Natural Herbals for Allergies

Runny nose? Itchy eyes? Congestion? If you are one of the 50 million Americans or others worldwide who suffer from seasonal allergies, take comfort in time-tested herbal Chinese remedies that can help nip your allergies in the bud.

To start, it helps to know what is going on in your body when allergies attack. Your immune system is designed to identify and combat things that are foreign to the body. For the most part, this is to your benefit, protecting you from bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful substances. But in the case of allergies, your immune system overreacts to a pathogen or particle, mobilizing with full force and producing severe inflammation and allergic symptoms, like itchy, watery eyes and a stuffy nose. Luckily, natural Chinese medicine uses many natural herbs and remedies to ease allergies.

1. Stinging nettle settles the inflammation.

Stinging nettle is known to combat inflammation, and can also help with your itchy, red eyes. Seek out stinging nettle leaf capsules or tea in health food stores.

2. Magnolia flower brings relief.

Magnolia flower is another effective herb for allergies and sinus conditions. Often combined with other traditional herbs, magnolia can bring about temporary relief of nasal congestion, sneezing, itchiness, and watery eyes. You can take a magnolia supplement by itself or in formulations with other herbs, in tea, or capsules available at health food stores, online, and from acupuncturists and Chinese herbalists.

3. Try a cup of herbal tea.

To clear up a runny nose caused by hay fever, try this traditional tea: Boil three slices of ginger, 2 stalks of scallions, and one orange peel for about ten minutes. Drink three cups a day until symptoms clear.

4. Peppermint treatment for itchy eyes.

To soothe itchy eyes, use a peppermint tea bag as a warm compress for washing your eyes. Steep the tea bag in hot water for 30 seconds, let it cool to warm and place it gently over your eyelids. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. Mint in general is considered to have allergy-reducing properties, so a cup of mint tea might help, too!

5. Herbal tonic oil can combat congestion.

Relieve chest congestion by rubbing tonic oil on your chest and upper back. Tonic oil is usually a sesame oil base mixed with some combination of essential oils – wintergreen, peppermint, fennel and cinnamon – that help to loosen up congestion in the chest and promote circulation. Some patients have told me that when they have a stuffy nose, they rub a little tonic oil on their upper lip and breathe deeply, which temporarily opens the nasal passages.

I hope these natural tips help you breathe easy this spring!

Dry Skin Issues

Step 1: Morning Routine
Rinse with warm water to prevent over-drying


Step 2: Nightly Routine:
Wash face with a cleanser that contains ceramides; it will clean your face and replenish your skin's natural protective oils. Lock in the moisture with a barrier cream, as it mimics the fatty acids of your skin. Look for creams that contain ceramides, glycerin or hyaluronic acid. Use this cream twice a day.


Step 3: SHower Routine
When you shower, create a full-body seal by moisturizing your body with grapeseed oil. Do this while you're in the shower and still wet. Rub a tablespoon onto your body and face. Grapeseed oil has antioxidants in it, which can help reduce dry skin's fine lines

5 Reasons You not able to lose weight

1. You Serve Meals Family-Style

Research shows that people eat more when food is served from the table.  Make your meal at the stovetop and bring it to the table to eat 19% less than you might in a family-style eating arrangement. 

2. Your Thermostat Is Set Too Low

Cold room temperatures are good for burning calories, but when it’s too cold, your body temperature drops and you tend to eat overeat to help keep you warm. To avoid shivering your way to overconsumption, keep the room’s temperature above 66 degrees. If you like to keep your house cold, eat a bowl of soup to warm up your body and fill you up so you eat less.

3. You Spend Too Much Time on Your Smart Phone

Smart phones keep you sedentary if you’re browsing the Web, playing games or scrolling through Facebook while sitting down. An easy way to avoid this fat trap is to stand when using your phone. Standing for one hour can lead to five pounds of weight loss in one year. 

4. You Drink Skim Milk

Although doctors have recommended skim milk for years for it’s low fat content, it’s actually not that much better for you than whole milk. In fact, research shows that people who ate high-fat dairy products had a lower risk for obesity. Switch to whole milk to feel fuller faster and, in turn, eat less. 

Your Pajamas Are Too Tight

Believe it or not, tight pajamas might be keeping you fat, especially if they're made with fabric that doesn't breath, like satin. In this situation, your body temperature can raise and you won't be able to produce enough melatonin. You want to be cool in your sleep to produce enough melatonin to help you fight fat. Avoid this fat trap and sleep in loose and light cotton pajamas tonight.
