It’s allergy season. What can you do to help yourself? If medications are not your thing, what are your natural alternatives? How do you boost your immune system and get over your allergies naturally? I’ve managed to eliminate my allergies, but it’s not a simple fix. It takes commitment and time. If its something you want to do, these five supplements may give you a good start.
Allergies are about a histamine reaction in the body. I’m going to cover critical supplements that help reduce histamine in the body. I’ll touch on one supplement that not too many people have heard of, Diamine Oxidase. I’m also going to cover supplements that will help boost your immune system in ways you might not have thought about previously. There are better ways to boost your immune system than just taking anti-oxidants. You’ll get to hear my journey and my doses and the timeframes it took me.
