Northern California allergy season - help?!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I have been pretty miserable out here in the San Francisco bay area since

allergy season hit. I seem to be reacting to everything that's blooming right

now. Do any of you happen to have a suggestion on a natural antihistamine and

decongestant? I'm taking Claritin D but I always prefer a natural or

homeopathic alternative.

 

Thanks so much!

I use tea tree oil for many things including my allergies. I rub it all

over my face paying special attention to the sinus areas. It really loosens

things up for me.

 

 

 

Lavender essential oil is known to be a natural antihistamine. I do the

same with it regularly. The lavender also does wonders for my complexion

and mood.

An excellent herbal combination I recommend to my clients for allergies

is ALJ.

I'm in New England too. The pollen is unreal these past couple of weeks.

The rain was awful, but at least it washed some of it away. I take the Nettles

too (Stinging Nettle) and swear by it. Awesome. It takes a while to work

though.

What or how does the cal/mag help with allergies? I take the cal/mag now for

help in sleeping.

Hi Dawn!

 

The rain did help to wash some of the pollen away . Recently I

read that SOME people who suffer from allergies have nutritional

deficienceis and taking a cal/mag mixture amy be able to benefit

them. I tried it and found that it made a huge difference in how I

feel! so I guess I am one of those people who has a nutrition

dificiency and could benefit from it. I have at times take

ecchinacia (sp?) but only for short periods of time, and have had

success with that as well. My sister swears by a spoonful of local

honey twice a day.

Hi Allee,

 

First of all: what is the root cause of your allergies?

For many people it all starts with leaky gut and

faulty digestion. Weak adrenal functioning can also

be a factor.

 

How is your digestion?

Have you ever tried strengthening the lining of your gut?

 

Please keep in mind that the people on this forum are

not doctors (at least most them are not) and cannot

give medical advice.

 

We are trying to get away from the " take this pill "

approach.

 

" Envirozon " from the Rainforest pantry works

well for an allergic friend of mine, but in the long

run you want to address root causes.

hi ms. newport,

i'm new to this group and am an allergy sufferer but it's year-round

and SEVERE. i live in central texas, so lots of allergens in the

air. i just had sinusitus surgery because i had so much buildup in

my sinuses from all the infections over about 13 yrs. my husband is

really scared that i've been taking Rx allergy meds for so long, and

i would love to get off of them, but everything i've tried

(vitamins, herbs) hasn't worked. any suggestions? i read the

ingredients in the ALJ and many of those things i've taken with no

success.

thx so much,

sommer
