First things first, if there are foods that you are allergic to, the best way to deal with those allergies is to avoid those foods altogether. Who's to say we can say to avoid all allergens to avoid dealing with the symptoms of allergies. However, in some cases we may not be able to avoid them.
Take for instance, i'm allergic to dust. A little dust is fine. Currently, my work site is being renovated. At the beginning of the renos, I had little to no complaints about the dust. Now that the fresh air is practically closed off and I am trapped without fresh air, I am exposed to cement dust, roof material dust, wood dust, you name it, it's in here...As I walked into the building on Monday I couldn't stop sneezing. Of course it doesn't help that I'm dusting/vacuuming my apt now. SMH Both things mixed together, sent my allergic reaction in overdrive.
To remedy, I refuse to take over-the-counter unnatural medications!
1.I pulled out my humidifier, have it on low
2. I took my space heater off before I going to bed
3. Drink lots of water
4. Stay away from mucus building foods like cheese/milk, sugar etc. (I am failing in this area, but I am trying harder though.) i love coldstone, icecream in general, honey in my tea and a little chocolate cake from time to time
5. I also found that saline treatments are good and using goldenseal in the saline treatment helps to clean out the mucus (this I have not tired out as yet)
6. Kill mold with bleach (3/4 cup of bleach to 1 gallon of water)
ACHOOO! I am sneezing like crazy
6. Fresh air, which I need to get right now before my entire system clogs up
Stay allergy free. Got any other natural methods, let me know. Let's see if I can recover from this allergic reaction while still being in this dust-filled environment on my worksite. :-) MuAh & CiAo!
