Respiratory allergies and natural products
Yes, those allergies are back! We're all delighted by the warmer weather and melting snow, but for many (and more and more), it also means runny noses and watery eyes...
If symptoms appear or worsen in spring or autumn, you need to consider the possibility of a pollen allergy. These two periods represent peak colonization for many plant species, which produce pollen containing antigenic substances. Fortunately, there are a number of natural solutions that can help relieve your discomfort and allow you to enjoy spring to the full.
Homeopathy
Taking Pollenox complex as a preventive measure, preferably in late winter or early spring, will be beneficial. Another natural productAllerginox , 10 drops 3 times a day and 10 to 15 drops every Sunday (it's easier to remember) for increased desensitization to all forms of allergy.
Trace elements and vitamins
If you prefer trace elements, you can consume the following: manganese 1 dose every 2 days for the first 2 weeks, then one dose a day for the following weeks; phosphorus 1 dose every day; sulfur 1 dose every day.
Combining group B vitamins and vitamin C is a good idea, as they both have an anti-allergic effect. Take two-week cures at least.
Phytotherapy
The neurovegetative system is considered to be excessively stressed, the liver is polluted and no longer plays its filtering role, and the body is generally clogged. Allergy is seen as the manifestation of this intense inner disorder. Certain plants are therefore recommended:
Passionflower, valerian, lavender, hawthorn, angelica, horehound, lemon balm, birdsfoot trefoil: to relax the neurovegetative system.
Fumitory, linden sapwood, yellow patience, chrysantellum americanum, black radish: depurative plants to cleanse the body (liver, kidneys, blood).
Bittersweet, burdock, wild pansy, scrofularia: cleanse your skin if you suffer from skin allergies.
Take these plants alternatelyto avoid habituation, in a three-week to three-month course of treatment, depending on the intensity of your allergies.
Preferred diet
Eat a balanced and varied diet, taking care not to overload your body with unhealthy fats (cold meats, red meat, fried foods, refined oils, excessive dairy products, creams, sauces) or foods that create too much acidity.
Instead, eat fish or white meat, poultry, vegetables, first cold-pressed virgin oils and wholegrain cereals (wholemeal bread, bran bread and wholemeal-based foods).
Increase your intake of dietary fiber to facilitate waste elimination.
Drink plenty of water outside meals, at least a liter and a half a day, to drain accumulated toxins.
Healthy living
Exercise regularly, preferably in the great outdoors, and remember to breathe deeply to purify your body. Air your house or apartment every day.
