Natural Support for Allergy Relief

Tired of taking allergy medication every day? Get to the source of the problem.

If you suffer from frequent seasonal or year-round allergy and sinus congestion problems you should look at the underlying causes. Your allergy issues may be worse because of what you eat and or your digestive gut health.

Your digestive system should breakdown your food into small enough particles so that you can absorb all of the nutrients. This same process also reduces your immune response to foods that you may be allergic or sensitive to. Your stomach acid starts the process by turning your food into a liquid. If you are low in stomach acid or are taking an acid blocking drug you are priming your body for allergy issues.

The intestinal wall can be damaged by antibiotics, yeast, bad bacteria and parasites. This damage can result in leaky gut. Leaky gut allows food, bacteria, yeast and parasites to enter the body which often starts an immune response to protect you from the offending item. Part of this immune response can release histamine. Elevated histamine will prime your body to react to small amounts of external allergens like seasonal pollen or other daily exposures.

Some foods are high in histamine and should be limited or avoided. Some of the more common food allergens include food consumed on a regular basis: dairy, wheat. Click here to see the full list. 

The following supplements can help us reduce allergies:

Allernyl

Incorporates bioflavonoids, micronutrients, proteolytic enzymes, and herbs into a comprehensive formula that provides multifaceted support for individuals with elevated histamine and irritation due to common environmental allergens.
Take 1 capsule twice daily, ideally on an empty stomach.

Flourish Probiotic DF Daily 30 Billion:

You can take a daily probiotic that can help crowd out the bad bacteria, yeast and parasites and help the gut wall to heal. Supplementing a quality probiotic proven to have what’s on the label supports your immune system right where it matters most.
Take 1 daily with or without food.

Vital Zinc

If you are low in zinc, any damaged part of your body, including the gut, will be slow to heal. Medical research shows supplementing zinc reduced many allergy and skin issuesbecause zinc inhibits histamine release from mast cells. Studies have also shown there is a relation between low zinc levels and an increased prevalence of asthma and allergies, and the occurrence of atopic dermatitis.
Take 2 daily with food.

A D3 K2

Vitamins A, D3 and K2 helps your immune system to work better to fight infections. So if you have frequent sinus nasal infections, these vitamins help your immune system. Recent studies suggest that vitamin D is related to allergic rhinitis (AR). Vitamins D3 and K2 also decrease inflammation and swelling, common in the lining of the respiratory passages.
Take 1 daily with food.

More Allergy Relief Tips:

Monitor Local Pollen Levels

Stay inside when the pollen count is high and it’s windy. If you do go out, be sure to shower and change clothes when returning indoors. 

Change your ventilation filters and clean fans

Installing a new, clean filter can help reduce allergens in your home. A new filter should last through the allergy season. Often forgotten, fans can accumulate a lot of dust.  Be sure to clean them regularly to avoid the spread of allergens.
