The harder we work our backs, the more they are affected. Favorable heat from our waterbeds combined with the even pressure of the waterbed combine to relax the back much faster and allow the spine to be quickly restored to normal. Heat relaxes overworked muscles and can temporarily relieve the effects of arthritis, rheumatism and other joint conditions. Dust-mites are a microscopic relative of spiders that live in our furniture and carpets. They thrive in our bedrooms because of the heat and warmth we give off.
Dust mites feed off our dead skin cells.
Unfortunately their droppings have a protein that many people are allergic to. Ten percent of Americans today have asthma which is the leading cause of children missing school. Dust mites are possibly the number one cause of asthma problems in the home. Dust mites live about six weeks and female dust mites lay between 60 to 80 eggs during their lifetime. Dust mites have no natural predator so they just keep multiplying.
