Heal Your Allergies
Ditch the Zyrtec™
and Smell the Wild Flowers!
When you grow up in New Hampshire and suffer from chronic seasonal allergies as a child, as I did, your doctors love to tell you that the solution to your sinus issues is to move to the desert. It wasn’t until finally moving to the Southwest in my early 20’s that I realized just how totally off the mark those East Coast doc’s were. Here in the high desert of the four corners area, we have some brutal allergens from pinions, junipers, cottonwood, flowers and grasses. I’ve even known certain people to head to higher elevations in the spring in search of escape from the endless sneezing and sniffles. So what’s a nature lover to do?
Try these tips to get to the root of your allergy issue.
Prevent histamine: Start taking quercetin and some variation of the Chinese formula Yu Ping Fan San, to stop allergies in their tracks by preventing the release of histamine and other inflammatory agents. I have many effective options in my office!
Heal your gut: Did you know that the root of many allergies often begins with the health of our gut? Dietary proteins that pass through the compromised lining of a leaky gut can trigger a cascade of autoimmune response, including allergy symptoms. Removing inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy can be a great start to solving this problem.
Get Acupuncture! Over the past 13 years, I have been implementing a special allergy busting technique that uses Acupuncture and Guasha (an anti-inflammatory massage technique) to give you instant relief while addressing the root cause of your allergies. I’ve helped hundreds of patients breathe freely again and significantly reduce or eliminate seasonal allergies.
Load up on quercetin rich foods like: swiss chard, carrots, beets, yams and cabbage, along with probiotic rich fermented foods like kombucha, kimchi and sauerkraut.
