Maybe There Is No Cure For Seasonal
Allergies… But There Is Relief
Millions and millions of people worldwide suffer from
seasonal allergies. In the US alone, it’s estimated 1 out of 5
American’s are afflicted. The root causes of seasonal
allergies are varied, but often the biggest triggers are pollens
and molds.
Now, I’m no doctor and, of course, your doctor is the best
person to discuss your options regarding medications and
supplements, even diet changes, that may help you manage
your seasonal allergies. But, there are plenty of resources at
the tips of your fingers on the Internet supporting the
following 3 easy steps you can take to find relief, in addition
to what your doctor may suggest.
Step 1: Keep it clean. That’ s simple enough. A clean
house has less allergens and makes for a healthy indoor
environment. At least two times a year it’s good to do a
thorough cleaning of the carpets, upholstery, pillows,
mattress covers, even your window coverings and make sure
your air ducts are kept clean every 3-5 years. Hmmmm and I
know just where you can find a great professional carpet and
upholstery cleaner.
Step 2: Detox your life. Your immune system is
overworked and overloaded from living in our toxic world.
From the food we eat, to the environment we live in, to the
stress in our fast paced lives, we are bombarded with a
heavy load of chemicals and toxins daily. Take a step back
from your life, breathe, get out in the sun and chill out.
Choose to eat and live healthier, more organic and chemical
free. Your immune system will thank you.
Step 3: Neti pot baby! Hard core allergy sufferers swear by
the Neti pot. Here is what webmd.com says about it “A more biological explanation for how the Neti pot works has to do with
tiny, hair-like structures called cilia ….Saline solution can help increase
the speed and improve coordination of the cilia so that they may more
effectively remove the allergens and other irritants that cause sinus
problems.” – www.Webmd.com First clear it with your doc, and

then a quick trip to your local health food store can get you all
set up. Best of luck dealing with your seasonal allergies this
year!
