Herbs for Spring and Summer
Spring is here and Summer coming soon. Follow some of these tips for an enjoyable Summer! If you choose to use herbs, please also do so along with a healthy diet and exercise.
Allergies and hay fever are abnormal reactions to everyday substances such as pollen, dust, dander, etc. and involve many different organ systems of the body, primarily the respiratory, liver and adrenal glands. Using herbs to strengthen these systems will give your body a preventative edge over allergic reactions, and will further help decrease the severity of uncomfortable symptoms.
Licorice - A wonderful ally to the adrenal glands and is probably the most widely studied adrenal herb.
Ginseng - The adaptogenic properties of Ginseng allow the glands to balance stress and energy while creating an overall resistance to allergic reactions, colds, flus and infections.
Dandelion - A strong liver is also vital to a healthy balanced body, acting as a protective factor against allergies. Dandelion is one of the most nutritive and strengthening herbs to the liver. It helps clear toxins and stimulates the energy of the liver to work towards the resolution of the allergic reaction.
Nettles and Eyebright - Good for controlling excretions from your nasal cavity. For the opposite affect use Ma Huang.
Mullein - Great for any type of respiratory ailments
Additional Herbs noted for Allergy relief include Red Clover,Goldenseal, Elder Flower and Bayberry
