Non Medicated Allergy Relief Allergy Solution

Non- Medicated Allergy Relief
Back when I was in high school, I was suffering from severe case of seasonal allergies. I could not open my eyes because they were too itchy and watery. But the real bother was the constant sneezing and runny nose. My mother swears that my nose got bigger during my high school years because I was blowing my nose constantly. Back in those days there weren’t that many medications out like these days where you can purchase over the counter allergy medicines and there are such varieties are out there to choose from. I went through all kinds of treatment for my symptoms but non really worked nor lasted long. To make the long story short, I suffered severly for about 10 years after and then decided to look for some alternate ways to treat my symptoms. If there were kinds of information that are offered now were available then I would have suffered less and my nose would have been saved from far less blowing.
All allergies come from lack of immune system. Unless it’s life threatening allergy symptom, there are many ways to boost and help with allergy symptoms without using medications. Our bodies tend to build tolerance from medications that we take. Before you know it you can end up taking two to three pills of ibuprofen when you use to take just one. By experience I know that taking medications only end up increasing to higher dosage in time. I have learned to take control of my allergies by taking natural remedies and ended up taking better care of myself. I am by no means against over the counter medications such as Claritin or zyrtec to relieve allergy symptoms but suffering from allergies for about 20 years now I have learned to take some alternate route for long term care for allergies. By taking natural remedies to control your allergies you are not only treating your allergy symptoms but you are also increasing your immune system which helps to prevent future possible illness down the line.

Natural Supplement for your allergies
First as I have mentioned above it’s important to start with boosting your immune system. The well known allergy supplement is Vitamin C with Quercitin. This combination works as natural antihistamine, which is a fast allergy relief. Vitamin C is great for immune booster. Vitamin supplements and herbs together can also act as strong relief remedies, but not many people are comfortable of herbs because they’re not as widely known to the public as vitamins. Here are some well known vitamin supplements:
Vitamin C w/bioflavonoids: Good supplement as natural antihistamine. It also provides adrenal support and act as immune booster. This is a must take supplement. Check out the right dosage prior to taking. Average adult can take up to 5000 mg daily. Because I’m small in size I take less than that.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): It’s a good supplement for adrenal support. It’s a good supplement to take with others for immune booster and antihistamine. B5 is known to help with stress relief as well. Again check for the right dosage for your weight. You can take up to 1000 mg twice in a day.
Vitamin A: This is critical for those suffering from coughing and runny nose as your allergy symptoms. My son has these symptoms. Vitamin A reduces the inflammation that causes coughing. Also helps with your immune system. Check the right dosage for your weight.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: You can combine this supplement with Vitamin A to help reduce allergic reactions. Check the right dosage for your weight. You can take up to 1000 mg daily.
There are some well known and easy to get herbal supplements that aid with allergies and cold symptoms. You can pretty much find these at local health food stores.
Licorice Root: You have probably heard of this regiment a lot. This herbal supplement helps to prduce hormones that fight against illness and allergies. Licorice Rot increases what’s called interferon which is chemical produced by your body that helps to fight viruses. This is a definite immune booster. Also helps to reduce inflammation caused by allergies and colds. You can purchase the licorice root tea and drink it 3 times a day.
