Hi Everyone. Here is some information to help with the baby formula shortage.
Blue skies, sunshine, and the smell of freshly mown grass and flowers tell us that spring is here at last. We turn our thoughts to picnics, bike rides, and simply enjoying the great outdoors. But for many of us, spring can be a time of sneezing, coughing, runny nose, itchy eyes and feeling miserable. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, “allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic disease.” Allergies can affect our sleep, concentration, energy level, and overall wellness.
Allergic rhinitis or “hay fever” occurs when things in our environment such as pollens, mold, and dog hair create an inflammatory reaction causing a histamine response and the allergy symptoms mentioned above. Before you start treatment, it’s best not to self-diagnose. Many things can mimic allergy symptoms such as nasal polyps, sinus infections, and gastroesophageal reflux or “heartburn,” so please go see your doctor.
Once you have been given the diagnosis of allergies, my preference is to avoid medications if possible and practice the following preventative measures:
If your preventative measures are not working here is a list of supplements, treatments, and medications which may help. As always, consult your doctor before starting any new treatment.
I leave you with one final thought. Thomas Edison said, “The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.” I truly believe this and highly recommend before reaching for medication you try to take the toxins and chemicals out of your diet and increase anti-inflammatory foods and supplements. Good luck and God Bless You (just in case you sneezed!)
