Don’t let Olympic Fever turn into Hay Fever! Prevent this season’s allergies with Chinese Medicine
If you’ve already had your first sneeze of the season, then NOW is time to take action! You can control how your whole season will turn out just by taking charge of hay fever early. Your body will thank you, you will look refreshed and spring will have never been so good!
Unlike Western medical treatments where non-prescription antihistamines only provide temporary quick fixes to relieve those miserable symptoms, Chinese Medicine can cure hay fever naturally. It works by correcting underlying imbalances and strengthening the immune system so it can repel external pathogens such as pollen, bacteria and viruses.
Hay fever sufferers are hypersensitive to things due to constitutional weaknesses. Firstly, they are unable to resist repeated attacks from offending substances in their surroundings. Secondly, they are also unable to dispel unresolved pathogens that have invaded their immune systems, and it is these that cause the recurring episodes of discomfort. Unfortunately, allergies happen very quickly so you cannot predict when you need to be on guard and when you’re susceptible to an attack. Sometimes all it takes is a single allergen exposure and you’re doomed with full blown misery for weeks and even months!
The beauty of Chinese Medicine is that there are natural herbal remedies that work to support the immune system to fight offending substances and at the same time dispel previous irritants from the body. Furthermore, a customized herbal formula not only solves the root of the problem but can also relieve acute allergic symptoms that are specific for the individual. Allergy sufferers may share similar symptoms but the effects do vary slightly from person to person. Some victims may experience more nasal congestion, others more intense episodes of sneezing and runny nose. Some people may experience severe itchy sore eyes, and others may not. That is why conventional drugs do not work because they assume everybody’s body constitution is the same and everyone’s symptoms are identical. We all have specific imbalances so it is important that herbal formulas are tailored to the individual.
Don’t forget that each time you pop in conventional drugs, these all contain side effects. Some may even produce life-threatening ones when taken with other medications. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine effectively and safely manages hay fever without any adverse effects.
