Spring is in the air. Green shoots and budding trees are uplifting to see but, unfortunately, this is also pollen season.
Allergic reactions are inappropriate, overblown responses mounted by the body’s immune system against a harmless substance — take oak and ragweed pollen, for example. Neither of these pollens are poisonous, infectious, or in any way harmful to humans. But in some people it triggers an attack by immune system cells that takes the form of an allergic reaction. When this happens, the oak and ragweed pollens — or any offending substance — are called allergens.
Spring Pollen Survival Guide
- If you do get congested come in for an adjustment to restore nerve flow and communication to all parts of the body. Studies show adjustments enhance body immune response.
- Being low on energy makes you more susceptible to allergies. Nutritionist Adelle Davis has interesting data regarding the relationship of allergies to overworked and exhausted adrenal glands. But in summary, boost and support your adrenal glands by taking B vitamins and possibly an adrenal supplement such as Drenamin (aDRENAl MINeral) from Standard Process.
- Boost your immune system so it deals with allergens more effectively. There are various highly effective supplements from Standard Process such as Immuplex (IMMUne comPLEX), Allerplex (ALLERgy comPLEX) and Echinacea* C.
- Drink plenty of water. 4 pints a day of water that is room temperature is vital to physical health.
