Dr. Bino's Corner, Natural Remedies for Allergies

Does allergy season make you feel beaten up?

The weather is starting to get warm which means the flowers are going to start blooming, which means the dreaded pollen season begins.  This time of year has always caused me fits with allergies.  In the past I had taken over the counter medications, but as of recent have had no success in dealing with my allergies.  So what are some natural remedies Dr. Bino can recommend for anyone dealing with allergies?  Here are a couple of his recommendations:

1. The Queen's Magic (Eden Pond Labs) Dietary Supplement - 100% Natural with no additivess, reduces inflammation.

2. Chewing Honeycomb - There is an old Vermont remedy that suggests eating a honeycomb will alleviate sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.  Chew the honeycomb for as long as possible, and within 30 minutes allergy symptoms could disappear.  Ideally you start chewing honeycombs a week or two prior to allergy problems starting.  Honeycomb has many other wonderful properties as well.

3. Neti Pots - Have been used for thousands of years to flush the sinuses and keep them clear.  Essentially it's like using a nasal spray to rinse away your allergens.  Takes some getting used to for us Westerners, but has been proven to be highly effective against allergies.

4. Allergey Fighting Foods - A German study, published in the journal Allergy, found that participants who ate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids were less likely to suffer allergy symptoms than those who didn’t regularly eat these foods. Omega-3s help fight inflammation and can be found in cold-water fish, walnuts and flaxseed oil, as well as grass-fed meat and eggs.

To help keep airways clear when pollen counts are high, add a dash of horseradish, chili peppers or hot mustard to your food — all act as natural, temporary decongestants. It’s also a good idea to avoid foods that you’re slightly allergic to until the air clears. Fighting off allergies can render the body hypersensitive to those foods, causing more severe reactions than usual.
