Dr. Melissa’s Natural Allergy Relief Tips

Video Transcript:

I’m going to share with you natural allergy relief tips. So, with allergies, a lot of what you’re experiencing is a reaction in your body where your immune cells are releasing histamines. So, histamines tend to be the root of allergic responses or allergies when you’re getting the itchy scratchy experience up in the eyes, the sinus pressure and congestion, the sore, itchy throat, or even hives.

So, allergies can take a broad kind of effect on the body based on how histamines often affect you. But this protocol is really going to delve into reducing the histamine reaction in your body. Not necessarily so much like removing you from the allergen sources, because a lot of times, seasonal allergies, you just can’t really get away from the allergens. But this protocol will be extremely helpful with the internal part of allergy season.

DAO Lowers Histamine Levels

So, number one, there is a supplement I recommend called DAO, D-A-O, and it’s diamine oxidase. And this is a powerhouse histamine Pac-Man gobbling supplement. And when we consume DAO on a daily basis – but also sometimes twice a day during the height of allergy season – DAO can help reduce the histamines.

And histamines cause the inflammation [1], they cause the puffiness, they cause the headaches, they cause the gunkiness in your eyes when you’re waking up in the morning. They cause the dry throat and soreness that sometimes happens when you have allergies. So, DAO can really target the root cause of allergy responses in your body and lowers histamine levels. So, that’s tip number one.

Turmeric Lowers Inflammatory State

Number two, I recommend you grab T3D. That’s a supplement we have here that really taps into the amazing power of curcumin or turmeric. Turmeric, or turmeric, is a powerful anti-inflammatory, and it can be extremely effective in lowering the inflammatory state of your respiratory and mucus tissue [2].

So, when we’re dealing with sinus congestion and gunkiness in our throat and coughing and even skin-related allergies like hives and puffiness, the properties in T3D, because it’s fermented, we have a more bioavailable, more potent form of turmeric that will target the symptoms. So, I love to add T3D on a daily basis during an allergic response or allergy season.

N-Acetylcysteine Clears Respiratory Passages

Now, the third recommendation here is to reach for NAC. We call it “nack.” It’s an abbreviated name for the N-acetylcysteine supplement that allows you to really clear up the histamine reaction and the mast cell activation in the respiratory passageways [3].

So, if you tend to have allergies that causes you sinus grief and headaches where you’re feeling puffy up here in this upper sinus cavity, your ears are plugged and clogged and you’ve got a lot of mucus, NAC will really help that, especially if your allergies then turns into a sinus infection or a bronchitis, which is very common. You’ll have secondary infections from the histamine overwhelm and the mucus now overproducing and becoming a harboring point for bacteria.

So, I love NAC in a microdosing. So, taking 500 milligrams of NAC in the morning, afternoon, and right before bed is extremely powerful and works consecutively, the tag teams with DAO. So, NAC and DAO are really powerful in this combination.

Spirulina Modulates Histamine & Immune Response

And then, another powerful resource is to reach for our OrganiGreens. This is our newly formulated powerhouse of modulating immune regulation in green potency. So, the green powder and the whole assortment of greens, particularly spirulina being our core ingredient, you are going to find that when you take OrganiGreens daily – so, make a nice green smoothie with some pineapple because of the bromelain, and add in maybe a little ginger, and add in a whole bunch of really powerful antioxidants like blueberries and some bananas, the combination of spirulina with some pineapples – you’re going to get the capacity, your body’s going to be reducing inflammation levels, and the spirulina will target immune regulation.

So, instead of having your immune cells releasing all these histamines, spirulina comes in and kind of caps that responsiveness. So, it helps downgrade an overwhelmed response of histamines. And that’s exactly what we need.

Allergy Season Can Be Tolerable

We need to address this from multiple levels. And this protocol does that. It cleans up the histamines, it blocks the histamines, and it really helps to balance and modulate your immune response so that you have less inflammatory state in the sinuses and the upper respiratory passageway, and you have less histamines roaming through the body, causing you grief during allergy season.

So, I’m excited to share this protocol with you, and I hope you find it helpful, and I can’t wait to hear how you find this protocol works in your life.
