Allergies. Can they be stopped?

I tell you what, my nose running or my throat dry irritates me.  Here in L.A., it's almost a sure thing that I'll have one or the other at all times.  So what can I do about it?

  • drink plenty of water, 8 8oz. glasses are recommended per day (hydration can help your body function better to avoid full-blown allergies)
  • include local honey in diet (honey is a mixture of all the flowering plants in your area, ingesting honey has proven to decrease allergic reactions to these plants)
  • sleep (rest allows your body to regenerate, which encourages good immunity)
  • low stress 
  • humidifier (the Vicks UV Germ free is my favorite pictured below - I've tried MANY)
All of these actions will also help you have a healthier life and possibly live longer - and these actions have all been proven to decrease the likelihood of you suffering from allergies.
Happy Breathing!!!

    "spirulina powder is also great for calming my nasal allergies. about 3grams mixed in water or a smoothie."

    "Great advice, Heather. I would just add that the honey needs to be *RAW*. Regular honey has been pasteurized at high temperature and so the beneficial properties you mention have all been killed off. Also, do try a neti pot or nasal rinse. They are *magic*! http://www.neilmed.com/usa/adword_sr.php?gclid=CJCi66zyqaECFQpLbQodM0sQDg "

    "I second Kate's recommendation of a neti pot. It works better than anything I have ever tried."
