Natural Herbal Allergy Cures

Any herbal practitioner will confirm to you that the whole range of ailments triggered by allergy, or hyper-sensitivity to certain foods or chemicals, is massively on the increase today. The spectrum of such problems includes such classic allergic conditions as eczema, hay fever and asthma, as well as migraine, fatigue, chronic catarrh and respiratory problems, and hyperactivity or poor concentration in children. And if you suffered from childhood bouts with diarrhoea, eczema or colic, it is wise to consider the possibility that your health problem may have an alleric origin. This is particularly true of diseases of the digestive or the repiratory tract.

Conventional treatment for sensitivity problems tends to focus on eliminating the trigger food or chemical from the patient's life, as when children who react to cow's milk are switched to goat's milk or soy milk. Quite often, the substitute in turn becomes a trigger, and the patient is no better off.

Severe allergic problems, especially when they affect children, need professional advice from a doctor trained in clinical ecology or grom a qualified medical herbalist. Treatment by a qualified medical herbalist can often get to the root of the problem by strengthening and toning the nerves, the digestive tract or the immune system of the patient, once the specific trigger has been identified.

A good diet is vital in fighting allergies. Herbs that strengthen immune function or the digestive system are particularly useful. Bio-Strath is an excellent tonic for the immune system. Herbs and spices with a benevolent effect on the digestion-ginger, cinnamon, chamomile, yarrow, fresh dandelion leaves added to salads or soups, lemon balm or blackcurrent leaf tea-will all help, and herbal infusions should be substituted for ordinary tea as often as possible.
