If you’re anything like me, you dread the coming seasonal changes, because you know you will be sneezing and itching your eyes like there’s no tomorrow!
But there are a few ways that we can beat the allergy with a number of simple and natural remedies. Obviously, there are drugs that can relieve the symptoms, but the best way to keep allergies at bay is by boosting the immune system, which can be done NATURALLY!
So what causes allergies? This is a response to the body’s immune system perceiving a foreign substance as a threat and then triggering the body’s production of antibodies to fight back. These foreign substances are pretty harmless, but the body views them as harmful. This immune response can cause sinuses, airways, and skin to become inflamed, which is what we call “allergies.”
Did you know that a spine misalignment can often times be the root source of your allergies? A misalignment in your spine prevents proper brain to body communication, which reduces your immune system’s ability to work properly! When your immune system is not working optimally, your body will continue to overreact to threats (perceived allergens). Allergies can cause the body to overproduce mucus, and this overproduction of mucus can then lead to upper respiratory infections, sinus infections, and even digestive issues.
This is where chiropractic care comes into play, instead of just reaching for medication! If the body is functioning at optimal levels of health, then the body is better at fighting off potential illness. In fact, the nervous system (brain & spinal cord) controls the entire health of the immune system. Therefore, when there is poor spinal health, this in turn leads to poor immune system health. Any spinal misalignments directly affect our overall health, so getting adjustments help resolve misalignments and prevent future issues.
