How to effectively relieve allergies, natural treatments for allergies It’s that time of year when trees, grasses and weeds are releasing pollen into the air to reproduce, and some blame the weather for how they feel. Astonishingly, over 50 million Americans suffer from allergies, and approximately 55 percent of all American citizens have a hypersensitivity to one or more allergens. Why do people have allergies? The simple answer is that when allergy symptoms appear it is a sign that the body is not functioning properly. Natural treatments for allergies: While most people who suffer from allergy symptoms will try to decrease their symptoms using antihistamines, steroids, over the counter decongestants, nasal sprays, eye drops or shots, they are only suppressing their body’s functions rather than eliminating the cause of their body’s hypersensitivity reaction. While they may yield temporary and palliative relief, many of these mainstream recommended treatments are harmful for the body, toxic to the liver, and don’t actuallycureallergic reactions. Let’s face it, the body talks by using signs and symptoms to reveal that there is a problem. To understand what the body is saying, you must understand how the body functions. If it’s functioning properly, your body will be able to adapt to its environment. If it’s not, then something is interfering with its ability to function. Reduce allergy symptoms: Top three ways to naturally, safely and effectively reduce allergic reactions Emotional Balancing Techniques – There are quite a few emotional techniques that can be helpful in restoring the body’s natural functions, such as Applied Kinesiology (AK), BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique (BEST), NeuroEmotional Technique (NET), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and other energy tapping techniques. Any one of these emotional techniques can be used to bring you back to balance and uncover any underlying emotional blocks that could be impeding ideal health, thus causing your body to react strongly to normally harmless substances. EFT is a fast, powerful self-treatment for emotional and physical distress. EFT uses rubbing and tapping on specific spots on the body to jump-start and encourage the flow of energy through disturbed or blocked energy channels. This simple self-treatment has worked effectively for many allergy sufferers. Eighty percent of those who suffer with allergy symptoms and try this novel approach are able to reduce or eliminate allergy symptoms within minutes of using the technique. 2. Cleanse the body of toxins: Detoxifying the body helps remove harmful toxins and improve the functioning of our vital organs such as the kidney and liver. Considered one of the body’s most important organs, the liver is the second largest organ and its main function is to detox and purify the blood. The build-up of toxins in the body seriously destroys the proper functioning of the liver. Allergy symptoms will last as long as it takes for the liver to eliminate the offending allergen. As a reaction to allergens in the body produces histamine, the liver’s role is to remove it from the body. Due to its weakness and congestion, however, the liver struggles in removing histamine and consequently, histamine builds up in the body leading to more allergic reactions. The best place to start allergy treatment is at the liver. Removing toxins from the body improves the function of the liver, and allows the body to better adapt to its environment. A few ways to eliminate toxins from the body include: detoxification diets, purification programs, ion balancing footbaths, as well as reducing exposure to artificial and synthetic substances. 3. Chiropractic adjustments: Chiropractic is one of the most popular forms of natural healthcare in the America today, though most people do not recognize how much it actually helps with the function of the entire body, including the immune system. Structurally, chiropractic adjustments allow the bones of the spine to return to a more normal position and restore joint motion. However, the best part is that when this occurs, the functions of the nervous system are restored, symptoms are relieved and the natural healing process proceeds with keeping the body healthy and strong. When the nervous system and immune system are functioning properly, the body neither over reacts nor under reacts to stimuli; instead it adapts to it’s environment appropriately and efficiently.
