Hay fever may not need to be your worst enemy this Spring. We can offer suggestions as pharmacists/naturopath to alleviate your condition. If we can succeed in doing that, then it would be possible for you to enjoy Spring this year without the allergies.
So where do the sneezing episodes and rashes come from and what can we do to stop them?
Firstly, because sneezing in Spring is caused by pollens and similar particles they may cause your immune system to mistake them for something noxious when you inhale them. This causes them to “decide” to attack the pollens with antibodies – also known as immunoglobulins (IGA, IGG, IGM etc). When this attack occurs, the immune cells that do this (called “B” cells) release histamine and – hey presto – your nose starts to run, get itchy and this leads to sneezing.
This overall “allergic” condition usually builds up in your body when you already have a silent challenge that is irritating your immune cells. That “primes” them to become super-sensitive and go on the attack at the slightest provocation or even a harmless, “friendly” substance like a specific pollen.
So then you must decide whether you are going to just take a pharmaceutical anti-histamine drug to relieve the immediate problem or go for a natural, long-term solution to alleviate the overall condition.
But we can change that “decision”. You can signal to your immune system that it has made a mistake and these particles are friendly, not foes.
Many people quite sensibly use both options – stop the immediate reaction and then look at a long-term solution. and that’s where we come in.
The natural way consists of using simple drops, checking for hidden causes that have caused the condition to develop.
Underlying or root causes.
The major “hidden” cause is an inflamed gut membrane. This primes your immune cells to become hyperactive.
How do you detect for that? We have a simple urine test that tells us if your gut is inflamed, broadly what causes it, and whether this is causing a strain on your liver and kidneys. If this test is positive, it is routine for us to show you how to solve the problem long term.
Why do I say “hidden”?
Simply because your inner gut lining has no sensory nerves, so you can’t feel when it is challenged by a parasite infection that our simple test can determine. Nonetheless, your immune system sends “alert” chemicals to your unconscious brain (your pituitary gland) that then interacts with your immune cells and starts making decisions.
This may, therefore, affect your body generally – as the B cells are located in every tissue in case you need their protection.
This can all be avoided by taking direct action.
So, what is this “action?
- Test for this cause and start on a short course of RyVital.
- Start the corrective treatment that the test indicates (usually Wade’s “Gut Mix 1” blend, followed by Wade’s restorative “Gut Mix 2 combination).
- Support immune health with Wade’s Immune Support blend, that acts like a natural anti-histamine.
Cold and ‘flu
If still dogged by cold and flu from the winter, ask us to show you our Winter Mix (the other name for Immune Support Blend). This blend is specially formulated to build up a healthy immune system, that by definition may also support you against hay fever.
Summarising, leaky gut causes inefficient and challenged mucous membrane everywhere – it just spreads from the gut, and along with it a trigger-happy immune system. So, your body becomes geared up to react to ANY “foreign” particle immediately, if not sooner. and restoring your gut lining to normal may alleviate this condition long-term.
