blamed moving from Michigan to
Colorado and the dry climate with its
different pollens, as the cause of my new
found illness. Like many, I started taking
allergy pills, even doubling the dose,
but found myself sneezing and itching
my eyes at the same time as I yawned
from the sleepy-side effects of the
antihistamines. Then I started learning
Ayurveda and things began to change.
It took a little over a year of good eating
habits, cleansing diets, hot water, ginger
and other spices, and herbal medications.
But I’m happy to say I haven’t taken an
allergy pill (or antacid for that matter)
in almost two years! While Ayurveda is
not a quick-fix, it’s also not a bandage.
Rather, it has withstood the test of time
for working its magic. I hope Ayurveda
can help you successfully combat your
allergies – wishing you all a happy,
healthy, allergy-free Spring season!
