Seasonal Allergies  Karli Carr, M.H.

Since I was a little girl, I have struggled with seasonal allergies. My nose would run, my eyes would itch and burn, and going outside was miserable during the spring and fall. I took every medication possible and even started getting allergy shots. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to help. About seven years ago, I learned about the importance of diet in healing and strengthening the body from all types of illness, including allergies. I was dealing with quite a few health problems and was willing to do whatever it took. I started juicing and ate a raw diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. A few years later, I learned about the mucusless diet and Dr. Christopher's 3-day juice cleanse and extended herbal protocol. Over time, my body began to heal. One of the first things I noticed was my seasonal allergies were not as severe. I could spend the morning outside enjoying the fresh air rather than laying on the couch with a wet washcloth over my eyes. It was amazing.

In addition to changing the diet and cleansing the body, there are many tools that can be used to help with seasonal allergies. Often times overlooked, is the importance of drinking at least a gallon of distilled water per day. Dr. Christopher recommended an ounce of water per pound of weight. Taking a tablespoon of local honey daily has been shown to help build immunity to the pollen in the area where you live. Hydrotherapy, specifically a sweat or steam bath, helps flush poisons and toxins from the body that contribute to allergy symptoms. Skin brushing is another option that helps to eliminate toxins by cleansing the skin and supporting the lymphatic system.

There are quite a few herbs that can help calm and strengthen the body during the spring and fall. One of my personal favorites is nettles, a natural antihistamine, combined with Dr. Christopher's Immucalm formula. Another option is Brigham Tea, a decongestant, which can be made into a tea or taken in capsule form to help with mucus buildup. Dr Christopher’s Sinus Plus is another herbal combination that can be used for those struggling with sinus problems, allergies, or hay fever.

As we nourish, cleanse and strengthen our body, we will be able to enjoy rather than dread the change in season.
