Question:
Seasonal Allergy relief HELP please ?
Answer:
I have typical seasonal allergies, and am looking for a non-allopathic
long-term solution for this problem.
I have tried 2g Vitamin C twice daily, with lots of water, exercise, and am a
fairly focused vegetarian. My diet and exercise are quite good, but still am
haunted by this demon of an allergy problem. Accupuncture has not had long
term improvements, but has alleviated the symptoms short term. Looking for
other ideas.
chronic seasonal allerigies. I have taken shots for this over the years,
which worked for 5 or 6 years afterwards, and would then start again. I
have been taking herbs for about 12 years to supplement my diet and improve
my nutrition. Recently I have found an herbal formula that helps my allergy
problem significantly. My wife didn't believe me until she tried it too.
Realize that it's not perfect but it helps a lot !! It's a mixture of OPC,
Hawthorn Leaf, Bilberry, Ginkgo Biloba, Milk Thistle, Yucca, and Catalase
Enzyme. So you might try that. Let me know if it works for you, or anyone
else that tries it. wsmcn...@aol.com I had tried everything for years and what helped me was Nasalcrom you can get
it a a drug store. I know it is more traditional stuff but I know a lot of
people it has helped including myself that have the problems you describe. I had seasonal allergies for over 15 years - went the allopathic route
for the first 4 of them (becoming extremely dissatisfied with all the
side-effects, as I had to drive a lot of long distances during
hayfever season) and the herbal/supplement/homeopathic route for at
least twice that amount of time (with much better results, except I
was spending money like it was water.) The hayfever was getting worse
each year. Then (totally unexpectedly) it disappeared 100% the season
following our acquisition of a magnetic sleep system, and I haven't
had it since. That was over 4 years ago. I believe the magnets
definitely precipitated a balancing or boosting of my immune system,
because the pollen doesn't affect me at all anymore, even if I dance
in it.You can get a Neti pot, which is a nasal "pot" of sorts but more like a
nasal syringe, in which you place a warm saline water solution. Pour
the solution through your nose at the beginning of allergy season, and
daily throughout the season. Helps much! Clears mucuous, inflammation
and everything else. I use it when I have a cold I have also had allergies for years and have found wheat grass to be very
benificial. One of the better products on the market is called "Wheat Grass
formula 7 (Super Green Food Anti-Oxidant) It is available at health food
stores. The manufactuer is NuLife Herbs. If it is not at you local health
food store, have them order it from the company at 1-800-720-4727
And if you eat honey, make sure it is local from your area.
