How to relieve Hay Fever naturally
If you're like millions of people around the country plagued with seasonal allergies, the return of summer can literally bring tears to your eyes.
Instead of being outdoors and smelling the roses, allergy sufferers have already retreated indoors to battle a war of sneezing fits, scratchy eyes, runny noses and the dreaded post-nasal drip.
The culprit, commonly known as hay fever, attacks when your body's immune system over-reacts to dust, pollens, grasses and other allergens in the air.
Traditionally, people with seasonal allergies have sought temporary relief from over-the-counter medications in the form of antihistamines, decongestants and nasal sprays.
But chronic sufferers have become all too aware that allergy medicines can cause annoying and sometimes even dangerous side effects.
There are other effective healing approaches such as medicinal herbs that are available, and in general, are much safer with fewer side effects.
The herbal method in treating allergies involves naturally strengthening the immune system, providing support for the adrenal glands and using the right combination of herbs.
So if you're sick and tired of your allergies, fed up with annoying side effects that can rival the allergies themselves ,check out these natural remedies and get on the road to healing.
First, let’s look at a natural approach that is based on Chinese medicine philosophy.
It’s a natural juice fasting method that is a blood purification and cleansing diet to promote a strong immune system and good digestion.
Health experts recommend a juice using raw carrots, celery and apple juice.
Magnesium-rich foods are also believed to help prevent allergies. Lima beans, white and red beans, millet, or bananas.
You can add sprouts, green, leafy vegetables, root vegetables, and yellow fruit and vegetables to the diet and occasionally eat brown rice.
Studies show that vitamins, minerals and herbs enhance the immune system without weakening the body's defences in the long term.
Here are just a few examples :
* Vitamin C - A natural antihistamine, improves adrenal function
* Grape seed extract - An immune booster
* Magnesium - Relieves brochospasm
* Vitamin B12 - Reduces inflammatory response
* Vitamin A - An anti-inflammatory, improves immune system
