Do you have an Allergy?
|
ALLERGIES When I think of allergies, the first thought that comes to mind is seasonal allergies. There are other types of allergies, including food allergies, or you may be allergic to things that come in contact with your skin. Sometime I may discuss those types of allergic reactions, but for now, we'll focus on allergies caused by season changes.
In the Spring the beautiful trees that are all over our property are budding and coating everything with their green pollen. This is when I used to suffer from sinus headaches, and when I am most inclined to experience allergy symptoms.
In the fall, it's my son's turn, he is more sensitive to ragweed pollen. He sneezes and coughs, until he takes his ALJ . If I were to recommend one thing for seasonal allergies, it would be the the herbal combination, ALJ, which acts as a natural decongestant and has some immune building properties. It is available in tablet, capsule or liquid form. It contains mullien which has been used to open up the breathing, and fenugreek which seems to help liquify mucous. It has other properties that help the immune response. This is one of my FAVORITE herbal combinations. It works!! If your allergies have irritated your sinuses to the point that infection is present, or has lead to other secondary infections, I would suggest adding Echinacea & Golden Seal Extract or Capsule, a combination of herbs historically used for their natural antibiotic and immune building properties. Allergies are often a sign of a weak immune system. If you do the work of building the immune system by changing your diet, and taking immune-building herbal foods, you will find that, over time, you will not experience allergy symptoms as severely, and in some cases, may no longer experience them at all. If you are miserable with many food and environmental allergies, please consider taking the online Nutrition & Health Evaluation so I can help you. |
