wonderful children’s book that helps promote self-confidence and answers common questions about allergies.

“Allergies, and Awesome You” shows that taking constant allergy medications is not the only option for kids with persistent allergies.  Dr. Shah includes several checklists: One  on “Fun Activities”, one for having a “Great Day” and one for “Exercises Before Going to Bed.”  They are a fun and engaging way to help children take more responsibility for their own care, while at the same time promoting Relaxation, conscious Breathing and most importantly, Self-Love.

Finally, for parents there is a comprehensive “Frequently Asked Questions” section with an extensive Resources page at the back.

If you know of anyone – child or adult – who deals with allergies, or if you are one yourself, I encourage you to check out Dr. Shah’s book as a beautiful and heartfelt resource for making an allergy-free world a very possible reality for all!
