Itchy eyes, nose, and throat; sinus congestion and fatigue are common seasonal reactions in the damp valley of the Greater Cincinnati area. Sometimes seasonal allergens even bring on asthma and difficulty breathing.
There are a number of ways to get ahead of this histamine cascade:
- detoxing the liver with nettles/milk thistle,
- keeping the diet clear of cow dairy and sugars (alcohol is a sugar),
- nasal flushes/rinses,
- acupuncture: often includes soothing the liver qi and boosting lung qi/ wei qi,
- over the counter antihistamines (reactive and temporary fix)… (side effects: drowsiness and dehydration),
- prescription allergy meds (again…side effects: drowsiness, dehydration etc.).
You can find acupuncture here! It’s relaxing and it optimizes your health using your body’s own energy called “Qi”! Appointments can be made and managed online. Questions can be sent to: tinyneedleacu@gmail.com
