Allergy and Sinus Relief

Sniffling season has begun. Whether you are at the grocery store, the bank, your local coffee store, etc. you will hear everyone complain about their runny noses, watering eyes, and scratchy throats. Piling prescription, over the counter and nutritional supplements into the shopping carts is a new fad at this time.
Instead of spending more money, we can educate ourselves on how allergies are caused. Instead of focusing on stopping the body within its healing process, you will be given the empowerment to overcome them year after year!
There are two types of allergies, or rhinitis, which is allergic rhinitis and non-allergice rhinitis.
Rhinitis is an inflammatory reaction in the eyes, nose and throat. Most of our issues within an allergic reaction. This is usually caused by an airborne irritant that triggers Histamine.
If you already have allergies then you know the symptoms that accompany it. Such as, runny nose, congested nose, itchy, watery eyes, nose or throat, coughing and sneezing and also more fatigue!
Some of the health problems associated with allergies are gastrointestinal symptoms (like gas, indigestion or diarrhea), earaches, swollen lymph nodes, asthma, skin rashes/itching, and chronic sinusitis.
Allergic Rhinitis has two types as well. The first being Seasonal rhinitis. Seasonal is usually triggered by plant pollens. The second is non-seasonal which is usually triggered by airborne irritants. Such as, dust, mold, smoke, animal dander, straw or hay, and chemicals. This one most commonly is also triggered by food sensitivities or drugs that we do not even think about.
To begin stopping the non-allergic rhinitis, you can eliminate household cleaning products and other chemicals, purchase an air filtration system and drink plenty of clean water.
