Spring into March with these seasonal allergy tips, look out for our March Workshops, and Our Tea of the Month!
Combatting Seasonal Allergies
This years pollen counts may be at a record high due to our mild winter this year. Tree pollen, and mold are abundant in the March and April months, and next comes grass, and ragweed during the months after. Stop the allergies before they ruin your outdoor seasons by trying acupuncture.
Allergies occur when your body is in contact with an object that is recognized as a threat, even if it isn’t. During an allergic reaction your body’s immune system starts to develop antibodies to try and protect itself from the foreign object.
Acupuncture can help to quiet the parts of immune system that are over stimulated by the exposure of seasonal irritants. This East Asian medicine technique that has been around for thousands of years is known to boost a person’s immune system. In addition to preventing allergy symptoms from occurring, acupuncture can also diminish an attack from escalating. Acupuncture can relieve symptoms of sinusitis, itchy red eyes, sneezing, cough, runny nose and hay fever.
How to Prevent Environmental Allergies All Year Round
Eating a spoonful of LOCAL, raw honey a day will help keep your seasonal allergies at bay. By giving your immune system a small dose of this bee food will help it to cope with the allergens in the air during pollen season because it won’t recognize pollen as a foreign substance.
I hope you enjoy these tips. Stay happy and healthy and have a wonderful March!
In good health and love,
