Seasonal allergies afflict many Americans, with symptoms occurring anywhere from early spring through late November.  Our immune system’s over reaction to pollens, grass, airborne fungi, animal hair and even some kinds of foods. Our environment has become more and more toxic which causes our immune system to be compromised. Runny noses, watery eyes and sneezing are the result of our body fighting back the allergen by producing an excess of inflammatory chemicals, such as histamine. Often these symptoms create other problems such as sinus infection, throat infections and ear infections which can be extremely painful and debilitating. 

Typically doctors prescribe antihistamines for allergies but many people experience discomfort because the physical side effects associated with the regular use of antihistamines and decongestants. Antihistamines and decongestants can make you drowsy and sluggish which makes it hard to do your work.You can also get dry mouth which can lead to bad breath. Dehydration is also a side effect for frequent antihistamine takers. Sometimes prescription allergy medicine doesn’t work at all  and you have to keep constantly trying new ones.
