Allergies are an over-reaction of the immune system to harmless substances. Blocking histamines and avoiding the substances are common practice and are often the first line of defense while addressing the deeper root of the cause of allergies.
Allergies are an over-reaction of the immune system to harmless substances. Blocking histamines and avoiding the substances are common practice and are often the first line of defense while addressing the deeper root of the cause of allergies.
Relief from an allergy begins with recognizing the allergen is a triggering factor to an over-reaction of the immune system, and this is an indication of a severely disturbed internal milieu and compromised intestinal mucous membranes. Intestinal immunity makes up 90 per cent of the immune system, thus the intestinal mucosa plays a large role in allergy symptomology.
Addressing allergies should include a multistep approach starting with relief of symptoms and reduction of the hyper-allergic reaction. This can be achieved using Allernest, a fast-acting homeopathic drainage formula from Nestmann Pharma, which works deep within the body to reduce the hypersensitive reaction, stabilize histamine levels, reduce inflammation of mucous membranes and strengthen cell walls.
An advantage of Allernest is that it can be used both acutely to experience natural anti-histamine like effects (often within 20 minutes), and longer term to resolve chronic allergy symptoms. Allernest is successfully used for symptoms associated with seasonal, environmental and food allergies including:
- Hay fever
- Coughing
- Rashes
- Food reactions
| - Sneezing
- Headaches
- Itchiness of the skin
|
Other considerations from drainage and biological medicine approaches for long term allergy therapy should include:
- A hypo-allergenic diet.
- Addressing acid-base imbalances to reduce hyperacidity
of the milieu. - Restoration of the intestinal mucous membranes.
- Resolving intestinal dysbiosis to modulate the allergic immune tendencies and promote a balanced symbiosis of the bacterial colonies within the gut.
- Supporting eliminatory organs and the lymphatic system.
Allergies are a greater indication of a disturbed internal milieu. Using Allernest as your first line of defense will provide fast-acting relief of symptoms and work long term to help reduce and eliminate allergies in your patients.
