Written for Complete Care of Colorado – A Natural Approach to Family Medicine
Spring is the best time of year, and here in Colorado, we just might be done with the snow!
The weather warms up, the days are longer, and the color comes back to the trees and grass.
But there is one downside to the warmer months…Seasonal Allergies!
With the budding trees and beautiful flowers comes pollen and other irritants that make us want to run inside on the nicest of days!
Here at Complete Care of Colorado, we have 5 effective, natural remedies for seasonal allergies.
How to Break Free From Your Seasonal Allergies
Seasonal allergies can affect anyone with either an overactive or underactive immune system because everything that enters your body is first processed through your liver.
So, during allergy season when pollen, dust, and other allergens are present in your body, your liver is working in overtime to process the foreign substances. When your liver is overloaded and unable to process all these foreign bodies, the immune system becomes hypersensitive and overreactive to the seasonal changes causing severe seasonal allergy symptoms.
Liver Health
When allergens enter your liver, it begins to produce antibodies to fight off what it doesn’t recognize, and when too many antibodies are released, it creates a hormone called histamine which is responsible for your spring seasonal allergy symptoms such as:
- Sneezing
- Coughing
- Runny or itchy nose
- Itchy, watery eyes or eye irritation
- Wheezing
1. Detoxify Your Liver
Detoxing your liver will help to ensure that it can handle all the allergens that it is processing. We offer a multitude of detox kits that don’t just help your liver, but they also help detox your entire body making sure it is ready to tackle those seasonal allergies.
All of our Detox Kits are available here. Any of these kits will help to clear your liver and reduce inflammation making it easier for your body to process allergens and avoid allergy symptoms.
There are other things you can do for your liver as well, such as reducing stress and reducing other inflammatory challenges such as sugar, alcohol, and dairy.
Immune System
When your liver is working in overtime processing the allergens that are entering your body, your immune system becomes hypersensitive and overreactive, which can cause these common allergy symptoms:
- Fatigue/trouble sleeping
- Headaches
- Ear infections
2. Ozone Therapy
Ozone Therapy works by stimulating the immune system and regulating the production of proteins that destroy harmful microbes.
By increasing blood flow and circulation throughout the body, ozone stimulates the uptake and utilization of oxygen by the body’s cells allowing your body to use oxygen more effectively.
Ozone is effective on multiple levels. On a very basic level, ozone activates the immune system and stimulates oxygen metabolism in cells. When foreign substances enter your immune system, it becomes inflamed and starts attacking those substances, so during allergy season it is very important to boost your immune system to help it fight off the allergens that are present.
By keeping your immune system at optimal performance, you will greatly reduce the symptoms of allergies.
3. IV Therapy
Nutritional IV Therapy is a more effective way to deliver nutrients to hydrate and revive the body. You can select a tailor-made blend for your needs, or you can choose from our menu.
For example, Mt. Sneffles is the ultimate immune booster. It combines B complex, zinc, vitamin C and normal saline.
This would help relax your overactive immune system giving you relief from your allergy symptoms.
Not to mention that being properly hydrated will help to flush out your liver, helping it to process all the allergens coming into your body.
