All Natural Allergy Treatment

Allergies are nothing to sneeze at. Dust, pores, and pollen come in through the nasal passages, irritating you and leaving you sniffling and sore as you gradually forget what it once was like to not be congested. We have all been there. Unfortunately, the conventional choices are either to suffer through the season or medicate with allergy medication that simply knocks you out. I for one don’t want to sleep through spring, so I use these strategies to make the season bearable.

 

Stay in good health

This may be an obvious point, but the better health you are in at the start of allergy season, generally the better off you will be. Be sure to eat a lot of produce and drink half of your body weight in ounces of water per day.  Plus, because your body won’t be in overdrive from reacting to all of your allergy triggers, it will be greater equipped to fight off other illnesses and leave you feeling better overall

 

Herbs

The following herbs have wonderful historical results for improving allergy symptoms. Try to find them as ingredients in herbal teas:

  • Dong quai (Angelica sinensis) – Used as an antihistamine and anti-inflammatory.
  • Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis) – Reduces congestion and secretions. It is good for itchy eyes, sneezing, and excess mucus.
  • Gingko (Gingko biloba) – Contains bioflavonoids and is used as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
  • Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) – Helps reduce allergic, inflammatory, and histaminic reactions and supports liver function.
  • Red clover (Trifolium pratense) – Helps build the body’s resistance to allergies.
  • Stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) – Used as an antihistamine and anti-inflammatory.
  • Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) – Reduces congestion and secretions.

If tea isn’t your thing, you can also try to find these herbs in the form of supplements. Be sure you check with your health practitioner to get the best herbal recommendation for you to make sure they won’t interfere with any medications you are currently taking. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

 

FSA (Fun Sweaty Activities)

Not only will this help you achieve your goal of good health, but several minutes of vigorous activity will open up nasal passages and decongest you.

 

 

Homeopathics

The concept behind homeopathy is that “like cures like.” So, homeopathic treatment for allergies is for one to take very small amounts of that which they are allergic to. Eventually, the body will create a tolerance. I can individualize homeopathic recommendations to help support your body through allergy season.

 

 

Energetic Assessment and Allergies

Sniffles, sneezes, body aches, and exhaustion. Seasonal allergies are a real pain. How do you treat them, though? The conventional method is by popping pills and drinking thick syrup every time symptoms rear their ugly heads. If you are familiar with these treatments, then you know what comes next: heavy eyelids and coma-like sleep.

While sleep can be relieving after a rough day of dealing with symptoms, is this really the proper way to deal with allergies? If you are just sleeping through your symptoms, what is really being solved?

This is where I come in.

While I cannot diagnose anyone with an allergy, I can perform an energetic assessment to show you the way your body reacts to certain elements and recommend appropriate homeopathics to help support your body. The way that the assessment works is as follows: frequencies of different elements (specific tree pollen, molds, etc) are introduced through the skin via a metal stylus and a stress response is recorded. The higher the stress response, the more likely there is a sensitivity.

I will run through a list of frequencies of common pollen and molds as well as a number of other toxins that could possibly be linked to your symptoms. Then, I will imprint the frequencies of the specific allergens into a bottle that is securely balanced for environmental allergens. This will give your body the support it needs to feel well again.

This test is non-invasive and results are immediate. In one sitting, you can be assessed for how your body responds to stressors at an energetic level and receive a custom protocol for healing. Why not give it a try? Sign up for a free phone consultation and let’s talk about your needs.
