Is hayfever making you drowsy? Try kinesiology

Sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat, streaming eyes - hayfever symptoms are no fun. It’s a mad dash to the pharmacy for many. And while anti-histamines and other over-the-counter remedies can work in the short-term, it’s also worth looking at natural, longer-term options. They tend to not have side-effects, such as drowsiness, and may prevent further symptoms in the future.

The intricacies of the immune system are vast, so we’ll keep it simple. According to the nutrition experts at Cytoplan, ‘An allergy develops when the immune system becomes “hyper-sensitive” to foreign substances and launches an inflammatory response when exposed to them.

‘In susceptible individuals these allergens are viewed as threats, and causes the body launch an immune attack.’

In the case of hayfever (allergic rhinitis), the allergen is pollen from plants, trees and grass.

Due to a cascade of chemical reactions, the body produces histamine to deal with the “immune attack”, and it’s this that causes the uncomfortable symptoms.

‘This is why the most common type of intervention normally comes in the form of antihistamines,’ says Cytoplan’s expert.

Fortunately, mother nature has a slew of her own anti-histamines, which can provide longer term solutions and are safe.

Those recommended by Cytoplan’s resident nutritional therapists include Vitamin C, Quercetin, Spirulina, Vitamin D, Omega 3s, Aller-G Formula, Pre & Probiotics.

Of course, with a bespoke kinesiology treatment, you can take out the guess work and find out exactly which nutrients your body needs.
