Allergy Relief with Supplements!



In order to manage seasonal challenges, it is important to understand what causes them. Seasonal challenges (allergies) are the result of an overreaction of the immune system to substances that usually cause no reaction to most individuals. It all starts in the nose. The nose produces mucus, which is normally thin and clear. Mucus helps keep dust, debris and environmental allergens out of the lungs by trapping foreign particles. But these substances can still cause a reaction in the body. The mucous membranes line the bronchial and nasal passages and contain immune cells (mast cells) which are loaded with histamines. Receptors sit on top of these mast cells, and when an allergen trigger lands on the receptor, it alerts the mast cells, which then respond by releasing histamine and other inflammatory mediators. The histamine initiates a series of reactions meant to help the body get rid of the intruder, including sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes and itching.
To counteract the effects of an overworked immune system, look no further than nature itself. Several antioxidants, flavonoids and botanicals are shown to provide support for seasonal challenges.
Quercetin is a biologically active flavonoid found in oak trees, onions, and tea. Quercetin has strong antioxidant activity and is known for its ability to stabilize mast cells and diminish the release of histamine.
Stinging nettles leaf is a plant extract that has been shown to balance immune response, specifically in the airways and nasal passages. It helps control histamine action, contributing to a balanced inflammatory response
Bromelain is a plant enzyme naturally found in the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant. It helps enhance the absorption of quercetin and breaks down allergenic complexes associated with seasonal discomfort
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid precursor to one the most important antioxidants in the body, glutathione. Both glutathione and NAC help to reduce the viscosity of mucus, clearing the airways and promoting improved respiratory health.

So, after all of this information, what kind of product can you get in order to relieve yourself from these seasonal challenges? Our office carries a dietary supplement called Natural D-Hist!

Postpartum Mental Health

Postpartum Mental Health             The month of May brings Mental Health Awareness to the table. This is a topic that is serious, but never talked about enough because there is a stigma for an individual to be open about having depression and anxiety. This shame towards individuals who struggle with their mental health can also be seen in mothers with postpartum depression.             It’s a common occurrence for mothers to have what is called the “baby blues” after giving birth which involves having the feeling of unhappiness, worry, mood swings, and fatigue. The baby blues affects up to 80% of mothers after having their baby. This is caused by a significant drop in the hormones estrogen and progesterone that leads to a chemical change in the brain after the baby has been born. Fortunately, the baby blues only last a week or two before going away on their own. However, about 10-20% of women do not experience a relief in these symptoms, which leads to postpartum depre
