SEASONAL ALLERGIES

  So many of us suffer from seasonal allergies with no hope in sight. Thankfully, there are many ways to treat your allergies naturally! A great way to tackle seasonal allergies is by not only addressing your stuffy nose, watery eyes, and chest congestion but  by also blocking the histamine release, boosting your immune system, and cleaning your lymphatic system. You can use the herbs in teas and or tinctures. Many people have found over the years that by using herbs for allergy relief, their bodies naturally heal themselves from the allergy.

  My husband has had a horrible lifelong allergy to cottonwood tree pollen, terrible sinus congestion, migraines, and fatigue. He tried prescription medications and over-the-counter allergy medications, all providing little help. In his first year of using herbs for allergy relief, he was on a tincture blend of stinging nettle, Mormon tea, and ginger root. A turmeric paste made of ground turmeric, fresh ground black pepper, and local raw honey. And a tea blend of stinging nettle, elderberry, hibiscus, and dandelion. Taking 6 droppers of tincture 2-3 times a day, turmeric paste twice a day, and 1-2 cups of tea daily. After 3 years of using herbs during allergy season, he is now down to 4 droppers of tincture once a day during high pollen count days. God created our bodies to heal, and the plants needed to help with that healing process  

  It is important to know what you are putting in your body; clean eating will greatly improve your body's ability to respond to allergies. Many of today's processed foods contain ingredients our bodies are not created to use. Our cells do not regenerate properly, cause inflammation, and lack much-needed vitamins and minerals for our immune system. Avoid processed sugar by switching to local raw honey, which will bring relief. Using ancient grains like Einkorn will reduce inflammation and gluten intolerance. Avoid seed oils, as they cause inflammation. Extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, and ghee are much healthier options. All processed foods are full of chemicals not required by the FDA to be listed in ingredients; processed white sugar has 10-15 additional chemicals that are not listed
