For those who suffer airborne allergens, there are precautions you can take in advance to protect against having these allergic attacks. If you’re already affected, there are some steps we can take to reduce the uncomfortable response to these pollens.
One of the treatments we often resort to is a liver hormone called Yakriton. This liver hormone was described by Dr Harrower as the detoxifying hormone of the liver. It has the ability to act as a natural antihistamine and liver decongestant. Clearing histamine without commercial antihistamines we can reduce the allergy response without causing drowsiness.
Anything which assists decongesting the liver can assist in reducing allergy response. This is one reason I encourage a liver cleansing protocol in the spring. This can work wonders for the chronic hay fever sufferer. It’s not too late to get started right now to do some work cleansing the liver.
With the fresh herbs like young dandelions coming up right now, these can assist in clearing the liver. Bitter herbs like these assist in purging the liver and moving bile to help with digestion and bowel function. These bitter herbs have antidepressant qualities as well.
As I suggested in an earlier article, the use of curcumin to nourish and soothe the effects of inflammation on mucous membranes has been seen to significantly relieve the nasal symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis. The results seen here were noted to have been after a two month protocol on 500 mg a day of curcumin. The use of a biologically enhanced curcumin could potentially prove more effective.
The herbs, goldenseal, goldenrod, eyebright, echinacea, and cayenne have been used in combination to effectively treat the symptoms of allergies. These may also assist in establishing repair of damaged membranes. Since these membranes require specific nutrition to remain healthy, insuring proper diet is critical.
Vitamin A is required for the health of skin. This includes the membranes of your sinuses, eyes, inner ears, intestines, and lungs. When lacking in the diet, we can see where these barriers to the outside world can become weakened, allowing various allergens to enter into the bloodstream. When this happens, your body has to mount a defense, which is what you experience as an allergy. The stronger the response to these foreign elements, the greater the allergic response.
Your systems defense mechanism involves an adrenal response as well. The more stressed you may be, the more cortisol you have circulating in your system. High cortisol levels result in thinning out membranes, allowing allergens easier entrance into your system. When evaluating allergy, cause and clearance must be considered. Stress levels from either biochemical imbalance, as in hypo or hyperglycemia, emotional stressors, sleep deprivation, nutritional deficiency stressors from poor diet, or from poor clearance, as seen in a congested liver, all have to be taken into account.
Treating the underlying cause is the best way to avoid the revolving door of seasonal allergies. I love seeing the allergy sufferer healed once and for all. We have the resources you need to get freedom from the prison of allergy. The botanical combination I mentioned is something we can use right away for active symptoms while we work on the underlying issues.
After a winter of heavy foods, many times, the purification protocol is just what’s needed to restore the vim and vigor needed for your summer activities. This is a modified fast with nutritional support to aid cleansing of the entire body.
