Relief for Allergies

Spring is in full bloom now, if you live north of the equator. For many people, it's a time of renewed vigor, outdoor workouts, and gardening galore. Yet for others — and it's estimated that over 40 million Americans suffer distressing seasonal sensitivities — the blooms of spring spell misery.

The good news? As I write about in detail in my new booklet/CD combos Herbs: Nature's Medicine Chest and Conquer Cold & Allergies: Surefire Tips to Find Comfort Naturally & Boost Your Immune System, and also communicate in my new book Walking on Air: Your 30-Day Inside and Out Rejuvenation Makeover, there's hope in nature's medicine chest for safe, effective, and time-tested relief. And while natural remedies can soothe symptoms after they start, many have found it helpful to build up their defenses before seasonal sensitivities get them down.

Take the "Sting" Out of Seasonal Sensitivities

Stinging Nettle is a popular herbal solution for many in my private practice. Why? For one thing, it's a natural source of quercetin, a plant-derived flavonoid that supports the body's response to allergens and inhibits histamine release (the substance produced in the body that causes bothersome sneezing, itching, and respiratory complaints). To find out more about one of my favorite herbal remedies that takes the "sting" out of seasonal sensitivities, please continue.

Health Benefits of Stinging Nettle

• Supports allergy response
• Soothes distressing seasonal symptoms such as teary eyes and runny nose. Individuals with pollen-related concerns who drank 1 to 2 cups of Nettle tea daily, or who took 2 to 4 - 500 mg capsules daily in November and continued through April when the pollen arrives, reported improved allergy response in the spring. Yet, consuming the tea or capsules beginning in April, if this is new information for you, will also have a positive effect.
• Non-drowsy

This nutrient-packed root also revitalizes the body, promotes urinary tract health, builds healthy blood and more! Don't let springtime sensitivities drag you down. Get a lending hand from nature's wonderland.
