Do you suffer from seasonal allergies, such as hay fever?

Soon, we hope, milder weather will come to visit us and pollen will happily wander through the air.

While most people are happy, this time can become a nightmare for allergy sufferers as their mucous membranes become irritated, leading to congestion and inflammation of the nose, sinuses and eyes.

How to heal yourself naturally:

In terms of diet, we need to increase our consumption of raw fruits and vegetables, as well as sprouts, and reduce toxin-producing foods such as meat, fried foods, foods made with white flour, and refined sugars.

To counteract the inflammatory process, supplement with Omega 3 (1 to 2 grams per day depending on your diet) and/or eat more oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), chia or hemp seeds, flax or hemp oil, as well as walnuts soaked for 5 hours, lamb's lettuce and eggs from hens fed on flax seed. Zinc and Vitamin D will increase immunity.

To speed up recovery, take 5 drops, 3 times a day, on an empty stomach, of G-1 All-Gem from Helbal Gem. This is a remedy based on blackcurrant and rosemary buds that rebalances the allergic terrain, maintains vitality, stimulates the defense forces and provides rapid relief. You can start treatment immediately, especially if you feel tired, in order to prevent or alleviate your symptoms. Take for 1 to 2 months depending on the severity of the symptoms. You can add a homeopathic treatment, such as 'Seasonal Allergies' by Schmidt Nagel - 5 to 10 drops, 1 to 3 times a day, to target a wider area.

Finally, allergies can be linked to a leaky gut and/or a disturbed liver. If this is the case, it is best to consult a naturopath, because all symptom treatments are doomed to failure if the problem is not resolved upstream.
