Helpful Hints for Respiratory Patients: GROOMING

Stay Young at Heart Recipe

  • Many of us find that B scents are irritating and unpleasant. Try to avoid toiletries that are too heavily perfumed. These may leave you and your friends gasping.
  • Women are advised to avoid elaborate hairdos which will need tiresome setting and extended use of hand-held blowers and dryers. (Men too!)
  • Also, MOST IMPORTANT, we are in agreement that the use of all kinds of aerosols and sprays, except those prescribed by a physician, is a bad idea. We all have sufficient respiratory problems without adding to them by inhaling unknown substances. Many sprays may be alright, but why take chances? There are many good liquid or gel type hair dressings, and the roll-on or solid deodorants are excellent. Some of these products are now available unscented.
  • If you are troubled by occasional accidental loss of urine brought on by coughing, overexertion or stress, the small flat sanitary pads with adhesive backs may be useful in keeping neat.
