Seasonal allergies can make you miserable. I should know because I have dealt with it all my life. I have tried over the counter drugs to relieve sniffling, sneezing, itchy red eyes and hay fever but these drugs made me drowsy. I have found much a different approach – holistic healing – which takes into consideration of the complete person – mind, body and soul.
Acupuncture already helps relieve chronic pain. It has also shown to be a safe and effective treatment for allergy sufferers, curbing the underlying immune system imbalance which is thought to be the root of one’s allergies.
There are essential properties found in a variety of fruits and vegetables which moderate histamine production and release, such as leafy green vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, and spring onions. Citrus fruits high in vitamin C (especially lemons) are extremely good for boosting immune response and preventing the symptoms of seasonal allergies.
