UnitedHealthcare A viewer asks, how does integrated medicine
treat seasonal allergies? Well with seasonal allergies, often called hay fever or allergic
rhinitis, often the culprits are environmental agents, however foods and food reactions can
cause increased congestion and allergy symptoms. So it's important to look at all these things.
I believe and I see from my own experience as someone who's had seasonal allergies all
his life, when I did my first cleanse back in the 1970s, it really cleared my allergies
a lot and I felt much better and it also motivated me to follow a much healthier overall diet
and lifestyle. With hay fever, you need to look at both the environmental aspects and
the foods. And it is wise to begin by seeing your medical doctor or an allergist to possibly
be checked and be desensitized to some of the reactive problems, especially if your
symptoms are bad. Of course there's a lot of over the counter prescription medicines
to help control allergies. Some natural remedies, though, are vitamin C at somewhat higher amounts,
quercetin which is a bio-flavanoid that helps reduce histimane reactions, omega three oils
and herbs like nettle and comfrey and other ones. You know, basically following a general
program to help support the body's health. Multi-vitamin mineral because nutritional
deficiency can make, you know, most matters worse. As I said, it's wise to kind of check
yourself out with your physician and find a treatment that works for you. Overall, allergies
are a multi-faceted problem and it is often a help when you use a variety of solutions
and that's my suggestion on an integrative approach to seasonal allergies.
