i've NEVER had allergies before! today i stayed home from work because my head is heavy, my eyes ache, i sound as though i'm holding my breath, and my throat aches. i've been caught so off guard with this. what can i do about it? teas to drink? herbs to take? please! i can't stay out of work forever!
first see a doctor try and work out what is causing the allergy. you need to try and find the root cause first prevention is better than cure. in the meantime see a doctor
I recommend to drink 3-4 cups of stinging nettle tea with three teaspoons of Swedish Bitter Drops inside per day. That gives relief in many cases of hayfever allergies.
i find that the best thing to do for allergies is fast. stop eating everything for at least a day or two and only drink distilled water( i think that's the purest water available). a lot of times allergies are related to food. especially wheat and dairy products. if you don't have time for that, the best thing to do is go to a natural food shop, wholefoods supermarket, or whatever and buy the herbal capsules they sell, i have found the product called , sinus-stop, is the best.
