If you suffer from seasonal allergies, you know that spring can be a
difficult time to celebrate. A seasonal allergy is the body’s reaction to an
airborne particle such as pollen or mold. These allergies surface at specific
times of the year when certain trees, grasses or weeds are in flower or when
molds release spores into the air.
Natural
allergy remedies can be effective by promoting a sinus cleanse, helping to
eliminate these irritants from the respiratory system.
What are some natural allergy remedies?
Though pollen and other allergens are an unavoidable fact of life, there are
natural and common sense ways to help reduce their effects:
- Clean. Do a thorough spring cleaning. Windows, bookshelves and vents
collect dust and mold, which can trigger allergies.
- Close your house and
car. Limit your exposure to the particles in outside
air and run your air
conditioner, which filters the air as it cools it.
- Wash. As you come in from
being outside, you bring particles and dust in
with you—on your skin and
your clothes. Wash exposed skin and, if you need to, change clothes once you’re
inside.
- Stay away from chemical irritants. Fumes from tobacco smoke, paint,
insect sprays and other chemicals can affect the lungs and nasal passages.
- Consider taking a supplement. Natural allergy remedies such as ALJ® from
Nature’s Sunshine nourishes the immune and respiratory systems, supports healthy
lung function and encourages a gentle sinus cleanse.
Promoting a natural sinus cleanse
Certain herbs can support a natural sinus
cleanse. ALJ
helps balance the natural eliminative functions of the respiratory system with
fenugreek and mullein. These two plants contain mucilage, a substance that
causes the herbs to swell in water. This creates a viscous, fibrous substance
that provides a soothing effect for the respiratory system.
Natural
allergy remedies such as ALJ can help:
- Soothe irritated tissues.
- Encourage the entire respiratory tract to gently cleanse itself.
- Support
healthy lung function.
- Assist the body in neutralizing allergens by
nutritional means.
- Provide effective respiratory system support.
Airborne particles are everywhere. When particles enter the respiratory system
via the nose or the mouth, the body turns on its cleansing mechanisms, and the
immune system is put on active duty. Give it the support it needs with a natural
allergy remedy such as ALJ.
