The weather in Maryland this weekend is beautiful.  Cool crisp nights with today’s high in the low 70’s.  So, last night I turned on our whole house attic fan and pulled in all that crisp cool air.  Unfortunately, I also pulled in tons of pollen from all the flowers in my wife’s garden (she loves her flowers!).

This morning I woke up to a scratchy throat, completely clogged sinuses, watery eyes and non-stop sneezing.  Did I immediately reach for my bottle of Antihistamines – NO!  I have an easier, healthier, and quicker solution with no toxic side effects.

So, most of us are at home social distancing and being with our Families.  Spring is a beautiful time to be home and enjoy the beauty of Nature in full bloom.  But to some folks this is the dreaded allergy season.  A time of miserable sneezing, coughing and wheezing from the Pollen released by those gorgeous blossoms.

What can you do?  Antihistamines can help the symptoms in the short term, but with uncomfortable side effects.  Also, they work by blocking your body’s natural allergic response.  Symptoms are our body’s way of telling us something’s wrong and to fix what’s broken.  Merely blocking the symptomatic response without addressing the underlying problem is like cutting the wires to the fire alarm.

For Spring allergies, that means to naturally improve the respiratory system’s ability to cope up with the onslaught of exogenous proteins while calming down the already over reactive immune response.
