Environmental Allergies:
Relieving An Illness Thru
Types Of Alternative Medicine
Environmental allergies have always been an over-looked segment and is often thought of as one of the newest types of alternative medicine. This type of allergy can be the result of inhaled substances (from both indoors or outdoors) such as pollen, chemicals, mold or from your pets. Foods also play an important role, whether they be ingested or just inhaled. Often, now it is becoming more frequent that allergens in the office, home, medicines or industry and environment can also be the trigger. Two Types Of Environmental AllergiesEnvironmental medicine is the study of the relationship between our bodies and its daily environment. The signs of a "clash" between the two of them usually manifests itself in two major types of symptoms.- The Over-Aggressive Immune System this is characterized by the following example. Two people are having a peanut butter sandwich. The person with the over-aggressive system will start to show signs of a rash, hives, respiratory distress, eyes, ears and nose symptoms. The second person with the normal immune system will show no unusual symptoms at all.
- The Under-Aggressive Immune System is a sign of an immune system in distress. This could be because of illness or disease. This is characterized by very little outward signs of symptoms but since your defenses are down, you will commonly catch every cold or virus that seems to go around. It will also be characteristic of slow to no healing times when you get an infection, cut or general illness.
Environmental Allergies And ChildrenThrough research and testing, it has been clearly demonstrated many children with ADHD, autism, hyperactive disorder, slow mental cognitive function, learning disabilities plus more can be attributed to the foods they eat plus other environmental factors the child comes in contact with each day of his life. Desensitization, strict avoidance programs and often dietary changes have shown remarkable results though worldwide. Although not all children can be "cured" or can obtain a reversal of symptoms, many times enough improvement can be obtained so the child (or adult) can lead a much more normal life.Natural Living Techniques To Reduce Food Allergy SymptomsAfter initial diagnosis and treatment procedures have been initiated, some or all of the following procedures will probably be utilized to help your child (or yourself) better adjust to defeating your allergy triggers.- Find a way to reduce the mental and physical stress in your life. Many people state as their life becomes more stressful, their allergies become more predominant
- Consider becoming a vegetarian or at least reducing some of the major allergens you ingest in your life. Rely on a broader range of organic fruits and vegetables in your everyday diet to reduce the chemical and pesticide toxicity in your diet..
- Incorporate juicing into your diet, whether it is from organic fruits, vegetables or a combination of the two
- Consistent exercise can benefit the overall strength and health of the immune system
- Detoxification under the strict supervision of an experienced practitioner can help reduce or remove the allergen sensitivity
Although treating environmental allergies is becoming more and more difficult to diagnose because of the increased incidence of toxins in our lives, at least now the promise is there for many people that a life-plan is available to help. Many times the patient is required to make major lifestyle changes to their diet, their home and work environment, their list of toiletries, the herbicides and chemicals used in cleaning and gardening, or even their pharmaceutical medications. All or many of these may need to be minimized to prevent an increased incidence of allergic reactions.
