Find relief from Hayfever, Sinusitis and Seasonal Allergies.
Allergic Rhinitis can also be a localised inflammatory response year-round to animal dander or dust mite triggers. Depending on the severity of the symptoms, this can significantly impact quality of life, sleep and energy.
Allergy control begins at home. Many people with allergies stay indoors when outdoor air is full of pollen and spores. But dust mites, animal dander and mould can cause problems indoors.
Once you have identified what triggers your response learning to manage symptoms is easier. Testing is helpful for those still to understand what triggers their symptoms.
There are also a number of herbs and nutrients that can help manage the symptoms and support long term immune health such as quercetin, Vitamin D, albizia and perilla. These are available in tablet or liquid form when you book a consultation.
As the digestive system is home to 70-80% of the total immune system of the body, it is helpful to look back to the gut as a foundation to address the possible root cause. Supporting the immune system through the gut helps with sensitivity issues not only to food but also to seasonal allergies. Working with the gut lining and restoring microbiome balance are also key, so tailored pre and probiotic are also used.
