Sneezing, a runny nose, itchy eyes—nagging allergy symptoms like these can put a damper on anyone’s enjoyment of spring’s tender beauty. And the treatments your traditional doctor may offer aren’t much less annoying than the symptoms: weekly desensitization injections, drugs, and nasal sprays laced with steroids. I know this firsthand. Back before my days as a natural medicine writer, I was saddled with allergies that sent me from doctor to doctor in search of relief. After skin testing finally suggested I was sensitive to certain spring-flowering trees, I endured weekly allergy shots, took drugs that made me dopey, and still I suffered through the entire season. Matters worsened when I moved from Manhattan to a house in the country. As much as I loved my new home, I was miserable for those lovely spring weeks when I should have been celebrating the beauty that surrounded me. IstockphotoHomeopathy to the rescue Then, thanks to an assignment to write about homeopathy, I experienced a dramatic cure that ended my allergies on the spot. Truly. Call it a placebo effect, call it mind over matter, call it whatever you want. The fact is that after one two-hour visit to a homeopath, I was cured of my spring allergy symptoms. Now, years later, I’m still symptom-free. When I got the assignment to write about this 200-year-old medical practice that defies credulity, I decided to pit homeopathy against my stubborn allergy symptoms. I found an osteopath trained in homeopathy. At the time I saw the osteopath, she was practicing in Philadelphia; she has since joined the University of Maryland School of Medicine integrative medicine staff. Homeopathy didn’t make much sense to me. In fact, it sounded completely wacky. Homeopathic remedies are made from plant, animal, and mineral sources, diluted to such an extent that not even a molecule of the original substance may still remain. The theory is that by ingesting minute amounts of a substance that would normally cause symptoms (such as an allergic reaction) in a healthy person, you can trigger some kind of healing response, instead. I didn’t expect homeopathy to work on my allergies, but since it seemed safe enough to try, I gave it a shot in the interest of research. My visit was typical of a visit to a classical homeopath. She interviewed me at length (it felt like therapy), excavated my medical and psychological history, and noted my symptoms, both physical and emotional. Then, she figured out which of the hundreds of homeopathic remedies best matched my “symptom profile.” My consultation lasted about two hours. After learning that I’m positively phobic about spiders and that my mother had breast cancer, the doctor matched my symptoms to a rare remedy used to treat arachnophobia. (The connection between spiders and breast cancer? Because, she told me, cancer cells are often configured in a spider-like formation.) Just one little white pill of Carcinosinum Burnett, which is diluted from actual cancer cells, did the trick. Soon, I was free of clogged sinuses, headaches, and other symptoms—and I still am, years later. I can’t tell you why or how it worked—but it did. Really. To learn more about homeopathy, or to find a qualified practitioner, visit Homeopathic.org. Seven more tips from a naturopath 1. Wash your hands and face after being outside to remove pollen. 2. Consider getting pollen-specific air filters, especially for the bedroom. 3. Use saline nasal sprays, which help remove pollen from the nasal passages. A good one to try is Breathe Again; you can find it at drug stores. 4. Or, get a neti pot, a little Aladdin’s lamp–shaped device that holds salt water, which you inhale through your nose. It’s similar in principal to using a saline nasal rinse, but it reaches deeper to more completely clear pollen from nasal passages. 5. Cook with ginger or take a daily ginger supplement to help reduce inflammation. A yummy way to take ginger: add a spoonful or two of New Chapter’s Ginger Honey Tonic (available at most health food stores) to club soda. Or, nibble on a couple of cubes of crystallized ginger. 6. Take 1,000 to 2,000 mg of vitamin C three times a day with each meal during the allergy season (reduce the amount if it gives you the runs), along with 400 IU of vitamin E. Vitamin C helps decrease the circulating inflammatory free radicals which increase during allergy season, and vitamin E supports the Vitamin C functions. 7. Take 500 to 1,000 mg of the bioflavonoid, Quercetin, three times a day with meals during the allergy season to slow the body’s release of histamine, which Anderson says is the cause of many allergy symptoms. |
Walking is a form of exercise, which is the key to complete daily fitness. It has plethora of benefits associated with it. Walking is the best way to stay in shape and build your stamina; it’s like a complete package of exercise which includes cardio as well as weight bearing exercise, because when we walk we carry the weight of our body, something other forms of workout like cycling, weight lifting, etc are not able to provide. Walking can help cure several problems and prevent even more from happening. We can say if fitness was made available in a single capsule then walking would be the most vital ingredient of all. Walking helps reduce weight, which is very serious problem, nowadays; so many children are obese which can cause serious health related issues in their future. It is a proven fact that walking for half an hour a day can reduce the risk of heart attack by up to 30%. Walking also helps control diabetes and there are many other advantages like when you sweat during walking it improves the health of your skin, it burns calories, assists respiratory problems and above all it helps to increase the muscle strength and endurance of the body. In today’s fast-paced world, most people hardly get time to relax and think about their body, so walking is generally not a part of their routine, but we need to realise that without a healthy body we will not survive in this ever-demanding world. In the modern era, most people prefer to use a treadmill rather than going out for a walk. Treadmill helps save people time and they can exercise from their homes only. However, using a treadmill is never the same as walking outdoors, one can never burn the same amount of calories on a treadmill as he/she can outdoors. When someone is running on a treadmill there is certain amount of work that the treadmill is also doing and there is no air resistance as there is in open spaces. Walking outdoors is more beneficial than treadmill because it challenges out body to maintain it stability when we come across steps, curbs or small obstacles, also when using a treadmill we can never go downhill, which is also very important because that targets a completely different set of muscles. Therefore, if you can find a safe place and a little time for walking, there is nothing better for your body. Walking is the most natural exercise in the world; it cost nothing and has no disadvantages. QUOTE OF THE MONTH: Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open. ~B.K.S. Iyengar |
