Reduce High Histamine Foods Did you know that certain foods can actually increase your risk of allergy symptoms? Histamine can be found in many foods that actually lead to an increase of histamine within the body leading to a higher risk of seasonal allergies and the symptoms that accompany it. We do recommend avoiding any foods that are known to be high in histamines, especially during allergy season!

Avoid The Outdoors

It may seem a bit difficult to avoid the outdoors completely but greatly reducing your exposure to the outdoors as specially when things you're allergic to when active can be greatly beneficial. If you must go outside we highly recommend trying to reduce the amount of time you spend outside and make sure you close any windows in your vehicle if possible while traveling.

Wear A Mask Chances are at this point you're probably really tired of wearing a mask, however, there is a reason they're quite effective. wearing a mask can greatly reduce your exposure to various things such as pollen and other debris that can irritate seasonal allergies. In many large cities around the world masks are quite common due to the pollution caused by cars and other technology.

About The Immune System

Your body’s immune system is essentially it’s security system, the cells, organs and tissues that comprise your immune system help to repel and fight off foreign invaders which can cause infection, illness and disease. Immune system disorders can range from minor annoyances such as allergies to more serious issues such as lupus. Genetics, lifestyle, lack of sleep, diet, stress and various other factors can impact the immune system and contribute to dysfunction.

Clearwater Acupuncture for Immune Support?

According to a study performed by the University of Madrid, Spain, the most favorable immune function effects of acupuncture treatment occur about 72 hours after a single session, persisting about one month after the end of the completed treatment. The immune functions of women with anxiety in the study were significantly improved.

Acupuncture treatment can help the patient’s body regulate immune function while treating the underlying cause of the immune function issues. Acupuncture can reduce symptoms and speed up the healing process in the body. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific acupoints through the autonomic nervous system, causing the immune system to respond with a rise in levels of messenger hormones.
