A hot topic lately is the problem of allergies. Although we have many great products to help the symptoms, let’s first take a look at some of the reasons that you may be having problems while others around you are not.
In today’s busy lifestyle, we see more and more clients, daily who have weakened adrenal glands. This area of the endocrine system is responsible for the inflammatory reactions in the body. If it is out of balance for any reason it may overreact or under-react. If it is overacting, it is clear that any irritant will cause a response. Many supplements will work to make the body react less, however the root cause may actually be the imbalance in the adrenal glands. This is often do to stress or the emotional attachment to feeling powerless.
We often support the adrenal glands with a product called Adrenal Support. Many times the Chinese Nervous Fatique formula does the
trick quickly and easily. Licorice Root is a common adrenal support nutrient, but should be limited to a couple months of use due to its ability to raise blood pressure. There are several Touch For Health points that would strengthen the adrenal glands. Once you learn the points you will be able to “rub” them yourself for relief.
If you are looking for relief of swollen nasal passages, you can mix ¼ cup filtered or distilled water with a small pinch of sea salt and 1 ½ teaspoons of Ecinacea/Goldenseal Liquid. Warm this to body temperature. (Not in the Microware!) and place 3 drops in each side of the nose. The overall solution fights infection but the goldenseal also reduces swelling.
If you haven’t done your Tiao He Cleanse or other body cleanse lately you may find that this will help tremenously. The back up in the colon and small intestines will make allergies worse.
Now if you have done all these things and still have allergies…The nutrients in ALJ are helpful for the allergies we are seeing that are pollen related. Histablock seems to work well for many of our clients. Dandelion is also helpful, with the added benefit of being a liver building herb because of its natural iron content. Sinus Support will really dry the mucous discharge.
