Seasonal Allergy Relief!
Seasonal Allergy Relief! | Kearney Chiropractor | Dr. Kowalski
Dr. Kowalski talks about natural ways to help relieve seasonal allergies.
Allergy symptoms make you feel simply awful. Congestion, post-nasal drip, itchy eyes and sneezing wear your body down. While the severity of symptoms of allergic rhinitis vary widely from season to season, chances are if you have seasonal allergies, the symptoms impact your day-to-day life.
Antihistamines, corticosteroids and decongestants, as well as other OTC allergy medications, counteract the effect of the histamine produced by the body. However, they do have side effects. The most common are:
drowsiness
impaired performance
dryness of the eyes, nose and mouth
restlessness
abdominal distress
unusual bleeding and bruising
heart palpitations
insomnia
In children, side effects include:
nightmares
overexcitability
upset stomach
impaired cognitive function
Pharmaceutical allergy medicines simply aren’t for everyone. Remember, they don’t cure the allergies — they just treat the symptoms. In fact, many aren’t recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney or liver disease, glaucoma, or with thyroid problems.
Try out these natural ways to help relieve allergies that are mentioned in the above video, and hopefully you can find relief from your seasonal allergies!
