Allergies symptoms are no fun, and there are powerful ways to support your body to help eliminate these symptoms. Note – your digestive health has a profound affect on the entire health of the body, especially your immune response to pollen! 4 things I suggest to support your body and digestive system:
- Include live foods: focus on incorporating live foods (fruits, veggies, nuts, legumes, etc.) and cutting out processed foods, sugars, wheat and dairy. What we eat either heals (and prevents) or fuels disease.
- Powerful gut-healing nutrients: probiotics, which provide good bacteria to improve digestion and reduce inflammation. Others: zinc, turmeric (curcumin), and fish oil. And I always recommend a high-quality multi-vitamin. Quercetin which has anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine properties that specifically help with pollen allergies and nettles which is also a great herb to relief allergy symptoms.
- Manage stress. All types of stress breaks (mental, emotional, physical, etc.) down and damages our digestion system health. Practice relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises, yoga, meditation and earthing.
- Get adequate sleep. Quality and quantity of sleep affects gut health and our overall health. Research shows inadequate sleeps shortens your lifespan and increases inflammation, which can lead to chronic disease.
- Manual Lymphatic Drainage Session The lymphatic system filters and removes the body of toxins, metabolic wastes and cellular debris. This system has a profound affect on our digestion, immune health and brain function. Also, it has helped several of my clients in relieving their allergy symptoms and sinus pressure! Book here
