Does this sound familiar to you…… sinus pressure and a headache, red, swollen, itchy eyes, sneezing and a runny nose? You feel really tired and out of it. You are just miserable and finding it hard to function. So you go to the store and buy one of the over the counter “allergy” relief products. Fifteen to twenty minutes later you still have all of the symptoms only to a lesser degree and all you want to lie down and take an all day nap. People spend millions of dollars every year to find relief for their allergy symptoms using conventional medications only to be miserable again as soon as their medicine wear off. There is another way. Natural medicine and acupuncture has been giving safe and healthy relief to millions of people for thousands of years. 

Simply stated allergies are the result of our bodies interacting and responding to our environment. This includes the natural substances and chemicals we come into contact with, inhale or ingest as well as the foods and liquids we eat. Our immune systems “identify” all of these things as belonging in/to or not belonging to the body.  

When the body encounters something that it does not interpret as belonging in it the body reacts to this substance by producing something called antibodies an/or releasing histamines. 

Many people react to certain foods, cigarette smoke, perfumes, pollens, dust, mold and animal hairs in this way. The body will produce a variety of symptoms. The milder reactions include itchy eyes and skin, runny or stuffy nose, head ache, sinus pressure and skin reactions. The more severe symptoms can be life threatening such as anaphylactic shock where the air ways of the person constrict and they cannot breathe properly. 

Some people suffer from seasonal allergies that only affect them at certain times of the year. Still others suffer from environmental allergies such as food or chemical sensitivity. There are many natural remedies available to the public. The question is which one is the right one for you. Allergies can be very confusing and distressing to deal with.  It is strongly suggested that anyone suffering from allergy problems have them diagnosed properly by their health care professional before taking any medicine as a remedy for their allergies. The good news is that most allergies are readily treatable with complimentary and alternative medicine. East West Center for Natural medicine has many options for the allergy sufferer.
