| Combating Allergies With Natural Treatments! | |
© By Lena Sanchez
Fall is just around the corner and the thought of sitting in
front of the fireplace with a cup of hot beverage enjoying
the heat relieving cool crisp evening is so enticing.
Watching the leaves falling and enjoying fall flowers dotting
the countryside with heavenly beauty being anticipated.
Well all those things are good and enjoyable for most people
but there are a number of you who sit in front of an open
fireplace seeing through a fog of tears with the nose
running. A walk in the forest or woods brings tears to your
eyes kicking off a runny nose. You can't quite see that
gorgeous field of wildflowers for a fog of tears and itchy nose.
Why?
The air throws allergy triggers at you creating misery!
Seasonal allergy symptoms are caused by an immune
system over reacting to an allergic response, usually mold,
pollen, or other tiny microscopic substances floating on that
beautiful crisp cool air.
Commonly known triggers for fall seasonal allergies are:
Ragweed. Seen along roadways, yards, vacant lots, fields,
and other sunny spots. This common weed with finely
divided leaves and tiny, greenish-white blossoms is said
to be one of the leading cause of fall allergy symptoms.
Other triggers are; Indoor and outdoor molds peaking in
the humid months of late summer and early autumn and
are especially problematic for people who suffer with
asthma.
Outdoor molds are found in the beauty of the falling
autumn leaves, damp soil from the late summer rain,
vegetation growing all around us, and rotting wood
when taking that walk in the forest or woodsy areas.
Indoor molds flourish in damp household areas such as
basement, shower and near washing machines and dryers.
Another known allergen is Dust mites. Although present
year round, dust mites love the humidity and can cause
problems during the fall months when they're stirred up
by dirty ventilation and heating systems being turned on.
You may not think you have certain allergens in your area
but "One ragweed plant can produce one billion pollen grains
that can travel from 300 to 700 miles in the air," says
Clifford Bassett, MD, medical director of Allergy and Asthma
Care of New York. "Ragweed is the No. 1 fall and late
summer weed in most areas of the U.S. that causes fall
allergies,"
How to possibly skip that runny nose and tearing eyes!
Start before the allergies hit you! The misconception of
most is that you treat the symptoms after they arrive.
Not good! You don't have a lot of time left to prepare,
but just enough for most areas of the Western hemisphere.
Create a healthy immune system that will not over react
to those allergens! First on the list to help build a normal
reacting immune system is; absorbable liquid sea based
minerals for balancing the total body systems. Next, herbal
immune boosters.There are several great immune boosters
that you can find at your local health food store. If you want
a recommendation that I find works maximally and you can
purchase online or phone,

Have your heating system cleaned in your home so that
when it's turned on it won't kick up those stale allergens.
Keep all areas of the house dry and clean. Those wet
towels laying in the bathroom floor is building dangers
for you.
If you let the time get away and allergy hits you without
notice curb it with something simple and natural.
One remedy found to work for several suffering with
runny nose and tearing eyes is Horseradish, a fast
remedy. It works because it is known to contain
glycosides that increase circulation and expand the
sinus cavities. Horseradish, a minor natural antibiotic
unlike prescription man-made antibiotics, is known to
not only kill bacteria but also viruses.
The best horseradish dose that appears to work for
the most people; eat ¼ to ½ teaspoon of fresh grated
horseradish, mixed with vinegar. Vinegar helps
increase the absorption rate. You may also eat it
sprinkled on foods such as salads, this is said to
reduce the possibility of stomach irritation as well.
It may be consumed up to four times a day. If
horseradish is fresh it can make your eyes momentarily
water.
CAUTION: Do not take horseradish if pregnant, have
gastric ulcer or a kidney disorder. Stomach irritation can
happen with large doses of horseradish.
This is also a time when you should be taking mega
doses of antioxidants as well. Allergies kick up the
free-radicals and set you up for more serious illnesses
or diseases.
Wishing you an allergy free fall season!
