Okay, this post needs a soundtrack:
Yes, it’s allergy season. There are tons of over-the-counter allergy meds being marketed, but they’re not going to help solve the problem. Here’s what has worked for me:
1. DIET CHANGES. I’ll say it again and again and again. Diet is the root of our health. Change what you give your body and it will change what it puts out. So, eliminating dairy has made a huge difference in the way my body can handle allergens. Since the body’s not focused on digesting the dairy and reducing the inflammation caused by it (and other indigestibles), it has an easier time fighting off histamines.
2. NETI POT or SINUS RINSE. I’m not the first one to recommend this. C’mon, even Oprah thinks it’s a good idea!
3. ALLER-EASE. This stuff works! I’m currently not taking any such supplements due to pregnancy, but Hubs and I have had mucho success in the past with this product and others from the Buried Treasure line.
4. BLOWING MY NOSE. Sounds simple enough, but how many times have you seen someone sniff and sniff and sniff (and sniff and sniff) without eliminating the mucous? The body is trying to get rid of it! Help yourself out!
5. I also found some great information in this article found on Mother Earth News.
