My allergies have been coming on with a vengeance for about the last 2 weeks now and for many years I've been using Claritin or Zyrtec to control them. This year has started no different, I've already made a hefty dent in my Zyrtec bottle. But I don't want to finish it... I don't want to continue to add chemicals to my body if I can find a natural, safe, even possibly organic product that will be equally effective... So I began researching and here's what I've found...
- With homeopathy, one pill will not work for everyone...
- Most homeopaths feel that allergies are an outward expression of something being "off" internally and will treat that vs. the symptoms of the allergies.
- Quercetin seems to be the most widely used natural source for relief of allergies
- From Wikipedia:
Quercetin may have positive effects in combating or helping to prevent cancer, prostatitis, heart disease, cataracts, allergies/inflammations, and respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and asthma[citation needed]. It also has been claimed to have antidepressant properties, however any claim of quercetin action against neurological diseases should be treated with skepticism due to the fact that quercitin is a neurotoxin in vitro.[10] It also may be found in dietary supplements. An 8-year study found that three flavonols — kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin — were associated with a reduced risk of pancreatic cancer of 23 percent.[11]
So where can I get this? I've found that if I Google Quercetin and hit the shopping tab - there are dozens of products out there... if you are interested, give it a go, I know I'm going to. I'll let everyone know what the outcome with me is after a couple of weeks. Keep you fingers crossed :)
